Happy Friday and Happy Valentine's Day! Today is the day we celebrate our love for each other. Typically, Valentine's is celebrated by couples, but why not share the love with your friends? These pillow boxes are just the right size to give your friends a couple pieces of chocolate or a small gift. Last weekend, I made some of these Valentine's treats to pass out at a Demonstrator event that I attended. I love making treat holders … [Read more...] about Happy Valentine’s Day

Thoughtful Blooms
Two of my favorite items from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog have been the Thoughtful Blooms stamp and matching Bloom Punch. The Thoughtful Blooms stamp set is free with a $50 (pre-tax/shipping) order and the Bloom Punch is free with a $100 (pre-tax/shipping) order. The punch is on the pricier side, considering how much you have to spend to get it, but I have thoroughly enjoyed using it. And it makes cards like this one so much easier to … [Read more...] about Thoughtful Blooms
January Paper Pumpkin
Happy Friday! I am looking forward to a lowkey weekend… packing up boxes… lots and lots and lots of boxes. My plumbing saga continues. I now have running water in the kitchen once more. Hooray! I should clarify that the running water is running exactly where it’s supposed to and not all over my floor. But I also have lots and lots of missing drywall and flooring. So now we begin the restoration process, which means the entire first floor of my … [Read more...] about January Paper Pumpkin
Valentine’s Day is Coming

He’s Twenty!
I'm not sure how it happened, but this guy turned TWENTY yesterday. Say what?!? It seems like this was just a few months ago... But it wasn't. Some days I ask myself, where does the time go? We're so busy living our lives everyday that in the blink of an eye, my sweet little kid has grown up. Evan, I am so blessed to have you in my life. You're an amazing young man and I am so proud of you every day. Keep reaching for the stars! … [Read more...] about He’s Twenty!
A Second Round of Customer Thank You’s…
I love making thank you cards for my customers every month and sending them out to my customers. I am grateful every single time that they chose me as their Stampin Up Demonstrator. In December, I had a couple customers that placed more than one order. Rather than sending them two of the same card, I made a slightly different card and those that made two purchases received one of each card. For the background on this card, I stamped the … [Read more...] about A Second Round of Customer Thank You’s…
December Customer Thank You’s
I'm a little later than I like to be sending out my Customer Thank You cards, but with my plumbing adventure and a family matter, it is what it is. For the month of December, those customers that spent at least $50 received a thank you gift from me in addition to their card. I have a box of retired embellishments and ribbon that I hadn't used yet, so they were sent an item out of the box. My thank you card uses the Painted Poppies Suite … [Read more...] about December Customer Thank You’s
