Oh my gosh, 2020 is almost over. Are you celebrating? Or holding your breath for what's to come in 2021... the sequel! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the sequel is going to be better than 2020. I actually managed to get my November Customer Thank Yous done pretty early in the month, but didn't get them to the post office until closer to Christmas. Oh well, it happens. I kept November's card relatively simple so I could get them … [Read more...] about November Thank You Cards

From My Home To Yours
Merry Christmas from my home to yours! Even though this Holiday may not be what we are used to, it's still a time to celebrate virtually with those near and far. I never thought we'd all be crowded around a laptop talking to family and friends on Christmas, but here we are. Thank you, 2020. :) And I couldn't resist sharing another Christmas project. I love these itty bitty, teeny tiny houses. These are made using the dies from the Coming … [Read more...] about From My Home To Yours
A Rainbow of Trees
Every Christmas, I make a new home decor piece to add to my Holiday decorations. Usually, my Christmas decor is very traditional. But last year, I saw the large white wood trees and inspiration struck. I painted this set of rainbow trees with the help of my amazingly talented friend Annette. This year, I added a set of hand-painted rainbow houses to match my trees. The trees came in a plain silver metallic color. I lucked out that Annette … [Read more...] about A Rainbow of Trees
More Snowflakes!
If you haven't looked at a calendar lately, Christmas is this week. I know! Where has the year gone? I still have a couple Holiday projects to share and plan to get to all to them before the end of the year. First up is a shaker card using the Snowflake Splendor Suite. It's a little hard to see all the pretty snowflakes in the window, but I can assure you, they are there. One of the coordinating dies in the set does the window cut out … [Read more...] about More Snowflakes!

It’s Complicated
Who knew that white paper could be so complicated? As it turns out, it is a little complicated. Stampin Up makes all our card stock in the US and they use several different paper mills to manufacture all those gorgeous colors. Unfortunately, Covid has forced the permanent closure of the paper mill that we use to manufacture our Whisper White card stock and envelopes. Since that paper mill is no longer in operation, Stampin Up came up with … [Read more...] about It’s Complicated
Snowflake Splendor
I just love the thought of snowy Winter mornings. Sitting by a roaring fire, drinking a nice cup of coffee, enjoying the Winter Wonderland outside. Of course, I won't ever see that unless I go on vacation somewhere. SoCal isn't exactly a Winter Wonderland of snow. It can get chilly, but snowfall isn't going to happen where I live. Still, that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the beauty of snow elsewhere. And I'm a sucker for beautiful snowflakes. … [Read more...] about Snowflake Splendor
