Okay, be honest, did you just gasp there? Seriously, the days are sailing by at light speed. Before you know it, Back To School supplies will be on sale and Halloween will be right around the corner. And once the Halloween decorations come out, the rest of the holidays will be here as well. Like I said, it's almost 2017. It is not too early to start working on those Christmas projects that never quite seem to get done every year. (Admit it, … [Read more...] about Only 185 More Days Until Christmas!

The Best Mother’s Day Ever
Just in case you didn't know, yesterday was Mother's Day. We celebrated with my mom Saturday evening and my hubby spent the previous Saturday with his mother. Yesterday, we got to do something I've been dying to do since I first heard it they were building it about two years ago. We went to Universal Studios to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Oh my goodness! Universal did a pretty good job recreating Hogsmeade and Hogwarts. It … [Read more...] about The Best Mother’s Day Ever
Mother’s Day is THIS Weekend!
Mother’s Day is this Sunday. Can you believe it? It’s not too late to send your mother a Mother’s Day Card. And if you’re hand-delivering it, you still have plenty of time! Today I'm sharing an adorable gift wrap idea to hold your mom's present. This little purse was made by Poli and it was her swap for our April Downline Meeting. I love the great use of washi tape as purse straps. Washi tape is so inexpensive and we all have tons of it in our … [Read more...] about Mother’s Day is THIS Weekend!
Five Minute Friday
If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you already know that I was selected to be one of the stampers that made projects for display at OnStage. I was truly honored to be selected. And humbled when I met the other artists and realized that a number of them are current and previous Artisan Award winners. My assignment for the display projects was to make 20 items focusing on the five 2015-17 In Colors. We were to make one 3D, one scrapbook … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday
One last Easter Treat
Just a quick post today. A couple weeks ago I shared an Easter treat bag that I'd come up with. You can see it here. Here is another version of this treat bag with a cute chickie stamp. So cute! He looks like he has a fuzzy belly! I love these adorable honeycombs. They come in white, blue, and pink. I colored the white ones yellow. Here are all the Easter treats I made for all of the place settings today. The little chickie is from … [Read more...] about One last Easter Treat
Work It Wednesday – Wink of Stella
This weeks Tool Review is going to be a little different and super short! But don't worry, I do have an Easter project to share as well. This week, I'm reviewing a product that just came out in the Occasions Catalog - Wink of Stella. The price for the Wink of Stella is $8 (a little less if you're a Stampin Up Demonstrator). The description in the Catalog says "glitter pen for accenting stamped images”. It comes in both Clear and Gold. Here … [Read more...] about Work It Wednesday – Wink of Stella
l – o – v – e
I love rainy days, reading by the fire, and long walks on the beach (sounds like a personals ad, doesn’t it?). Actually, my husband would correct me on that last one. He knows I actually loath long walks (or even short walks) on the beach because of the whole sand thing and the fact that sand gets into everything (I still have sand in a pair of shoes from my last trip to Hawaii - five years ago!). I don’t mind a long walk on the sidewalk next to … [Read more...] about l – o – v – e
Black Christmas Part Two!
So I mentioned last week that I wasn't so fond the black Holiday paper when I first saw it in the Holiday Catalog. But that I did get it out to use it and was actually very pleased with the results for my card. (Yes, I realize that Christmas has come and gone and I'm sharing yet another Christmas project. But, I wanted to show that you can reuse your great ideas again and again.) We were invited to attend a Christmas party earlier this month … [Read more...] about Black Christmas Part Two!
