Do you ever do this? See something and think “I’ll pass on that set, don’t need another one of those”? Then you start to notice all sorts of things being made with it. And they are so pretty! And then you start to waffle on whether or not you might need that set. When the Occasions Catalog came out last January, the Grateful Bunch stamp set was one that I totally bypassed. It was okay, but I didn’t really need another flower stamp set. It did … [Read more...] about More flowers please!

Shaker Cards
Have you noticed that shaker cards are really popular lately? There's just something totally cool about seeing all those little sparkly sequins moving around inside the card. There are two ways to make a shaker. You can add it to the front of the card so it's sitting on top. Or, you can add it to the side of the card. This card has the shaker on the inside and all the mechanics for the shaker are completely hidden. Even though this looks … [Read more...] about Shaker Cards

Graduation Season
Graduation Season has arrived. Although where you are it may have already come and gone. But here in Southern California, we start late and end late. We still have three more weeks of school, but it's not too early to start working on some ideas. This June our daughter graduates from 8th grade/Middle School. Next year, she'll be in High School. It's kinda funny, but her Middle School is the only school in our area that does not have a formal … [Read more...] about Graduation Season
Moroccan Nights
Only 6 more days until the new Catalog starts and I am so excited! Stampin Up has come up with some seriously cute stuff in the new Catalog and I can't wait to get it. All of it! Ok, maybe not quite all of it, but I'm definitely ordering the cupcake stamp set that I showed on Monday and the new Foxy Friends with coordinating punch too. Who am I kidding? Every time I open the new catalog, I add something new to my wish list. Today's stamp set … [Read more...] about Moroccan Nights
Grateful for Friends
Last Sunday I attended my very first MeetUp. Have you heard of these? If you look them up online, MeetUps are groups of people that share a common interest and get together to partake in that activity. There’s all sorts of MeetUp groups – hiking, biking, crafting, and lots more. It’s such an awesome way to meet people who share a common interest. This past Sunday’s Meet Up was for a group of people that decorate their planners. I know you’re … [Read more...] about Grateful for Friends
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
Five Minute Fri-yay!
This past Wednesday night, we had our monthly Downline Meeting. I love getting together with these ladies every month. We have the best time together! This was a fun meeting! We shared all the information that we got at OnStage in Salt Lake City and showed off some new goodies as well. If you attended OnStage, you were able to order some new products that won't be available until 6/1 to customers or 5/3 to other demonstrators. This was one of the … [Read more...] about Five Minute Fri-yay!
