As I was cleaning off my desk, I came across one little leftover dinosaur. He says his invite to the party got lost in the mail. However, the postal truck with a bite taken out of it and the piles of mail scattered on the ground tell a different story. Regardless, he was left behind. Darn. So, he's missed out on all the fun this week. And he's a little embarrassed that he missed out on the drab-to-fab makeover too so he's hiding in the … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – The One That Was Left Behind

Dino-mite!
Last week on Instagram, I shared my little herd of albino T-Rexs that I’d been working on.And then my little herd sat on my desk for another week until I had a chance to figure out what I wanted to do with them. The more I looked at them all lined up on my desk, I thought it looked like they were all running off to something. But what? Then I decided that maybe I should color in a few of them and not leave all of them white. So, I started … [Read more...] about Dino-mite!
A Little Wild
One of the cutest little stamp sets in the new Annual Catalog is called A Little Wild. This trio of little animals includes both their fronts and their backs. The stamp set has a coordinating die set so no need to get out those scissors. If you've seen the set in the catalog, you might have noticed the animal fronts and backs are on the same stamp together. When you use the dies with these little guys, you are actually making a little gift … [Read more...] about A Little Wild

I’m Wild About You
I love the adorable images in the Pieces & Patterns Stamp set and the Pick A Pattern paper. The critters are so cute. I can't decide which are cuter - the dinosaurs or the woodland creatures. But I do know I absolutely love the little moose in the pattern paper. Those antlers! The Pick a Pattern paper with the cartoony animals is one of my favorites from the new Annual Catalog. It looks like the woodland animals are all standing around … [Read more...] about I’m Wild About You
I don’t think it’s supposed to look like that…
But I could be wrong. Check out the curve on that Cutting Plate. It's so bent out of shape, I could probably eat soup off of it. Don't worry, I can fix this. I'll just flip it over and run it through upside down a bunch of times and it will eventually start to flatten out a bit. Will it ever flatten out completely? Nope, but that's okay because it still works.My cutting plates and Big Shot get a ton of use. I use it at least 5-6 times a week. … [Read more...] about I don’t think it’s supposed to look like that…
Floral Statements
Monday already? How can it be the start of another work week again? Wasn't it just Friday yesterday? Yep, this is me every week. Well, this weekend just flew by. It was full of activities and trying to get stuff done. I even managed to squeeze in a bit of crafting time with friends too. At one of our past Downline meetings, one of the ladies asked we could start card challenges in our group. We do a monthly card swap, but this would … [Read more...] about Floral Statements
Got Caffeine?
If not, I know where you can get some! Coffee is my friend... my best friend. Coffee is my life. Okay, not really. But no day goes by without a cup of that hot, rich deliciousness. Those of you that drink coffee know exactly what I'm talking about. The only thing getting you out of bed every morning is knowing that coffee is in your very near future. We used to have a programmable coffee maker so I would wake up to the smell of fresh brewed … [Read more...] about Got Caffeine?
