Seriously, my studio is in need of a major cleaning. I'm knee deep in gift card holders the last couple days. I'm making a ton for the upcoming Holiday Boutique that my Downline and I will be at. Just check out this stack. I've got to get these assembled asap so I can move on to more projects. These gift cards turned out so cute! I did use our retired stamp set Perfect Blend. This is one stamp set that I will never part with. I can't tell … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Gift Card Holders
Christmas & Holiday Cards
Merry Pup-mas
My assistant, Frannie, loves to help me out in the office. She's really good on the computer and does most of my proofreading. Here she is making sure I have all my Wordpress updates installed. But if I don't keep her busy, she'll sneak off for a nap. After reviewing my last post, she asked me why there weren't any pups in the Holiday Catalog. I explained to her that I was sure it was an oversight and we could figure something out … [Read more...] about Merry Pup-mas
Holly Berry Happiness
This year, for the first time ever, my Downline Group has organized a booth at a Holiday Boutique. It's something that I have thought about doing for years, but hadn't taken the leap yet. Boutiques can be intimidating. There is a ton of organization and prep work that goes into them. We have been so lucky that Lyndi was willing to take on all the paperwork and getting us all organized. Our Boutique is still a couple weeks away (thank … [Read more...] about Holly Berry Happiness
Five Minute Friday – Cookie Cutter Christmas
School has been back in session almost two weeks and I'm quickly reminded of how crazy the Fall Season gets with all the homework and all the soccer. All. The. Soccer. Both kids play on the High School team and they both play on other teams as well (Club and AYSO). In addition, my husband and son are coaching a third team as well this year. If you ever need to locate me, it's guaranteed that I'll be on a soccer field somewhere in Southern … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Cookie Cutter Christmas
Cell phones and Holly Berries
Have you ever received your cell phone bill and really looked at all the charges closely? Or do you just send them money and be thankful that you have the convenience of a mini computer in your hand everywhere you go? Usually, this is me. Except when the bill comes and it's quite a bit different from what it usually is. Our cell phone bill last month was about $85 higher than usual. I hate when this happens because I can't in good conscious … [Read more...] about Cell phones and Holly Berries

Five Minute Friday – Holiday Candy Bar Wrappers
So many decisions! Now that the Holiday Catalog is out, I just can't make up my mind. Do I work on Halloween goodies? Or Christmas Goodies? Well, lucky you, because I have one of each today and both are candy bar wrappers. So a few nights ago, I decide I'm going to make up several of these to get ready for today's post. I send the kids to the store with $15 cash. I asked them to get me one regular size Hershey bar and the two notebooks they … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Holiday Candy Bar Wrappers
Candy Cane Lane
Starting tomorrow, YOU can order goodies from the Holiday Mini Catalog. And believe me, there are soooo many good things in there. As a Demonstrator, I was able to place my pre-order on 8/2, which I did. Would you believe it took me all month to break out this beautiful Candy Cane Lane pack of paper? After flipping through it last night, I'm kicking myself for not opening it soon. It is seriously so cute. I love sheet with the itty bitty … [Read more...] about Candy Cane Lane
