It’s another fabulous Friday around here. We’ve got a busy weekend planned with a soccer tournament and hubby is home for the weekend. Gotta tell you...this living apart is hard. Hopefully, it won't be much more than a year or two. Last night was our Monthly Downline meeting. I know I say this every time, but I love getting together with these ladies. We may have started as Uplines and Downlines, but we are so much more than that. I love … [Read more...] about Peace On Earth

Last Week for Year-End Closeouts
I hope everyone had a lovely Holiday weekend spent with loved ones. We had a wonderful time and were were fortunate to squeeze in time with both sides of the family.

Thanks To You
One year ago, I decided to make the serious commitment to Blog on a regular, consistent basis. I knew I wanted a place to share my creations and hopefully inspire you to make something.

Not enough hours in the day
Do you suffer from this too? The to-do list never quite gets totally done. I think if I had four more hours each day, I could get so many more things checked off my list. That full-time job really cuts into my crafting time. This is going to be a crazy busy week around here. I have three different Holiday events this week here at my house. I know... what was I thinking? I still have quite a bit of prep that I need to get done for the … [Read more...] about Not enough hours in the day
More Sneak Peaks…
Today I have a couple more sneak peaks of the upcoming Party Animal Suite in the new Occasions Catalog that begins January 4th. Both of today's cards use the Balloon Adventures stamp set and Party Animal pattern paper. For my first card, I wanted a bold watercolor background. Using a sponge, I inked our Watercolor Wash background stamp in Crushed Curry on one side and Pacific Point on the far side. Then I used Emerald Envy in the middle … [Read more...] about More Sneak Peaks…

Five Minute Friday – Clear Tiny Treat Boxes
Oh my goodness! It's been a while since I've been able to share a Five Minute Friday. I've had so many good things lately, that it's been a toss-up to see what gets shared first.
