I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend. We enjoyed time with family and friends this weekend. All the Thanksgiving decorations have been packed away for another year. Our house is now decorated for the Holidays, the lights are up, and we made it as far as putting lights on the Christmas tree. Ornaments will go up in the next couple days as I continue working on custom Christmas card orders. Do you want beautiful handmade … [Read more...] about Cyber Monday is Here!

A Gift Card Holder
Another turkey has come and gone. Well, not quite all of it. Today we're having turkey sandwiches for lunch. Then dinner will be turkey pot pie. And I'm sure tomorrow will bring more turkey. Anyway, on to something not turkey related. Today's project is a gift cardholder from this scrapbook retreat I worked a couple weeks back. This was my second make and take that I offered and it was really popular. Here is the … [Read more...] about A Gift Card Holder
20 Years
Today is a very special day for our family. Today is our 20th Wedding Anniversary. Oh. My. Goodness. 20 years! I can't believe so much time has passed and at the same time it feels like we've known each other forever. I remember our wedding day like it was just a couple years ago. But every time I look in the mirror and find another gray hair natural highlight, I realize that far more time has passed. It's been an amazing 20 … [Read more...] about 20 Years

Merry Mice and Stitched Dies
Oh my, oh my! Those Stitched Dies! Let me be the first to ask you, why haven't you bought these yet? They add that little bit of je ne sais quois (thank you high school French). Seriously, now I want to go back and remake every card from the last couple months using these dies. Ok maybe not every card. Check out these two cards. This first card does not use the Stitched Dies. No doubt about it, it's definitely cute. But this one is with the … [Read more...] about Merry Mice and Stitched Dies
Five Minute Friday
Happy Five Minute Friday! I’ve sure missed posting these the last couple weeks and I have a great one for you today! This project will be one of my Make & Takes at the Just Crop Retreats tomorrow.

So Thankful
I made it back from OnStage yesterday. I always feel like I need a vacation once our vacation is over. We end up staying up way too late and we always have to get up early to get going in the morning. I might have to get a tshirt that says: I survived! I promise I will share some photos from our OnStage experience very soon. And I can’t share my projects that I made for the displays for a few more days. Don’t worry, I have lots of other … [Read more...] about So Thankful
One Last Halloween Hurrah
Happy Halloween! Today I'm sharing my final Halloween project for the year. This is a quick and simple card you can make for your favorite little monster. This pumpkin is from the Jar of Haunts stamp set. After I stamped my pumpkin, I used my aqua painter to add a little Smoky Slate to make a "ground" for the pumpkin to sit on. It's a little hard to see, but there is a mini tassel tied onto the Halloween Bakers Twine.Sorry today's post is so … [Read more...] about One Last Halloween Hurrah
