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
Retirement List
You’re Lovely
Yes, you really are! But only for a limited time! Okay, not really. You're lovely all the time! But this You're So Lovely stamp set is retiring at the end of the month. Do you have yours yet? If not, better get it ordered right away. Only a couple items on this card will be continued after June 1st: the gold ribbon, gold doilies, white card stock, green ink, and the pearls. Everything else is going. The white doilies are quite a bit … [Read more...] about You’re Lovely
Five Minute Friday
Did you know there’s only little more than two weeks left of May? Yikes! Where does the time go? The end of the school year is always really busy for us: wrapping up our soccer and track seasons, end of year school activities, team award banquets for both school and extracurricular teams, awards nights for schools, and the list goes on. Sometimes, the only way I can get cards made is if I don't set my sights too high. Geeze, that sounds bad. What … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday
Have you checked out the Retirement List Lately?
Things are selling out already! Did you notice that some of these goodies are on sale too? Don't wait or you will miss out on some awesome deals!

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
Mother’s Day is THIS Weekend!
Mother’s Day is this Sunday. Can you believe it? It’s not too late to send your mother a Mother’s Day Card. And if you’re hand-delivering it, you still have plenty of time! Today I'm sharing an adorable gift wrap idea to hold your mom's present. This little purse was made by Poli and it was her swap for our April Downline Meeting. I love the great use of washi tape as purse straps. Washi tape is so inexpensive and we all have tons of it in our … [Read more...] about Mother’s Day is THIS Weekend!
I’m going to miss you!
Stampin Up does this to me every year. You think I'd learn by now. Every year they retire In Colors that I have fallen in love with. And now there's only one more month to get the 2014-16 In Colors. I'm really going to miss this group of colors. I'm not sure which I'm going to miss more: Hello Honey or Blackberry Bliss. Or Mellow Moss. Or Lost Lagoon. Or Tangelo Twist. And to top it off, we're losing some really cool stamp sets and accessories … [Read more...] about I’m going to miss you!
Hello and Goodbye!
For the next couple weeks, I'll be sharing some of my favorite products that are retiring along with something brand new! This week is the Watercolor Thank You stamp set and Sketched Dots Bags. I'm seriously going to miss both of those items. I had several packages of the Bags and now I'm just about out. I love how they are the perfect size for a couple treats or something slightly larger than your standard "fun size" chocolates. I filled … [Read more...] about Hello and Goodbye!
