Happy Friday! I am looking forward to a lowkey weekend… packing up boxes… lots and lots and lots of boxes. My plumbing saga continues. I now have running water in the kitchen once more. Hooray! I should clarify that the running water is running exactly where it’s supposed to and not all over my floor. But I also have lots and lots of missing drywall and flooring. So now we begin the restoration process, which means the entire first floor of my … [Read more...] about January Paper Pumpkin
Valentine’s Day is Coming
February is the shortest month of the year and it always seems to rocket by at lightening speed. We are now NINE days from Valentine's Day. Yikes! Have you started your treats? Made your cards? Purchased your gifts? If not, I have the perfect solution for you today... a Valentine Treat Holder. And this treat holder will actually fit a gift card, some candy, and an itty-bitty note card. I decorate this pouch just like I decorate … [Read more...] about Valentine’s Day is Coming
He’s Twenty!
I'm not sure how it happened, but this guy turned TWENTY yesterday. Say what?!? It seems like this was just a few months ago... But it wasn't. Some days I ask myself, where does the time go? We're so busy living our lives everyday that in the blink of an eye, my sweet little kid has grown up. Evan, I am so blessed to have you in my life. You're an amazing young man and I am so proud of you every day. Keep reaching for the stars! … [Read more...] about He’s Twenty!
A Second Round of Customer Thank You’s…
I love making thank you cards for my customers every month and sending them out to my customers. I am grateful every single time that they chose me as their Stampin Up Demonstrator. In December, I had a couple customers that placed more than one order. Rather than sending them two of the same card, I made a slightly different card and those that made two purchases received one of each card. For the background on this card, I stamped the … [Read more...] about A Second Round of Customer Thank You’s…
December Customer Thank You’s
I'm a little later than I like to be sending out my Customer Thank You cards, but with my plumbing adventure and a family matter, it is what it is. For the month of December, those customers that spent at least $50 received a thank you gift from me in addition to their card. I have a box of retired embellishments and ribbon that I hadn't used yet, so they were sent an item out of the box. My thank you card uses the Painted Poppies Suite … [Read more...] about December Customer Thank You’s
Stuck On Poppies
Last week, I started playing with all the different stuff in the Painted Poppies Suite and I just couldn't stop myself. I have tons of ideas to share using these products. I'm starting with a quick and easy card for you today. This card makes great use of the fabulous pattern paper in the pack. I used the sheet that has a row of flowers across the bottom and the top of the sheet. This sheet is meant to be cut into sections like this to cover … [Read more...] about Stuck On Poppies
