I've had my July Paper Pumpkin kit sitting around for two weeks and I finally opened the box yesterday. I kept holding off opening it because I nervous! I've been telling myself for weeks that I really need to start making videos. I figured a good way to ease myself into it was to film an "unboxing" video of the kit since I get a lot of questions about what the kit looks like when it arrives. If you want to see the unboxing video check out … [Read more...] about July Paper Pumpkin
Adulting and Magnolias
Last weekend was one in a million.. both kids were working or otherwise occupied and there was NO soccer. Instead of spending the entire weekend working in my studio, I knew I really needed to tackle some long-neglected tasks around the house. Ever have a clean laundry basket that just doesn’t seem to get put away for weeks? No? Hmm, must be just me. Well, I finally got it done. Plus I dealt with those two pesky counters where “stuff” just … [Read more...] about Adulting and Magnolias

June Paper Pumpkin Revisited
A few weeks ago I shared the June Paper Pumpkin kit made per the directions in the kit. You can see it here. Today, I'm sharing an alternate project idea for that same kit. This adorable shadowbox was made by one of my downline, Lyndi. I really try to share only my own projects here, but this was really too good not to share it with all of you. Lyndi did an amazing job on this shadowbox. Here are the dimensions for this project so you can … [Read more...] about June Paper Pumpkin Revisited
So Happy…
It's Friday! Every year Stampin Up releases more floral stamp sets. And every year I tell myself I probably don't need another floral stamp set. So what do I do? I buy the new floral stamp set of course! The new To A Wild Rose stamp set was designed by a Stampin Up Demonstrator that reached $1,000,000 in sales over her career. Designing a stamp set is one of the amazing perks they give you if you sell that much in products. Just in case … [Read more...] about So Happy…
I’ll Be Right Here
I've been back from Hawaii for two weeks now, but I still feel a bit like I'm on Hawaiian time. Not necessarily their time zone, but moving at the same pace. Hawaiians aren't in a hurry to get anywhere and they aren't in a hurry to get things done. Everything gets done in it's own time. I'm starting to think that's a great philosophy. No more pressure and stress. Since my mind is still at the beach, I dug out my Waterfront stamp set and created … [Read more...] about I’ll Be Right Here
Happy Monday!
Here's to a brand new week, full of possibilities. We're going to start this week off on a cheery note, with a beautiful bunch of flowers. I went a little overboard this weekend, stamping a bunch of daisies. Then I wondered how many I could fit on one card. It's seven, just in case you're wondering. I possibly could have fit one more, but then I wouldn't have had room for my "Friend". I used both the large and small daisy from the Daisy … [Read more...] about Happy Monday!
Rose Colored Daisies
Happy Friday! It has been one crazy week at work. My office had a major computer hardware failure last weekend and we were down for almost two full days. Then I spent the last three days trying to get five days worth of work done. Yikes! I am so glad it's Friday. I'm already ready for the weekend. I wanted to share another idea with the Daisy Lane Bundle. These daisies are so pretty and by stacking several of them they make a pretty bunch of … [Read more...] about Rose Colored Daisies
