Tomorrow I'll be working at the Just Crop Retreat doing Make & Takes and selling Stampin Up goodies. I always look forward to these retreats and seeing all the ladies there. There is nothing better than getting together with friends who like to craft. Today's post is going to be quick, just like my Five Minute Friday card. I'm using mostly the products from the Eastern Palace Premier Bundle. Oh my goodness, I love these dies! Just … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Eastern Palace
Eastern Palace Suite
Today I have a sneak peak of a new Suite of Products that will be released in the new Annual Catalog, which starts in just two weeks. Usually, I wouldn't share something this early that you can't buy yet. But, this Suite of products is actually available for you to purchase now. And wow! This Suite is an amazing bundle of goodies. The Eastern Palace Bundle is available in two different size Kits: Starter and Premier. These two … [Read more...] about Eastern Palace Suite
Crafting Forever! Housework Whenever.
If you're a crafter, you're going to love the brand new Crafting Forever stamp set that will be available June 1st. This is one of the stamp sets that I received at OnStage last month and it speaks to my heart. I completely agree that Crafting is forever and housework should be whenever. I would much rather spend my time making something for someone rather than cleaning toilets. Okay, bad example. That's probably everyone's least favorite … [Read more...] about Crafting Forever! Housework Whenever.
Five Minute Friday – Mom Style
First, let me state for the record, that Mom is worth way more than five minutes of your time. Just think of all the things she does for you. It would take you more than five minutes just to list every single thing she's done for you your entire life. All those meals she cooked, rides she gave you, waiting for you at endless soccer practices, driving all over Southern California to get you to that soccer game. And the list goes … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Mom Style
Sara’s Kit
First, I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to read Monday's post. If I can't share something crafty with you, the least I can do is share cute puppy pics, right? Frannie is such a willing assistant too. And I'd like to apologize for the technical snafu. Everything appears to be fixed now thanks to my amazing webmaster. Yay! I could tell you what happened but it's long and complicated and probably boring. Time to move on to the … [Read more...] about Sara’s Kit
Not My Circus, Not My Monkeys…
"Houston we have a problem." "I've got a bad feeling about this." "You're going to need a bigger boat." "Hold on, this is going to be bad." "Iceberg, right ahead." Well guess what? Today it is my circus, and those are my monkeys. Today's blog post is suffering from a "host" of issues, pun intended, which I have been unable to correct myself. I had to call in the big guns for some help. And being that it's actually … [Read more...] about Not My Circus, Not My Monkeys…
Five Minute Friday – National Scrapbook Day
Tomorrow is National Scrapbook Day! I think it's kind of cool that one of my favorite hobbies has an actual "Day". Long before our hectic soccer schedule, I used to go to National Scrapbook Day events at local stores. I'd get to spend the entire day indulging in my hobby. For the last several years, I'm lucky if I have time to make just one page on NSD in between games. Now, with the pocket-style scrapbooking method, I can get … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – National Scrapbook Day
Take Note
Some of you know that I have a day job in addition to my Stampin Up business. It is glamorous and exciting, and leaves me little time for stamping. Okay, it's not glamorous. Actually, it's not even really exciting. But it pays the bills. And keeps me out of trouble. Why am I telling you this? Well, it leads to today's project. My Company recently moved our office. We didn't move far, just one floor down. But, with the brand new … [Read more...] about Take Note
