I suddenly realized that I hadn’t shared with you all the latest promotion from Stampin’ Up! I don’t know about you, but I am always one for a deal and so I had to be sure you all knew about the latest deal from SU. From now until April 30th, every $40 you spend from…
What a weekend! The usually cold and rainy Pacific Northwest turned beautiful and sunny for the weekend. It got up to almost 80 today, which was just nuts! I was at a craft fair all weekend so I mainly got to see the sunny weather from afar but thankfully it stuck around though the evening…
I told you that the card I posted earlier in the week was only first of many to come. 🙂 Last Thursday, my co-worker had her last day at work before spending the next week or two preparing for the birth of her baby girl. I couldn’t let her leave without making her a card. …
Last winter, I set up a table at my first ever craft and vendor fair. It was a holiday fair and I spent a lot of time preparing craft items I thought would be great for the holidays. Unfortunately, somewhere between the bad weather and the slightly hidden location, attendance was low and so it…
One of the wonderful ladies in my stamping group decided to organize a secret sister group. When you signed up for this group, you agreed to send your secret sister a handstamped item plus anything additional you want to send. We were supposed to send out our first gift by the end of March…
Wow time has flown and its already April! But that means it’s time for the new Occasions mini catalog to come out – and boy is this a good one. There are lots of cool new items in this mini. There are tons of new stamps, a new awesome scallop oval punch, a new matchbox…
As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been slowly trying to get my crafting supplies, partial projects, and completed projects organized so I can actually find what I’m looking for in less than 20 minutes. 🙂 Well, when my mom was visiting last month, she brought with her the instructions for a great project. Using the Forget-me-not…
So, I’m realizing that I’m now of the age that wedding seasons are winding down and its baby time for many of my friends. Over the last month or two, I’ve learned that at least 5 friends are pregnant with most of their due dates being later this summer and fall. I’m so excited for…
What a whirlwind spring! There have been tons of family visits, stamping events, and work deadlines. That has kept me away from my computer as much as normal but also means I have a backlog of great things to show you! First up, I thought I would share some of the projects we did…
Late last week, my mom came up for a visit (a week after my MIL was here for a week visiting!) She was in town to join me at the Creating Keepsakes big scrapbooking convention in Portland this last weekend. The convention was an absolute blast and we stayed up waay to late Saturday night…
ahhh… it feels good to back at the blog. I just getting over a yucky cold and just in time because my technique night was last night. We were playing with pastel chalks and between my cold and my half-cleaned craft room, I got a bit of a late start preparing for it. However, I’m…
Ever have one of those projects that keep you obsessed until you get it done? My craft room is one of those projects. After two weeks of being super busy (out of town on a business trip and my MIL visiting), the house is finally quiet again. While my MIL was here, she helped…
