Friday

Hi everyone!  Well, it is the end of November and that means the holidays are upon us.  Eeek!  After being sick for a week I just feel like I am so far behind and can't believe that so much still needs to be done.

I wanted to share with you a few projects I made for a call that didn't get picked up....sigh.  I did have one...so now I have two pubs under my belt.  woo hoo, me!

These are both based on sketches from Northridge Publishing.  The first is the family sitting around the fire in the back yard when my dad and step mother were here.  Gorgeous Simple Stories papers with bits of Prima bling and Petaloo flowers.  I added a bit of machine stitching and of course lots of pop dots.

 And here my little (eh, eh) darlings on the beach in Hawaii.  They grow up so quickly.  Authentique Genuine papers with a few ZVA crystals, Prima flowers, and Webster's Pages trim.

Well, it is a cold, wet, rainy day here.  And Mackenzie is swimming at the Junior Olympics all weekend, so I best get moving.

Hugs.

And We're Back...

Hi everyone!  I hope you had a great weekend.  Mine, as usual, was crazy busy...this time, not with swim, but with decorating for the holidays.  It seems I may go a bit overboard around here with setting up 5 trees...but I so love them...and each has a theme and all.  And, believe it or not...even with 5 trees I still had ornaments that didn't make it onto the tree because there just wasn't room.  I promise to come back and show you pictures of them all.

Well, the flu is still somewhat lingering around here...what's a girl to do.  Overall though we are feeling much better and hope to catch up on goings on soon.

For today I wanted to share with you this layout I did of my three lovelies using some older Basic Grey paper and a sketch from My Creative Sketches.

 

Lots of grungy Distress Inks, Gorgeous Petaloo flowers and ZVA bling. 

Well, it is Monday so I guess I should get back to work.

Hugs.

Thursday - Cards

Hi everyone.  Sorry I am a bit late today, but it has been quite the busy day.  I don't know why it is I can't get motivated to blog early, but I just can't seem to get into it.  So, instead...here I am late.  Oh well.

Today I wanted to share a few cards I made recently.  I am not usually much of a card maker, but with some ZVA crystals they came together so quickly.

And of course, Ainsley with her new love of quilling had to get involved as well.

Well, that is it for today.

hugs.

Rainy Days and Sundays....

Hi everyone!  Well, it has been a crazy weekend so far, with my nieces birthday party yesterday and tons of rain it is busy, busy, busy.  Hoping to find some time today to play, but wanted to share a few things with you before hand.

My cute little niece playing with those silly paper mustaches again!  Love, love, love those bling pieces I picked up at my LSS from ZVA.  This was made using more of the Authentique Loyal paper I picked up there as well.

And over in The Sampler news....seems we have some extra products from this month's kit.  You can pop over to the blog, and leave a comment on this post, for a chance to win some!

In the news at Your Memories Here.....All the winter 2012 grab bags are sold out!  I sure hope you got yours.  Kristina is working now on getting some new things loaded into the store but is really busy getting ready for.....

Oh, how I wish I could go to Sweet Retreat. Airfare to Pittsburgh is just more than I have in my budget right now.  But it looks like it is going to be an amazing event.  (can't tell you how often I have checked airfare hoping for a miracle).  If you are in the area or in easy travelling distance, or have a bigger budget than mine......

This is your chance to work with some of Prima's top educators to make projects like this...

Imagine an entire weekend devoted to crafting with some of the latest and greatest Prima products.  Sigh...guess I am off to check airfare again.

OK, time to get started on my busy day.  Hope yours is great.

Hugs.
