At Christmas time I usually take a little something to a few of our neighbors. For some years now it’s actually been the same thing every year but packaged in a different way. I make them an Almond Chicken Cheese Ball and include a sleeve of crackers. I like to drop them off in the […]
Have you played with the new All Dressed Up Framelits from Stampin’ Up!? I wasn’t sure that I wanted these (I have all boys so I don’t do much girly stuff) but once I started to play with them – well it was really hard to resist having fun! This week at Create with Connie & […]
Did you see the new Party Favor Boxes in the Stampin’ Up! Summer Mini catalog? They are are cute little die cut take-out boxes and each one has a coordinating belly band. They coordinate with the Island Oasis Designer Series Paper. We made this one at our Weekend at Wendy’s. On the top is a […]

Occasions Mini and Sale-a-Bration brochure include – Something Sweet, Fox & Friends, and Picnic Parade stamp sets, and the Build-A-Bear collection. I chose […]

I think its been well over a year since we decided to turn the old office in our house into a Stamping Classroom. It’s a slow process when you do it yourself and your husband has a full time job, wants to play golf every weekend, and decides to redo the basement and get a […]
He’s here. The third card for my “Reclaimed Wood” collection. I have more ideas to work on but this is the third one – a Snowman. The other two – the scarecrow and Frankenstein I’ve already shared. This one I actually created two versions – one I used for my Christmas Card Stamp-a-stack that I […]
It’s that time of year where we anxiously await to see the new Stampin’ Up! Catalog. Demonstrators got a sneak peek of it last week and yesterday we were able to place an order that includes our copy. So they are on their way to demonstrator hands all over the world! And mine is on […]
Happy New Year!! I ended up taking a long break from my blog and spent time with family. I was so lucky that I got to spend time with them. All my boys were home (and actually still here – Kyle leaves Wednesday and Ryan on Sunday). We visited with my parents, my brother and […]
