Today’s post is a hard one to write. I thought we were through the worst of things for awhile, but God has different plans. Our sweet Merry has been going through it. In the last two years she has lost her husband and one of her two daughters to cancer. Just this week she lostContinue reading “Fridays are giving back…sometimes to our own.”

Every mistake is just a creative opportunity…
There is no mistake in crafting. There is an opportunity to make something new and different when the project does not go as planned. So, earlier this week, I had sat down to create. Everything was going as planned until I cut the ribbon too short. It may not look like it is too shortContinue reading “Every mistake is just a creative opportunity…”
Sometimes backwards is the right way.
I was the kid that walked to school backwards just because I could. And my Mom was saying the whole time “please turn around so you don’t trip and fall”. Well, that was the first time. By the end of the treck she was telling me somewhat forcefully to “walk right”. Well, I didn’t die,Continue reading “Sometimes backwards is the right way.”
An oldie with a twist!
Sometimes it’s good to go back to the basics and then put a tiny bit of a twist on it. Today’s tutorial comes from SplitCoastStampers. We have all done the shaving cream backgrounds, but have you done them with a stencil or die cut. So, here’s something to try… http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/shavingcreamstenciling/ If you would like toContinue reading “An oldie with a twist!”

Sundays are for sleeping?
Sometimes your body says “sleep, please”. After days of preparation and cutting for yesterday’s class I think it caught up to me. My body said no more. So, I’m in my pajamas writing this and enjoying the slow morning. Are you having a restful day? Comment below with what you are doing today (either wordsContinue reading “Sundays are for sleeping?”
Bingo, promotions, and more!
As I sit to type this the smell of taco meat is permeating the walls. I am getting ready for the first Christmas Stamp-A-Stack of the season. There will be two this year, today’s and another on October 28th. We had three last year and a few crafters said that was too much. So, twoContinue reading “Bingo, promotions, and more!”
Cards matter…
I recently came across a post from one of my friends that has a daughter that has some challenges, but loves cards. Her birthday is coming up and I am mailing out some cards for her. I am wondering if for this give back Friday if you would do the same. The information is below.Continue reading “Cards matter…”
Ballpoint pen embossing
You heard me correct. Don’t go clean your glasses. I said embossing with a ballpoint pen. There is enough “juice” in a ballpoint pen to spread the embossing powder quickly and then use the heat gun. So, for some that want our sayings to be different, you can do it now. You just have toContinue reading “Ballpoint pen embossing”
Cling wrap for the craft room?
I bet you are wondering if I have lost it completely. Well, I have another tip for you from the kitchen. Take that cling wrap and cover your shirt to not get paint, ink, food, whatever. When you are done just peel right off. This might just save you enough time to actually drink thatContinue reading “Cling wrap for the craft room?”
