It’s Technique Tuesday! Don’t forget that our ink works on tile, glass, fabric, and more. In this case Early Espresso was used to stamp the deer on a tumbled travertine tile that was not glazed. After it was clear-coated it was allowed to dry for about an hour.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Sabbath Sunday and today is a little different than most Sundays. Since Christmas is right around the corner today is a catch up, clean up kind of day for me. Last night was the Open House so I will be cleaning a bit and then taking some inventory. It’s time to clean out the Christmas craft fair inventory and begin for spring and Valentine’s Day. I will put some work in today so I don’t have to tomorrow or Tuesday.
What are you up to today?
Happy Crafting!

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward. I am finding that everything has a silver lining if you look hard enough. Since we are in the holiday season I will use the term being a grinch. It’s a choice. I can choose to be grateful that I have dishes to wash or I can look at the mess. (When things are super busy sometimes I am glad I chose paper plates.) All of life is about choices. So I will ask you are you choosing to be a grinch or grateful?
Happy Crafting!

It’s Tutorial Thursday! While I am giving you instructions for this gorgeous card…remember this…I ran out of paper. Have you ever been in the middle of a project and been short? The thoughts go swimming through your head…”I thought I counted right”…”did the dog eat something”…”who used my good card stock to collage their notebook, again”. Sometimes it’s just simply that we miscounted.
But you still have to get that project done. Those Christmas cards are still waiting to be sealed. And now you are short. Well…here’s your solution…make panels. It doesn’t take as much card stock and you can use scraps instead of whole sheets. Now, before I get to the instructions, go make yourself a cup of tea and breathe. All the cards will go out.
Now that you are sitting a little more easy, let’s do this. First the picture and then the instructions.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! I figured some of you might be trying to frantically finish your Christmas cards. And I thought this might come in handy.
I know it’s not the typical Wacky Wednesday, but I thought it could be useful.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Technique Tuesday! Just a quick tip to remind you that there is a front and a back side to embossing folders. Where the sizzix or stampin’ up! label is on the embossing folder is considered the front side. The front side when embossed becomes raised. The blank side of the folder is the back or where the pattern is recessed. There is a time and a place for both raised and recessed.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Management Monday! There’s still plenty going on through Saturday and then I will slow down until New Year’s.Â
On Saturday I will be at the Farmers’ Market in 29 Palms. Come get your last minute stocking stuffers and vouchers for the new year. I will also have the new catalogs available.
Come on out on Saturday, December 22 from 4-7 to pick up your new Occasions Catalog and Sale-A-Bration brochure! There will be snacks, a FREE project, and of course the new catalogs. Please remember no kids, no hubbies, and no mess to clean up. RSVP by Thursday, December 20 so I have a project prepared for you. See you Saturday!Â
If you would like to order please use host code DWKV37QG by tonight at 9 pm. This will help me to re-stock the rewards basket. If you prefer to order in person please contact me.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Sabbath Sunday! Today is my day to plan and go at a slightly slower pace. Sometimes planning means cleaning out. I was going through the freezer this morning and found some spaghetti sauce that needs to be used. It looks like today is the day to cook some rigatoni with sauce, roasted garlic, and parmesan for supper. I would encourage you to clean out, prepare, and plan every so often also. This, at least for me, allows for a little bit of calm in a pretty chaotic household.
Happy Crafting!
