Sunday is for resting and a little planning.

Are you resting today?  How is your day off going?  Mine is not going quite as planned but it’s okay.  My daughter worked today instead of yesterday so we still woke up early.  Of course it’s been a slower morning for the hubby and I.

So today I am cleaning a bit after Card Class this week.  I am getting the PDF’s up and ready to order.  And I am finishing up the 12th Anniversary Get Together for next Saturday night.

That should be enough, right?  What is on your list today?

Happy Crafting!

Farmers’ market, sales, and host codes!

If you go to the Farmers’ Market this morning make sure to bring your bag.  And inside your bag bring some canned goods for the 29 Palms Food Pantry.  Make sure to ask about the raffle also.  They are raffling off a $100 gift certificate each month to be used at the market with the vendors.  And remember, they close at noon!

There are plenty of sales happening right now!  There is the Designer Series Paper sale.

So many ways to give back.

There are so many ways to give back or pay it forward.  It’s really only limited by your imagination.  You can buy lunch for a friend, pay for someone else’s coffee, mail a card, share a smile…to name a few.

Just recently I found a new way.  By attending events that you are involved in.  Tell me what’s important to you.  Let me give an example…

So yesterday, a bunch of us are having fun gathered together to craft at Card Class.  We all started to talk about what’s going on.  Since it’s summer and very hot there’s not as much happening since everyone is trying not to melt.  We talked about the movies, what’s on Netflix, bowling, and some crafting conventions.  Then we started digging a little deeper and started talking about the kids, grand-kids, grand-dogs.

One of our very own’s kids is playing a significant role in a play for the summer youth theater.  The talk became what night to go, dinner before, and on.  In the end a bunch of us are going to this play to encourage and have some fun.

Here’s where the give back comes in.  (I know you were wondering.)  If you could see faces light up by not only Mom, but also the crafters that are going you would think we won the lottery.  Remember it’s often the small things that make a huge difference.  Create your ripple of impact so it collectively grows in to a wave.

Happy Crafting!

Want to go on a picnic?

This month’s Paper Pumpkin is picnic themed.  Have you gone on a picnic recently?  Do you pick up some fried chicken or do you make tamales?  What is your tradition?

For today’s picnic we are having paper.  I know it’s not the most appetizing but that’s what is on the menu.  I took the Apron of Love and the Basket Weave Embossing Folder and created this cherry pie in the sky card.  The basket and apple card are created from this month’s Paper Pumpkin kit.

No more kinks in your twine.

Have you ever unwound some of your twine to find all these kinks where it was folded?  What did you do to un-kink it?  Did you iron, soak, or lay out for days?  Here’s a tip for you.  Take a baby wipe and run the twine through it.  The moisture will take the kinks right out.

Sponging three different ways.

I figured since the Paper Pumpkin has a picnic theme this month I would continue that theme with the basket weaving embossing folder.  So today’s technique is how to color this basket weave with a sponge.  You can also spritz, dip, paint, or bleach it.  But, for now, we sponge.

The top color was done with a sponge using a streaking motion.  I pulled the color across the page.

The middle color was done with a dabbing motion.

The bottom color was done with a dabbing motion with a twist of the wrist.

Which is your favorite?

Mondays are a great start to the week!

I’ve heard many complain about Mondays being the start of the work week, the hangover from the weekend, or just simply muddling through.  I am choosing for today to be great!  I keep reading that attitude is everything.  Let’s test it!

So for this week…it’s CARD CLASS week!  If you have not already RSVP’ed today is the last day for Thursday’s session.  Wednesday is the last day for Saturdays’ sessions.  Let me know that you are coming!

I’m already working on the cards for August’s class…it’s going to be GREAT!

Next week on Thursday the 26th is the Encouragement Card Class.  Sandy Smith hosts and mails the cards to Girls Love Mail.  Come on out for dinner and a chance to create 5 cards.  Cost is $15.  It’s a good time.

The 28th has two events.  In the morning I will be at the Farmers’ Market from 8-noon.  Come out to see what’s new.  And in the afternoon will be the 12th Anniversary Party!  Come celebrate with me!

If you would like to order online please use host code J92PTFKA to help Jodi earn FREE products.  If you prefer to order in person this order will be submitted on Saturday night.

Happy Crafting!
