Listening is Key

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.

I don’t know how many times I have had a conversation with someone and afterwards I can’t remember much of what we have talked about. And I know other people that you mention something once and they remember it for eternity. My daughter is one of those that remembers for eternity.

We were having a conversation and I was talking about those paper flowers with vases that I keep seeing on TV. I was mentioning how I’d love to figure them out. I said that I took a screenshot of the ad but couldn’t seem to figure it out. Well, guess what I got for a belated Mother’s Day. Yes…paper flowers.

So now I have to figure it out.

Happy Crafting!

Brushes are to Add and to Take Away

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended!

Did you know that the brush from the Embossing Additions Tool Kit can help add or take away? It can help to place embossing powder where you want it or to brush it away.

Happy Crafting!

How Gems are Made

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today I thought I’d show you the inner workings of the 2023-2025 In Color Dots.

Personally I thought the Dots were dyed to be that certain color. But instead I found out that the color is a thin piece of a shimmery paper.

So when you put them together you get this.

Makes me wonder how other products are constructed now.

Happy Crafting!

Rest is Productive

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest so you can be recharged for the week.

Often I have heard rest only happen when it is absolutely necessary, and often, frankly, too late. Please don’t wait to rest. Block time to rest so you can be recharged especially with those you love.

Happy Crafting!

Being Present

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.

As I looked online to get new ideas for giving back I was a little appalled at what I saw. When you google giving back you will see pages and pages of non-profit organizations asking for money. I don’t feel that giving back is always about money.

Giving back should be about being present. You should be fully in the moment and have positive energy to bring in to help. Now sometimes that involves monetary donations, but not always. I wish we could get away from tying someone’s value to their bank account.

Some of the most precious memories to me were of my grandparents. They didn’t spend a ton of money on me but they spent time. They taught me how to cook, how to maintain a pool, how to…and the list goes on. Many of the skills I learned from them I still use today.

So if you don’t have a ton of money but you do have knowledge to pass down please do.

Happy Crafting!
