It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.
When you’ve had a rough week, month, year, whatever your true friends know what to do. They will often sit with you or give you some space. I am lucky to have one of these kinds of friends.
It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended!
Today I want to talk to you about how a Sponge Dauber can become a mixer.
Tonight I will be showing you how to pearlize your paper and puff out a pumpkin. When pearlizing your paper I used the Sponge Dauber to mix the White Pearlized Enamel Effects with the Mossy Meadow Ink Refill. I just used waxed paper so I didn’t have to wash the Silicone Mat at the end.
It’s Technique Tuesday! Today I want to share with you that light means more than just the sun. With the Rays of Light Stamp Set I immediately went to sunlight or sunrays. But it could also be any source of light. Or it could be no light but simply a colorful background.
So here is this card in the traditional sense (sunlight).
And here it is with a source of light, a lighthouse.
It’s Management Monday! Here’s what’s happening this week and maybe a bit beyond.

Host Availability
Are you missing in-person classes? Well, now you can choose everything. When you choose to be a host you get to pick exactly what you want: your location, your food, your projects, and your free products. These are the only two weekends I have available but I do have weekdays open.
So let me know where I am going and when. I look forward to what ideas you have to share with me!
It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest so you can be recharged for the week.
Normally I would tell you what I am doing to rest, but today is not about me. It’s about my daughter.
Tara, my daughter, just finished a summer of touring the nation with a drum corp. (For those of us not in music (like me), this means she was on a bus for almost 3 months performing a show at stadiums all over the country.) She developed some knee and shoulder problems after being on her feet 10 hours a day for about a month straight. But there was no rest in sight unless she dropped out.
Instead she figured out what to do to make it through. Lots of ice, a knee brace, and lots of prayers. And now she is able to rest. She is not on her feet 10 hours a day any more dancing, playing, loading, etc. Just the normal for work, school, and living. And now that she finished to the amazement of the staff and many of her friends, she gets rewarded. Not only does she know that she finished but the staff have recognized her as well. Well done in not only finishing, but finishing well.
What have you persevered through and got rewarded for?
There are so many deals right now! Here’s just two to highlight.

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.
I know I have mentioned it before…to donate to your local food pantry. And I think of buying cereal, canned vegetables, peanut butter, and whatever else that is not refrigerated off the grocery store shelves. But have you thought about donating bags as well. I never think to ask about bags or small boxes. In California bags come at a cost now. So remember not only the food but also the container.
