Sale items

I totally forgot to post the sale item for the month. For the month of April all glasses and mugs will be 50% off.


Look for these items in our gift shop part of the store. Just think, Mother's day and Father's day are coming up. Wouldn't mom love the tall mugs that have hearts on them?! And dad would love a nice tall glass for his beverage of choice. Stock up now while you can take advantage of the savings.

P.S. - A couple of you have emailed and asked for directions on how I made my waterfall book. I'll feature the step-by-step directions for Work It Wednesday tomorrow (I haven't done a Work It Wednesday for forever - it will be good to get back into the routine.)

Look what I did... updated

Edited, as promised, with photos at the end of this post


For information purposes you should know this is, umm maybe 'was' is a better term, my kitchen table. In fact after I pulled an all-nighter last night (went to bed at 5am and back up at 6:30am) this was the conversation I had with my husband as he was looking for a place to sit to eat his breakfast. All you kitchen table scrappers just might relate.

Me: "Sorry for the big mess in the kitchen."

Hubby: "I hadn't noticed."

Me: "You didn't notice the mess?!!!"

Hubby: "No! I hadn't notice that we had a kitchen!"

Despite the mess, and I'm only showing you about a 1/4 of it, the creative process was wonderful. I didn't not re-create the scrapbooking wheel, in fact, I borrowed from past ideas. But I love what I did, and now have two new mini-albums to share with you. BUT... you'll have to wait because I'm late for work!

Do you think I should tell my boss that I got 1.5 hours of sleep - nah! He doesn't need to know.
Have a good day!
Amy

p.s. check back this afternoon, that's when I'll show my creations.

Edited:
Both of these albums I made based off of past projects. I tweaked them so they are different but the ideas came from things I've already made. If you'd like to see the original projects I can post those on another day.

First up: Waterfall album - this was originally a class called "lucky Me" at the shop. We used monogram letters. Ring any bells?
Second: I had some left over Daisy D's paper from our last crop and made a little board book. These board books are fabulous for quick projects. I've talked about them before on the blog but that really are worth repeating. (Go buy one!!!)

So there they are. I had fun and it was so worth the mess!

new product

Just showing another item from our recent shipment. If you have family or friends who have served, or our currently serving, our country, these stickers are a great way to represent their service in your scrapbooks.

They are a paper looking sticker so they tend to look classier and can add a nice touch and finishing embellishment to any layout or card. Check them out the next time your in.

New stickers

Just a quick little photo of some of our new spring stickers. The little chicks would looks so cute on an Easter card or maybe a birthday card about aging and not being a "spring chic" any more.

Just a Reminder...

Just a quick reminder. This is the last weekend to take advantage of the March sale.

Selected albums are 50% off!

Remember to stop in and check them out and if you need to see a small sampling of the different styles you can see them on this previous post: A.B.C.'s

Enjoy your weekend.

Pot Pies, Paper & Perfection...

I'm back. Thank you for your patience while I was taking a little blog break. I needed it! Not sure about you but I go through spells where I feel like I'm the least creative person alive. Then, I take a break, play with my food and miracles happen....


After I created this lovely masterpiece for my little one, I sorted paper into piles and now I'm ready to go. I've been wanting for a long time to work on books for my daughters. To simplify the process, I sorted a big stack of papers into piles that fit their personality.


I have a pink pile, a purple pile and a blue-green pile. A pile for each girl and the good thing is that all the papers work together and it takes out the guess work. Now I just need to add my photos and create.

And, something else that has happened while I was away - Judy has received several new shipments. I'll show you some more of the new items in upcoming posts but for now, here's a yummy treat. These little goodies are new in our store and were featured on the Oprah List.


And, if you need to spark your imagination, buy a package and then before you eat them, make a food creation (like my pot-pie man with cheese eye lashes and apple hair ).... it will spark your creativity and make you very happy - I promise!

By the way, it's good to be back!
Amy

edit: The candy treats are chocolate covered sunflower seeds - YUMMY!!!

A.B.C

A - is for Albums. Remember that for the month of March selected Albums are on sale for 50% off. Here's a few visuals.


B - is Blog Break. I'm taking a blog vacation for a bit. Be back soon.

C- creativity. Be creative while I'm away. At least that's what I'm hoping to do. Been hoping that for awhile now. I'll share what I do. And, just remember creativity is not some thing that is constant. It has to be nurtured. So, nurture your creative side this weekend and make something with paper.

Smiles,
Amy
