Tremonton & SEI Treasures

Tremonton & SEI Treasures

When Brent had his interview in Tremonton a couple of weeks ago, I went up with him. (We still are waiting to hear either a yes or a no about the job….) I decided that since we were up there and so close to Logan that we’d take a little side trip and drive over to Logan and make a little stop to a place I’ve been wanting to visit for a while…. YESSSSSSSSS! We stopped at SEI and visited…

In Like a Lion, Out Like a ….

… Lamb? Fat Polar Bear Lambs are white and fluffy… Snow is white and fluffy… But lambs are WARM! Mother Nature is either kidding with us or is suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder. This is nuts. But it gets worse. Check THIS out. We can expect two more days of it this week. YIKES! Sadie was not sure about this new layer of 4-5” of fluffiness. She was so stoked about the nice warm t-shirt and shorts/lightweight pants weather we…

I wrote a tutorial this morning… this next week could be busy for me, so I’ve written up a couple of posts to share and scheduled them with blogger. Here’s a sneak peek of a card I made using Faux Designer Paper.

Everybody Else Is Doing It…

Everybody Else Is Doing It…

So why shouldn’t I? Paint chipboard letters, that is…    I have been stuck in the “cover it with paper” mode for way too long.  I’ve had lots of fun over the past several weeks perusing other blogs and other forms of art, etc.  Talked to my aunt the other night for several hours about crafting and such and she suggested collage… I’m trying to get my mind on board for trying out collage…. like REAL collage… where you use all…

Thoughts for Thursday: Laughter

Thoughts for Thursday: Laughter

It’s late Wed night and I’ve had a wonky kind of day.  Not sure what the funk is… I had a hard time waking up this morning and hauling my carcass out of bed to go up to Orem for an extra few hours at work.  And then after running errands with Brent and coming home, I tried writing a post for tomorrow’s TFT and worked on editing some pictures and was chatting it up with Amaryllis on Google Talk……

Thoughts for Thursday & Origami Flowers

I was perusing the web and searching out fabulous storage products to carry in our store and found these: How cool is THAT? Paper storage made from mdf that you can paint, cover in paper, whatever you want at an affordable price! You can lay them out vertically or stack them horizontally. I am in contact with the manufacturer and am working on getting these in the store very, very soon! So then I was perusing other items and projects…

On Socks & Funeral Potatoes

On Socks & Funeral Potatoes

It’s been a very trying week. In fact, it’s been a very trying year so far. I won’t recount all the negative things, but I’d like to take a minute to express my gratitude for all the blessings that I DO have including a sweet and wonderful husband to share my life with. Do you ever wonder what happens to your socks once they go in your dryer? I keep ending up with one sock here and there. There are…

Quilling & Butterflies

I’ve been really busy and sick with a nasty cold that will not go away this week and crashed out this afternoon and then got up to do some papercrafting and finish a project that has been rolling around in my head. I had a FANTASTIC birthday last week… turned the big 35… ouch!  We had a bunch of friends over with their kids for cupcakes and ice cream…. CHOCOLATE cupcakes, of course, with fluffy white frosting!! MMMMM!   Brent gave…
