I made this pot o’ pencils (and pens) for my friend’s little girl who turned 11 today. She loves to write and draw (and so do her brothers), so I figured that they wouldn’t steal her cute flowery pens and pencils and it would make a great addition to her desk in her lavendar room. 🙂 This was very simple to do. I purchased a tin pot and two bunches of flowers (97 c each) and some white kidney or…
Another Oldie But Goodie….. My parents ROCK! These are some pics from a visit a few years ago. We went up American Fork Canyon to see the fall colors and took some photos along the way. I wish I could remember what the paper is… I had scraps of it in a bin that I wanted to use up…. I know I picked it up at Pebbles In My Pocket a while back…. The ribbon is generic from WMart and…
” No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed.

Go out and spread some kindness this week! oh, and btw…. my random winner from the last TFT is: Cindy (From S Florida) “I think it means…
This is just a fun super quick layout that I did of a trip to South Dakota (I made the layout a while back.) I used my old Sizzix dies to cut the letters. I wanted to do some layouts without stamping. I probably should dress these up a bit…. I was trying to do the whole non matted photo layout… not sure I like photos without mats….. Extra pictures that I didn’t know what to do with….. so I…
I promise I will post more art soon… 🙂 I am working on some projects, but in the meantime, this is a GREAT video! I was just talking to my stressed out sister (mom of 1.5 yr old twins)….. This should give you mom’s a good laugh. Click Here if You Can’t View It On The Blog Enjoy!!! Erin
Today was a difficult day. I attended the funeral of my sweet friend, Rebecca Rae (Christoffersen) Stinson. It was especially difficult because it was the first funeral of a “friend” close to my age. The doctors are not sure why she died yet. Hopefully we will find out soon. Her sister, Judy, wrote one of the best “Life Sketches” that I have ever heard. Judy’s sketch made me laugh and cry and remember the good times we all had with…
It actually only took us 4 hrs and about 40 minutes to clean the room. It didn’t look as bad in the one before pic…. oh man, you didn’t see that nothing was in order and that I didn’t know what I had tucked away in miscellaneous totes and drawers. Thankfully Brent is a good work master… I had pulled everything out and just got overwhelmed with the piles of stuff. He was good at crackin the whip to make…
Several people have asked me in the comments and via private email about the storage piece that I have my stamp pads in. Here’s the scoop:The stamp pads are stored in an InkStak custom built to fit CTMH or SU! stamp pads by my husband, Brent which we sell through our store, Stamper Storage. InkStaks can be customized by adding additional rows or adding or deleting columns. InkStaks can be easily wall mounted (we include instructions & hardware) or set…
“Happiness sneaks in through a door you didn’t know you left open.”~ John Barrymore What does this mean to you? Leave me a note on this post and I will draw a random name next Wednesday (Sept 19th) to receive random act of kindness. (edited 3:30pm) BONUS CHALLENGE: Create a piece of artwork (a card, a layout, an altered item, anything) that visually represents something that has snuck in one of your “open doors”. There have been some awesome comments…
Saturday night I spent some time with Brent cleaning out my studio/office. We literally pulled everything out of the “craft” side of the office and did part 1 of a “Clean Sweep” of the room. Have you seen the show? It’s FABULOUS! They take EVERYTHING out of a room, furniture, accessories, JUNK, etc., and then repaint and redecorate the room and load things back into the room. The things that don’t find a home in the room are either donated…
