Happy Hallowinter & Cookies!

Happy Hallowinter & Cookies!

Hello again and Happy Halloween! We have been getting slammed with snow here in the Rockies this week. I think we got roughly 12″ of snow this week. Crazy for October, even at 6,300 ft! Ellie didn’t mind so much and the mister worked from home a couple of days. I baked and painted and spent a few days in my jammies. I love this spooky little haunted house scene! It took a couple of days to sketch out and…

Watercolor – A New Adventure… or Addiction

Watercolor – A New Adventure… or Addiction

Oh goodness.. another post! Can you believe it? I’m trying.. hehe! I started watercolor painting this late spring/summer on a whim. It looked fun so I figured why not.. so I pulled out the cheap-o Artist Loft brand paints from Michael’s that I used to use when I was with CTMH and started coloring stamped images again for cards. (Please bear with me as I re-learn formatting Blogger posts. They seem to have changed the way they do photos since…

Going Bat Stick Crazy Around Here

Going Bat Stick Crazy Around Here

And now for the excuses….. I have not died. Or driven off the face of the earth. (Yes, it looks like we might drive off the face of the earth on this road up to Pike’s Peak… oy) I have just been living a very crazy life here in beautiful Colorado.

The Derby… Blingsta Style

So I have already failed my goal of blogging once per week.  I have no excuses.  Really. Immediately after we moved here, like the first or second Sunday we were at church, I was asked to be the Bear Cub Den Leader. (Yes I hear you laughing… stop.  Really.  Not funny.  Ok, so it’s hilarious.  Laugh all you want.) At first I was all, “What the what? What are you smoking?” And, “I am SO not a little boy person….

Gelatin + Acrylic Paint + Paper = ART!

Gelatin + Acrylic Paint + Paper = ART!

We’re slowing getting settled in to our new home here in Colorado.  I haven’t crafted in quite some time…. in fact, nearly every craft supply or tool I own is still packed away neatly in boxes… BUT, earlier this week end of last week I did dig my desk out from under the chaos of boxes and furniture that is currently occupying my future craft room.  We figured out some good configurations for workstations and are deciding on color for…

I’m Such A Copy Cat

I’m Such A Copy Cat

I loved Jeanne Tomshack’s post of her Egg Wreath and had to copy it. I love putting different wreaths on my front door for the seasons and holidays and didn’t have an Easter one. I didn’t want to purchase a ready made one because they’re in the $30-$40 range for what I was liking…. so I decided to case Jeanne’s Easter wreath and wait to buy one after the holiday on a good sale 🙂 I went to our Dollar…
