Hello friends! Busy couple of weeks again. We survived the funerals and are glad that they are behind us. Shortly after Brent’s grandpa passed, the father of one of my best friends, Erik, also passed. Erik and his family came up from Albuquerque to take care of his dad’s affairs here in Utah and to do the funeral & burial. I am glad to have been able to provide a place for Erik and Jodi, their 3 loveable boys and…
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…
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…
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…

OOOOH! I was a busy girl today! I cleaned my studio and took some photos! There are a TON of photos to edit and then a blog post to write, but I wanted to show you some snippets. First things first…. My darling, sweet and endearing hottie husband cleaned out the window well for me today. I have this HUMONGOUS 4×5’ window in my basement studio and there was junk still in it from the flood from last summer, so…

I LOVE this owl set! I have been playing around with it today, mostly just stamping in StazOn and coloring in the images… it’s like therapy and helps you avoid housework! LOL! Yesterday’s dishes are rinsed and sitting in the sink with today’s dishes, but by golly I stamped again AND (are you sitting down?) I CLEANED UP MY STUDIO RIGHT AFTER!!! {Tomorrow I have to build InkStaks with Brent and catch up on some sewing projects that I have…
I have been meaning to snap a photo of this fabulous little treasure that arrived in my mailbox last week…… Today I finally threw my coat on over my “fat polar bear lounging clothes” and modeled the treasure while Brent snapped a pic for me! (I’m clean & pressed, just no makeup… lol!) Jeanne is seriously one of the sweetest and most talented women I know! Along with many of you I have been oogling over her crocheted creations over…
We’ve been pretty busy this week and I didn’t have a lot of time to craft, but the adorable stamps I ordered from Karyn’s TAC party got here and I did manage to squeeze out some time last night to make a somewhat belated Valentine’s card for Brent…. Ok so it’s “sorta masculine”…. it’s got a MALE owl on it and loads of brown!! LOL! I stamped the word paper and owl outline with individual stamps in Timber Brown StazOn…
