Thoughts for Thursday: Appreciation

Thoughts for Thursday: Appreciation

“Appreciation can make a day, even change a life.Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary.” —Margaret Cousins I made this card for a friend who has worked with me on a committee for church until just recently. I appreciate her willingness to help and all her hard work she put into activities for the ladies at church. It’s a simple card… I started with a pre-printed card base from Die Cuts With a View and…

Master the Brayer, Sensei…. or something.

Master the Brayer, Sensei…. or something.

*Bray-Urh* – “A brayer is a small hand roller, typically used in printmaking techniques to spread ink. They can be made of rubber, sponge, or acrylic and come in a variety of hardnesses for different applications.” ~ From Wikipedia.org Wicked little rolly thing that has had me freaked out about using it for ages. Not sure why I was afraid to just use the dang thing… it’s basically the same thing as a paint roller, and Heaven knows, I sure…

Thoughts for Thursday: Color Inspiration and a Challenge

Today’s Thought for Thursday is about color. I know I did a color thought a while back, but while I was perusing the paint chip aisle for the right (tan/gold/green/steely blue something or other paint for the bathroom) at Lowe’s the other day my eye caught a cool looking brochure from Olympia Paint. (Dig the red wall on the cover!) I opened it up and started reading it and found these cool thoughts on color and inspiration…. (Italics added by…

TILE & An Update

I have been asked a zillion times “When are you going to be done with your studio so we can see it?” I am so stoked for my new space, but it’s so crazy here, I really am not sure…. I will post updates along the way and when it’s ready I might just have to do a really cool giveaway from Stamper Storage 🙂 Here is the update I posted on a Yahoo Group…. “I’m SLOWLY working on the…

There’s A Dog In My Shower

There’s A Dog In My Shower

Every now and again you are blessed with an adventure to remember that, thankfully, no one is around to snap photos of for you to scrapbook. On Monday, I was getting ready for the day, taking my shower, usually a relatively uneventful task… lol… just wash up and get out and on with the day. Well, on Monday, my master bathroom looked like this: That meant we had to move into the main bathroom for a little while. The main…

Back To School – A Gift Set

Back To School – A Gift Set

I have some really awesome friends. I ordered some SU stuff from a party that my friend Susan Culotti had (on the east coast of the US) a little while ago. When the box arrived, I couldn’t wait to rip it open and start playing with my loot. So I got the box opened and to my surprise Susan had included a little surprise… A TREASURE BOX! So I unsnapped the flap, and slid out the tray in the little…

I haven’t really listened to the radio in ages… (I am so behind on “new popular music”.. lol) I’ve been using my drive time to work as “think time” instead of drowning out the world with the radio, but yesterday at work I flipped on my radio and this song was on and I couldn’t get it out of my head all day and most of last evening, so I did a little search on YouTube…. Beautiful voice, beautiful lyrics……
