April 6, 2010 Erin Comments 5 comments

Happy Easter, Friends! I hope each of you had a pleasant and blessed Easter yesterday! Brent and I enjoyed a peaceful and quiet day together. We listened to LDS General Conference and visited with each other. It’s been a long week and so it was nice to just chit chat and hang out together. 🙂 Brent made the most DIVINE chicken for dinner… Parmesan Crusted Chicken with a Sage Butter sauce and roasted rosemary garlic potatoes on the side.. nom…

Sorry for the delay in posting this third reveal. I’m back on track now and just waiting for one more set of treats to come in via email. One player is unable to play this time due to family things and another did not receive their package in the mail. It was returned to me because I had the wrong address. argh. Anyway… We will have one more reveal after this one. I also need to apologize because I failed…

Skipping Stones Design Sketch Tuesday: SSD018 – Chicks

March 30, 2010 Erin Comments 8 comments

It’s been a really wonky weekend. I attended the funeral of a friend on Saturday and my job at church ended (I was released as the 2nd counselor in our Relief Society – ladies group) after over 3.5 years working with the ladies. I was so sad to end my “calling”. I have just felt emotionally drained and my mojo has flown the coop. *poof* Anyway, enough whining already. Today’s sketch is our last one from Sgt Stamper. Thank you…

March 29, 2010 Erin Comments 4 comments

I’ve been meaning to get these pics posted and when Jeanne showed her chain maille project I figured I’d better get it up. When I was visiting Jeanne in Colorado earlier this month we took a little trip to her local Hobby Lobby which is seriously just around the corner from her house. I bought a whole buncha cool schtuff.. mainly jewelry making schtuff and this really cool “dress form”. to put in the empty corner behine my computer monitor. …

I’m Such A Copy Cat

March 26, 2010 Erin Comments 8 comments

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…

It’s Always A Good Time For Cake

March 24, 2010 Erin Comments 11 comments

It’s always a good time for cake, and my birthday was a couple of weeks ago, but I didn’t have CAKE this year so I figured I’d whip up something yummy for myself. LOL! Yeah yeah yeah… cake is seriously the best part of birthday celebrations… well, besides spending the day with loved ones. Cake, well, it’s da bomb. So anyway.. I’ve been on this crochet kick the last couple of weeks and I have been having a blast. I…

I’ve been procrastinating making this card all day long. I also had to postpone the next reveal of Scrap My Scraps. It’s been a rather unproductive day, although I did sit at my computer and stare at YouTube while crocheting a cute little mini cupcake (which I will share later when I get it stuffed and stitch the top on) and then went and took photos of a friend for her daughter’s “portfolio” for a job with a local bridal…
