{scheduled post} The world of crafting has connected many hearts and built many friendships. I have been lucky to have made many friends in my creative journey via the internet and have even met many in person. One friend who I have not yet met in person but would love to someday is Michelle Durheim of Creative Treasures. She is so incredibly talented and I have spent many hours drooling over her creations on her blog. One day while I…
So I couldn’t share this yesterday (Monday) because I never know when my sweet husband might be haunting my blog. And ya know, I really didn’t want him to see this ahead of time. 🙂 He likes surprises and sweet notes. We had a quiet and sweet Valentine’s Day and attended his brother’s wedding. Next week we hope to do a fun/fancy dinner. I am mostly ready for CU.. most of my goodies are packed and I am tying up…
Busy in the studio on the computer still… I’ve been LOVING playing with digital images and and creating fun little doo-dahs. I’m in charge of the Charm Swap at Creative University and have been having so much fun with my charms. I can’t show you my charms just yet but I wanted to share with you the image I am using on one of them (the Victorian Vintage Charm Swap)… This image is MUCH bigger than what the charm image…

Each month we do a date night with 2 other couples. We take turns going to each couple’s home for dinner, games, etc. Our goal was to get out and do something with friends on date night. It’s been a lot of fun! This month it was Kelly & Kaisa’s turn to host and they chose to make dinner a game in itself. They sent out a note to each of us with our assignments. Greetings Home Cooks: You are…
I’ve been playing around with digi art today and trying to get some goodies packaged up for my Creative University class this month. It’s in less than 2 weeks and I’m trying to tie up loose ends. Most of my roomie gift stuff is done and I think I finished my secret sister gifties. I’ve got to finish my charms and part of that process was finishing up my little “charm cards” to go with them in their little baggies. …
So I may be buried under piles of paper and jewelry supplies but occasionally I pull myself out of the mess and make dinner for the Brent-man and myself. My friend, Jamie, has been sharing recipes and pictures of her new “skinny” meals and one of them caught my eye and whet my appetite 🙂 It’s called “Cuban Sandwich Quesadilla” and is made with Pernil, a slow cooked pork, pickles, ham, swiss cheese and mustard. Now, I’m not a fan…
Gosh I’ve been busy behind the scenes here lately getting ready for Creative University and a visit from my aunt and cousin from Massachusetts who are going to be here when I return from C.U. and stay with us as they travel cross country to LA. Crazy stuff! We DID finally get Christmas down and put away and even de-junked the Christmas/Seasonal Decor closet (aka under the stairs). Yahoo! I’ve also been working on 60 charms (20 art charms, 20…
This is the current state of my desk… {Pardon the picture quality.. I snapped it with my webcam because I am too lazy to haul upstairs and charge the battery for my camera.} It could be worse… oh wait, it IS worse.. you don’t see the stuff upstairs on my table that has to come down here to the desk to find new homes. LOL! Today is National Clean Off Your Desk Day… I read it somewhere online so it…
