Another Contest

So I found this other great non-stamping Blog called 5 minutes for Mom. They are a sister twin team (Love that). Currently they have a contest where you can win $300 of Horizon Organic dairy products. If you're interested head on over to 5 minutes for Mom and see how to enter.

Craft Show Goodies

Here are some items I'm working on for some upcoming craft shows. I used the new Stampin' Up! paper called Cherise. LOVE IT! These covered notebooks will also have a coordinating RSVP pen. I plan to use more of the new wonderful paper from Stampin' Up! as well.



I also just love this hostess set. It's called Sidekick sayings. Fun set to use as well. Look for more items with this set for sure. Here's a bunch more I've done. My goal is 75 of these little guys. Fortunately, the crafts shows don't start until September.

Contest to enter

Here's a great contest for you guys to enter. I know it's a little off topic, but if you are drowning in paper, this can be for you. It's call a Neat Receipts Scanner. You can scan in and organize all your paper receipts. Makes keeping track of your tax and personal (or business) finances. And, you can scan in recipes, kids art, etc. to email to others, print and just keep forever! So, visit their website and watch the demo. Then visit 5 Minutes for Mom blog and enter to win one! How cool would that be? I know I'm going to enter. I would LOVE to be organized like that.

Edited to add, contest over. I didn't win either. :(

Seems like forever

I'm a bad Blogger I know. It's been forever since I last posted. I do appologize, but since the kids got out of school, it's been very busy. I've seen the dentist, orthodontist, Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor and Eye Doctor's offices more time than I'd like. Now, it seems like Jeremy (my oldest) needs vision therapy! YIKES. But, this should help him learn to read better. It's just more trips to the Eye Doctor.

I promise to post new items soon. My friend Judy and I are gearing up for our craft shows!

Monogramed Purses

My friend Judy and I do craft shows and special orders. Here are some monogramed purses we're doing for a special order. We'll probably do some for our fall craft shows as well. Aren't they just cute? We used our cuttlebug embossing folders to emboss the color parts. There is a set of 5 matching notecards and envelopes inside.

(If you notice the brad in the center of the flower, it's the new rhinestone circle brads from Stampin' Up! They will be available in the new catalog beginning July 1.)

Schools Out for the Summer!

Yipee! All my kids are done with school. Here's a little project I did for my son's 1st grade teacher. I got the idea from Papercrafts Magazine. My new favorite paper crafts magazine! Tons of great ideas.

May Special and Retired List

May's special is a wonderful sneak peak at what's coming in the new catalog! During the month of May, with every $35 order, you can purchase a stack of 6x6 patterned paper that will be in the next catalog! For more details and to see the patterns, click here.
