Remembering 9/11

Wishing for cold and snow...

Blessed...

Bring in the clowns!

Girls and boys & a woman with stamping toys!

Baby Girl Galore...

Water sports!

My 3 year old wanted to make Margaret a card and here it is... not too bad. :)


a fun stamp set to play with...

So classy...

Been creating up a storm... Here is the start of it all:

Cherry, Cherry...

Love the song by Neil Diamond but today, it's cherries on cards...

Made this set of 12 for my mom to give to her friend, whom she will be visiting. The friend has her entire kitchen done in cherries and loves 'em. So, thought this would be a fun gift for mom to give her.

My mom will have the option if she wants any sayings or greetings on the front.

Shuttle at Kennedy Space Center

My mom and a friend went over to see the shuttle (didn't go due to the weather) but they sure had a great time. As a thank you, made this for mom to send.

Breast Cancer awareness card

Time flies by when you're busy creating! I have been busy and I have been creating!! The mojo is flowing freely... I hope to post more asap.

Put together a card and when I get the ok, I'll make 19 more for a friend who is in the walk this year.



UPDATE: Got the other 19 done for a total of 20 for this set to my friend. Was an honor to make them for her.

Daughter got bit by the Tim bug...

Bethany loved the one necklace I made on Saturday so much, that she asked if she could make her own. So after her nap today, she did just that.

She painted her metal flowers and leaves...





She loved using the distress hammer... She was careful to not hit her fingers.





And she was so proud once the necklace was finished. Great job, don't you think?

A quick necklace with picture...

I can see how these could be addicting. Hardest part was deciding what photo to use. I actually printed it out twice and when I put them in the frame, I put one photo upside down. So, should the frame flip over, you'll see the same picture the right way up. [smart thinkin', I know....]

Class with Tim...

Ideaology Intrique... I couldn't agree more! When I signed up and paid for this class well in advance, even the store didn't know what classes would be taught. I was thrilled beyond belief that the jewelry making class with all of Tim's goodies was the one I would be in!

Skydiving? check...
Bungy Jumping? check....
Taking a Tim Holtz class & hanging with Mario? check, check......

me and the Man


Here is Tim telling me how he's so excited I'm taking his class and how happy he is to finally meet me. ;)


me and Mario as we take photo number 97, trying for the "no neck" look. LOL

I can now say I have all of the goodies it takes to make all of the necklaces and the birdhouse pin. My daughter has already requested to make her own metal flower necklace. Fun times...
