I am 45 YO, am married to my VERY Best friend. My husband is my support and inspiration. We have 7 beautiful kids, all grown and on their own except the youngest two boys who are both 15. I have loved Art my entire life. As a person, I consider myself to be a lifelong learner and a constant work in progress. My favorite saying is: It's never too late to be who you might have become!-Author Unknown.

It's almost that time of Year!

Learning to stamp the edges of my cardstock, what a difference that makes!

 Oh how I love my Cricut!


These are Tea Bag Books, they are a blast to make, decorate and give4 away, they make awesome gifts!


As you can see, you simply slip a tea bag into each sleeve, you could probably enlarge template to accommodate Hot Cocoa.


Just a closeup, LOVE my stickles!


OK, so I probably need a little Purse Card Counseling! :)


My first exploding Box card, needs ribbon, this one is not quite finished!



 Still not finished, have LOT'S more cool stuff and stickles to add!

  4. Hi ... I love this blog too. How about some creative and original knitted items ... you should expand into this sort of line. You could coordinate your specialty cards with a knitted personal item ..... keep up the great blog!!

  6. I have enjoyed your blog. The items are more to my liking because they are simple, yet elegant. I used to love to use my markers, but have got away from it. Thinking I will go back to doing that on some cards. The photos of the projects are bright and clear. I'll be adding this blog.
