Added to my Stash!

Some Lovely Graphic 45 paper!  I've been dreaming about this and the Alice Paper!  Project in my head!

Totally have a project for this!

I had a dream last night and there is a project I must create!  Now where oh where do I find the time?

Wall Art

Did I point out the new Wall Art in Em's room?   She made this almost all on her own (Mommy did the ironing with the big iron).  These are those melting plastic beads the girls love them!  We found this frame at Ikea!  Totally rocks and she loves Owls!

Lucky Charm Green

And it is totally green!  But Emily loves her new room!  Everything is bright white or black against the green so that's good!  She spends a lot of time reorganizing and hanging out in her room now!   It's her little hideaway!   We are so glad she loves her Birthday Present!
Things have quieted down a bit this week.  Had a day off to recoup!  Phew!  The Japanese Beetles are killing my plants in the front yard!  Dave is currently fighting those, ICK!  The kids and I got a bunch of craft books from the library to make things out of!  Masks is all Abbi wants to do can't wait to see how they turn out!  Suz is coming to stay with the kids this weekend as Dave is out of town and I work every day.  They should all have fun!

Another couple of samples of my AMuse with Copics Class!  Happy our weekend and week are going so well at work but it's been crazy busy this summer!  Hope everyone has a great week!

Ho Ho Ho!

Our Christmas in July party was a blast yesterday!  Dianne had her Christmas Decorations up,  Christmas Music Playing and a Turkey on the Grill.  Ok the turkey on the grill is different but it was almost 90 degrees outside and the oven was full of other holiday favorites!  We all had a great time and we got so many Christmas Cards done!    We ate too much Christmas Dinner and then Birthday cake to celebrate Paula's birthday!  The there were leftovers to bring home and have today!  I can't wait until Lunch!

So the kids and Dave hung out most of the day!  I think even they were exhausted by the last week.  My Mom and Joel headed home last night and will get there sometime this evening! 

So this week are more AMuse classes.  The cards above are from my AMuse with Copics class this coming weekend!

Have a great week!

Phew The Holidays Just Keep Coming!

More cards from my upcoming Christmas In July class using AMuse stamps!  Our Bash yesterday at the store was FABULOUS couldn't have asked for better!

Em's party last night was a lot of fun! The kids had a great time.  And the adults enjoyed the food and drink.  Joel and the puppies showed up midday yesterday.  Apparently pulling the RV into the grocery store parking lot as Mom and the girls were heading in.  When I got home they were having fun playing with Mia and Bree and Grandpa was relaxing after his long drive from North Dakota.   We had a great time and great weather!  I'll share some picks a bit later.

So no rest for the weary after cleaning up last night I put together my cranberry congealed salad for today's big party at Dianne's.  This morning I got my green bean casserole going and finished up some card kits to put together when I get to Dianne's Christmas In July party.  We are all bringing holiday dishes to eat and going to sit around and make our Holiday cards for this year.  I'm so psyched to be done ahead of time!  And to spend the day relaxing and hanging out with friends. 

Have a great Sunday!

Christmas In July!


Amuse A Palooza has begun!  Here are some samples from my upcoming Christmas in July Class.  Our Private Event last night was a total Success.  We are looking forward to our full week of Amuse classes and various events!

Today Mom is dropping me off at work and taking the girlies for Mani/Pedis then tonight after work we have Em's Family B-day Party.  Ribs are in the crock pot, cole slaw and pickled cucumbers are made. Giant Cupcake is done mini cupcakes are complete.   I got the Watermelon Vodka drink in the freezer late last night with the help of Dianne driving over enough vodka for me to finish up.  A true friend will always come when you have a Vodka emergency in the middle of the night!  The house is pretty much done Dave will put up the streamers today and finish setting up.  And hopefully someone will find the Coconut M&M's not only are they fabulous but they are the color scheme of Em's Party and will be way cute in dishes!

Ok Off to finish up things and get going!  Have a great day or stop by and see everything new we have at the store and do a make & take!

Cool Flourish


So I've added these tags to my Etsy Shop.  Love love this shape and the flourish from Lost Coast!   I plan to do lots more with this image!  I did get more like them!  Fun Fun Fun!!!

In other news we're working on our big Birthday Bash at the store for this weekend.  As well as Emily's B-day party.  Then there is a surprise or 2 surprise guests coming in for the weekend.  And lastly is the Schnockers Christmas In July party on Sunday.  I'm totally jammed up this week and we still have to finish Emily's room and get it presentable for guests this weekend!  EEEEEEK!

Fluttering In!

Do you see a theme in my life lately?  GREEN.  This is another card from yesterdays Die Cut class here I used a Spellbinder die and some of the plastic packaging the dies came in.  Then we stamped in Staz On on the wings. The flourish is actually the tail of a new Hero stamp that's a Peacock!  Gotta love it!  What you can do at Midnight when your desperate to finish a sample!  HA

Happy Monday!

Today I am teaching Discovering Die Cuts at the store.  I love this card.  It's made with the Tim Holtz Butterfly Die which is one of my favorites.  Right now I'm on a mission to find new uses for it! 

Ok so the painting of Em's room is going and going and going....  And it's very very green like the color of these trees green!  EEEK.  I hope she loves it!

Happy Weekend today Christine is heading over and we are going to Scrap all day!  Dave and the Girlies are going to go with Jonathan to pick up the paint and get things organized to start painting!  Cool Cool!  Busy day for everyone  here!

Hope your having a wonderful safe Holiday Weekend!
