This is a tough year. I don't have to say it or to type it, we all know it. Even my Annual Holiday Stamp Camp was not happening. In case you wanted to know why-1. Crafters get awfully close, 2. I have a large older clientele, and 3. My usual venues were not allowing groups and … [Read more...] about Craft Season

Wonder Shredder Home Decor piece
Years ago, I, like so many of you, saw nifty upcycle ideas with these old Wonder Shredders. Fingertip removers, knuckle shredder, whatever you call it, they make a great base for Fall Decor. I have several of these in my -what will this be next-bin. This is my version and it can … [Read more...] about Wonder Shredder Home Decor piece
This Years Fair-Thursday
What a Fabulous time, I had, at the Walworth County Fair. The weather was great, lot's and lot's of people were walking around happily, and I had excited people in the Learning Coop Tent.

Tea Tins and the Tea Room Suite
Have you seen the new tea tins? I can't stop talking about how adorable they are. The price point is 4 for $15.00. The measurements for the tins are 3-3/4" x 3-5/8" x 2-1/4". For me, it's the perfect little container for a little something-something. Of course tea, or coffee, but … [Read more...] about Tea Tins and the Tea Room Suite

This may be totally out of the box for you and for others, it's just what you are looking for. My group of ladies were worried at first but I convinced them. … [Read more...] about Stamping on Canvas Panels
Creating an Impromptu Birthday Gift
My hubby, Don, called down to my office and told me we had to fix the WiFi at one of our house watch accounts. Ok. We are not the Cable people but we are pretty good at figuring out general problems. Don is always up for a challenge. When we got to the house, the owner was out … [Read more...] about Creating an Impromptu Birthday Gift
Oh Happy Day Shadow box
How's this for fun. I love our new Serene Scenery DSP. Perfect for a little Shadow box. I added the Greeting Oh Happy Day from the Scenic Sayings stamp set. I used our foam based pad in Soft Suede-inked and stamped on our vellum. It stays wet enough to add clear embossing … [Read more...] about Oh Happy Day Shadow box

Card & Project Buffet
Yes, I took an unintentional break from blogging. Between adding an extra class to my monthly schedule, unexpected events, busy with the kids, etc, I will say that school can not start soon enough for me!! Of course the girls are starting to get excited as well. When school is in … [Read more...] about Card & Project Buffet
