Valentine Frenzy!

Have I got the Valentine bug! I have been making lots of Valentine cards for my Etsy.com page. I don't mind if they don't sell because I'm going to share them with friends & loved ones! It's just so exciting to have the creativity flowing.

Yesterday I joined a friend for an afternoon of scrapbooking at a local scrapbook store, The Scrapbook Hideaway (love it!). We had talked about scrapping there for ages and finally did it! What a great afternoon! We bought a few supplies, made a few pages, and learned how to use a Cricut. I'm addicted to the Cricut and so is my friend! We want to buy one for ourselves! Since I'm working part-time, I think I'll just use the one at the store AT NO CHARGE (can you believe it!?). If you're creative and want to try something new, I strongly recommend trying the Cricut!

Happy 2009!

I'm looking forward to a fresh start in 2009. My year will include a new job, a cleaner & more organized house, a big lottery win, more time for friends, more exercise, and more crafts! I didn't really make any new year resolutions, I just want to make it a great year! I hope that you've set some goals for the year, outlined a plan of attack, and are moving towards success. I look forward to everything that 2009 has to offer! I hope you have a great year!

End of the year

As the end of the year approaches, I am very motivated to work on my crafts. Recently I created numerous greeting cards with a slider that reveals a hidden message. I had so much fun making them and I hope that I sell some on Etsy.com (check it out!). Funny, but I was motivated to decorate some plastic Easter eggs too! I know... we just celebrated Christmas. Sometimes when I see things in my craft room, I'm motivated to make something out of them no matter what time of year it is!

I hope that everyone has a Happy New Year! Be safe! I look forward to a potluck dinner and games with friends!

Christmastime

Merry Christmas everyone! The snow if falling (I should shovel!) as the holidays draw nearer. It's always hard to believe that another year is approaching. I hope that you're looking forward to 2009 and all of its possibilities. I'm looking forward to finding a full-time job and getting into better shape. I'm not much for new year resolutions, but I like to make a few commitments in my mind. I hope the new year brings you much happiness and good health! Happy New Year!

Latest Purchase from Etsy

If you don't know me, you don't know that I'm addicted to Etsy.com! Love it! I just received a purchase from "Hey Buttons!" and am very pleased with it. I haven't knitted much in my lifetime, but I ordered a couple of glass stitch markers. Why? I'm not going to use them for knitting... I'm going to put them on a bracelet as a charm! Thinking outside of the box! The glass is aqua blue and I think it will look incredible on a silver chain. I'll give one to my niece and keep one for myself. If you haven't been on Etsy.com, please visit. There are so many talented artists selling on Etsy. Fun!
