Auto Order Form & Copics

2012-01-08T00:27:00.000-05:00

I received my Idea Book from Bev today, so I will be working on the AOF on Sunday and post when it is completed. Thanks Bev for everything!

I posted some new Digi Stamp sites on the Copic section of the blog. I love the super cute kid stamps that Mo's Digital Pencil has.

Homemade Christmas Presents

2011-12-29T16:18:00.001-05:00

A special thank you to all of my fellow CTMH sisters that are now following my blog and have become friends on Facebook, I truly appreciate you and want to wish you a Happy 2012!

As some of you know, my Dad passed away in 2010. It was sudden and extremely unexpected. My Dad loved Christmas and every year he would hand out the presents while wearing his Santa hat and his Green sweatshirt. He and Mom had matching shirts and they would also wear them out when Christmas shopping. Mom donated his clothing last month and she was donating the shirt, I couldn't let it go.

I decided to make sure everyone had a piece of Dad and his tradition each Christmas and made these ornaments. I cut thin strips of his shirt and I soaked a small piece with his favorite cologne, so you can smell it through the top.

Other side

And they were loved by all. My nephew Josh, My sister Julie, My daughter Natasha and My Mom.

A couple of months ago, my Nephews dog, Mystery died. He had her since she was a pup and after having had puppies, she became ill and never recovered. I created this canvas using Quick Quotes for him. Once I read the sentiment, I new it was meant for him!

And a tearful homemade Christmas was had by all!

Tis the season....

2011-12-27T21:30:00.000-05:00

to be extremely busy! We had lots of hectic shopping and wrapping Christmas week. And I spent all day Christmas Eve finishing the homemade gifts for my family. I will post the pictures tomorrow, I don't have my camera with me right now.

To all my CTMH sisters, I am leaving the company, due to not having the time to work on the business. I will however be able to keep the Auto Order form updated thanks to Beverly Gosling, she will send me the new IBs and post on the BBs when they are updated for me. So, either watch for her posts or subscribe to my blog to be notified.
Be back tomorrow!

Christmas Card Swap

2011-10-30T21:12:00.001-04:00

Hello my fellow creators, I am trying something new. Taking step by step pics of my creations to share with you and hopefully teach you something new or help you remember to try a technique you used to use and haven't in a while.

I signed up at my local scrapbook store for a Christmas cards swap and this is my creation.

I chose the Olive colored cardstock from the DCWV stack and used the Cuttlebug and the Lace Tree folder to emboss them.

I then rubbed them with Peeled Paint Distress ink.

I tore around the images, and then inked the edges with the same ink pad.

I used 2 different Christmas papers and mounted the trees. I used Brown Kraft cardstock for the base.

I found these really cute little red ribbons with white pearls by Darice to use as my tree toppers.

I finished it off by adding accents with my Viva Pearl Pens. These things are awesome. You can place your dots on your creation or you can make them on wax paper, let them dry and pel them off and use. You can also color them with you Copics!

My choice of adhesive when I am working with an embossed paper is the Tombow Mono liquid glue. It does an great job at getting in the nooks and cranies of the embossing.
Hope you enjoyed my creation, please comment or email me at scrapjaci@yahoo.com
Also, check out the new feature I am trying called The Inlinkz Manager.

Copic page completed, Auto Order update

2011-10-23T15:33:00.000-04:00

Hello my fellow creators!

I have added a Copic page with links to helpful sites and to digi images. Check it out and if you have a favorite site, send it to me and I will add it. scrapjaci@yahoo.com

Also, thanks to Lalia Harris, I have posted a updated version of the auto order form. On the "How to Use" page there is a box where you can put your tax rate in and it will change it on all the forms for you. And I changed the price of the SOTM so it figures correctly now.

I have been busy moving into my new scrap room and getting things organized. When I am finished I will post pics, although it won't be decorated the way I want yet. That will most likely be next year before that happens.

Everyone have a great time creating!

Copics and an update

2011-09-15T23:18:00.001-04:00

I wanted to update you on my sister, she came through her surgery with flying colors and is showing signs of improvement on movement. She was tickled to death that she could scratch her nose, which means she will once again be able to feed herself with her right hand . And she came home today.

I have recently started purchasing Copic markers and taking classes at my local scrapbook store. So, I have been thirsting for knowledge on how to use my beautiful new rainbow of colors and searching for digital stamps to use. I have compiled my searching into a new page on my blog. I am adding more to it so keep checking back. Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Updating my blog

2011-09-10T22:27:00.001-04:00

I have been working away on updating the blog. I have updated the Shopping sites, Blog Resources and Scrapping Resources. I have more to add to them and will let you know when I have more updates.

Tomorrow is the 10th Anniversary of 9/11...please keep the families of those that lost their lives in your thoughts and prayers. May God bless them and ease their aching hearts.

I have a prayer/keep us in your thoughts request of my own. My sister, Julie is having surgery on her spine Tuesday. She has severe arthritis in her discs and it is squeezing her spinal cord. She is currently having issues with her arms & legs and is having problems walking, lifting her arms and gripping. We are very hopeful that the replacement surgery of C2 - C6 will allow her to live a normal life again.

Thank you for any prayers and good thoughts.

TWEAKING!?!

2011-08-21T18:03:00.000-04:00

That is my new favorite word! Tweaking ~ to make a minor adjustment to: to tweak a computer program. In my case I am tweaking creative projects and more. Making small changes to them.

I have been taking a few classes at Scrap N Friends because I feel the need to make new friends and I need to create and I do not currently have a space to do that in. Creating is my stress relief and I desperately need that lol!

I love the classes, but I have to be honest and admit that not all of the things we do meet my creative style. And I don't carry ALL of my scrap supplies with me, so when I get home, I am going to start TWEAKING them to fit my creative style.

I will take before and after pics and post them. My first TWEAKING is not a paper creation, it is a tote I purchased to take to class. I wasn't crazy about it being black and white, so I came home and TWEAKED it in 15 minutes with my Copics.

What do you think of the creative change?

Howdy from the long lost blogger :)

2011-05-08T22:39:00.000-04:00

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted, but I have been soooo busy with work. I am the office manager at my cousins auction facility in Greenville, OH Jim Wroda Auctions and he recently purchased another facility at Chautauqua Lake, NY. I have been doing the record keeping for both facilities and still taking care of one daycare child after school. That is why I haven't had time to post. But I think I am finally getting in the groove of having the added work from the NY facility, and things are going smoother.

I haven't been creating much due to not having time and having no scrapbook room at the moment. But I was able to create the decorations for the VFW's Hospice Benefit using my Cricut Expression. I used the Nifty Fifties Cartridge and had a ball making them. I also used my Cuttlebug and lots of inks, CTMH Create-a-shade Pearl Paint, and other embellishments and Stickles, Stickles and more Stickles!!

You can't have glasses with out tape on them!

My Dad used to 1/4 mile Drag race and he raced a Black and White 57 Chevy. He had Toms Toy on the side in Chevy Orange. This is in honor of him.

And Yes, I did make an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini too!

Used my Cuttlebug and the Pearl Paint here.

Can't have roller skates without pom poms on the laces!

BTW, my wonderful daughter Natasha got engaged on March 17 to a wonderful man, Brandt. I am extremely happy for them and will be very happy to have him as my son-in-law. He treats her, myself and my Mom like Queens and we love him. I have been searching online for decorating ideas, and we have a few using my Cricut.

On a sad note, this Tuesday marks the one year anniversary of my Dad passing away and them my Uncle on the 18th. I can't tell you how hard this year has been, but we have made it through with the help of our loving family and friends. And they prayers and kind words of all of my CTMH sisters and online friends have meant more to me than you will know. Thank you :)

I am truly blessed

2010-12-31T21:39:00.000-05:00

Even though 2010 has been a tremendously heartbreaking, emotional and stressful time for my family, I am finding that I am blessed.

* Blessed with family and friends that have been there for us with the loss of my Dad and my Uncle eight days later.

* Wonderful daycare families that supported me when I needed to close my business after 20yrs.

* Blessed to have wonderful family that believed that I could be an asset to their business.

* Blessed to discover that I have so many CTMH sisters that care about me in ways you wouldn't believe. I truly appreciate everything you ladies have done for me, more than you could understand.

I will be re-joining CTMH after Jan. 1 and hope to get my business back up and running.

I am currently working on the Auto Order Form and if I don't get it finished tonight before I get dropped, I will complete it as soon as I re-sign.

I hope everyone has a very blessed and Happy New Year. Be safe and know that I value each and every one of you.

In 2011, if you have the opportunity to Pay It Forward, please do so...it will come back to you in ways you never knew.

And a share from the message boards...If anyone has been wanting to buy the Gypsy to go with your Cricut, someone posted it for $88. Check it out CricutMachine.com

2. Change the product number
3. Change the description
4. Change the price
5. Click save

That is all you have to do.

Also, if you have already downloaded, the price for the Wishes book is wrong. It should be $21.95, you need to change that or re-download the form.

Organizing my unmounted stamps

2010-02-22T18:07:00.000-05:00

Hello my friendly blog readers !

I desperately needed to organize my unmounted stamps. I have Stampin' Up stamps, and several of those wonderfully addictive $1 stamps. And they were all shoved in this drawer and rarely used .

and under these was a basket with SU stamps and the ones I unmounted from wood blocks.

Several months ago I purchased this lovely little stamp holder from Little Monkeys and finally used it. Very well worth the money.

I didn't purchase the little stamp inserts, because when I removed the acetate sheet they stick right on the page.

My SU stamps and red rubber stamps.

This is the end result, I am soooo happy ! I stuck my large sets of clear stamps behind the monkey sleeves.

Now I have all these little sheets of acetate, any suggestions on what to do with them? Please leave me a comment with any ideas.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

A mini card using distressing embossing powder

2010-02-10T09:52:00.000-05:00

I have recently been making mini cards and having so much fun. Here is a card that I made for a friend.

Card base is craft paper cardstock.
Pattern paper punched with a Martha punch.
Heart is stamped on watercolor paper using Tim Holtz Distressing Embossing Powders. (my newest fav)
I tore around the image, then watercolored it, a smaller piece of watercolor paper and card base with Distressing Inks.
Fibers are CTMH.
Used foam dots to give it dimension.
I made the envelope out of a gift bag from the dollar tree.

I will have another post in a day or two on organizing my stamp sets.

Would you love to get your scrap room / area organized?

Then take a little trip over to "My Love Affair with the Label Maker" blog and see her weekly challenges for getting organized. There are a total of 29 weeks of challenges, she is on week 4. I am heading over there now to start at the bottom of the page with week one and see if I can find a few new tips for my room.

I have my paper organized in Cropper Hoppers and my stacks in a cubbie on my craft desk. I have my CTMH stamps organized, but need to work on my red rubber and other acrylic stamps. I have organized my Cricut Carts, in a snapware ribbon box (LOVE this idea) and most of my embellishments are are in glass jars. My flowers are in large glass jars, my tools are in a carousel and my stickers are in hanging file folders. Hmmmm, maybe I am more organized than I thought I was lol! And I just need to straighten things up so I can be creative.

Well, once again I have been MIA! But I have accomplished a lot. I got my garden and flower beds planted, moved my website over to the blog and I am working on doing the same with my daycare site (that will take the most time).

I went on a 3 day vacation and I have been working on photography and having fun experimenting with my camera. I am LOVING all of the spring blossoms and just flowers in general as subjects.

I am cleaning my scrap room today, so I can get busy on a few cards. And I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond and bought a Betty Crocker Clean Cookin' Non-Stick Oven Liner to use for making my own Dew Drops. I have been wanting to try this and hopefully the mat works and the creating works!

Here are a few pics of flowers that my daughters boyfriend has gotten her and gave me photo opts.

And lastly, Lilacs from my Parents bush.

MIA

2009-03-12T08:08:00.002-04:00

WOW....I have been MIA for a while and didn't even realize it had been that long.

I have been busy making paper dolls for my daycare kids, getting things together and seeking donations for the VFW HOSPICE benefit, getting the American Idol scrap game off and running, cleaning up my van to sell and cruising around in my new purty purple truck (ok it is used, but new to me). And if the sun ever comes back out I will be able to get pics of it.

I am so in love with this truck, it is something I have always wanted and have never been able to have because it wasn't practical, due to the daycare. But at almost 46 yrs. old I decide the hell with it...I am doing something for myself and being selfish...and I L-O-V-E it!!!! So hopefully the sun will come out today and I can get pics. I am off to make a few cd's because I have a cd player in the truck WOOHOO!!

Busy, busy, busy

2008-10-07T14:18:00.003-04:00

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but man life has been busy. I have been doing s few great swaps and getting the reality games going. My furbaby has been very sick and we had to make an emergency trip to an all night vet that was 45 mins away at 2 in the morning this past Sat. He is doing much better now thank God. We were so scared.

I am in the process of going through pictures for 5-8 scrapbooks for the VFW that I will be making. I have hundreds of pics to sort going as far back as the early 90's so far. I printed over 200 just for 2007! I have to make a scrapbook for the Aux. president and one for her twin sister that is our commander and then the other pics will go into scrapbooks that will be in the bar/club area that our members can look through. And I am creating a blog for them.

Here are pics of the inchie swap that I participated in. The inchies I created are the birdie in the 1st pic and the BOO ghost in the 3rd pic.

I used watercolor paper, embossed the inchie with my cuttlebug and then watercolored it with CTMH inks.

I used mat board, stamped the black image and used embossing powder, then rubbed glue over the white area and sprinkled with glitter. Then added wiggly eyes!

TTFN and Thanks for looking!

Finally, back online!!!!

2008-09-21T23:04:00.002-04:00

Well, last Sunday we got the remnants of Ike here in Ohio in the form of 75 mph winds. It was really wild outside, the wind was swirling in all directions. Trees are down everywhere, a section of my fence blew down and my daycare kids sand and water table went end over end through the back yard. I never lost power, but I did lose cable/internet for a week. Some people are still without power a week later. So I am trying to get caught up on over 600 emails and the reality scrap games. We still need players, if anyone wants to have fun a get new scrap goodies, join us.

PLEASE, PLEASE at least look at this blog to see if you own this ball. If you do throw it away immediately.

Card Puzzler Swap Creations

2008-09-02T17:11:00.007-04:00

Have you heard of a Card Puzzler Swap? Here are the basics...Design a card, cut the papers and cardstock and stamp your images. Send each person enough to make 2 cards, everything but the card base and embellishments. The receivers have no idea of what your original designed looked like. They take the pieces and build a card and embellish as they wish. Then send 1 back to you. I love seeing the different designs with the same pieces.

Here is one I designed and the other ladies creations.....Enjoy!

Creation two:

Creation three:

Scrap lifted and shortcut card and more

2008-06-30T09:04:00.004-04:00

My friend had a baby girl on Friday and she named her Violet, she also has twin daughters..Lili and Rose and a son Jacob. I scrap lifted this card from the Spring IB and shortcutted it by using Stickease for the flower pot babies instead of stamping them. Everything is CTMH except the flower.I used our corner rounder to make the scallops and punched them with the cropadile then chalked with yellow and orange pastels. I foam dotted the flower pots for dimension.

I have updated and added more blogs on my website and I am adding more. Go to scrapjaci to see some wonderful creations and great tips and ideas. If you are a user of Copic markers or interested in learning about them check out the "I Like Markers" blog. I don't own copics, but have been thinking of purchasing some after seeing the beautiful artwork that has been created using them.

There are also great blogs that use Bellas, Hannas and one of the newest stamp sensations Magnolia stamps. These are so adorable and I really need to purchase a few of them.

I am also in the process of reformatting a few new documents for your use and will post them this week on the website. I also have more artwork that I will be posting on here this week. Have a wonderful Fourth of July...be safe and have fun!

My scrap room is finished

2008-06-23T15:41:00.007-04:00

Well, I finally have my scrap room finished, for the most part lol! I still need to organize my papers and card stock and make more folders for sticker categories and organize my embellishments, but I can use my desk now and see the floor! It is a small alcove that is supposed to be my dining room (who needs a room to eat in...having a place to scrap and create is much more important!)

#1 The whole room

#2 Left side...Wishblade, radio, cuttlebug, paper holder, stickers in the file drawer, items to be altered, odds and ends and daycare business items.

#3 My desk

#4 Right side...CTMH business items, stamp sets, punches, coluzzles and items waiting to go in a scrapbook.

Thanks for stopping by and post any questions you may have.

I have my shelves hung, and most of my stuff put away. I am still finding places for everything. I have to get my computer and printer and few other things moved this weekend and then I will take the pics.

My daughter is still waiting on the results of her state boards, she is convinced that she has fail them, since her best friend got her results yesterday. She is at work today and made me promise that I would not check the site to see if she passed and let me tell you....it is KILLING me!!!!

Keep sending prayers that she passes please and thank you for all of the wonderful comments.

My scrap room

2008-05-30T13:40:00.003-04:00

Well, I am in the middle of hanging new shelving in my scraproom, I am hoping it will make the space brighter, less cluttered and more functional. I currently have holes drilled in my wall and have to wait until all of the daycare kids are picked up so I can make a run to Lowe's and get different drywall anchors. The ones I bought are too short!

I am so excited to get the shelves up so I can find my scrap desk again and get back to creating, oh and stamping and making the 45 graduation party invitations by next Friday! My daughter takes her RN state boards on Tuesday, so if you could spare a little prayer or good wish please do, her name is Natasha. She wants to be a NICU nurse at Children's Hospital.

I will post pics of my room when it is finished.

TTFN and have a great weekend!

Dahlia Fold

2008-05-09T09:16:00.003-04:00

Ok, so I have been trying to do the Dahlia Fold and I am having so much problem with papers.

I wanted a bold printed paper on one side and a softer pattern of some sort on the backside. CTMH papers are plain colors on the backside, two sided papers from my LSS are more like cardstock and HARD to fold and the white core shows through when I fold it.

I think I am going to have to go to the dark side (lol) and purchase papers from a competing company. I am just kidding...I am in no way a purist creator. So, as soon as I get new papers I will attempt them again and post the pics.

I did create Origami Butterflies for a fellow consultant whose friend has Cancer. She is trying to collect 1,000 paper butterflies. I sent in 35 to help. My smallest one was 1" and it was hard to fold, but I wanted to see how small I could go!

My daughter is graduating from Nursing school tonight, so I am off to create a graduation card.

TTFN and have a great weekend!

What I did this weekend

2008-04-08T15:09:00.007-04:00

The VFW had a HOSPICE benefit on Sat. and I made a dog and a cat gift basket for them to auction off. Well, who knew my little ol' baskets would raise so much money. They sold for $55 each!!! Last year I made a basket with bath & body works products and it only went for $25 and the year before I made 2 scrapbooks that were all red, white and blue and they went for $35 each. I guess animal items are the way to go.

The dog basket had 2 picture frames, 3 bandanas, 3 toys, shampoo, 2 bags of homemade treats and a squashbook that I made.

The kitty basket had 2 frames, 2 baggies of catnip, several toys, 2 bags of homemade treats, and a squashbook.

Trying a new creation

2008-03-27T14:26:00.002-04:00

I know this paper folding technique is not new, but it is new to me. The Dahlia Fold. I love the look of this and I will be creating hopefully beautiful flowers with it tonight. I had to go to several stores before I found 2 sided paper, finally found it at my LSS. Here is a link to the directions Dahlia Fold.

Another thing that I am finding interesting and intriguing are "Inchies". Have you heard of these? I have a couple of links for you to check them out. I will be creating these also.

What's going on this weekend

2008-03-14T14:29:00.004-04:00

Hi!

Today is a dreary rainy Ohio day. I am in the process of re-doing my scrap area, so tonight I am going out to dinner, go shopping for my desktop shelves and then on to see "Horton Hears A Who!" I am so excited, I can't wait to see this movie. Growing up the Horton books were one of my favs (my most fav is Horton Hatches an Egg).

Tomorrow I am getting my hair done, going to dinner and the dance at the VFW for St. Patrick's Day. Hoping to work on my scrap area.

Sunday, I plan on doing more to my scrap area. I really wish I could paint my walls, but my landlord won't let me. I want my area finished and uncluttered so I can get to work on my card designs that I want to make.

TTFN and have a blessed weekend!

Blizzard

2008-03-09T22:27:00.003-04:00

We had a blizzard that started on Fri. around 9am and continued until Sat. at 4pm. We had about a foot of snow that fell, and made a huge drift across the driveway that was up to my waist. Our fur baby Lil' Bit went out and played in the snow and had a ball. I got great pics for a layout, he was too cute.

My daughter and I spent time together, taking turns cooking the meals and plying games. We played Boggle and Guitar Hero II (I will not be joining a rock band any time in the near future lol).

Take care and have a great day!

Where does the time go?????

2008-02-07T10:32:00.000-05:00

I am so busy, that I feel like I am running in circles. My Uncle was admitted into the ICU on Jan. 27. He had severe pneumonia and was put on a ventilator. They finally removed it yesterday (Feb. 6) so I have been going to the hospital as often as possible.

I am getting things together for American Idol Scrap and doing the card puzzler swap. I am soooo behind on the puzzler, I feel like such a flaker...but everything is going postal today!!!! And I haven't been to the gym in 2 weeks and I can tell it, I am tired all the time and feel like crap. I really miss going, but I am planning on going Sat.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Catching up

2008-01-24T10:01:00.000-05:00

Well, our family Christmas party was a lot of fun and very enjoyable. I have started a scrapbook of each year.

I am creating the first 2 rounds of the new card puzzler rounds. And I found an old one from last year, that got pushed behind stuff on my desk. I feel so bad and will send it out today.

I still have spots availabel for the American Idol Scrap game if anyone is interested. We have quite a few players and it should be great fun!

I have been checking the links and updating my daycare website www.jacischildcare.com and will be adding new goodies to www.scrapjaci.com in the next couple of days.

Take care and have a great day!

Busy start to a New Year

2008-01-14T20:49:00.000-05:00

WOW, what a busy New Year so far. My dc kids have had the after Christmas grumpies, I have been signing lots of players up for American Idol Scrap game (Yipee!), we are having our family Christmas party on Sat., (delayed due to weather). I came up with the brilliant idea last week, to make a scrapbook from the past years and have it at the party, so I have been running around like a crazy woman trying to get it finished. And squeezing in time to make it to the gym. Well, I am off to scrapbook!

Happy New Year

2007-12-29T17:53:00.000-05:00

Sorry, I haven't posted. My cable/internet was out for 3 days. WOW did I miss the internet. I will post a new tip of the week tomorrow and a few pics of creations.

Troy Jr. High School

2007-12-16T15:36:00.000-05:00

This past Thursday, I had the pleasure of being invited to Troy Jr. High School and teaching 36 students a few distressing techniques. Each girl received a a mini stamp pad that I made and a small My Acrylics Stamp. They really enjoyed learning how to use the stamps and distressing the papers. I hope to be invited back, and one group of girls made me a very nice Thank You card.

If any of the girls visit and see this please post a comment,

Card Puzzler Swap

2007-11-28T13:20:00.000-05:00

I was part of a Card Puzzler Swap. Each person designs a card, then cuts exact pieces and sends them to everyone. Each person then uses the pieces they received and makes a card (you have no idea what the original design is) and send it back to the creator. You are not allowed to alter the patterned paper or card stock except by distressing or folding. You may alter any stamped images and add at least one embellishment. It was a lot of fun.

Hi

2007-11-28T12:57:00.000-05:00

Just wanted to check in and say Hi and I hope everyone had a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.

Halloween Treat Bag Toppers

2007-11-01T08:56:00.000-04:00

As Promised here is a pic of my Treat Bag Toppers. They were 3x3 and I stapled them on the tops of little 3x4 bags filled with treats. I used all CTMH products. I used Colonial cardstock and the Little Spooks stamp set. I stamped the outline of the Mummy in Brown Bag and the others in Black. I used our water color pencils with a blending pen. I made 25 of each and I placed a printed label on the back advertising my CTMH business.

What's been going on

2007-10-29T17:28:00.000-04:00

Well, I have been very busy. Making treat bags for beggars night which is tomorrow night. I am making 100 of them. I will post pics of the bag toppers on Tues.

Went to a Halloween dance at the VFW on Sat. and I dressed as " Brutus" the OSU mascot. We had loads of fun.

I am still working on creating a new header, and I am debating on keeping my website and/ or possibly getting a CTMH site. I really just don't know what to do.

Fall is in the air, it is a lovely 55 degrees in OH. The trees are turning and the leaves are falling. The air is crisp and smells heavenly!

Have a wonderful day!

Suprise visitors

Today started out as a ho-hum day and turned out terrific!!!
I had surprise vistors today.
I am an in-home child care provider and I had a family that we became very close with. Their little girl was in my care for 5 yrs and we became like family. They had to move due to Dad being promoted, and it is 4 hrs. away. We get to see them every now and then. They now have 3 daughters and I had not seen the lastest one that was born in Nov.
Well, Mom and the 3 girls showed up today and it was a great visit. The girls are all darling and getting big. I was very sad to see them leave.

Take care and have a great weekend!

This was very easy to do. I think I will stick with this blog site.

Swaps completed!

Well, I finally finshed my Tech. swaps and shipped them out yesterday. I had to change one of my tech choices from bleaching to kissing, because I had major problems with bleaching. I could not for the life of me get it to work right. I stamped an image, then embossed it, and painted bleach over the top, hoping to bleach out the neg. space. It didn't work, it just made the inked image bleed and bleached it out. Very strange.

Then I tried using a bleach pen and stamping an image with bleach and all it did was dry.

So I changed to the kissing tech. which truned out very cool!

Thanks for reading!

Loving the weekend!

I am so eager for the weekend to start. It should be a relaxing one....FINALLY!
I am going to the winery tonight with my parents and other family.

My daughter and I are spending most of Sat. with some friends, we are going to see some exotic animals at a local animal farm (I will get to pet Llamas (I love Llamas!) and see kangaroos, and a giraffe!) Not common animals to Ohio.

Sunday myself, daughter and my Mom are cooking breakfast at the VFW for all of the Father's and then I will spend the day creating paper crafts and having a cookout with Dad!

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT weekend!

My first post :0)

Welcome to my first blog post!
Well, what am I creating at this time????

I am working on a technique swap: I have 3 categories that I am creating and I have to make 11 of each one.
Punches (I have finished this one), Toilet Paper casting (I am currently waiting for my TP to dry LOL) and Bleaching (I have a really great design for this one.)

I am involved in an ongoing Card Puzzler swap. This has been so much fun. Someone sends you pieces to a card and you try to figure out what matches their design. It is great to see what all of the other ladies come up with. Everyone is so creative.

I will post pics of my first 2 cards and the punches technique card ater this week.
