Life in my little Stampin' Studio sort of feels like a whirlwind at the moment. So much is coming up - it gets easy to get overwhelmed....I am looking forward to the day when I am finally a bit ahead of the game instead of still working toward what is coming up. There is so much in store - and because I am working on all of THAT - keeping the social media game up to date....well, that is what suffers. So, today, I have a pretty for you - and then starting next week - the plan … [Read more...] about A Shiplap Feeling of Christmas!

And will be going to … [Read more...] about Hoppin' into the Pumpkin Patch – Last day of the Blog Hop
An experiment in cuteness: Test Tubes Day 4 of our Blog Hop
Today we are taking test tubes out of the science lab and into the craft room! The real test here is finding the cleverest little things that you can fit inside them....I wanted to put something in mine besides tiny candies - I do have some splintered cinnamon sticks - so that was one option. I suffer from migraines and I carry a pouch of peppermint beads in my purse. When you feel a migraine coming on they can help if you smell them. I looked online, but they are pricey … [Read more...] about An experiment in cuteness: Test Tubes Day 4 of our Blog Hop
Cat Punch revisited – Blog Hop Day 3
Welcome to Day 3 of the Product Blog Hop. Today we are sharing some more ideas to use with the Cat Punch. I just have one card for you today - and it is super simple!
