Mini Note Cards Created with Bazzill Cardstock,  Stampin Up White Cardstock,  Amuse Stamp(Tree), Savvy Stamps(XOXO), Momento Ink, Copic Marker, Fiskars Heart Punch, Tweezers and lots of patience!

So back to my obsession with Valentines.  I have a ton of  little projects in the works.  Here is one of the first I completed.  I thought this was going to be so simple really.  So why not do multiples.  Then I got down to it and it took forever to glue these little punched hearts on.  Oh well I love them they are so sweet!  But 12 was my limit!   These went into my Shop, but I'm contemplating taking them out and using them myself.

How was your Monday?

Card uses AC Paper, Bazzill Cardstock, Various Ribbons, Schlosser Designs Stamps(Greeting)

My day was GREAT.  The kids were back in school, Dave was off to work.  I was alone in the silence.  I completed 17 cards today very productive indeed!  To be fair a bunch were all the same for sets and I had colored the images last night in front of the TV but still I cut, assembled, embellished and bagged them up.  Then I started in on Valentines because well I'm a little obsessed with valentines at the moment.  I still have to photograph what I did today but I am sharing with you a card for my Ribbon Round Up Class.  We're using Ribbon in non-Traditional Ribbon to Card applicaitons.  Hmmm have to think of a better way to say that!

So anyway how was your Monday?  Hope you had a wonderful start for your week!

Out with the Old!

How we spend our New Year Time.  We smash up the Gingerbread House.  The girls kept asking when they could smash the house down.  This year due to a serious Christmas Cookie shortage in our house (which I equate to just not having time to bake at all) the house almost didn't make it to this point.   Everyone was eating it way to quickly, they almost ate it all up! Notice there is really  no candy left!  But alas it made it to the last day and Daddy brought out the hammers.  Then the real fun began!  Who knew the tearing down would be almost as much fun as putting it  up!   It's a fun if not odd family tradition in our house!  We're silly that way!

Have a great Sunday!  Back to the real world tomorrow!

Ahhhh Winter Is Still Here

New Store Banner made with Spellbinders Nesties, AC Glitter Paper, BoBunny Double Dots, Storybook Cricut Cartridge and Maya Rd. Ribbon.

So today begins a big crazy clearance sale at the store.  I'm off to fill up the classroom with clearance merchandise to ready it for the arrival of customer!  Woo Hoo!  Then it's back home to start taking down Christmas stuff.  Abbi doesn't understand why it's still Winter now that the Holiday's are over.  Oh poor Chicago baby doesn't understand how long winter actually is here!  EEEK!   

Anyhoo after all of that I will continue to work on Valentines for the shop and some swap items for this month.  Gotta figure out my ATC swap for this month I have a couple ideas I just have to try them out for actual doability!  Hmmm is that a word?  I have grand ideas usually they are not actually possible!  HA

Hope your enjoying your weekend!

Happy New Year!

Here's Wishing Everyone a Happy Healthy Safe 2010! 

The girls enjoyed staying up until midnight as you can see.  The noise makers finally came out.  EEEEK!  We had fun though!  We snacked on finger foods and chocolate cake all night and rang in the new year on Anmial Crossing the girls new favorite game!   Today was just cleaning and getting stuff done around the house!  I almost think the girls are ready to go back to school!  Did I really say that?

Hope everyone had a great New Years Eve and is having a great start to their New Year!

An Absolutely Awesome Christmas Eve Gift

Ok every year on Christmas Eve I give my family new PJ's.  I try to make them coordinate etc.  I blame my  Mom for the coordinating thing!  She's knows she did it to us.  Anyway every year the pj's I buy don't fit and are usually toooooo big, mostly because the girls are just so stinkin tiny in the waist I have a hard time finding things that fit them and look cute.  So this year I gave up the coordinating thing and went for things that are their favorites. On ETSY I found the above pair of PJ's for Abbi my little dancer and asked Angie at meandmydoll to create a pair with bright green, Emily's favorite color!   Angie was amazing to work with even with my wacky requests for not to girly but green and sizing then my special shipping requests.   When the box arrived I was so excited.  I loved these PJ's and they came with matching PJ's for their AG dolls!  How cute is that.  They were excited but wary to open their packages and try them on.  So they came down all cute with matching dolls(I love this I'll be sad when it ends).  In the end they really couldn't complain about the fit they were perfect.  So perfect in fact that the girls didn't change out of them all day on Christmas Day!  It was my first successful Christmas PJ gift since the girls started getting so picky about the way things fit! I'm so ecstatic that they worked out and recommend these to anyone interested in PJ's, t-shirts, headbands etc. MeAndMyDoll.
