Valentine's is quickly approaching. As an activity for the Young Women in our church, we made Valentine cards to give to residents of a local nursing home. In preparation and with some help of my good friend Debra, we are delighted to share some of our creations. :)

it's all about the 'family'

2009-10-30T14:01:00.000-07:00

I must admit I haven't been doing much designing lately, even though there is not a lack of ideas in my head. I have spent my time adjusting to our new area, painting (I have a lot more to do), scouts, chauffeuring my children to and from school, organizing - everything but designing.I have managed to do a little scrapbooking and I did manage to make this 'family' frame.You can add a touch of

hi from houston!

We made it - we survived the big move. We're still unpacking and trying to tame the mess. Look at this beautiful spider we found on our back fence. I'm sure I would not think it was so beautiful if I found it in the house.

valentine's

It's Valentine week at our house!I made a woven heart basket for my husband and each of our children to hang on their doorknobs. Each day I will give them a small treat or a special note.So far my children have loved the chocolates. And I know my husband will not object to receiving a few little love notes.

time flies

2009-01-21T19:19:00.000-08:00

This is my third attempt to post a few words. I first tried at the beginning of the month, then again a week later and wow here we are now, the month has almost flown by. Thinking back on 2008 I feel the same way, the year has flown by. I realize that setting goals has never been more important to me than at this time. I don't want the time to just fly by. I want to be the super fun mom I always

Fall has definitely arrived. The other day it was cold and rainy, it was the perfect day to stay inside and make the house smell wonderful with freshly baked homemade bread. So that's what I did. I have also been creating beautiful place settings with my fall splendor line (of course) for Thanksgiving Dinner. Here's a sneak peek....

recycle, regift & rejoice with this itty bitty purse and album.The purse was made from a soap package I found at Pier 1.It measures just 2 1/2" x 2 1/2".The itty bitty album was made by cutting 2 strips of card stock 2" high. I scored each strip at 2" intervals leaving enough room on one of the strips for the flap that folds to the front. On the strip with the flap, at the end of the last score,

This is our stick family. I had to LOL while creating this, it was a ton of fun. I like a little nonsense once in a while, it keeps life interesting. Click on the picture and make one of your family.

Ice Cream

2008-05-08T20:53:00.000-07:00

This has nothing to do with scrapbooking, but I couldn't resist, it's a fun quiz. I do like vanilla ice cream, however my favorite ice cream is not ice cream at all. I love Haagen-Dazs Raspberry Sorbet.The personality was right-on - too funny. Take the quiz and see what flavor you are.
