Hi Creative Friends!

This week is being recognized as teacher appreciation week in our area. Some schools celebrate it during various weeks this month but typically during May. I have created a few simple thank you cards for teachers. I used Becky Higgins discontinued "School Kit" papers, tag and label, a thank you sentiment is from 7 Gypsies, ink from Memento, and Bakers Twine from The Twinery. Below there are two of the five cards I created and in total they took me about 20 minutes. 

If you would like to see the rest of my cards, please check out my 
Facebook page .  These cards are a GREAT way to use up some of your scraps.
 I don't know about  you but I am ALWAYS looking for ways to do that!
 I hope you enjoyed the projects and have a wonderful weekend! 







I hope you have a wonderfully CREATIVE day!

Getting ready to go home from my visit helping my Uncle after his kidney and tumor surgery. He is doing REALLY well and I am SO thankful! VERY BLESSED! Time to get back home and get some stuff done :)

A question for you: If you were to purchase stamps, what kind would they be? Themed? Phrases/greetings or a combo? What would you most be interested in? I look forward to your responses :)


I hope you have a wonderfully CREATIVE day!

One of the sweetest and most talented online friends I know was so sweet and kind enough to send me a creation she made just for me! Sandy is so talented and I am in awe of her generosity! She works for Imaginations and is UBER TALENTED! As a crafter, I know her heart and soul was put into this beautiful creation and I am honored that she chose ME to have it! Below I have posted a picture of it but if you want to read the full story, check out her blog and show her some love HERE  :) Have a wonderful day!

Hi Blogging Friends,
I hope you are having a wonderful evening! I just finished painting my sons trim and my husband will go thru and use our Wagner Power Roller and fill it in. We have had our power roller since 1995 and YES it's the SAME ONE! Worth every penny! I think we paid $150ish for it... we sure have gotten our monies worth :) What home or crafty projects are you working on? 
I hope you have a wonderfully CREATIVE day!

I hope you are having a wonderful afternoon. Here in California it is 51 degrees and WINDY!!  I LOVE IT! It reminds me of home back in Chicago. I have been doing a lot of organizing photos and deleting ones that I don't want anymore. Do you have a specific way you take care of  your digital pictures or items? Please share as I would love to hear what you do that works for you! Have a wonderful week! :)
