Bring on the BLING!!!

Happy Saturday Friends,

I just wanted to share with all of you my sparkly, blingy fantastic nails.

The minute I tried Colo Street Nail Polish Strips I knew I had to be apart of this revolutionary company!

If you didn’t know, I am a Licensed Nail Technician and have been for over 30 years. Before, during and after my career in Radio...

Keeping nail polish on natural nails was always a struggle forever especially for clients that wash their hands as much as I do and clean their homes, laundry etc.

Until now ...


Color Street Nail Strips are 100% Real Nail Polish and are completely safe for natural, acrylic and gel nails. They get removed as you would normally remove your polish with nail polish remover. 

They can be applied anywhere, anytime I applied my first time in the car driving to Milwaukee ( Bob was driving of course, lol).

You can do a manicure in less then 10 minutes, there is NO drytime, no smudging, the  Polish is already dry! You don’t even need a nail file! 


I wish these were around 30 years ago, they are absolutely BRILLIANT!!! No heater or gel overlay, no stickers - none of that nonsense. Just 100% Real Nail Polish and I love them!

Color Street launched 7 months ago and to say I am in on the ground floor is an understatement, I am in in the basement!!!

You can check out the beautiful colors and designs at my online store.

Your welcome (lol...)

Beautiful Butterfly ~

Look at how simply stunning this beautiful card is that was made and sent me by my special stampy sister Lisa Lange.

It’s really cool how the butterfly keeps the card closed and when slid through the opening it opens the card to reveal the sentiment - brilliant!!!

Lisa is such a talented artist really and an even kinder person, I am so blessed to call her my friend.


Happy Hugs,

Greetings Happy Stampers,
Spring is finally here in Chicago and boy am I looking forward to it! I ahd a chance to get in my craft room today and I really wanted to make the adorable projects on my Paper Pumpkin Kit. If you don't know, Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription kit that comes directly to your front door with everything contained in it to make super cute projects. It costs just $19.95 a month and that's WITH delivery included - yippee!
These sweet box of notecards is just precious and being that we used to live in New Jersey and head to the shore as often as possible, this exclusive stamp set really spoke to me.

Made it to Milwaukee OnStage!!!

Hi Everyone,

Well we made it to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for Stampin’ Up! OnStage and I couldn’t be more excited! 

My family on my Mother’s side are from Milwaukee so I have spent a lot of time here and have so many special memories. My scrubby Bob (Scrapbooking Hubby) drive me up here so we are checked into our room which we were lucky enough to have upgraded to a large suite at no extra charge - yippee!

We are heading off to dinner at a fabulous place near my Grandmother’s house right on Lake Michigan.


Here is a picture of my Swap Card that I created, I love this GOJUS Flamingo and cant wait to get my hands on the *New* Catalog that  will debut June 1st! 


I am anxious to be able to Pre-Order some of the products too!

This picture of the huge clock, used to be on the Bradley Building not sure what it’s called now - but this is the largest “Faced” clock (not the largest, that goes to Big Ben In London) this clock has the largest face. Each minute tick mark is over 6 feet tall! Just some fun trivia for you from my childhood.

I’ll share all my swaps when we get back on Sunday, I wish all of you reading this could be here with me and all the demonstrators from all over the Midwest.

Happy Hugs,
