Episode #238 ~ "Super Simple Sunday" Unlock Your Dreams Graduation Card


Hi Everyone,
Happy Sunday friends... Just a quick video for my "Super Simple Sunday" Series. In this episode, I am making a Graduation card for a sweet young lady who is Graduating from college. I also made a Graduation Mini Album for her, but I didn't make a video on it. I guess it just didn't seem that thrilling to me.
I am sure you all are as crazy, busy as we are with all the parties coming up! Try to take a moment & really enjoy them. Sometimes we get so caught up in the details, that we forget to enjoy the event themselves.
Big Huggs,

Episode #27 ~ "Use It or Lose It!" Congratulations Graduate!



Happy Thursday Everyone,
In today's video, I share with you how I made a really cute Graduation Card/ Gift Box that I made for our son's girlfriend. She is Graduating this year & we are giving her cash, but I didn't want to just put it in a money envelope. These would also make cute party favors, just sayin'...
I hope this gives you some ideas, I know how busy we all are with Graduations, Weddings, Baby Showers & all sort of occassions. Handmade gifts are always the BEST!
Big Huggs,

Episode #236 ~ A "Tweet" Birdhouse



Hello friends,
I wanted to share the finished product of the birdhouse that I altered... I picked up these plain, unpainted birdhouses in the craft section at WalMart. They are very reasonable & make fabulous gifts! I hope this give you some inspiration & perhaps you can some one for your home or patio.
~ Enjoy ~



Episode #235 ~ A RAK from Teriberi Arrives!



Hi there crafty friends,
Well.. another rainy yucky day in New Jersey, perfect for crafting though! Check out what came in the mail today ~ it's from the super sweet Miss Teri Beri (on YouTube). She altered one of these dress forms & I just fell in love with it. I messaged her telling her what a fabulous job she did & asked where it could be found in Michael's. Before I knew it, she offered to send me an extra one that she had picked up! Isn't that so sweet? Honestly, this truely is the greatest community, crafting family on YouTube or anywhere!!!
Now I am super excited to start this project for my daughter, I think she will really like it...
Happy Huggs,

Episode #233 "LSH" Mini Album Swap



Hi Everyone,
I hope you are having a fantabulous Thursday, I know I am! Just about finished cleaning the house & then going to meet the author of the book "The Red Thread" which I highly recommend!!! It's really a wonderful evening with wine, cheese, friends & chatting with the author.
In this video, I am sharing the mini album I made for the swap I am in over at LSH (Little Scrap of Heaven). I can't wait to see the mini I will recieve & if you haven't gotten in on a swap of some kind, jump in! They are really alot of fun... It is important though to make sure that you can follow through & have the project turned in by the deadline.
Have a sun-shiney rest of your Thursday & I will be back soon with some cute new projects~
Big Huggs,

Happy Mother's Day!
I hope all of you are having a peaceful and relaxing day ~ We are off to church shortly and I brought our daughter to the early service because the "kids" are doing both services today. I can't wait to get there and our youngest is ushering. So cute!
But, the best news is, my scrubby and college age son made it home safe and sound at 1:30 am this morning. Woo-Hoo!!! The sun is shining and it is going to be a wonderful day, I love having all my kids home.
My today be a meaningful one for you and lets not forget all our 4-legged furry babies as well.
Happy Mother's Day,
