done!

Amber Moon Gratitude Journal!
lots of pockets, flaps and places to tuck notes inside.
fun closures and hidden spots, too.

And I still have enough paper for some cards!  I really do enjoy using the A-4 paper pads!
Watch for this to be for sale at my next Pop up market in September!

And, an oxymoron for you:  last night we cooled off in our hot tub!

a little to show

slowly getting back into the swing of things.
felt.......

die cuts, watercolor and glitter.....

that's it for now.

rain.......

we made it back to Tucson safely - dodged some pretty big storms but luck was on our side!
Monsoon season started yesterday and the rains began, much needed rain, and cooler temperatures.

I've been at work and there is a good chance I may never have to look for my ruler, glue, scissors and other tools again.  I may even remember to use my washi tape, too.

How do you like it?

thanks!!

It's been wonderful seeing everyone here!!
Thanks to all of you for taking part in my classes at Scrappy Chic.
We have two more to go and they are now full/closed.

Watch for more in the Fall. I can hardly wait!

guilty.....

Once again I am guilty of trying to cram too much into a class.  I just want to make sure everyone gets their moneys worth. We did run longer and we didn't quite get the lid made for the last box.
But I think everyone left with new packaging ideas and projects.  One of the best things is all the sharing of ideas for using the projects. 
They became ornaments, jack-o-lanterns, Easter eggs and even shadow boxes.  There was so much creativity going on....I loved it!

Next week is Framed and yes I will have more ideas for using the basic pattern.  And I know all the class participants will offer even more.  There may still be a few spots open. I guarantee you will get your moneys worth and more!!

 If you are planning to attend, just send me an email or comment below and I will send more info.

oh, I did check out the artist trading coins:  usually 2.5 circles so they fit into ATC folders.  Other than that, anything goes!!

artist trading coins?

anyone heard of them?
looks like they're small round atcs
I'm gonna do a little research during nap #2 today.
Will I be seeing you tomorrow at class?  hope so!

but I didn't bring my winter coat!!

The calendar says May 21!!!!
The weather conditions might say April 21!!

Freezing here.  How about you?

all's quiet on the michigan front

Well this has been a very interesting month of May so far........waiting for the sun as I'm sure everyone is. 
There are a few spots left in some classes at Scrappy Chic if you are interested.
Keeping our faces upward, just in case....

box in a card....

these have intrigued me for a while now.  I had some time before packing everything up so I decided to give it a try.

and another....

a little gift box sits right in the card.  This view may help:

so cute and easy, too.  I'm all set for Mothers and Fathers Day now!  Well, I have to fill the little boxes.  And some Hershey nuggets should do nicely.

And here is a project I will be working on for a few days.

it may be a class in the fall....

And one more book to be added to the trunk sale in a few weeks.

I still love Jenni Bowlin paper!
