Just a little "quicky"

Just been doing some things around here and there...went down to the ocean this past weekend for a convention...it's was cool, but different from past years of ones that I've gone too...but I did get to meet a couple girls that just opened a store down where I work...I loved their products that they offered at the convention too...not to mention, they loved my purse that I had made...we were chatting abit and I had mentioned that I was an instructor and loved to teach classes...so she mentioned that I should stop by and we can discuss maybe teaching in her store....woohoo...that would be great...

This coming weekend is our anniversary and my birthday...we are bak off to the ocean again to celebrate together...so it'll be a fun time...

Here's a few projects that I've worked on this past week or so....

It's a rainy day

I'm sitting here searching the net and trying to catch up on some friends...this Saturday will be my first day off in about 4 weeks now, and I am sooooooo looking forward to it. Then I go to just working Mondays thru Fridays...and that my friend is such a welcome change. I will get to hang out with my family on the weekends and not be sooo tired. Not much to say so here's a little book that I made for our newest grandbaby Makayla....I used the Cricut machine with the Pooh and Friends font. All of the little pooh babies are on the cart and I just thought they were so adorable...Thank you goes out to Jody and Brad for sending this to me...I LOVE IT!!!! Here's their web addy if you'd like to go and take a peek at their site. They have a great place to shop and they are just the quickest to get the orders out to their customers... http://www.hallmarkscrapbook.com/ Here's the little 6X6 book that I"m going to send my daughter so she can add photos and journaling...I hope that she like's it..you can click on each photo to get a bigger picture... Well I hope everyone has a wonderful day.. Hugs from Charm City

It's a Beautiful Tuesday Morning

Happy Tuesday....it's really early here...I've been up since about 11:45pm working....so I' am a bit tired this morning, but I wanted to do an update here before I went off to bed.

Here's the set I made for the BBTB blog for the first week of being her guest designer....

Let's get Together Set

The challenge was to use the mug from the Christmas Cheer cart from the Cricut machine. Take a gander over and see what all of the awesom designers came up with. Their designs are just so creative and lovely....

Yesterday I took my mother and daughter to lunch at this Japenese steak house for lunch...it was jsut awesom...the food was outstanding, not to mention the show that they do at the grill that's in front of you...we had a perfect time together...and we even made it to Joanns for alittle shopping...

I just wanted togive a shout out to a few freinds and family for their birthdays...

Our little grandbabies Bayleigh and Noah---sorry that we couldn't be there to help celebrate your birthday....we miss you very much and can't wait to see you...

And to my nephew Christopher who is in the Army in Texas right now. Happy Birthday Chris. We miss and love you to...

And to a dear friend who has been since I first started coming onto the internet way back when. We met over at CKMB site...Happy Birthday Bonnie...sorry you couldn't open the e-card I had sent you....I'm hoping that I can make the New Jersey show, but it's not looking like I'll be able to. I might just be a last minute thing though....

Well need to run and get some shut eye. My eyelids are very heavy.

Hugs from a very pretty day in Charm City

It's a Cold Day in Charm City

Today is really cold outside for the end of April. Even though I have my window open here in my studio, I love the crispness of the air that is coming in through the window. I guess it stems back from growing up in Michigan. How cold it is there and how warm it is here. A total difference. Most winters here in MD, I don't need anything other than a windbreaker. But back home you need a full fledge winter attire...lol...I really do miss our winters there where we could play in the snow from November till the beginning of April/May. ...ok, enough of my ramblins...

I have been asked to be a guest designer (for May) from Regina for Bitten By the Bug....she is an awesom person not to mention artist...I soo love how she can just pull things together so...the colors and creativity are just awesom....If you get a chance, take a gander over to her site and check it out. And if you have time, play along with the challenges with all of us. It's going to be so fun...

I'm in the middle of trying to get a few frames made for our daughter and significant other. ..they gave these to me back in October of last year. ..yes, last year and I really haven't done much...so I vow that I will finish these with in the next week so they can add them to their BLANK wall.....they have been patiently waiting...

Here's a few things that I've made lately for the Hallmark Scrapbook site that I design for...

here's their website too http://www.hallmarkscrapbook.com/

the first one I made for the owners for all that they have done for all of us designers...they are just the sweetest people to work for...not to mention,they are so fast on their shipping when placing an order....go and check them out...I know that you won't be disappointed....

I made this from scratch....I took the idea of a coupon folder and made a big one ...I also made little scrapbook pages that they can add their own family photos and journaling...if you'd like to see the inside pages, I posted them on the site and you can go and take a peek...
