The other day I shared a little angel ornament we made a couple years ago. At that time, I said we would be making a version of that angel in our Ornament Class this year. Would you like to see the angel we are making? Continue reading

Wild West Auction Frame II
I've been working away on those blank wooden picture frames to make them into Wild West themed picture frames! I decided to take the second frame in a girly direction, pulling out some retired DSP and embellishments. (You can see my first Wild West picture frame by following the link.) Once again I pulled out the Simply Pressed Clay. I got right to work laboring over some cowgirl boots (not that my "cowgirl boots" look any different than "cowboy boots" mind you). I finally formed them into an acceptable shape and set them out to dry. Back at the picture frame, I was adding finishing Continue reading
Chocolate Stampin’ Up! Tree
I have another Silent Auction goody to share with you today! It's not another frame (still working on that . . . ), this time it's something I made specifically to be bid on. I saw the idea on Pinterest, and then gave it a slight Stampin' Up! twist! Can you already tell it's going to be good by the picture above?! Continue reading
Wild West Auction Frame
My creativity was challenged in a different direction the other day. I was given a plain wooden picture frame to turn into a designer frame, with a Wild West theme. Hmm. . . . I don't tend have paper or stamps bent in that direction . . . First I pulled out some Washi Tapes to cover the frame. Simple, no problem. Then I pulled out some retired twine and glued it around the edges of the frame and then glued some Bakers Twine swirling around. Then . . . uhhhh . . . . hmm . . . . that's where I got stuck. I showed the frame to my husband and he said it needed something cowboyish. Continue reading
Christmas Candle Floral Arrangement
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas with the Christmas Floral Arrangement! I can't begin to tell you how excited I am about this arrangement! I can't wait until the weekend after Thanksgiving when I can put this out for display (well officially, it's already on display in the studio!) We have a lovely entryway in our new home and I am beyond anxious to decorate the entryway for each season! Do you want to see the new arrangement? Get your calendar out and be prepared to reserve a date to make this arrangement! Continue reading

SU! Birthday Treat Box
A friend has a birthday today and I wanted a little treat to give her. I made some cookies last evening so I grabbed a box I have left over from one of my My Paper Pumpkin kits. The box is perfect to fit three little cookies in it, just enough for a little treat at work! I tied on Hello Honey ribbon, made a quick little tag and added one of the extra cute little Autumn Wooden Elements and it's all ready to give! Continue reading
