I made this a while back but I'm not sure how many people have actually seen it. I tend to store it in my basket of samples when I go to Stampin' Up! parties and classes and then forget to take it out. I actually made this bracelet using accessories from the pretties kit, styled silver hodgepodge hardware and filigree brads. Those great accessories along with some jump rings and a fastener from Walmart worked great! It's a little something different but I thought you might like to see it. The ribbon assortment is available for one more day. As of writing this, I have 17 people Continue reading
Missouri, Alabama and Alaska
I like to see where people are visiting my site from. I see I've even had visits from Europe, Asia and Australia. How fun! Unfortunately, I have yet to have anyone visit from Missouri, Alabama and Alaska. Do you know anyone in one of those states? I would love for you to share my website with them so I can see all 50 states colored green on the analytics map! The assortment of taffeta ribbon swap seems to be well like. If you are interested in participating and have not yet contacted me, please do so by Wednesday, Feb. 11. I will be placing the order after that time. My husband has Continue reading
Turning "trash" into treasure
A friend recently gave me three little glass jars figuring I could come up with a neat idea for them. Well, this is what I came up with. These little jars used to hold maple syrup from Cracker Barrel. (You know, the cute little bottles with real maple syrup in them.) Now, they (or at least the two I've decorated so far) are bud vases. I am guessing these jars hold about an ounce of syrup although I took off the label and threw it away before thinking about wanting to know that information. I'm not sure if you can tell in the picture, but there are tear drop forms in the glass as well as Continue reading
Ladybug created with Stampin' Up!s Top Note die
With Valentines Day coming before long, I'm trying to share a few creative ideas with you. These are great for your family members, fiends of your children, or even your coworkers. The ladybug pictured here has hershey kisses. This cute little lady was made using the Top Note die for the Big Shot. The Top Note die is exclusive to Stampin' Up! and cannot be found in stores. Circle punches of various sizes and the Heart to Heart punch were used for the spots and face. I think she's just adorable! Unfortunately this was not my idea. Once again, this is a project we made at the RAD event Continue reading
January 23 PMS Night Reminder
Don't forget we're having a PMS night tomorrow, Friday January 23, at my house in Stewartstown, PA. We will begin at 6:30 and go until 9:30 P.M. There is a cost of $5 as I am planning to feed you pizza, homemade muffins, dip and crackers, chips, soda and hopefully homemade chocolate chip cookies! Speaking of Chocolate Chip, this is a cute little backpack we made at a RAD trip I won in December from one of my upline. We used Chocolate Chip Designer Series Paper and a Filigree Brad. You can't see the back but we used ribbon to create the backpack straps in the back and attached them with Continue reading
Frappuccino bottles and stamping
Do you drink Starbucks Frappuccinos like those pictured here? I am looking for some of these bottles and cartons so I can show you a really neat idea. If you live near Stewartstown, PA and would be willing to give me some of these empty bottles/cartons please contact me. You'll be happy you did! (I don't drink coffee or anything with a hint of coffee taste so that might explain why I'm looking for someone who drinks these.) I am in the process of getting a class planned that will show you how to recycle items in your home to make gifts and cute decorative items in your own home. You Continue reading

Decorating a plate for every season
This is a simple plate that I have spiced up to display in my house. I am going to have a different face for that same plate each month plus some extras for birthdays and other special events. After the month is over, it will be very easy to remove the decorative part and make it into a scrapbook page if desired or save them to use again next year. Would you like to make a set of these as well? I am going to be opening up some of events to make these as an addon. We will make the circles 5 at a time and I will try to offer several different opportunities when you can come and put them Continue reading
Valentine Bear Coupons
I made this cute little project at a demonstrator event held by one of my upline members in December. Isn't he cute? I never would have thought to put the bear from Under the Stars into a valentine of any sort. The little white pail can be found in packs of three at the Dollar Tree in the wedding section and then the little coupons were printed up on the computer and mounted onto Real Red cardstock. The valentine is bundled up into a cello bag witha topper using the Love standard wheel and the Holidays & Wishes stamp set. I hope this will give you a little inspiration as you think of Continue reading
