Make yourself a list of things for the week. Be consistent! And you can always set posts up ahead of time if you know you are going to be away. Or when you don't have the time and no time to make time you have a post ready to go. I can honestly say, making time for myself to do what I love has improved my relationships with my household. The expression is true. "If momma ain't happy, ain't no one happy." LOL Good luck to you!


I had a very tough time deciding, cuz you all gave such great advice! thank you all so much!

Kimberly I will need you to email me with your snail addy so I can get your prize out to you.

thanks again!

vinatge vouge-Blog candy

So Sorry I have been MIA for so long... I am not sure how so many of you work a "day" job and have the time to be super creative all week! I suppose it will take some getting used too! I am going to try to do better!!! I really have missed sharing my fun creations with you! ( although I have not made alot lately!)
BUT anyway here is one that I can share,

I made using some of the retired paper, Cottage wall and one of my favorite sets, Vintage Vogue.

SO if you have any tips on better time management for me, please share... Remember that I do have 4 boys, and work outside the home now.
Best tip will win some BLOG candy a huge assortment of great ribbons from years past....
So get to sharing your Ideas.... and don't forget to leave your email- or how will I tell you that you won?
winner will be annouced on Friday Aug. 6th

Project Mondays 2-15-10

And Blog candy!

For this weeks project I wanted to do something a little different, I have been loving working with fabric, as I am a quilter too.. I love fabric, so anything to incorporate fabric into my stamping makes me happy!
To start this weeks Project I got out my Basket and Blooms XL die from Stampin' Up! and ran 2 pieces of felt ( I used off white) through at once. I knew I would want to make more than one, lol!


For this project I only needed the basket pieces. I put the others away for use on something else.

I folded a small piece of pink felt in half and placed it over the small butterfly on the Bigz Beautiful Butterflies die from Stampin' Up! and ran it through the Big Shot.

I placed a butterfly on the basket where I wanted it and stitched it in place using lavender floss ( 2 strands) Then I used a pen to lightly draw my antennae.

I used 3 small off white pearls from the Pretties kit from Stampin' Up! and stitched them on for the body, then stitched the antennae.

I used a bright pink floss to stitch up the basket. I did on side at a time, then I stitched the bottom on.




as you can see from this photo I added a butterfly to both sides of this basket... I will only add one the any others that I make... I was having so much fun that I wanted it to be pretty from both sides!

and the Finished project, I am excited to make more of these for Easter!!

What do you think? do you like it? do you want it? Leave a comment and on Friday ( 2-19-10) I will draw one lucky person will win this basket!

Thanks for stopping by
