Happy Hump Day!
I hope you are enjoying your summer.. Time is REALLY flying by! Before you know it school is going to start again! I know… bite my tongue right? I had created this card for a Kindergarten teacher team to hand out during open house in May. Each were handed out along with a pack of microwave popcorn. My friend Julie came up with the concept and I brought her concept to fruitition! I was so  honored that she asked me to do it! I hope you are able to take some time and enjoy the weather before it gets too hot! 

I hope you have a wonderfully CREATIVE day!

Happy Monday! Summer is HERE! I am so glad that school is out for my kids and summer is here! We just got back from San Diego visiting my Uncle. It was beautiful weather there and it is now just as nice here back in LA! I hope you are having a wonderful day and have some exciting plans for the summer. I hope to make rock candy with my boys, enjoy the  beach, get creative, sell some stuff and a few other things. What are YOU going to do? I would love to hear about it!

I hope you have a wonderfully CREATIVE day!

Hi Creative Friends!

This week is being recognized as teacher appreciation week in our area. Some schools celebrate it during various weeks this month but typically during May. I have created a few simple thank you cards for teachers. I used Becky Higgins discontinued “School Kit” papers, tag and label, a thank you sentiment is from 7 Gypsies, ink from Memento, and Bakers Twine from The Twinery. Below there are two of the five cards I created and in total they took me about 20 minutes. 

If you would like to see the rest of my cards, please check out my 
Facebook page .  These cards are a GREAT way to use up some of your scraps.
 I don’t know about  you but I am ALWAYS looking for ways to do that!
 I hope you enjoyed the projects and have a wonderful weekend!

Getting ready to go home from my visit helping my Uncle after his kidney and tumor surgery. He is doing REALLY well and I am SO thankful! VERY BLESSED! Time to get back home and get some stuff done 🙂

A question for you: If you were to purchase stamps, what kind would they be? Themed? Phrases/greetings or a combo? What would you most be interested in? I look forward to your responses 🙂

Hi Blogging Friends,
I hope you are having a wonderful evening! I just finished painting my sons trim and my husband will go thru and use our Wagner Power Roller and fill it in. We have had our power roller since 1995 and YES it’s the SAME ONE! Worth every penny! I think we paid $150ish for it… we sure have gotten our monies worth 🙂 What home or crafty projects are you working on? 
I hope you have a wonderfully CREATIVE day!
