Occasions Mini Delights....

I love it when Stampin' Up! creates a punch and stamp set that coordinate - Don't forget that these beautiful Build a Blossom items are available in the current Occasions Mini 2011 which ends with the end of April, so there are only a few more days left of Occasions Mini 2011.

I love the FREE Sale-A-Bration Punch Bunch stamp set don't you?

I can just imagine the smile on Shirley's face as she created this heartfelt swap for our recent stamp club. I love the way she cut the front of the card at an angle to reveal a hint of the warm wishes inside!

Sweet Translucent Evelope Book

Just before Christmas our stamp club had a wonderful gathering and we all shared sweet treats that we'd made - everyone wanted each other's recipes and so we decided that our first project of 2011 would be a recipe book where we could share all our wonderful ideas.

We used our fabulous new build a cupcake punch, along with FREE Sale-A-Bration ribbon, buttons and Designer Paper - Have you earned your FREE Sale-A-Bration goodies yet?

Click HERE to find out how!

Each member of the group brought along a picture of their treat and the recipe and now we have a wonderful collection of recipes to go along with our special memories of our Holiday 2010 gathering.

My next plan is to make some of these cut books for new moms, so that they can create simple but special memory books.

Thank you as always to my wonderful stamp club - you inspire me every day!

On a personal note, please accept my apologies for the lack of posts this year. We began homeschooling our son in January and so life has been a little different. Home school is going really well and the biggest and most unexpected bonus has been a huge improvement in our little man's health.

I promise to try and update my blog more often as we settle into our new routine! Thank you to everyone who has called, emailed and written to offer their support and understanding, it means the world to us!

Gift Tags With Space To Write In......

One of the things that always bothered me was when I used to write on gift tags, there was never enough space to write a message and as our family grew, there wasn't even enough room for all the names..........


.... Problem solved, I make my own and I can coordinate them with my parcels depending on the color paper I'm using - it's easy to change them up a little with some glitter here, a different ribbon there, or an extra layer of card and they are soooooo easy to make.

We usually give our teachers a sweet treat as their Christmas gift, but this year we're going to make packets of tags for each of them - I can't wait to give them this special Thank You!

Oh yes and we're making them at stamp club tomorrow, along with our gift card holders.

I love my Aqua Painter

Aqua Painter - Page 19 #103954 $16.95

You would think that my favorite use for our Aqua Painter would be something really creative wouldn't you?

No, not a bit of it - I love it because it's perfect for envelops. I don't have to lick them down any more, I just use my trusty Aqua Painter and the job is a breeze!

I've been meaning to show you this......

Each year when we trick or treat, the children visit a particular house. Last year they were introduced to a new kitten called Pearl. This year they made a treat to take for Pearl.
