Happy Birthday Bag

This is a simple gift bag I put together for my friend. She wanted something to put her mother's gift in and I whipped this up. I just love Old Olive...it's my "go to" color.

Aloha...

It's been over 2 weeks since I returned from Hawaii. I can't believe how quickly time flies, especially when you come home and get so busy with life. It was a great trip! I made myself relax and not plan ANYTHING! I need to do that every now and then so that way I refocus on what is most important. Looking around at all of the things that God has blessed me with including a wonderful husband, two great kids, a home and all of life's necessities. WOW! Thank you God for everything...just typing that brings a tear to my eye! God is so good!!! Here are a few pictures from our fantastic vacation to the island of Kauai!

I promise to post at least 2 or more times a week. My next post will be some of the projects I have been working on lately. Lots of good stuff!! :)

It's Scrapbook Calendar Time!!!

(By the way...these photos are from last year's calendar.)

It's time to place your orders for the annual scrapbook calendar.
This year I will need all orders by
August 25th.
Kits are available for you to assemble them at home.
OR
The party for Jan.-June is tentatively scheduled for September 20th in the afternoon and the July-Dec. date will be determined at the first meeting and will be for sometime in October.

So...when you place your order I'll need to know these things:
-How many will you be making?
-Do you want a kit or do you plan to attend the party?

The cost for each calendar is $25. You will get a discount if you order 3 or more. Don't forget you'll need to provide your own adhesive for the project.

Simple "Thank You"

All you need is a circle punch and a stamp....then you have a card. Here are 2 versions of the same card.

Stamp Camp

Here are the projects that we made at my last stamp camp. We used many different techniques and lots of new products. We had a great time stamping until all hours of the night! Thanks ladies for a fun time!!

Unusual Bug!

Well, we had a creepy little friend hanging out on our porch tonight. He is really pretty. Apparently it's just another version of a June bug. The regular June bugs that visit Southern California each year are about 1/4 this guys size and they are a nice brownish red color. I like them. Although they are blind and fly aimlessly around you and they stick to you when they land. They aren't harmful, just a reminder that summertime is here.
Sure wish the boys were awake to see this one. It's pretty cool! Maybe it'll still be here in the morning.

Happy Summer!
