My New Watch

Thanks to my good friend Sally and her mom, I have a new watch. Sally's mom has tons of beads and jewelry supplies. So we'll get together for a girls night out and go to town! I reworked this watch for a long time to make it just right and I love it! I also learned how to use clamps and tie off the ends with the clamp and wire. I can't wait until we can do this again. I have no supplies myself and it would be a huge investment right now to get set up. I'll stick with stamping!

Bee Card

Sorry the picture is bad. It's really black not gray! It looks so much better in person! I added yellow glitter to the bee for some added interest. I like how it turned out.

Willow Branch Project

I made this back in May and June before we moved. At our Murray apartment, we had tons of willow trees. There are always branches on the ground. I've always wanted to do something with them, but it took awhile to figure out what. Then for mother's day I got some neat plates that were from Target, but purchased at Ross. And I needed a centerpiece to match. I gathered the willow branches, spray painted them with a matte black (1$ at Walmart), and I bought the vase last year at a garage sale for 50 cents. Then I bought the Black marbles and white mix for 1.99 each at Robert's. A very cheap and fun arrangement. It's the only decor we have at our current place because I didn't want to pack it up and worry about the willow branches breaking. So much fun!

A Card!

The picture isn't the best, but I made a card last week! Wahoo! The first in months!
This is using SU's Fifth Avenue Floral set, and the colors are Pixie Pink and Basic Black. The words are a tiny rub on, I didn't have time to emboss something on, which would have looked much better. But I had fun!!

Fun with Photography

I've had some fun taking 'pretty' pictures lately. I'm hoping to take a SLCC class this fall on photography. These were taking with our basic Power Shot Digital camera, but we do have a very nice film one. I only know how to use the basic functions. I took many pictures of the cemetery by our house, I'll post those once I get them developed.

Coming Soon . . .

I'm working on changing this a bit to showcase my crafting hobbies as well as my stamping projects. I haven't quite gotten back on track with my scrapbooking, and crafting. I'm enjoying and still adjusting to life with two little children. So check back in a week!

Long time no Bloggin'

Hello there. It has been so long since I've posted last. I was able to get in a great groove and catch up on a lot of scrapbooking, I got a new set from the new catalog that I love (Petal Pizazz), but now the last 6 weeks my hands are too numb to do anything! Typing and writing have become difficult. I'm having my baby in 6 days! So hopefully in another few weeks I can have a little time to create again. So check back in a month and I'll show you what I've been up to.

Updates

Sorry for the lack of posting. I've been busy and continued to have a difficult pregnancy. There are many promotions right now with Stampin' UP, so check out the website to see all the details.

As of January 1, 2009, I will no longer be a demonstrator. Unfortunately, I cannot keep up this hobby with my situation. Not to mention I'll have two little ones in a couple of months. If you are in need of a new demonstrator, I'm refering you all to my upline, Kelly. Email me for her information.

I will keep this blog for a while hoping to post my cards still along with other crafts.

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!
