Last night we celebrated Black Friday with Black Friday Bingo. We had a great time (and had lots of laughs)! Everyone received a door prize of a package of brand new dimensionals (and who doesn’t need those) and munched on delicious biscotti. We each made two fun Christmas cards from the “To You and Yours” Shaker Card Kit. All prizes were…
I have to admit when Mint Macaron was first introduced in June as a new In-Color, I wasn’t all that excited. I prefer bold & brights colors and this seemed to be not quite a pastel and certainly not a bold. Today, I needed to make some thank you cards for an upcoming fair and started to play around with…

Last night my mom and a friend came to my house and we put our Season-to-Season Wreaths together (this is a project kit from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog). Not only did we have a fun time together, but we made beautiful home decorations that will last for at least three seasons (Halloween, Autumn and Christmas). And, if we want…
Friday night we make these terrific “Witching Hat” Centerpieces from a kit in the Holiday Catalog from Stampin’ Up! We followed right along with a video posted by Stampin’ Up! that gave us step-by-step directions (I usually make my project ahead of time but wanted to be a student this time too). Here is a photo of us during the…

And because we know our subscribers want to share the love too, we will be making a donation on their behalf to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF)”. Stampin’ Up! will donate $1 for…
Wait until you see all of the beautiful, inspirational, duplicatable and fun things this new 2015 Holiday Catalog has inside. Starting today, you can order anything from within. I just received my pre-order (one of the MANY benefits of being a demonstrator) and can’t wait to share some of the projects I make with you. Take a peek and let…

What makes you happy? I love this card because it truly is “the little things” that matter. I saw this design on Pinterest (Pinterest makes me happy) and I made a few little changes. I can’t always reproduce a card exactly as I see it, but I can use the supplies that I have and create a similar look. The…
For the last few years, Massachusetts has created a new holiday and it is upon us once again. If you live in Massachusetts, you can shop tax-free all weekend. Whoo Hoo!

Towards the end of every December I wish that I took the time (when I had some free time in the summer) to prepare better for Christmas. I wish I could create more decorations, gift packaging, goodies, etc. Pinterest is full of ideas I always want to do, but realize I don’t have time to do when the calendar says…

It’s officially Summertime. Finally! After the winter (and all the endless snow) we had this year, Summer couldn’t come soon enough. I love the smell of fresh picked basil, the sandal tan on my feet, blue hydrangeas growing in the yard, ice cream for dinner and watermelon at cookouts. Speaking of watermelon, I found this cute watermelon card on Pinterest:I love…
I have to admit that I have been a little frustrated lately. Each time I visit this/my site, I see “0 Comments” under my headline. Day after day after day. I sometimes wonder if anyone is ever visiting besides me. Well, the other day I decided to comment on my own post to turn that zero into a one. And…
Have you heard that saying before? It’s the “Life is Good” motto. I try to incorporate it into my life whenever I can. Too many times we are rushing around just getting things done (food shopping, cleaning, chauffeuring the kids, etc.). But it’s really important that we include fun things in our days too – even if it’s only for…
Yesterday our town held it’s first (and I hope annual) Summer Fest. We were blessed with warm & sunny weather (despite the early predictions of thunder storms). It seemed as if everyone from our town and surrounding towns were there – and they were all HAPPY. I didn’t hear any crying babies, no whining toddlers, no grumpy teenagers and no…
Welcome back! Last week I showcased some cards with the new You’ve Got this stamp set and I mentioned I would share some photos of the beautiful peonies growing in my yard. I can’t believe how tall they are – next year I need a taller frame to keep them from falling over. You can even see a close up…
