Time Flies

Gosh, I am a bad blogger! Just couldn't get into it last weekend or this week. I have been busy at work and this past weekend was a very busy weekend. Saturday Colleen wanted to go to Phoenix so off we headed. We found a new to us store called Melrose Vintage. It is a wonderful shabby chic store and yes everyone we found tons of stuff from vintage ribbons, material, a pink enamel baby bathtub (and unfortunately not for sale). Colleen found another piece of furniture for all her coin envelopes and tags and she got it. I fell in love with a vintage post office wall of boxes. I can't tell you how much I wanted it but...... I need a new printer first and secondly I absolutely have no space for it boo hoo. Can I just say it was so neat with the little combinations and locks on the mailboxes. Reminded me of our post office boxes when I was growing up many moons ago. After you buy they wrap your purchases up in the most beautiful tissue paper and then the cute label. That was almost as fun as buying.
And thanks to Colleen I am now the owner of a beautiful ribbon box thank you Colleen!!!!The beautiful tissue paper and label. Vintage ribbons the lime green one is felt

My ribbon box
opened

Kim's wooden heart class. This was so much fun.
Michelle's love book. Don't laugh all of you I plan to fill it with pics you will be surprised.

No classes this week as our instructors from DM are in California for CHA. So far quiet week.

And since my printer is on it's last leg, I am now the new proud owner of an Epson1280. With TJ's help and guidance this is my choice. Free shipping, 100 dollars off the price and......I can now print 13x44 yahooo should be fun. Lets hope I can figure it out and let's also hope my present printer holds out a few more print jobs before I put it to rest.

The Stockings Were Hung

Image
I hosted a small group for a Christmas Stocking Swap. I kept the group small due to my time and work constraints and deadlines I was facing. My idea for the swap came from a wonderful online class I took with Nancy Maxwell James of Sugar Lump Studios . I really enjoyed her class and all her helpful tips and so the idea was born. I assigned secret partners, to each of the members as well as a Dec 10th deadline. Christine suggested we all wait and open our boxes on the same day. So today is the reveal. The stocking are gorgeous and it has been fun as the photos came in to see how each of us interpreted the theme. We designed and filled our stockings with goodies and then mailed to our partner. Below are the photos of our stockings and a little thank you I sent to each of the gals. The stockings are in no particular order just how they came up on the computer. I am already thinking of next year :) and what we could do and to being more organized time wise so I can invite more ga

Today: Chaos, Cooking, Cleaning and Creating

Image
What a day. I think I put the "Labor" into Labor Day. After yesterday, where I basically sat all day I needed to get going. And get going I did. From laundry to cleaning to grocery shopping to creating I have had a busy day. I have decided that what I eat sucks. I rarely cook a good meal and then at bedtime I am back to starving. So in my great wisdom I decided I needed to get with it and start fixing better meals for myself. Cooking for 1 is not the most inspiring thing. I am so used to cooking for larger groups and I tend to make too much. any how armed with a list for the grocery store and determination I headed out. I shopped and shopped, loaded all the groceries into the car and unloaded all the groceries from the car when I got home. From there it was a whirlwind of mixing and making my meals for the week. But let's be honest I probably made enough for 2 weeks plus. Groceries waiting to be put away and made into meals It only took about 30 minutes to whip this all t
