All About Life

This is an accordion album I started making as a gift. But alas, I was not finished in time and had to go and buy the gift instead. That is alright, though, because it means I can keep the book for myself..tee hee. I used the CTMH 9x9 accordion album, Life’s Delights (retired) paper and stickers, and foundry frames.

Use Up My Scraps Round 1

I recently hosted a “Use Up My Scraps” swap. I sent the exact same scraps to 5 different people and kept some for myself. It is really interesting to see what different ideas six different minds comes up with. Here are the results from round one.

Happy Halloween

I know it is a day late, but I wanted to share some pictures of the kids in their costumes. They sure got a lot of loot. We made it through the whole town, though we had to stop for warmer clothes and the wagon at the half way point. We did have a lot of fun, though, and we got to spend the whole evening together as a family!

Harry Potter (aka William):

Sparkly Princess (aka Courtney):

Little Clown (aka as Alex, but oddly looks like Pennywise from Stephen King’s “It”):

Well Behaved Woman??? Not Me!!!

I love this mug. Again, I used a Daisy D’s rub-on and some bling. This is one of my very favorite sayings and this is the mug I drink my coffee from at work. And seeing how I start work a 3am, I drink A LOT of coffee.
