Okay so anyway I have had a few fun things I've done in between. but that's gonna have to wait till another time like next week. I'm headed out the door as soon as this is done, I will do a few auto post for the next few days then it's gonna be nothing again till after I get back from vacation.It's Spring BREAK here, taking Joey to my sister an headed to see Mike (hubs) then a little bit in the keys!!!! Woop, woop!!!!!  I'm sooooo ready for this BREAK!!!! yes!!! :)

Okay so here is a TREAT for someone... I was out last Saturday with a friend and at the end of the day we were headed back to her house and we passed a store I was like STOP!!! I wanna go there.. LOL!!! I score some cool stuff.. I got two flower frogs, big ones... But I'm only gonna keep one, they go like crazy on ebay... LOL!!!   So I got this one here and with shipping I'm thinking it's gonna be total 20.00 but how can I do it to be far, Give me some of your thoughts, we will work on it when I get back, but need ideas how to handle, because just first email is kinda ugh!!!   So here is a picture of it. I use them to hold cards and photo and display them. I get questiosn all the time were to find them... So now you can get one here... I know I only have one, but hey it's fun.

 

 

Sunny Box....

Happy Sunday!!! Well, I was working on this box I got last week thifting with my friend Betty (hey Betty) Had a busy day yesterday around the house doing things to get some stuff caught up and a little fun too. As I was saying, last Saturday Betty and I went to a few places looking for some bargains and found a few this box for some reason was calling to me.  3.00 dollars later it was mine. I stewed over it for the week something wasn't right about it, it kept reminding me of a vintage tool box. It's no vintage piece but it's still cool, so I looked on-line and noticed most of the vintage pieces were a different shape end, so after a little drawing and changing my mind a few times, I cut the sides to make a different look, and LOVE IT!!! So I've started to paint it but it's still got a bit to go, and I've desided I can put some of my punches in it and it will work great. so here are a few shots and I was going to share a card I got for my birthday (thanks Lisa).

Today was a busy day had my car worked on and did some running around to get other stuff done and Joey and I took in a movie Journey 2 it was great, LOVE Dwayne Johnson...  Was a cute 3D movie... Must see...  then this evening before I was ready to post for tomorrow, I was like oh crap! :) I forgot the one for today, so sorry... Better later than never as I always say. So here it si quickly.  Hope you have a great weekend.

Something's Fishy around here......

Oops!!! I forgot the auto post for earlier this morning. What can I say with Mike away it's now all on me and I'm not on a good schedule with it all yet... So some nights I'm ready for bed before 10p.m... LOL! anyone who knows me knows I'm usually a night owl, but not no more... I worked this past Sunday in the yard pulling weeds, that by the way were so out of control, had no idea, Mike has been just mowing them and spreading them just as fast as they can grow. UGH!! Anyway, I tell Joey, I'm going to bed, I'm trusting you to turn off lights and go to bed etc.. I wake up the next morning, all the lights are on in the other half of the house. Hall, Bathroom, his room and he's a sleep on the couch! At least he did turn off the t.v. KIDS!!! oh boy! Okay so here is a cute little frame I made for the shop the other week. Yes, I painted the frame it was a plain natural wood, I thought it needed a little jazzing up! Then the next card, I just had to make my version of it. This card I guess they did at leadership this year, LOVE IT!!!! but the ones they made at leadership used the Blossom Builders from page 18 of the mini occasions catalog, but I didn't have plus to use for a class you need another idea cause you wouldn't have enough of the same thing for everyone and the same color. Thanks for stopping by and happy hump day. Wooohooo it's middle of the week.

Recipe:

Daffodil Delight c/s, Lucky Limeade c/s, Whisper White c/s, Poppy Parade c/s

Matching inks:

Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch just the one piece then I took a marker and made stripes on it to give it some yello color.

Blossom Punch from page  17 in the mini occasions catalog, punch two cut the top one to make it more like petals, then put one dimentional between the two before you layer and also I curled them a little to make it look more flower like. I also added a yellow button with the  white bakers twine and then fluff out the ends to make it fuller.

 

 

Tasteful Trim Die for the poppy accent. too cute...

 

 

 

 

It's all about the packaging, right?

Well these little hand sanitizers are too cute, so here is a cute way to package them up. Got the pattern/idea from Michelle Suit, thanks Michelle for sharing.... I did this one last month for part of a hostess gift. it's to cute. See for yourself. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Here is the directions from Michelle below....

Jumbo paperclips

So I was cruising around T____! the other week and I found these cool colored jumbo paperclips, and said, wow, those would be to cool with the new flower punch, so I bought a few packs and here's what I came up with. I make stuff and sell it and these are great little doable items to resale...  okay so I'm not back on schedule yet so I'm gonna call it a night and head to bed. I'm very tired,  this is gonna post Wednesday morning, so have a good one. See you tomorrow...

 

where is my week going?

Well I'm doing this auto post so you will have something to see/look at  but this night (Wednesday ) has gone to hell with my kid! So this is an old project, but I haven't shared it before..

 

 
I'm thinking about doing a class on this and it will be a mail class, 2 purses, supplies and instructions mailed to you... No stamping just DSP and folding... if your interesed let me know, I'll see what i can work up. Little purse and big one, here's another photo.

 
the larger purse holds note cards and envelopes... You would get 4 for the large purse...
