More Past Projects

Here are some notecards and a holder I made for my mom for Mother's Day last year (pre-SU). The papers are the adorable SEI Aunt Gertie Garden set.

Here is an accordian board book I made for Mom for Mother's Day. It matches the notecards. The pictures are from various times and most include me and brother and mom. Sorry my pictures are so yellow - I'm not sure why my camera was doing that when I took the pictures...

Weekend at Chehaw

Here where I live we have a nature park/wild animal park/BMX park/campground called the Parks at Chehaw - which I happen to volunteer at! Here is a link if anyone is curious... http://www.parksatchehaw.org.

Friday I was out there for Light the Night, it went so well. And Saturday I was out there for Rummage for Rhinos, a city-wide yard sale to benefit the Rhino Conservation Fund. We raised over $600 for rhinos! Yay!

So after I that I was tired and lazy the rest of the weekend, but I did make it to the gym Sunday - the pool and whirlpool were wonderful :)

Anywho, here a calendar I made for a craftshow. I don't plan to post pictures of everything I create for the craftshow, but I didn't have any other creative creations this weekend :(

You Scored an A

You got 10/10 questions correct. It's pretty obvious that you don't make basic grammatical errors. If anything, you're annoyed when people make simple mistakes on their blogs. As far as people with bad grammar go, you know they're only human. And it's humanity and its current condition that truly disturb you sometimes.

The It's Its There Their They're Quiz

BLOG CANDY!!!!!!!!

Ok, I feel the need to give out some blog candy! It will be a goody envelope with ribbon (both Stampin' Up! and non-SU), some Prima's, and some Stampin' Up! classic ink spots, and maybe one or two other things.

Now, this is what you need to do - post a comment to this post with your favorite Stampin' Up! color combo. Easy right?

I'll pick a winner on October 1st.

More Celery Mom Madness

Ok, since the calendar was so popular here are the matching birthday card and dry erase board. I used the same colors/stamps as on the calendar in a previouse post.

Here is the dry erase board, all I did was adhere some white paper to pretty cardstock and laminate making it erasable. Next time I will use cardstock instead of printer paper.

I love the hot knife!

Ok, I'm one of those weird people who likes to "unmount" their stamps. I was having the most aggrivating time trying to cut the EZ Mount foam that I was sticking the rubber to for making cling type stamps until I saw the hot knife on another blog - I think it was the Bella blog.

So, I was considering buying a hot knife after seeing how well it worked on another blog and thought "But wait! You already have 2 different heat tools with different attachments, surely one is a knife tip!" So I checked my stash of rarely used goodies and there it was - I mounted about 7 sets in around an hour! I'm in love!!!!!

The Gym and some sewing

Ok - I've finally decided I need to take better care of myself and started going to the gym. I went on Monday and my trainer had me do some upper body weights, and now 2 days later I can barely move my arms! Oh boy did I overdo it! So today I'm going back and we'll be doing lower body weights and hopefully I won't overdo it today!


Anywho - here is a picture of a project from a couple weeks ago, a lap quilt! All the patterened fabric is Mary Engelbreit (my favorite)!

And this is a matching Cricut cover for my bug - both items match my craft room/spare room/office.

Ramblings and a calendar too...

Woo Hoo!!!! I"m officially a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator! I'm so excited.

Anywho, if you've happened across this blog you've noticed that I haven't done much with it yet :( Hopefully in the near future I'll have some pictures of things to show you and some information about Stampin' Up! specials that are going on. One day I hope this blog is as neat as some of the ones I've been looking at recently from links over at SplitCoastStampers. The ladies (and guys) over there are so talented!

For now, here's a picture of a calendar I made for my mom's fridge. The paper is certainly celery, and the ink is Wild Wasabi, Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink and Regal Rose. The stamps are Bud Basics
