I cannot find The Birdhouse to My Soul!

I made this adorable birdhouse a few months ago and now I cannot find a picture of it anywhere...I'm going nuts looking for my owlie birdhouse! Here I am, Miss I Have My Own Blog Now, ready to post and I cannot find my birdhouse. Well I'm off to a good start. I wanted to inspire creativity, to move you to craft and instead I'm just reminding you what a flake I am. Hrmpf. You still love me?

Wait, here it is! Good googlie mooglie that was driving me nuts! I hope this inspires you to think beyond paper, beyond rub ons, beyond scrapping...Kitsch it up a notch!

ps- For all those gals out there that are members, don't forget Paperclipping Live tomorrow night and yes, the wait is almost over, the brand new Stampin Up catalog is released to the world tomorrow. I can't wait! Butterfly Punch here I come! Hugs.

pps--don't be shy...please leave a comment if you stop by. I love feedback, good and bad, and I'd love to know who is stopping by. Sweet dreams!

Husbands Suck but Vintage Doesn't

God I'm so mad and confused and tired and all messed up inside. I hate it when I have literally done nothing wrong and Vin is an ass. And let me tell you, he's being an ass. Yesterday he downloaded some stuff to my computer even though I screamed "stop!" at least 5 times and it ended up HOSING my system. Now, he spent a lot of time fixing it and I'm forever grateful for that, but he owed me, HE messed it up, not me. He does this...he can't admit he's wrong. And when he's done something wrong, he takes it out on me...horribly and cruelly. I tried to talk to him tonight about it...I'm a rational person, I don't yell, I don't scream...and he decided, without even saying goodnight, without even telling me my computer was fixed, that he'd go to bed in Sophie's room. It's the ultimate insult. It's so mean. And now of course I'm crying and I can't sleep. It's just so wrong. I have been trying so hard to heal this relationship. And he does nothing. How much longer can I do it all? Not to mention the torn cartilidge in my knee getting worse by the day. And couldn't give a crap about that either. This blog is not going to turn into a rant, but if I didn't get that out of me, I was going to burst.

I guess since I can't sleep I'll go Modge Podge this awesome vintage paper I found...Sophie and I are making bracelets out of it...I'll post 'em when they're done. Making Memories has come out with an entire line of vintage....OMG it's lovely. Let's see if I can find a link...http://www.makingmemories.com/Products/collections/vintage-findings

Michael's was carrying most of it...I almost had a heart attack when I saw it al....heaven. Exactly what I love. I hope they do more!

Busy as a Bee

I have been working long and hard on the greeting card orders; I'm seriously so flattered by everyone that ordered them from me, it makes me feel like I might have an ounce of talent in there somewhere. Why is it so hard as artists to admit that we might be good at something?! I have 10 cards left to make so I have to get on it tomorrow. Here is the most adorable card I've made thusfar...for Sara and her family...ya'll have a good nighty night!

Father's Day is coming!

Hey there everyone...well, for those of you that haven't received the emails I've been sending out about ordering Father's Day cards, I'm offering a deal right now. 3 handmade gorgeous cards for $10. You can do any combination you like, 1 FD plus 1 birthday and 1 thank you, or 2 FD, etc...I'm sure you're saying to yourself "well, I don't know if this girl has any talent or not". Fair enough. :-) So, I'm going to upload a few pictures of the cards I've made previously so you can see my work. Please post your comment here if you'd like to order and I'll write you back to exchange emails/addresses. Shipping is just .50 for any order in the US.

I really appreciate you supporting my little hobby. Cardmaking and papercrafting is such a passion of mine, I just adore it. It means so much to me when someone puts in an order, and I promise it will mean a lot to the person who receives your card.
