One Little Word

Happiness

it has been coming up for the last few weeks and I was resisting, but it is the word i need this year.

just spent two hours with some great new friends on Dare 2 dream and everyone had great words for the new year. thanks so much for the inspiration I needed. Go check out this great new community


Pantone has unveiled its color of the new year. see what IT is here

more crafty things

All of my team has these note boards on our office doors- they have 3m sticky stuff on top and white board on the bottom.

in febuary- I send out my round of valentine cards and I wanted to do something fun and nice for my co-workers in my office. Well I made a little tage these are about the size of a Mini Pearl price tag and made of the same white card and white cotton string. Well I made the 1st of a whole tradition in the makeing and then one said you could do one a month with a theme and the idea just took off. each of my co-workers gets a tag on their door display each month and everyone looks forward to the little tiny reminder to smile.

so Fab was hearts and valentine, march was the shamrock, april is the rain showers, may was the flowers- in pots, June was the beach, july the red white an blue stars theme, august was the sun shine, September was back to school, october is the pumpkins on black tags, november is the leaf shaped tags and December the christmas trees!

see what I won??

Design Block Butterfly Wood Mounted Stamp- From Hero Arts- it is pretty and sweet to have won in a tweeting contest!

now to make some cards and use this in a project. I need a creative muse- my mojo has been seriously lacking, I haven't even altered anything in a while.

reading all the tweets from CHA and following some new bloggers has helped a bit but I am lacking girlfriend power. I haven't been motivated to crop by myself in a while, it seems to take too much effort to be nice to other people. LOL , but maybe I will finally get motivated to scrap hh and my trip to beautiful San Deigo ( that has been in my scrapping brain for a while)

I won! - stamps

I twitter! and I won from hero art today a stamp! - don't know which one just yet but yippie for me! I love the internet.

just one more

Susan Branch- items from the dot com

I e-mailed S that I wanted this scrapbooking kit - from www.susanbranch.com and he bought it for me, what i wanted to shoe you was how sweetly it was packaged! - they sent it to me with love, there were stickers and

Tissue wrap and extra goodies- like two calendars - it was so very nicely done.

Isn't this nice. even the outer package had stickers and sweet sentiments.

another altered house

This is what I did with my weekend. - this is Doodle bug and some cute papers- creative imaginations- from a local scrapbooks store in Longmont. The black glitter is from magic scraps ( my stash from years gone by) , the stairs have micro beads -clear- coating them, makes them sore of stone-ish. the little stickers are jolies boutique- grand edition, haunted house.

little house

This is a Doodlebug chipboard house- small size! I gave this away as a parting gift for a girl in the office. I told her it was a home away from home, and anywhere her heart was that would be home!

the steps have micro beads in green, there are stickes and paper and other fun stuff.

a lego girl on a bike and a cat round out the fun.
