IDEAS Blog Hop – New Year’s Resolutions

Leave a Comment

This month our theme is "New Year's Resolutions" which left quite a lot of room for interpretation. Every year I`m determined to improve my organisation and so I decided to create a perpetual calendar as my contribution to the IDEAS tutorial bundle PDF. With a perpetual calendar you write down birthdays, anniversaries and other events that occur on the same date each year. But unlike a traditional annual calendar you can keep using it year after year. My version includes twelve individual ... VIEW POST

Peaceful Sunday And Making Plans

Leave a Comment

Yesterday was another busy day for me as I attended my final craft fair of the season. This one was at the Fundy Geological Museum in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia and as usual very well organised. It was good to see so many people taking the opportunity to buy from local crafts people. While I love attending these events and meeting customers old and new, it can be quite a tiring day overall. So my Sunday will be spent relaxing and planning for the rest of the month. But first I needed to create ... VIEW POST

Timeless Tulips For A Sympathy Card

Leave a Comment

At a recent craft fair I was struck by the number of people looking for get well, thinking of you and sympathy cards. Most said that while they hoped never to need to send them, it was something they always kept on hand. That way if they did need to send a card they had one that could go in the mail the same day. So when I was thinking about making a card for today's blog I immediately thought of a sympathy card. Out came the Timeless Tulips Stamp Set and I got to work. BEAUTY OF THE ... VIEW POST

Back On Your Feet Meets Many Messages

Leave a Comment

I'm having altogether too much fun combining elements from different stamp sets right now. Just when I think I've exhausted my imagination something else comes along to excite me. This time it was the unlikely pairing of the Back On Your Feet Stamp Set and the multi-sentiment Many Messages Stamp. I always think of Back On Your Feet as a stamp set for get well projects but it doesn't have to be that limited. It was my determination to show how you can use the Many Messages Stamp Set without ... VIEW POST

After The Storm But No Deer In Sight

Leave a Comment

Well following yesterday's confusion over the blog hop which isn't actually until next week, thankfully my day improved. If you can overlook the fact that my blog was 5 hours late being published, it was quite productive really. Today I need to double-check all the entries in my diary for December just to make sure I haven't made any other silly errors. Once that's done I want to plan out how I'm going to make it to the end of my to do list before running out of month. For today's project I ... VIEW POST

It’s Been One Of ‘Those’ Days

Leave a Comment

Have you ever had one of those days where you thought you were being super organised and on top of things, only to find the exact opposite? Well that's been me today. For more than a week I've been planning my contribution to a blog hop involving a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. The blog post was done and my part of the Tutorial PDF completed. All I had to do was wait until 3pm Atlantic Time for it to go live. Unfortunately, it's only now I've realised that I've ... VIEW POST
