After yesterday's difficult morning things definitely improved. Right now I'm trying to do a major declutter and reorganisation of my craft studio. It's well overdue but a good use of my time while in quarantine. I did stop just long enough though to make this simple project for a friend using the new Bamboo Beauty Stamp Set. SIMPLE BAMBOO The Bamboo Beauty Stamp Set has two tall bamboo stems and two leaf images, plus some lovely sentiments. I began with the thicker stem and first ... VIEW POST
Oh Snap, I Love This Little Frog
Are you having a good day? It's Mother's Day in Canada and the US, although as in 2020 you might need to celebrate it CoVid-style. It's hard to be apart from those you love, but if it keeps them safe and healthy it's worth it. We're lucky that we can keep in touch using social media, video chats and the telephone, but sometimes a hand-written note is more meaningful. So today's simple Sunday project is a quick card featuring a frog that looks like he's thinking of just the right thing to ... VIEW POST
Strong & Beautiful Grandbabies
So yesterday for the first time in a number of years I didn't publish my daily blog post. But I have a good excuse. Last week our daughter had twin girls by emergency c-section.

Instead they spent a week with Mummy on the transitional ward before finally being able to go home. ... VIEW POST
Yellow Umbrella And Strawberry Rain
Have you ever looked at something and seen something entirely different? That's what happened when I was making today's project. It all started when I had a few packs of Designer Series Paper (DSP) on my desk and was looking for inspiration. Then I saw raindrops, and was immediately wanted to pair it with the Under My Umbrella Stamp Set and Umbrella Builder Punch. It was later, much later, when I realised my 'rain' was in fact an extreme close up of a strawberry! BERRY COLOURFUL ... VIEW POST
Hey Girlfriend Recommend Me A Book
Are you a reader? I definitely am, and I'm pleased to say my children and granddaughter inherited my love of books. What I find really nice is that we often recommend books to each other. It's a great way to discover new authors or explore a different genre. So what better accompaniment to a book recommendation than a new bookmark? Today's feminine design uses the Hey Girlfriend Stamp Set. HEY GIRLFRIEND The new Hey Girlfriend Stamp Set really appealed to me with images of three ... VIEW POST
Peony Painting For A Dear Friend
It occurred to me too late yesterday that my last three projects were all in shades of blue. So when I sat down to make today's project all I had in my mind was something that wasn't blue. It was only as I looked at the open flower in the Prized Peony Stamp Set that I settled on Magenta Madness. And from there the card almost made itself. PINK PEONY The project began with the open peony image stamped onto Thick Whisper White Card using Magenta Madness ink. Then I stamped the two ... VIEW POST
