Well yesterday didn't go according to plan. First I had internet issues again in the morning that meant my blog was delayed. Then I got a call asking me if I could take an extra shift at the pharmacy. I know they wouldn't call unless they really needed me so I abandoned my to do list and worked a ... VIEW POST
So Long Special Celebrations
Today's Simple Sunday project uses quite a few retiring products. I hadn't planned it that way, but sometimes it's just what happens. I chose the Special Celebrations Stamp Set for a sentiment, and by the time my tag was done I'd used a retiring paper, card, twine, punch and embellishment ... VIEW POST
Bye Bye Beautiful Promenade

Go Where Dreams And Inspiration Takes You
Today's project was a total surprise. I sat down to create a card of some kind with no real plan. I found one of my older (but still available) stamp sets, pulled out the coordinating dies and set to work. I really like the "Go where dreams take you" sentiment, and before I knew it I'd created ... VIEW POST
Weathering The Storms Of Life
I went to bed last night with no idea what I was going to make for today's blog. By the time I awoke I had an idea for an inspirational fridge magnet. So out came the Sailing Home Stamp Set and the "Let hope be your anchor through the storms of life" sentiment. In no time at all my idea had taken ... VIEW POST
