Flower Pens

I think these are just SO cute! I see them in scrapbook stores all the time, and I figured they couldn't be that hard to make?!?! So, given that it's Sunday and WAY TOO HOT outside for an October weekend, I decided to give them a whirl!

They are relatively inexpensive and really quick. (I made 7 pens in about 15 minutes, including clean up!) I made them for the class that I'm having next weekend to make: a Halloween card, a treat tin and a treat bag. I hope everyone has fun!

Here are some photos. (You can also see my new countertops in the photos!)

The first is how I get them to stand up straight. (River pebbles, found at JoAnn's) The second is an indi pen.
The third iss the flowers in their "pot".

If you need instructions, LMK.

Digi Pages

Ooh, I am loving the digiscrapping. Yep, you never have to take out a single SHEET of paper. No clean up. Can get a page done in relatively quick time. What's not to like? AND, I find that I am doing more pages because of the aforementioned reasons.

I decided to blog this one because I tried to send it to my friend Liz and it wouldn't go thru. So, she's getting the blog version.

I plan to have lots more fun blog things in upcoming weeks as I adjust to the new craft room and get my computer all situated down there.

BTW, I am not too funny today. I had my repeat mammo. The first mammo...well, I have had gas that hurts worse than that. But, repeat mammo. Seriously next time just ask a Mack truck to run over my boob while it's laying on the street! When she was taking the photos, she said "Don't breathe". I asked her if she thought that was even possible? She didn't laugh.

Halloween Haunt #2

OK, I couldn't stop myself. Here is the other project you will make in October. (Can you tell I LOVE Halloween?!?!?) I am sure my Mom will want to sign up for this class...she loves the holiday as much as I do!

Isn't it SOOOO cute?

PS-If you can't come to the class, but would still like a product list and a template, let me know. I will be happy to send them to you for a nominal fee...

Scrappy Hour

Well, as promised, I will continue to attach samples of what we will be making in each class. These are just the cutest dang things, wouldn't you agree? You'll make a tin, a treat bag AND a card in the class...and you will get to take home the templates so you can make them again and again!

Hope you will sign up for the Halloween Haunt. Of course, candy corn and spiked cider will be a'flowin!

I think I've gone freaking mad....

Lookie at what I just ordered? Could I have been spending my evening gardening or exercising or reading? Oh no. I have been stalking my favorite website, Splitcoast. I seriously need help. So, I start reading about these markers. Yup, this new brand of markers that everyone is gaga over. Well, do I jump right in and buy them? Nope. Instead, I research the gosh darn things for TWO HOURS! (Told you, I need help. Anyone have a good therapist?) So I end up buying the buggers. Want to see a photo? I swear, they better be made of gold.

I'm hoping my next post will be how much I LOOOOOOOOOOVE my new markers!

(At least it came with a free case)

And from the desk of TKH...

Something NOT crafty, my friends. But, I had to put a link to my friend Megan's website. Megan (crazy girl that she is) is going to Ghana for a year! OMG, could I be more impressed? This is such a cool kid....oh wait, could it be because I was her favorite babysitter? Well, anyhow, here is the web address for her blog.

I will put a link up on my blog as well. Just pop over sometime and check it out. If for no other reason than she has some hilarious jokes on there! Love you Meg!

OMG, May 19th?

That was a LONG time ago! And this was supposed to be the S.O.T.!!! So, I was checking out Crafty McCrafter the other day, and she has like a gagillion posts. So, I had to do something crafty. I have a few things:

1) I learned how to "digiscrap". Am I good at it? Nope. But, it's a work in progress

2) I learned how to unmount my stamps? As K.T. tells me, that's about as interested as watching paint dry. Isn't he funny. (not!) So, you will get to see the "before" and "aftah" shots of my stamp collection!

3) I made this cute baby card for my friend Andrea who just had a little girl. Note the pink and green...she lives in Grosse Pointe! (And is SO not a GP'er!)

So, that's it for today. It's too damn hot outside to be out there, so I am in here being crafty. I have another fun project, but if I don't get to it, I'll post it tomorrow!
