Sucker for You

Friendship, Valentine's Day

sucker for you

This morning I have a sucker holder.  It’s stands up and is so cute.

Our work continues on our new displays.  Kevin has been building boxes.  We are trying to get set up and tear down time down to 3 hours for set up and 1 hour for tear down.  Grapevine, TX will be the test.  They tend to be a test market for everything since they are the first show of the year.  We are looking forward to Grapevine!

This week I will be posting some more little boxes that I made for examples.  They are so cute and tiny.  Just to let you know their size they are about 1.25×1.25″ big!

So I very seldom mention my faith on my blog because you don’t really read my blog to hear about our faith.  But because it is so much a part of our lives it is hard not to mention it.  We are very excited today because our ministers, Bruce and Jason, are coming to stay with us.  The easiest way to explain why our ministers stay with us is in Acts 16:15.  There are many places where it explains why this is in the bible but I’ve just been thinking of this one today.  In Acts 16 it tells us about Lydia who was a seller of purple (a business woman like me!)  who worshipped God.  She told the apostles “Come into my house and abide there” and so they did.  And so because our ministers are Jesus apostles they live like Jesus apostles did 🙂  So we are very excited to have Bruce and Jason come!

no snow!

Conventions, Valentine's Day

I have officially designed the new Design & Treasure Project for 2015!  A BIG thank you goes out to Debbie who actually gave me the instructions for the box!

I put a pull here stamp on the tab but I think it really needs to say “lift here” so I was thinking of designing a fun cube that has:  pull here, lift here, open here but now I need a suggestion for the fourth.  Any ideas?

Good Morning!  It’s Friday!  Exciting! Easy to be merry on a Friday!

We are finishing up on our cling mount displays today.  Kevin has been peeling up the floor in the mudroom to get ready for tiling it…maybe tomorrow 🙂

Have a funny story to tell you about Kevin 🙂  He was cutting the peg board in half for the displays and he says to me…”this one is a little crooked ”  So I say “why is it crooked?”  He’s says “well, I shut my eyes.”  My reply “YOU WHAT!??”  Seriously why would you shut your eyes while cutting with a saw 🙂  Apparently he didn’t put goggles on and the sawdust was flying.  Lucky he still has all his fingers.

Enjoy your weekend!

Beautiful but Cold!

warm winter wishes

Our weather is sunny and nice but VERY cold!  My shower this morning was pretty luke warm.  Our bathroom is the farthest room from the water heater and when it is really cold the water just never gets too warm.  There are worse things in life than a warm shower! 🙂 so not complaining just observing 🙂

We have been working on our displays and new stamps…very exciting!

Karissa send me this card and I love how the brother machine cuts out the snowman…so precise and nice.  Remember that brother is offering a $50 gift card for purchasing a machine until Saturday the 13th!  I also like how Karissa used the Warm Winter Wishes by 2nd & 3rd generation stamping.  Stamps Used:  EE47 KB’s Ear Muff Snowman, Lg; C186 Warm Winter Wishes

A customer has asked me to post about a little girl who has at best a year to live.  Her grandmother has asked people to send  holiday cards to her.  My customer ran across the article in her local newspaper.  Here is the address:

It’s almost Friday!! 🙂 🙂

Only 7 am and I’m already having a tough day ! Good Grief!  We have been getting a lot of snow so what does a girl do…make snowman cards!  It’s been warm though so our snow keeps melting.

So busy yesterday that I forgot to blog so I thought I better do it first thing this morning so I don’t forget 🙂

Stamps Used:  JJ17 KB’s Snowman w/ Mouse….this stamp is one of my favorites!

Good Friday to You!  So happy it’s Friday…so many possibilities of things to do this weekend 🙂

We have been working on getting stamps ready for Grapevine TX which is only 5 weeks away. Since we are designing new displays I’m trying to get a head start.  We have also continued to work on the Mudroom/Pantry which is coming along nicely but slowly!

We got a little dusting of snow yesterday…makes everything look fresh and new 🙂  We are headed out to the shop to put in a few hours of work.

We ordered some new displays for the cling mounted stamps.  Our current set up and tear down for the displays  is pretty time consuming.  We are hoping this new set up will be quick and easy.  I can always dream 🙂  We spent a lot of time yesterday planning and configuring the new set up.  Hope it works.

One more day and it’s Friday!
