Hell0!  Our internet is working fabulous today!  🙂  It was very very slow out at Cannon Beach.  It was actually painful.  I would walk away and then come back it was loading things so slowly.  I guess that’s why you walk the beach.
We are heading in to set up here in Puyallup. Â Soon we will begin the long journey home.
A cute gift card holder this morning.
Stamps Used: Â HH27 KB’s Whumsy Daisy Lg, D298 Incredible Birthday, B278 Gift Card Value
so here is another awesome card from Michelle! Â She puts a ton of work into her cards and it sure shows! Â Love them! Â Love how she sewed the edge of this card. Â I have a sewing machine in my studio but it is not completely set up but I’m getting inspired by these cards. Â I also like how she used the swiss dot stamps with a circle die cut!
Lots going on today…we have special company coming today.  One of our 95 year old ministers and his great nephew and his great great nephew.  What a privilege! My parent are coming to spend a couple of days 🙂  Happy they are feeling well enough to travel.  The laundry room is almost done!!!!  Very, very close!  I need to order a door today since we are changing the doors in the house because they are just cheap standard grade ugly doors.  Oh and can’t forget the trip to the accountant to file taxes and send the good old USA a check!  Have a great day hope your having a special day too!
so we have made it to our final destination of Grapevine,  TX.  glad to be here and relax a little.  by the way, thanks for all the anniversary wishes!  It’s hard to imagine that we have been married that long! 🙂
I wish the pictures would have turned out  better of the little coffee cups 😦 The pictures just don’t do them justice.  By if you are in Grapevine, TX this weekend you can see them in person!  Information about the show can be found at http://www.heirloompro.comÂ
Good Morning! Â it’s cold here! -9 this am It’s so cold here that nobody is buying tickets to the Green Bay Packers Game on Sunday so they may have a local television black out! Â How crazy is that? Â In all the years of living here, we’ve never heard of a local black out. Â Green Bay Packer Fans are usually die hards but the forecast will be really cold!
so I’m trying to be organized and get a head start on things…our son, Travis, has a birthday on Jan 15th so I’ve already made a money holder for him so that I won’t forget his birthday.  Since his birthday always comes at this crazy time of year, I’ve been known to forget 😦
I was greeted this morning with this little cluster of flowers! Â I decided to try and save my summer flowers over the winter to see if I could keep them living. Â They look kind of dead but then came some new little green flowers, and then some buds, and now flowers! Â so awesome!
Have a great weekend! Â Go Pack Go!

This is project 2 in my new envelope punch board class! Â It’s adorable! Â And easy!
Happy New 2014 to everybody…I know I’m a little late…things are always a little frantic right before the first show of the year…Getting all the D&T’s designed, new MNT’s and of course the class, AND re-doing all the cases.  Re-doing the cases is the most tedious and boring job ever!  All the new stamps need places, the non-sellers need to be taken out and of course that means all the cards need to be shifted too!  so we are very busy!  and as many can imagine…boring and tedious is NOT my cup of tea 🙂
We also have this very old dog named Cocoa who is 18 years old and very frail but has a wonderful disposition so we can’t put her down. Â But she takes a whole bunch of time! Â We even cook for her because she has decided she doesn’t like dog food. Â Her favorite treat is Fruit Loops! Â I think Kevin will take good care of me when I’m old because he takes such good care of Cocoa!
I hope we all have a good year for 2014 in all the ways that God would want us too!
well, here we are on the last day of 2013! Â WOW, doesn’t life move fast. Â This is one of our projects for my new class in 2014. Â Made with an envelope punch board.
Stamps Used: Â HH20 lots of dots, E210 Birthday Wishes, F194 2″ swiss dot B252 KB’s Three Candles.
I’m not going to see the new year in…too old for that and too much work to do to get ready for the Grapevine,  TX show.
Good Morning! Â It’s 5 am and we and up and ready to head home today. Â Drove 5 hours last night and have a good 12-13 hours to go today!
We were in Baltimore Ravens county this weekend and the Green Bay Packers were playing in Baltimore and I guess we were only about an hour from the game! Â How fun would it have been to be at that game?! Â The Packers pulled off a win! Â Whew, we needed a win.
Met these ladies at the York, PA show this weekend…how adorable are those t-shirts? Â Pretty sure my sister and I need these! Â I haven’t been home much and I miss my sister!
While in York, PA this weekend we did the coffee cup make n takes and they were well received ! I started thinking about how cool they would be as a gift card holder so on Sunday I set out to make one! Â Here is it…
How cute is that? Â The gift card looks like it sticks really far out of the cup in the pictures but is really about half way and looks good! Â I used the Lots of Dots border stamp because it really is one of my favorites ! Â Well, we had better get going. Â Have a good Monday.
Good Morning! It’s Friday! Â Ugh, that starts my work week! Â But since I love what I do….it’s not really working:)
Every year for Design & Treasure I design a gift card holder for my project.  We all need gift card holders since they are so  practical and with ITunes it just makes sense to give gift cards.  So for 2013 I again have a great gift card holder.  If you are signed up in Grapevine,  TX this is my project.  I usually designs new stamps for each project.  Currently these stamps are not on the website but by Wednesday of next week they will be.  We usually spend the hotel time changing and fixing things on the website and this year is no different!  Enjoy your day and weekend!  If you live near the Grapevine, TX area…well I hope to see you!
