Hello

Off to Minneapolis!

Frogs & Bugs, Hello, smile

I managed to get another MNT (make n take!) ready for the Bloomington, MN show!  So excited about our new cards…the old ones were getting boring.  Love these Flag Cards from The Paper Cut, Inc.  We hope to get them on our website soon.

I went on a shopping mission to get these blue owls that my sister got as a wedding present…

they are the EXACT blue that my planters in the front of the house are…but no success!  But I did manage to find these blue owls…

not  quite as cute but still adorable!  He looks like he’s scowling 🙂 The price was right $24.99 with 70% off plus an additional 25% off.  I think times are tough!  Have a great weekend!

Creatures, Hello

Hope you all are happy this Tuesday!  This is a 3.5″x5.0″ Triple Circle card that I cut out with my triple circle die.  We are hoping to put together a bee card for make n takes this weekend in Bloomington, MN.  I’m also looking forward to a day of stamping in my stamp studio tomorrow!  Got some ideas floating around in my head that I’ve been wanting to get done.

The weather is suppose to be really nice the next couple of days so maybe I can get some outside projects done too!

Have a nice evening!

Ready to Go!

rosy

Everything is rosy here since I am all packed and ready!  With my time this afternoon I will be getting some new make n takes together.  My brother machine helped me get ready!  That machine is amazing!  I needed to punch 120- 2.5″ scallop circles and 240- 1.25″ scallop circles for our project on Friday night in Orlando.  That would take forever!  So I loaded the scallops in my brother machine and in 12 minutes I had 81-1.25″ Scallop circles!  AND during that 12 minutes I was doing something else productive!

Here is what it looked like:

they other awesome thing….there is literally no waste!  The cuts are so close together.

You Color my World

Friendship, Hello, Just a Note, Thinking of You

color world

My world is looking colorful today!  I got up early (5 am!) and felt refreshed and so happy to putting on my painting clothes!  Not sure what I’m painting today but I’m painting something!  Kevin thinks I should finish painting his gaming console that I started quite awhile ago and then we got busy.   When we have a little time between shows we usually work in the shop from 8 am to noon and then the rest of the day is spent catching up on all the things that don’t get done when we are busy.  So I’m off to get my work done and then my projects!

Spectacular Day!

Hello, Thinking of You

I really hope your weekend is Spectacular!!  We are leaving to go set up here in West Springfield, MA!  It’s down to breakfast, then load the truck (all the product that was shipped to hotel and priced last night needs to go back in the truck) and then the 30 minute commute up to the Eastern States Expo Center.  So we are off and running…. have a spectacular weekend!

Monday Madness!

Hello

The last but not least adorable card from our customer Sharon!

We are in the usual mad dash to get everything done before leaving on Wednesday for the West Springfield, MA show!  Just one more day to get everything done and the list is still pretty long!

We are also looking for help on Saturday of the MA show.  Any one interested should email me at beth@shopec.com.  Thanks!

Quick Post!

Hello

Sharon#1

how cute is this adorable tag!  This was made by a customer Sharon.  The flower stamp is off the C191 Flower in a jar stamp…how clever!  Contemplating a MNT with it??!!

We are running to town (I ordered a door for the new laundry room and it came in while we were gone so I’m getting nervous they will send it back!?) also getting a few groceries and then back to work!!  Hope your weather is a nice as ours!  We have a perfect 70 degrees!

Busy Wednesday!

Here is another 3.5″x5.0″ Triple Circle Card from my 40 birthday cards…so sweet…

We have had a busy morning today.  We are staying with Kevin’s sister here in Portland who has 3 children…which makes any day busy :)… but this morning we babysat the youngest who has afternoon kindergarten… as people with very old children…you sorta forget how busy their “chatter” makes things!   We went to Lowe’s to get some bricks because Kevin is building some sort of patio for his sisters dog kennel!  I haven’t ventured out to see what he’s building but he enjoys doing that sort of thing.

I have gotten my Brother Scan and Cut machine out this afternoon so I plan to play with it and see what else I can learn to do with it!  Have a great “HUMP” day!

Thank You Puyallup WA!

Here is another cute little 3.5″x5.0″ made with the sizzix triple flip it circle dies.  This card was part of my 40 card birthday present.

We had an awesome time is Puyallup as usual.  So fun to see all the regulars Darlene, Yara, Sharon, Linda and so many more!  Had some awesome students in my classes and enjoyed our time here is WA!  Getting ready to head to Portland, OR today.  Washed some clothes, got my orders all together, and re-packed and got all organized again.  Hope your week has started out good too!
