I am holding a Christmas in July class next month and just finished off the samples of the 4 cards we will be doing. I am worse than a kid at Christmas. I have been taking the cards to work each day to show everyone and I got the thumbs up on all of them… Read More »

I promise (hand on heart) that if you like Strawberries you will love this recipe. One head Romaine lettuceOne head Red lettuce 1 purple onion (chopped)1 quart strawberries… Read More »

Confession Time…. I was going to teach a class on this until it didn’t make it into the new Catalogue. Here is another sample using this Stamp set. I am still holding out that this will appear on the Dormant List.
I had great intentions today of getting some stamping and cards done but ended up spending over 5 hours on the phone with my ISP, Dell and Linksys. My laptop (wireless) worked fine last night but this morning nothing. The problem was finally narrowed down to a Windows update that occurred last night that interfered… Read More »
I have gone through the catalogue a few times and have many pages flagged. Some of the samples are beautiful. There is a different look and feel to the catalogue. I will admit – I am kind of surprised at the stamp sets that didn’t make it into the catalogue and some of the ones… Read More »
