Under Construction!!

Well, we have finally (and I mean FINALLY!) almost finished the office (just need to paint).  Hubby and I now each have a space to work! (Of course, now that we've finished, our daughter decides to move out! Isn't that just my luck!? Well, we decided to make it a guest/kids room for the grandbabies.  It would now be too much work to make it my very own room!) So, I am slowly getting back into the groove.  I made a few things over Christmas and I just received a big box from Stampin' Up! today!  My goals are to slowly get back into it!  I will be slowly re-vamping my blog and maybe even coming up with a new one!  I am excited to start the New Year with new plans and goals!! Happy Creating!!

Wedding Accessories!

Well, I have finally finished my niece's wedding accessories!  I started making the basket and pillow a few weeks ago and although I was making some progress, it just wasn't coming together like I pictured.  I knew I wanted to incorporate flowers but I was stumped...until I ran across those cute felt flowers everyone is making with their Big Shot!  Inspiration struck and I finished them on Saturday.  I gave them to her on Sunday with 2 weeks to spare in case she didn't like them and she would have time to get others.  What do you think!

...and other stuff, too!

I have been busy working away on wedding accessories for my niece who is getting married at the end of June!  I love making wedding accessories!  As soon as I can (I will ask her first) I will post pictures! Did you know there 183 shades of white!  I am sure there are just as many shades of ivory.  This has been a bit of a problem because I haven't seen her dress!! But I know its ivory! Stay tuned....

And another one! Wow!

My neighbor's birthday happened to be today.  I don't know if she got cheated or not because it's Mother's Day-kinda like having a birthday on Christmas! Anyway, I made her a card and I really hope she liked it, even though it isn't purple!

Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

Well, I got my mojo back!  I still don't have a room to myself and I am still stamping on the dining room table.  But instead of using the whole table, I am using only a fraction of it because the dining room is still the "command center" since the office is "under construction."  Anyway...I got tired of doing nothing but blurfing and I have been inspired alot lately by Julia Stainton so I went and did a little shopping and Viola!! I have found I am much more creative when I am not limited to one brand. So there it is!  I will leave it at that!  Here is the card I made for my mom for Mother's Day.  She loves "bling" and I love black and fuchsia together.  I am so happy she loved it!  Then off we all went to Philippe's in LA for french dip sandwiches!  A great day!
