Friends are Like Seashells…..

I am still on vacation at the beach....my happy place.  As much as I’d like to, I’m not walking on the beach (still in re-hab from ankle surgery), I would usually be collecting shells....I have them all over my house in glass jars from trips to Myrtle Beach, Key West, Clearwater Beach, and even from… Continue reading Friends are Like Seashells…..

Let’s Emboss – Seashells!

I had a little stamping playdate with a good friend yesterday. It was great to just sit and create together. We wanted to test out the Gilded Leafing Embellishment on a piece of cardstock that had been embossed using the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder.   That didn't go as well as we wanted, so we switched… Continue reading Let’s Emboss – Seashells!

Good Morning Magnolia!

My mother-in-law, who passed away in 2015 from Alzheimer’s Disease, loved flowers.  She could make anything grow, even flowers and plants that she would give to me and I would seemingly kill, she would bring them back to life.  She had a beautiful yard full of flowers...that included a HUGE magnolia tree.   June 6th… Continue reading Good Morning Magnolia!

Feels Like Spring!

Our weather last week was unusually warm....in the 70’s!  So I thought maybe Puxatawny Phil, the famous Groundhog in Pennsylvania is right and warm weather was on it’s way.  Until we got to this past Saturday....that 70 degree weather became 32 degree weather.  So in hopes of bringing back the warm weather, I thought it… Continue reading Feels Like Spring!
