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…..
Who remembers the tongue twister...She sells seashells by the seashore? Can you say it three times fast? Me neither. Who likes to collect seashells? Me! My happy place is the beach. I love to sit and watch the waves and I also love to walk the beach and look for shells. I have a very… Continue reading Seashells by the Seashore…..
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.

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!
There are lots of quotes about flowers and happiness, but I think this is my favorite — Happiness blooms where seeds of joy and love are planted. In terms of real flowers bringing joy....I’d have to plant some seeds, but I am not a good gardener, so this pretty paper from Stampin’ Up! called Happiness Blooms is… Continue reading Happiness Blooms

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!
