This year is going to be sweet...

School starts tomorrow, and I get creative. These are gifts to the three teachers that mean the world to me. I thought this would be a kind way to start the year.

 Inside each one is a red candle. Very sweet! If you are interested in creating these apples, click here.

Coming back on-line!

Hello Everyone,
I have good news to share. My husband has a new found employment! In less than a month, he has made a lateral move to another company and starts later this week! I am so excited for him, and am overjoyed that we are financially stable once again.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support. I know our economy is improving, and our family has been very fortunate not to have been affected thus far, but when it hits, it is SO incredibly scary. I don't wish it on anyone.

I still have a few loose ends to pull together, and a craft room to dust off, but I will be returning to the craft world shortly. Again, thank you for your support and love, believe me it was felt!

Unforeseen Life Change

Dear Bloggers and my followers,
Due to an unforeseen life change, I am closing my blog for a while. I am unable to determine if and when I will be back. See you soon. Please keep us in your prayers.

Rubbernecker stamps - Flowers In The Breeze

I wasted no time. I came right home from the expo and had to play with all my new purchases. I whipped out my watercolor paper and a bunch of inks. I even went to the company's web site and watched a video on the new stamp I purchased. The company's name is: Rubbernecker stamps. Take a look:

 Aren't they amazing? I love the frames too! I know these photos are not the best. I had to take the photos inside. I wanted to post these quickly. There are many more to come! Thanks for dropping in! I can't wait to create some more!

 

I came, I saw, I totally enjoyed myself!

I had a great time at Stampfest today! I found a handful of great products that I just could not live without. Take a look!

Rubbernecker stamps make the best watercolor flower stamps EVER! This is my second flower stamp set I have purchased from this company. I met the man who designed these stamps. I love them! This one image takes four stamps to create. I even bought the frame stamps to go with them (see below) They look like they are hand drawn!

I picked up one more pack of pens, and mini pads. All colors I don't have.

 I wanted the flip flop die from PTI, but I found one from Impression Obsession!

 I needed TINY positive sentiments for my cards. These are perfect!

 I am so tired of refilling the small misters, so I picked up this hefty one!

The endless lines, and arm loads of stamps other customers were buying made me undeniably jealous, but also very sad. I even over heard one woman say "Please, don't tell me the total, I don't want to know." and she handed over her credit card to the vendor. Like.....Really?

I had a great time browsing and seeing some new trends emerging today. I have officially over-spent my crafting budget, but I have SO much card making to get done! Stay tuned to see some awesome creations!
