Happy Friday

Well, once again I find myself on here thinking where has the time gone? Seriously? Two months have gone by, and no post. Guess it's good I have no followers yet, no one to let down! I would love it if you became a follower on my blog...I have big ideas, I just have to get them going, and have the inspiration(you) to get them going! I have lots of new things going on with my shop, and have lots of going on at home too! There is a never ending supply of TO DO lists in my house! Happy Friday everyone!

A New baby in the family!

This morning my little sister had her first baby...a baby boy named Jacob. I have only seen pictures, but he is a cutie! Hard to believe my little sister is now a mommy! Time goes by much too fast! Anyway, didn't prepare an inspirational quote for the day or anything, but I figured the miracle of life is an inspiration in and of itself. It is such an awesome reminder that God is good, and He gives us such wonderful things~

Where does the time go?

So, it seems that I find the time every two months to get on here and write! Not sure where the time goes! Anyway, I have been very busy lately, and not able to work on a whole lot of my crafting ideas. I have lots of plans, and projects that I want to make...just need to find the time.

And of course yesterday...with plans to spend my girls entire nap time in my office making Christmas gift tags to put in my shop, and working on birth announcements; didn't happen since I fell on the stairs and broke my big toe!! Yuck! Instead I spent their nap time plus two hours in the urgent care in a not so great part of town. Interesting how things happen. It could have been so much worse...I was carrying my 11 month old daughter when I fell, and I protected her so she mainly just had a ride down the stairs on mommy. And, my two year old was on the stairs with us; but she was behind me. Had she been in front of me, she would have gone down with me. I feel like the accident was meant to happen, and God was there protecting my little girls from getting hurt...and my injury, from the way I fell with my foot and leg under me, could have been so much worse. Thank you Lord, for watching over us yesterday!!

Well, I will try to not wait so long to get on here again. I have some birth announcements in the the works for my sister and good friend, and as soon as they have their babies, I will post pics of the announcements on here. Just don't want to spoil the "announcment" before the babies are here! Bye for now!!

Scrap Paper Clean Up!!

One of my favorite materials to work with is PAPER! As is evident in a lot of my work since it is generally made from paper:) But...one of the things that tends to happen is that there are left overs when I make other projects or scrapbook. Many people might throw away the leftovers, or recycle them...but not me! I like to use my paper to the very end...to where there is no possible way to get any more of anything out of it!~

With all that said, that leaves me quite the box full of scrap paper, and the conundrum of what to do with all of it! Below is a pic of the box of paper, and some of the most recent projects that I have been working on using ONLY my scrap paper. There are other projects that I have already done, (see my fairy tags or my unicorn tags in my Etsy shop) and by the looks of the box there will be plenty more coming! Stay tuned!

This is a set of 8 cards that each measure 3x3" Made only using my scrap paper!

This is a set of 6, 3x3 Mini cards that were also made using my leftovers. These are great for many things...maybe you just need a quick little card for a gift, or they are also great for sending a sweet little note in your child's lunch box...what a nice surprise for them come lunch time! I am always in need of a little card or gift tag, so these are very nice to have handy!

Both of these sets of cards will be listed in my etsy shop, so feel free to stop by...comments are always welcome and appreciated! Hope you have a wonderful day!!

Sunday Inspiration!

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. ---Philippians 4: 13

Such a powerful message...Doesn't need much of an explaination:) Have a blessed week!

It's Been a While!

So, it has been a while since I have been on here to add any posts. I guess life with two little ones, a husband, an etsy shop, and lots of scrapbooking to do keeps me too busy to update this all the time! I do want to try more often to get on here with updates and fun things, and so will try to put forth more effort! Today, I added the Etsy Mini to the top of my blog, so that you can see the most recent items that I have added to my Etsy shop...My most recent endeavors have been the SHAKER BOXES:) They are so much fun to make, and I plan to make many more! So, check these out, and keep an eye out for more coming soon. Have a fabulous Friday, and a safe weekend:)
