Do you have a favorite that you cannot craft without?

thumb-bunny2Believe it or not I have started on our Easter prep.  Ha ha ha, Just kidding.  Maxx and I were making thumb print animals and I came up with this corny saying.  It will be the perfect card for one of the grandparents.

Sometimes I get burried in my work and I forget that I am supposed to come up for air.  I lost a few days over the weekend with the inlaws in town and Maxx home from school.  I have been working in CS4 using Illustrator creating marketing material for CHA.  Unfortunately I cannot show anything until after the show in January.  gnome-winter-scene

This Cute little GNOME is from Odd Bird Planet.  He came to me in an image swap.  I think I might just have to order him.  I have always thought gnomes were adorable.  I like Smurfs too.  I will post a few more images from the swap later.

Let me just say O”HAPPY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I took a class today and it was wonderful.  It was a technique class and we did not come home with a finished project.  I had so much fun playing.  I actually showered and put on non-stained clothes to go play with paper clay.  Next week when I attend a class again I will shower but revert back to my crafting clothes.  Hey when you stay at home and cook, clean and create why bother taking a shower or gettig out of your pjs?  No one is seeing me or close enough to smell me.  NOT that I stink.  My deodorant is strong enough for a man but made for a woman.  Enough yammering.  Hopefully I will be able to finish my little project over the weekend.  I made this last weekend.

 

Blog Candy – A few of my favorite things October 10, 2008

Thought I would celebrate a milestone I thought it would take years to reach.  10,000 hits.  I do not know why I resisted a blog for so long. I guess I thought I would be talking to myself.  Well, many times I still think I am.  So for all of you who put visit and see my misspellings, typos, grammatical errors, odd sense of humor  here is a little reward for putting up with that and more.  This pile is a few of my favorite companies plus a few things I have duplicates of or quite simply have not used.  (Okay, disclaimer - some how  I have 2 Mr. Fluffy the Owls and I used them both)   Prism Paper, Prima Flowers, Beacon Zip Dry, Kaiser Craft, Zsiage tag book & Alphabet, Frances Meyer brown alphabet rubons, Penny Black Stamp, Clearsnap Chalk ink Chestnut Roan Cat’s Eye, snaps, brads and who knows what else I will toss in by the time I make it to the post office.

To qualify – leave a post by Sunday Midnight EST.    Not a sucking up post either!!!  Seriously what do you like to see in a blog?  I know what I like and it might not be what you like.  So let me repeat NO SUCKING up comments.  :-)
