Quick gift idea January 8, 2009

 I often make chocolate dipped preztels.  I have found Pringles cans are the perfect size container.  This is one version of the many I have made.  I hope you find them as fun and easy to make as I do.

My posts will be less frequent as I am in crunch mode.  I leave for the CHA show in California on the 23.    I am demonstrating and doing make and takes.  Plus the Designer Showcase , meetings and a few classes.   I hope to also be able to spend a bit of time with my online friends in REAL LIFE.  What a concept?

Love…… November 13, 2008

Any time of the year is  the right time of the year to show our love.  I have created a cover for an album. It is the KEEPER OF MY HEART stamp that has been etched into copper.  I will have a few more copper etched Unity images up later this week.  I hope you have enjoyed HIP HOP you are almost to the end.  Go visit Sarah for some cool stuff.! http://shadowsof-life.blogspot.com/

I have not posted a layout in quite a while.  This one is a bit older. Last year maybe more.  I promised myself I am going to catch up.  I ordered pictures from Costco this morning.

Bold Chabby Chic, No? November 5, 2008

Trying out some new looks.  I am thinking this is a bit to bold for shabby chic.  I think it is more of a tacky vintage look.  Is there a term for that yet?  OH no you should not have Chic?  I like to post my good, not so good and my down right bizarre.

Inchies, Inchies, Inchies September 25, 2008

And more good inchies.  I have a new addiction.  I must confess.  They are called inchies.  If you look below at the images you will notice they are all kept inside one inch squares.  Mini pieces of work.  So quick and so fun.

 Now that you have made it to the bottom and checked out all of the inchies tell me what you think?  Are you going to gie it a try?  Really they are fun and really quick.  I hope you have enjoyed looking at them as much as I did making them.  Now for some more viewing pleasure please stop by Cyndi’s blog.  It is her last Hip Hop with us this month as Guest DT member.  It was a joy seeing her work.  www.scrappychick.typepad.com

 

Now for a Christmas card.  This is one I am considering for the Christmas cards swap I am hosting over on SCS on the Unity Stamp Co.  section.

Time flies July 5, 2008

I do not know where the 3rd and the 4th went.  I had hoped to get to play with my Pazzles and alas I have not.  My inlaws left this morning and about an hour later my sister and her friend Heidi rolled in.  Casa de Meiners is open for business.  LOL  This bracelet can be seen in Crafts and Things.  This months issue.  A second bracelet is shown with it.  These are SO easy to make.  They are a great use of left over rubons.  I hope I have some free time soon.  CHA is 10 days away.  EEEEK

Seasons? April 2, 2008

 

Do you do your crafts in season, ahead of season or after season when you have been inspired?  Having been in the field for a few years now and working on assignment/publications/ manufacturers  It almost feels like the seasons run together.  I have in the last week worked on Christmas and fall.  I also have some general crafting projects in the works.  They are mostly home decor and easy gift type projects.  I have not done any scrapping lately and I am really beginning to miss it.  Yes, I am still taking the pictures but I am falling slowly behind.  We head to Wilmington on Sunday for about 6 weeks.  Hopefully some of that time can be used to catch up.  Wait… what am I thinking?  How in the world will I pack my entire craft room?  Do you think Gary will let me rent a UHAUL jsut for suppies? I guess I better get busy planning and packing so I can fit the stuff into one rubbermaid tote.  EEK

This is a little decorative tote.  I used Frances Meyer Products.  Not sure what I am going to do with it.  Maybe I can find a spot in the new place???
