spellbinders-pringles-can1 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?

 I love my monkies.  For those of you who do not know me I have an affinity for the slightly odd.  Especially when it comes to decorating.  I have a monkey chandalier.  We had it in out house in Cincinnati and I insisted on bringing it with us on our move.  I loved this paper collection the minute I saw it.  I taught this class at Mega Meet in Michigan a few years ago and I also had it picked up for publication in an Australian magazine.  I mailed it out about 8 months ago and it has yet to be published.  Guess it is just one of those things that will happen when it happens. 

 I would love a nice monkey stamp.  Know of one?  If so send me a link. 

 I have found a few new blogs that I absolutely love.  I need to find them again and add some links to the side.  Do you have any favorites?  Share if you do.

Here is a quick pic.  Made this for CHA winter.  Pretty much all Prima.  Gotta love their stuff. I also used Glimmer Mist and Pazzles Creative Cutter.
