Stampin' Up!!

I just started as a Stampin' Up Demonstrator!!  I am building up a few supply items; some wonderful stamps that of course no one could live without, some pretty paper, buttons, brads, ribbon and sparkles too.   Come mid to late April..  let the creativity begin!  

Working now to remodel the garage.  It is currently a craft work room.  It is about to undergo one of the transformations we like to do.  Some pretty plum,  yellow and green paint will fill this classroom with lots of creative spirit. 

Really enjoying making lots of samples and getting to know all about the many techniques.  Who knew you could do so much with paper and ink! 

What are some of the fun projects you have seen made with paper??

Snowman Soup

Snowmen are some of my favorites!  I attended a cardmaking class last week and came home with this adorable little project.  Soo Cute!

The ones I made in the class were brown; I think I like blue!

Daughter's Girl Scout project

I am so proud of my 12 yr. old daughter.  She is embarking on her Silver Award for Girl Scouts.  This is the highest award a girl her age can earn.  Earning the award involves a lot of work and organization.  She has grown so much over the last year and surprises me with her leadership skills and maturity.

She has chosen to organize multiple card making workshops for the community to make cards for children with chronic illnesses or diseases.  The cards are not just for the children; but also for the staff and family to support each other. The many different ideas of how and what she wants to do amaze me.   Her excitement and desire to accomplish this is fun to watch.  Can't wait to see the end result.

Just getting started....

Just getting started with this whole Blog thing. I guess it will have to be a work in progress for a while until I learn my way around here.  Hope to see you back here often...
