Awesome Copic Holder

Found this holder at Target. Of course, it is supposed to be for utensils for a picnic but it's perfect for my copics.  It matches my craft room and has room for more.  The best part it was free since I had a gift card from the Pharmacy :) 

Punch Party

Had so much fun with my staff tonight.  We had a Punch Party at my house.  Everyone brought paper and we just punched borders and shapes for hours.  Never new I had so many punches. I've been collecting since 1999.  They are usually stored in several places so I never counted them til tonight over 100.

Unity July 2011 Challenge

This is the first time that I have entered a Unity Challenge.  When I saw the sketch I knew I had to do it.  All you have to do is follow the sketch and use a Unity Kit of the Month Stamp.  I just love the July Kit  and knew it was perfect for the sketch.  Once I got going I couldn't stop.  Ended up making 9 cards from the kit and with the same sketch.  Hope you enjoy!

Cards Challenge

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted.  I've been so busy.  At the beginning of  the year, I set a goal that I wanted to make 365 cards this year well I am far behind. I have taken photos but haven't posted them.  I will try and dig them up and I want to do a count of the ones I have done.  I guess my problem is that I give them away and don't want the person to see them ahead of time and then end of forgetting to post them.  It is my goal to myself to do better. 

Erika and I enjoy making cards together and sat down and made some Tuesday.

And the beautiul card that Erika made for me:

More Buckets

Erika wanted a container to hold her trick or treat candy.  She is going to be a bumble bee and said wouldn't it be cool if I could make something that looked like a bee hive.  This is what we came up with :)

These are Erika's buckets that she made all by herself...I think she did an awesome job!!!
Also wanted to say how proud I am of Marcus...he made straight A's again in PreIB Middle School.

Halloween Buckets Inspired By Melody Ross

Erika and I made these halloween buckets.  I had the buckets and knew that I wanted to decorate them.  Then a friend, Zanne, shared a link to Melody Ross of Brave Girls.  She had decorated a bucket to be a trash can for her craft area.  She showed how she had decoupaged the bucket and the ideas just started flooding in.
I knew what I wanted to do.  Love how they came out :)  Hope you do to.
