Eeewwwwww Witchy Woman......

Halloween by far and I mean really far, were talking miles and miles here....is my all time favorite holiday ever! Seriously how can you go wrong with dressing up and gorging on candy? PERFECTO! So here is my latest little project for Halloween! My sister saw some cute witch decorations last year and gave me the idea to fiddle with, so here's my take on Witch! Too much fun! Now.....what else can I do?:)

Happy Fall Ya'll!

I can't believe I'm already working on Fall stuff already even though the high temps here are making me more than ready for Fall to come. So here are the Fall letters I'm doing and teaching a class on as well as my Seasonal Hanger for September is an Apple. The whole time I was decorating these two I kept having the hardest time trying to embellish embellish embellish and then I realized KISS....Keep it simple stupid. Something totally foreign to me, keeping it simple, but then again it's probably why I love Fall decor. It's just simple, soft and I love it!

The Fall Letters

September's Seasonal Hanger Apple...just in time for school!This is August's Ladybug

Here is our yummy cupcake, perfect for hanging up

for a birthday and for whenever you get a craving!:)

Here are a couple pictures Dawn Simpson sent me of some of her latest projects! I think they are great! I love seeing what you guys are up to so send your pictures my way!

These Sophia letters were done in the fontdinerdotcom font, one of my favorites! I love the greens and blues Dawn used! Great job Dawn!

Dawn did these cute I do's for a friend getting married
using the same font as the Family Letters.
Thanks Dawn for sending these in! I love em'!

Show me whatcha Got!

I just love seeing every one's different ideas, so I when I get pictures in I'll try to get them posted asap! Here are a few my sister sent over that her sister-in-laws put together! Enjoy!

Here is Candy's flower she did for her seasonal hanger! Then she matched her urns with flowers to go along with! It looks great!

Candy also put together these cute letters for her soon to be born nephew! They are so fun!

Here are her sis-in-law Courtney's Spring letters! Her other sis-in-law Rishelle did these ones! I just love them both and love seeing how different they turned out! Great job ladies!:)
Stay tuned....more to come!!!!!

It's Etsy time!

Okay, I finally took the time to get going on Etsy! Yes, there's only one thing on there but I'm working on it! It took forever to figure out the banner since I'm computer illiterate, but I'm hoping to have more stuff up and better pictures this week!

Also wanted to let the great ladies from my Seasonal Hanger class know how much I appreciate them! I look forward to this class all month long. Almost everyone orders a kit, but I have 4 gals that come to class and it's been really fun to get to know each of them! They are so funny and we just have a blast chatting together! Thanks for making me laugh Karen, Dana, Cary & Suzette!!!

The heat is ON!

Yes, a weird title for my post but it seemed fitting since the heat has finally arrived for our summer here in Boise! I think this is the rainiest climate or spring at least that I have ever lived in! This summer has been busy and I love all the fun projects going on!

So some of these little projects I had to share with you all and do a tad of bragging about the super talented ladies I get to rub shoulders with! You guys inspire me and bring complete joy to what I do! Seeing you have as much fun creating this stuff as I do makes my job completely satisfying, so....THANK YOU!!!!

First up are a few things by Karen Sanders, super talented and creative gal! All of these were made to hang off of her Seasonal Calendar, the possibilities are endless! I just love the paper she used for this fun coffee cup!

I never thought I'd have so much fun cutting out a shoe, but seriously it made me giggly, is that even a word? Too much fun!Next up are these adorable Gabriel letters done by Dawn Simpson! The font is Rustler and she decorated them in vintage Disney papers! I love it! Especially how each letter is slightly skewed, it just adds a bit more fun!

Back by popular demand are the Family letters. I have had more requests for these letters than anything else I have done. I guess it's true, there's nothing more important than family, ha ha ha, yes like the laugh by John Travolta in Grease.... These papers were so fun and I was inspired by my Sis-in-law Autumn who did her little girls room in these colors. She was actually spotlighted on a blog and I'll find the link.... http://freshandvintage.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/10/index.htmlAnother gal needed a quick last minute banner made up for a wedding shower in Chocolates and Pinks! This was fun!

Also had to show you my Father's Day tie I made for my Hubby Britt. He loves bold geometric designs and I was so bummed I ripped the paper on one side a bit and of course only glitter glue could remedy the situation. He wasn't so sure, but after my little girl Avery tried to sell him on the idea and he saw the end result he was happy. I'm thinking it would be fun to do a different pattern each year....we'll see! Happy Fathers Day!

So thank you gals for sending me in some photos to share! I love seeing what you do and hope your ideas will inspire others as much as they have me!

You've had a Birthday Shout HOORAY!

Okay, I finally got around to getting my Birthday Banner done and here it is! I got a little carried away with the glitter glue, but I just couldn't help myself!

I wanted to do something summery....is that even a word? I just love decorating with the seasons and holidays and the little ants that are being a nuisance in my garage inspired me with these Summer Letters.

This Cupcake Candy and I made for our kid's Preschool Teacher and thought it's perfect for Birthday celebrating throughout the year. The bottom is a plaque with chalkboard paint so you can write in the name of whose birthday you are celebrating! Fun idea and it sits on your counter. Avery was all to happy to be the display model....

Just in time for 4th of July I did a cute star cut out for the Seasonal Calendar. I love Americana stuff and I love stars!
