I got a call from Julianna Hudgins, spokesperson for Sizzix, over the weekend as I was visiting with my friend Kim in NC. She asked if I would be willing to help out with an eClips training event for AC Moore today. The eClips is Sizzix’s brand new electronic cutter that is just hitting stores now. I said sure- however, I was in a panic. My eClips machine that had been so generously sent to me in September was still sitting in the box! (more…)
General Chatter
Barn Sale!
Thursday, October 21st, 2010
About 10 years ago, our family moved. We’d lived in our last house for 8 years which was the longest we had ever lived anywhere, since we were a military family and moved every three years or so. It was not the best time to buy a house- but really, when IS? Our oldest was in his second year of college with the remaining three kids going every two years after him. (more…)

And with it comes Halloween! I was in a craft store last week and picked up a fun orange album for $1. It will hold 4″ x 6″ photos and would be perfect for keeping track each year of your favorite little goblins in the costumes. But this album was pretty plain and needed some pizzazz. (more…)

Occasionally I pick up pretty cups and saucers at the thrift shop. They are nice to have on hand for those times when you need a last minute gift. I heard my friend Jenn was under the weather and wanted to cheer her up. Luckily it happened to be a day I had chocolate in the house! (more…)

OK, I’m back! Had to discipline myself this week to keep off the computer so I could concentrate on getting my next collection finished and off to Sizzix. And now on to the next deadline… (more…)
Happy Birthday Patty!
Thursday, August 26th, 2010
I am headed out today to celebrate my good friend Patty’s birthday. We’re going to lunch in a cool little town that’s famous with the “horse crowd.” Living outside of DC, I am so lucky to have interesting places to visit within a radius of fifty miles. As I recall, last year we celebrated Patty’s birthday by visiting a distillery (more…)
Recycled Tuna Can
Thursday, August 19th, 2010A few years ago I discovered solid white albacore tuna- so much better than what I had been eating all my life- chunk light. There was no going back. I have it fairly frequently for lunch and those 12 oz. cans started piling up. I happened to have a roll of ribbon next to the can and it occured to me, that might be a cool (more…)
