Mmmmmm.......brains

Zombies are sort of a big deal.

I made a set of zombie blocks for a friend (gift she was giving) and I loved them.

I thought it might be nice to do some blocks again so I don't burn myself out on cards. When I paint blocks I found its easier if I do a few sets at a time. And as luck would have it the hubs and the boy left the house for a few hours so I set everything up assembly line style.

In the past I cut letters out, traced them, then painted them. I figured I have a HUGE amount of chipboard letters so I might as well use up some of my stash. I'm going to mix and match fonts. I'm going to coat them with white embossing powder and will distress them somewhat. I don't want them to be too shiny and white!

Lazy Sunday

I'm sitting here listening to the sound of thunder and rain. The good news is that I don't have to go outside to weed and water the garden!

I hope you get to enjoy your Sunday. I have a day of pinterest recipes to try out. :)

Upcycled!

I downloaded the handy blogger app for my iPhone. Maybe I'll post more often now.

Anyway, yesterday I reorganized my desk at work and needed a container for my binder clips. I use clips and paper clips....a lot. No joke. I have a lovely paper clip container that Tiki Laru made me a few years ago.

Wait? What was I talking about? Ahem. In my mess of a drawer I found an old tea canister that was perfect. I took it home and covered it in paper (naturally).

And now I present to you an upcycled tea container!

Happy Birthday InkStampPaper!!!

I have added a few items and will add more throughout the week.

time is not on my side

Sorry I haven't posted anything in awhile. T-ball season has started and games two nights a week is hell. Add to that the normal household chores and my massive garden and it seems like there are not enough hours in the day!

Anywho, posting may be sparse until the summer months are over. I did set up a Facebook page featuring things in my etsy shop. I'm still deciding on what I'm doing with the whole thing but the plan for now is to "feature" new products and/or items that have expired on the etsy page on the FB page and the blog. I also need to figure out the whole blog layout and adding a shopping cart for those items. I may have some free (kid-free) time next weekend to mess around with things for a bit.

As for creating...I am still subscribing to the monthly card kits from simonsaysstamp.com and LOVING them. I also throw together a card or two as time permits.

I guess I'm asking that you be patient while I try and fumble my way through some of these new changes and I thank each and every one of you who has supported me in the past year or so. I love you all! :)
