~Hey Foxy~

Good morning!!!

I had a sweet weekend with hubby and friends, I spent alot of time

with my girlyfriend watching Mad Men, and alot of time with

hubby and the boys making/eating cake, how was your weekend??

Have you seen the Happy Harvest release from Imaginisce?

This week they are having a party celebrating their newest line.

I genuinely adore this line with the cute little fox in the mix!~

I actually gave this card to my hubby, I just could not resist!

It's funny how 6 months ago I never would have thought I

would ever love making cards so much.

But I really do!

Go check out the Imaginisce Blog, I am sure they are hosting giveaways!

Happy Monday everyone!!!

I am off to prepare for out 4th of July party,

Sunday we went and bought a shade canopy and screen room for

the food and this week I will start cooking and mowing.

It's going to be a great week! :)

Good morning my crafty friends...

*family updates below*

Today is the last day of the FUN release party from Imaginisce.

Here is my last little project...little bobby pins with the

i-top brad on them and flowers with the new Glam Rocks in heart shapes.

I love these snap on bobby pins and I used the vintage lace I laid them on

for the actual brad part. Just silly girly fun :)

-Family Update-

Yesterday was a very long day full of X-rays and Dr. Apps for my boys.

Yes Bradley's hand was X-rayed and yes Justice was very sick.

We have a double round of medicine and upset kids today.

The X-ray results did not come in so I am STILL waiting on information,

and to be honest very stressed about it all.

I mean we went in at 8am and here I sit with no news and

they plan to "call me to come in" at any time since yesterday at 11am.

So today I wait to drop everything and head to the hospital. *sigh*

Anyways....happy thoughts, thanks for all the support!

~i-ROCK Cristal Clear BLOG HOP!!! (video tutorial)~

Good morning my crafty friends!!!!!

I work with acetate and acrylic all the time especially being the

DT for Clear Scraps acrylic. I was finding my i-rock gems were popping

off my acrylic pages and cards, so I came up with this technique to

make them last and stay on...check it out

Don't forget to watch the credits *wink*

Imaginisce is on day 3 of the Berrylicious Release PARRTAYY!

Today is card and this is my card, I used my Cricut Imagine to create the BEE

and the TITLE of this card (Sentimentals Cart.)and I had so much fun misting!

OUT FOR PUBLICATION SORRY

You can see I used my i-rock of course and my favorite glue from Glue Arts

the Glue Glider Pro and the UCUT foam adhesive!

OUT FOR PUBLICATION SORRY

I even hand stitched on this bad boy LOL

GO HURRY! Try to win on the Imaginisce Blog!

I have not posted a chicken update for a while now, but I know

some of you are curious. We get between 7-10 eggs daily

even in the 8 degree weather they lay at least 6-7 eggs.

Since the boys had the day off I had them take the chickens outside

for some bugs and pecking, it always seems to perk the girls up.

I know these boys are ready for baseball and spring!

Chicken butts! ♡♥♡♥♡

And of course the ever faithful companion Daffodil.

She never bothers the chickens, just watches them.

We are planning on getting 5 more chicks in a few weeks and they will be

carefully hand raised. BECAUSE we need a rooster! Once we have a rooster

we will be able to raise our own chickens from now on.

I have a special giveaway when this Berrylicious madness ends! :)

Please stay tuned to my blog and send your friends!

~Thank you for stopping by~

~Sunday Punch WINNER & i-rock Fun~

Good morning my amazing crafty friend,

I am always so excited to wake up and blog.

You know I love scrap paper manufacturers and

Echo Park is so much fun! I shooshed everyone out

of my room this morning so I could make this card.

You can see I used my handy dandy Imaginisce i-rock for the spider strand

I love that I always have little gems on hand for this!

We had an amazing night last night,

my son's teacher has an annual Halloween Party for the children in

first grade and she has 15 acres and a hay ride, so it

was such fun! I made chili and cookies, the chili was a huge hit.

The only bad thing was I forgot my camera *Ouch*

This morning I woke up and the boys brought me

a pile of presents and breakfast, it was so sweet.

Included in there was the new Eminem CD ♥♥

It's a great Sunday! I am off to the shooting range this morning

for some hubby and wife time *YEA*

Ok enough of my chattering. hehehe

I know you are here for the Corner Border Punch WINNER

~Halloween Acrylic Fun!~

Good morning my crafty friends.

Halloween is fast approaching, usually I have all the costumes

made by now and we are a bustle with spooky fun,

but this year I am knee deep in softball and way behind.

Instead I am using my time crafting fun Halloween projects.

I saw this acrylic heart in my stash last night

and thought "Oh my goodness I love Halloween, it has always been

so fun for our family, why not use the heart? Go crazy girl"

Yes, I say things like "Go crazy girl" in my head to myself LOL

I just wanted to have some fun and be funky...

I love the end result and the boys are so excited about these signs.

I don't even know why they just are LOL

For this project I used:

Clear Scraps Acrylic Heart (surprising right?)

Echo Park Papers

Imaginisce i-top and i-rock

Netting & Pearl strands from the fabric shop

Elmer's Exacto scalloped scissors

Which reminds me.....

Did you know Clear Scraps is having a Halloween Crafty

Contest? They are RIGHT HERE! You should enter.

I have a VERY a busy week coming up

Friday: the Gypsy WINNER will be randomly

chosen and announced on this blog so be sure to check back.

Monday: A NEW Gypsy GIVEAWAY!

Tuesday: A Surprise Guest Blogger (PINK POWER!) many amazing giveaways too!

Wednesday: You might just see my face and an interview pop up somewhere special!

So stay tuned, as always it will be hopping~

I have a very sick boy home today, so we will

be snuggling up with the breathing machine today. :(

Hopefully tomorrow he will be able to breathe a little better on his own.

~Have a beautiful fall Thursday~

~THANK YOU for stopping by and being such amazing crafty friends~

~Hello Sunday & i-rock Bag WINNER~

Happy Sunday my crafty friends.

I had such a great time in Kentucky yesterday!

You know the people at scrapbook Village are amazing.

Not only the owner Bonnie and her right hand woman Janett

but the customers are all so amazing and sweet.

The class went really well, we had a BALL!

I gave away one of these i-rock bags AND

an i-top in the class.

I will be returning for the weekend retreat in November

doing another i-rock class and hopefully yet another class!

I took a minute to snap a picture of the i-rock bag today,

here is the front of it...

and here is the back. It holds so much too!

It stormed like crazy yesterday, but after the storm while

the sun was setting we had some amazing skies.

It was like pockets of sun through heavy black clouds.

I went out and snapped these shots before the storms began again.

OK on to the WINNER of the i-rock bag!

WOOHOO Love this bag!!!!!!
