Coming soon – a redo of my content. I still crochet and knit, but, recently, I have begun deco journaling and building a planner. I hope to document everything here and on Instagram. I also hope to open a Patreon where I will share exclusive content and host swaps and giveaways.

The good news is I finished 15 sets of pages for my December Daily album. But, they are not photographed, yet. I’m thinking of trying to scan them instead. I don’t really like how the photos are turning out. I will be doing that later today and will post an update and/or pictures.
Also, I decided to announce the surprise mentioned in the first DD post. I have TWO sets of number stickers, so, I decided to make two albums and give one away. An important note, though, the giveaway album will have the same cover, the same papers, and the same numbers. But, it will only have a few of the embellishments that I have two of. So, you will get to decorate it even more with your own ideas.
I will officially announce the contest when I post the 25th page, hopefully, next week. My plan is to have people post comments and I will draw a number, but, I would like to get at least 50 comments to make it more competitive. So, if you know anyone who would like an album, please pass the word.

Tuesdays and Thursdays are very busy around here. No time for heavy crafting. So, no new pages to post today.
I did list a new item in the shop. Journaling tags for scrappers. They are made from card stock that has been stamped with journaling lines. I added one of my flowerlette embellishments to the top.
They are available here.
I am starting two new projects this month.
Project number one: I discovered Ali Edward’s December Daily project this past week. I only started reading her blog this year, so, I didn’t participate last year. I thought it might be a fun way to use these stickers. I originally planned to do an advent calendar, but, this is close enough. 🙂 I also didn’t realize how many Christmas themed papers I have. So, I have an idea and will be building my own album. I have the papers picked out and will be cutting and assembling the “base” for the album to be filled in daily in December. I will be posting pictures of completed pages, hopefully, every day or so.
Plus, stay tuned for a little surprise to be announced when I post page number 25.
Here’s a sneak peek at my selection of papers.
Project number two: In honor of Thanksgiving, I am calling November, thank you month. I have a lot of thank you stamps and am going to try to use each of them to make a bunch of thank you cards for the shop.

Just a very quick update regarding my absence. I have been getting two children settled into college life and a third started with homeschooling. Plus all of the usual distractions of life. It seems every week, what I planned to do and I what took priority have not been one in the same.
For instance, I have this week off from chauffeur duty (hubby is off work), so, I figured I would get a few very belated chores done around the house and…wait for it…wait for it…some new work to put in my shop. Silly me. Nope. Not gonna happen.
Anywho, I have some pictures to upload and some videos to pass along and some updates to the project to post. Next week?? Yeah, we’ll see. 🙂
‘Til then.
p.s. More baby lizard news. Hubby found one, one morning, a couple of weeks ago – in one of my yarn bins. Yikes and how’d that get there?

Flowerlette #4 is up. It is a custom birthday card. It says “Happy” on the cover and has the age inside – as in, Happy 1, etc.

Don’t forget to enter the giveaway!
4 down – 9996 to go!
Flowerlette #3 is up. It is a special kind of card. I have a lot of alphabet sets – chipboard, stickers, rub ons, etc. – that I need to use. So, I came up with this idea.
This is a custom card. First, choose your letter. The front of the card will look the same except it will show the letter you choose. Then, choose your word for the inside of the card. It can be a name or any other word, e.g. A is for Awesome! Or, you can leave the inside blank and write your own word or message.

Flowerlette #2 is up in the shop. It is OOAK. The background paper was hand stamped using a set from Papertrey Ink.

I have four new cards finished which will go up in the shop this week. The first one will go up tomorrow morning (if you’re reading this on Wednesday, it should already be up) It is a generic “hello” card. The flowerlette cards will be OOAK, except this one. It is a run of 150 cards I did several years ago, but, didn’t sell all. I have a number of them left and will list them until they run out.

BTW, the green yarn I used was hand dyed with lemon lime koolade in my dishwasher.
The other three are a set (each sold separately) of a sentiment card; a birthday card; and what I’m calling an alphabet card. Each was made using the same ink, hand stamped patterned paper, and, of course, include a flowerlette.
I am working on my first embellishment kit which will be suitable for card making or scrapbooking. It will include a set of flowerlettes for your use, plus, a number of handmade embellishment elements from the cards in the set. The kit will include a flowerlette “daisy” like the one from card #1 above; hand stamped sentiments from the other cards in the set; a hand stamped patterned paper from the card set; a journaling tag; an element of three (to be explained, later); and more.
I will also be listing some flowerlette mini note card sets and altered moleskine journals. Stay tuned.
