come on baby, let's do the twist...

In an interesting turn of events I was informed today that I can still keep my scrapbooking business as well as this venture I am taking on. This weekend is a huge milestone for me. I am setting up my store front at the Old Town Emporium in downtown Kyle. I hope you will check it out if you are in town. Within just a few weeks I will officially launch the website and it will be a new huge chapter in my life. This week Lucas is out of town skiing so I hope to have a lot of time to create! If you are reading send me some feedback and let me know what you would like to see altered next.

time sure does fly!!!

I had high hopes for this weekend. I got a new desk for my scrapbook room (my closet) and I am so excited about it. I just knew I would finish organizing it and that it would give me ample time to finish a lot of products that still need a little touch ups. Boy, was I wrong. I didn't even start on the project...maybe because I didn't even finish the desk. Oh well, there is always tomorrow. This week I am heading to the Emporium to set up some of my inventory. In addition to my hand crafted items I will also have bags from Thirty One that are monogrammed with the two local high school slogans. I am sure that will be a huge draw. Stop by the Emporium - if you make a purchase let me know and I'll give you a free coaster album just for your loyalty. See you there!

what a cool gift!

I have always had a hard time shopping for kids' birthdays. I mean, we buy our kids what we want them to have and for the most part I find it very difficult to know what another kids wants/needs. I was so excited when I got the idea to make embellished words for a few of Logan's friends. The first one up was a bit of a challenge...you see, Cameron turned 5 and he LOVES Batman...so...here is what I came up with:

it's a dog eat dog world!

It's time to start preparing for the biggest little dog gathering in the world! The Buda Wiener Dog Races are heading our way and that means thousands of chihuahuas and their owners will descend on this area. One thing we should all know about dog lovers - they consider their pets family and sometimes the four legged companions get treat better than the two legged kind! If Buster wants a new collar - Buster gets a new collar. If FiFi needs an upgraded stroller - out with last years model it it! Last year my booth generated a good bit of traffic. This year I plan to take it up a notch. That means I have all four paws in the mod podge (paws, oh man, I crack me up) I am busy making every kind of pet themed item you can imagine. The only problem is I just ran out of adhesive...I'll post pictures tomorrow!

spending a day of love doing what I love...

Today is Valentine's Day. My dear sweet husband planned a very romantic day. We had reservations at Kobe (japanese steakhouse) and went to a movie...the best part?!? In between the two he let me sneak in to buy some paper to finish up a few projects. I am hoping to have a wide array of products ready for the official website launch.

In addition, we had a wonderful converstation about renting workshop space. He's not totally on board but at least he wearing a life jacket! Hang on it's bound to be a fun ride!!!

it just keeps getting better!!!

I want to start by thanking each of you that has been so supportive during this journey. Many of my friends and customers are eagerly calling awaiting the launch. It won't be long. In the meantime I want to show you some of the exciting new product that I have gotten. I am fast and furiously getting things altered. For now...here's a sneak peak...I want to start by thanking each of you that has been so supportive during this journey. Many of my friends and customers are eagerly calling awaiting the launch.

not enough hours in the day...

do you hear that? It is the sound of my mind spinning 110mph! A few of my wholesale orders have arrived and now I am fast and furiously putting samples together to post pictures here and to get the website shopping carts up and running. I have to say, I have gotten some amazing feedback. People are loving these things. This weekend one of my favorite products arrived - a crown chipboard album. I love it so much I have already ordered more. I hope to have enough products and samples to start the rental space next week. How exciting! Stay tuned...it's gonna be a fast ride...

the possibilities are endless...

I am so excited! I have heard back from many of my wholesalers and I am very happy to report there is a lot of good stuff on the way. I am working on some samples of each project and will post pictures as soon as I can.

Today is also the day that the website should launch - that is very exciting!
