Get the Party Started

An entire week early!

In festive colors, I'm not sure I would ever want to open this. How about you?

What is it, you ask?

It's microwave popcorn.

Something like this would be great for a 'lil get together with friends, or better yet...for Dad!

His day is coming up in a few weeks, so I'm starting to TRY to think "Manly". Tough for me, since most men I know shy away from pink. And I have a hard time creating anything without pink, flowers, or fancy ribbons.

If I don't come up with something dripping of testosterone, I will hear my husband saying (with a jovial lisp): THUPER!

Looks good to me!! Man cards are hard, and your DH sounds about like mine! I live with him and our three sons. I get my revenge by chuckling quietly to myself whenever I notice the glint of glitter on their faces!

Warm Little Sweetness

I must admit that I have become quite fond of making little bitty sweaters. It all started on a recent trek to India traveling for business. I needed to carry just enough yarn to keep my busy bee hands occupied during the evenings in my hotel room. There are just so many hats a person can make, right? Anyway, having limited quantities of yarn, I decided to give a small sweater a go. This is the first one I created. I had just the perfect little buttons to add! (It really is amazing what one might find in their cosmetic bag) I love it. This sweater is also featured on the Pinque Peacock blog since I used her buttons. (Go visit and see the buttons up close) This makes the sweater a really one of a kind project! This next one is perfect for a little preemie. It's so tiny, but features a great big snowflake! Close up of the snowflake…. I also sewed on one of the StampinUp! Frosted Finishes Embellishments. I think it finished it off nice

Inspirational Unity Blog Hop

I have three huge passions related to art: photography, jewelry making, and paper crafts. Above combines two of those passions: jewelry making and paper crafts. The necklace featured is a gift for a friend. I used Unity Stamp Company stamps in all the projects shown in the picture above. If you look closely, you'll even see that I used the Hawaiian Border and the swirls in the lambs fleece of Love Ewe to make the bronze charms in the jewelry above! Besides the stamps used, other materials included Bronz Clay, antiqued bronze findings, and various beads. Of course, what gift isn't complete without packaging? You can find the tutorial for the bag Here . Paper and cardstock, punches, and ribbon used are from Stampin Up! while the stamp used is from Unity's March Kit of the Month . People who know me know how I strive to use humor everyday...and especially to make light of otherwise stressful situations. So, my quote for the day has absolutely nothing to do with my project. I
