My other office!

My other office!

My son took this picture of me on our deck. I think this is my favorite place aside from my craft room to work. I am screened in so those peskie mosquitos can’t terrorize me and I am surrounded by my garden which makes me smile. We use this deck, all Spring, Summer and Fall.  We even have had movie night out here for the boys at night.

Now I am actually working.

Now I am actually working.

I like to work on my laptop writing posts out here. It’s relaxing (well when the boys aren’t fighting) and I actually get work done while they ride scooters and play in the yard.  I also like coloring up images with my Copics in the natural light – easier on the eyes!

My favorite thing to do out here is read and many of books have been devoured here.

Have a blessed day!

Fun Photos Friday – #12

August 9, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Happy Friday!  Wow did this week fly by. I have been running around having fun with my girlfriend who is visiting from California this week and trying to keep up with my posts at the same time.  Even squeezing in a tiny bit of crafting and I mean tiny!

Well on with this week’s photo…

Well I could possibly be the last person to get hooked on the Avatar The Last Airbender Cartoon series. When it was first airing on the television a few years ago, I missed the beginning and realized that it is important to start from the beginning to appreciate the cartoon. My sister-in-law and two of my brother-in-laws kept telling me how it is really great.

When the series ended my husband bought the DVDs.  So this summer, almost nightly we all sit around the TV and watch 2 sometimes 3 episodes back to back.  The boys love it and can I tell you I am really enjoying it. It  is great for kids and adults and has some really great messages underlying the story lines.

This week’s picture is of the boys taking some warrior stances from Avatar while we were hanging out at Crane Beach.

Have a great weekend!

I have been a big fan of Mo Manning Stamps for years now. I own a pretty big digital library. I love the flexability of digital stamps. But lately my LSS has been carrying Mo Manning clear stamps. And I am a sucked in and buy them too. These are my two recent purchases. I have seen some amazing cards created with these images and am inspired to make my own.

I will be sure to post some images as soon as I make some.

Have a blessed day!

Joann’s Haul: Prima, DCWV and more

August 5, 2013 by Leave a Comment

I stopped by Joann’s to pick up a few things and was I ever pleasantly surprised to see that they now are caring the Prima line of products. I think I did a happy dance in the aisle.  Of course it was short lived because one of the boys disappeared around an aisle and I had to locate him before partaking in the goodies I had found.

Once I located my precious boy, I stood before all of the lovely Prima products.

This is the Labelle Jade handmade flowers and some metal clips.

Oh I really love the colors they have for these beautiful handmade flowers. They are screaming a cool autumnal project to me.  My friend Joan will smile when she sees these butterfly clips because she knows how much I love butterflies. So she will understand me dancing in the aisle of a store when I saw these cute paper clips.  I will definitely be using them on some cards and craft projects. The size is a about 1×1 1/2″ so they will look great on a lot of things.

So the new DCWV papers is why I was going to visit Joanns in the first place. I can’t tell you how cool the burlap paper is except that I have been taking time to run my fingers on it quite often since I bought it.  I can see endless fall projects using this paper. Oh and it is acid free too so no worries using it in scrapbook albums.  The corrugated paper comes in six different colors as seen on the cover and I am going to have a bunch of fun using them.

A great birthday stamp on clearance!

This year, I am on the hunt for great sentiment stamps and when I saw this great birthday stamp for less than $4, I had to have it. It is a great size for cards and the font is really pretty.

So now you can see why I was doing my happy dance in the craft aisle at Joann’s!!!

Have a blessed day!
