New Creations!

Just a quick post to let you know we have been busy creating lots of new pretties for you! Hopefully I will find a free moment to actually sit and write a blog post. Between 3 kids, my veggie and flower garden, the biz, and the million other things us mommies do. unfortunately my blog is not high on the list. :(

I do however have a recent picture of my little sidekick! She is getting so big! 

Happy creating and have a wonderful week!

Freebie Of The Week!

 I am enjoying a relaxing Spring Break with my kiddos. Today we played outside planting flowers and enjoyed the warm sunshine. I have activities planned each day this week to keep them busy and out of trouble! 

I did however take a minute to list a few new items. We also have a fun FREEBIE this week!

We are giving away a pair of mini stamped glassine bags with each order of $25 or more before tax/shipping. Each bag will be filled with a few goodies as well! We hope you will stop by and visit us! Happy Spring!

Gesundheit!!

I have spent the last 3 weeks, as I'm sure many of you have, dealing with this nasty flu going around. It started with my 10 yr old son. We thought we had escaped it and life went on as normal until. . . my 7 yr old came home from school last week with a fever. So again I cleaned like a maniac hoping the baby wouldn't catch it! But of course she did. After fevers, nights up coughing, body aches and sore throats they are all getting better, and the oldest 2 are back to school. So just as life gets back to normal. . . who gets sick - yep, me. Of course mom doesn't get sick, who will cook and clean and play taxi and read The Wheels on the Bus for the 10th time in a row- the answer I'm sure you all know, sick or not we carry on!

 I did however find time in between napping and hot tea with honey to snap a few shots of some new flowers and embellishments we just got in. I have many more items to photograph and list as I start to feel better. Enjoy the rest of your week!

Valentine Card Tutorial

I love Valentine's Day. It is one of my favorite holidays. I usually do lots of baking and pack up fancy little boxes with cookies, cupcakes and other goodies and we hand deliver them to the kids teachers, family and friends.  I'll have to share this years treats with you when the time comes!

Another favorite thing is to make our own cards. Here is a quick project for 

Painted Valentine Cards 

 that is fun & kid friendly! 

Gather Your Supplies

• Blank note cards or card stock

• A variety of craft paints

• A sponge brush, piece of sponge or old cloth

•  Embellishments (doilies, ribbons, printed greetings, pictures, etc)  

 Simply squeeze a variety of paints on your plate and begin dabbing your sponge into several colors at once. Be sure to sponge off any excess onto a paper towel before stamping unless you prefer a heavier handed look. 

Dab paint onto one side of your blank card in no particular pattern. Adding bits of color and layering as you go! 

 

  

 Lay on newspaper and allow to completely dry. Mine took around 20-30 minutes. Then begin embellishing with your favorite goodies! 

It's also fun to paint gift tags as well! 

 If you prefer to let us do the work we have a variety of painted tags and cards available on our site and more are coming later this week! 

Have fun creating!
