OK let's get back to me ;)



So here's is my little creation for the blog hop:

Who doesn't love ruffles?!







I used the eCraft to whip up those hearts with fabric and freezer paper.  It was a snap!!
Here's a quick video to show you how easy!

The Ruffles were just as simple.  I just sewed a straight line down a strip of fabric then took the top thread and gathered it together until I liked the ruffliness.



After that, I sewed the hearts on the burlap then sewed a straight line to secure the ruffles.


To make it a magnet board, I placed a piece of sheet metal on top of a canvas board then wrapped the burlap around that and hot glued it down.




I grabbed some more fabric and hot glued a loop on the back so I could hang it.  Doesn't it look perfect on the wall, ready for some love notes...hee hee


 And guess what?!  I'm giving a Ruffled Heart Magnet Board away!!!  Yep, a lucky winner wins one of these!!!

weekend outing.

Something exciting is happening this weekend and i'm excited to share with you guys what i'm doing.

Saturday, i'll be driving to Seattle.  I'll spend the night there and then catch a 7 AM flight to L.A.
I'll be picked up and taken to the Anaheim Convention Center.

What's at the Convention Center, you ask?

CHA!!

In all my years of scrapbooking and crafting, I would have never ever ever thought I would go to CHA.  Never.

But a miracle has happened.  The company of Craftwell has hired me to come along and take pictures of their booth and the event.  WOW.  Seriously I am pinching myself over and over again.

I am in the right place and in the right time for this.  It probably helped that I was on the DT for the company.  They really liked my crafts but also my photography and how I display them.  Then being a photographer on top of that, they decided it would help get some great pictures for them and what they have planned for their company.
Here's a video clip from last year's CHA and Craftwell:




I seriously can't believe it though.

Another fun thing we are doing is a photobooth!!  It's going to be so fun   :)

I'll be on my own, for 3 days, in the midst of creativity.  No kids while I travel?  I never thought that would have happened for another 30 years!  Whoda thunk?!!

Thank you Craftwell for the generosity of including me in the wonderful experience.

eCraft DT: week #3

Here is me, checking in with my sneak peek for this week:
Made this for my sister, since she has a dog ;)  Hope she likes it!

Head on over to the eCraft blog to see what it is!







winter weekend.

Emma just couldn't wait to do her valentines.  For weeks, she's been talking about it.  So I started getting ideas from Pinterest then let her decide which one she wanted.  She chose THESE.  So here we are today, getting them all done!  Emma is such a trooper.  She has filled all bags, cut out all the shapes and now she's trimming the excess bags from the valentines.  

This week, winter finally decided to show up with a revenge!
We've gotten so much snow.  And the kids are in heaven.

Look at these gigantic icicles!





We have some great hills just across the street at the middle school.  The kids love to have Joe take them there.




Joe knocked off some huge icicles we had and we make an ice castle!  It's so cool-looking.






Have a wonderful Sunday!

PS- Did you know I have a Facebook Page now?!  It's soley for this blog and to share other fun ideas too!
Come visit and let's be friends!
