I just wanted to share my excitement with you all! 1.) After 3 interviews, a personality profile test, and days of anxiety DH started his new “day” job today… he’s been unemployed since mid Jan when his company shut down. Starting today at 9 am he is the new Business Manager/Controller for Digis . YAY! God is AWESOME and does watch out for us!! 🙂 A BIG HUGE THANK YOU to all who have known about this and have offered…

I wrote a tutorial this morning… this next week could be busy for me, so I’ve written up a couple of posts to share and scheduled them with blogger. Here’s a sneak peek of a card I made using Faux Designer Paper.
We covered the making of the actual beads in Part One. The post was getting quite long so I decided to start a Part Two post – Add some bling and string your beads. {Continued from Part One} Adding Bling ** At this point you can also opt to add some bling to your beads. I experimented with adding Perfect Pearls glittery powder, glitter, and Stickles. Here are some photos of my experiments. Perfect Pearls: Worked on blue beads fantastically!…
This was supposed to be posted on Friday, but our internet was out (AGAIN) and I spent the morning on the phone switching our phone service over in preparation for switching internet service. (We have VOIP phone and wanted to make sure we kept our phone number…) And then we went up north for the Draper Temple open house. (We got a special invitation because Brent is an elected official.) It was so neat, they had a great tour and…
I have wanted to share these for forevvvvvvvvver! I finished them back before Christmas but couldn’t post them because the recipients (Tammy, Valerie & Ashley) read my blog. I work with 3 of the most wonderful ladies in our women’s organization at church. It is a pleasure to be able to serve with them. I wanted to surprise them this Christmas with a little something fun. The excitement was magnified by my friend Tammy who kept bringing up and asking…
Hi all! I am just popping in to let you know that I am still alive and kicking… barely kicking because my energy level is nearly non existent. For several weeks now I have not had the energy to do much at all. I get up out of bed and accomplish a few things around the house, suffer through work, whatever it needs to be, and then crash out. I have not slept through the night in months… Naps have…
Here’s a really simple little card… I was playing around with some scraps (from partial embossing the other day) while cleaning up my office this morning (I didn’t get very far in cleaning). We woke up to about 2.5″ of snow this morning and it’s been brrr cold all day. I used CTMH cardstock, I think it’s Crystal Blue. It got mixed in with some other blues, and I haven’t found my CTMH color ring (buried in boxes still somewhere)…
“Friends broaden our horizons. They serve as new models with whom we can identify. They allow us to be ourselves–and accept us that way. They enhance our self-esteem because they think we’re okay, because we matter to them. And because they matter to us-for various reasons, at various levels of intensity-they enrich the quality of our emotional life.” —Judith Viorst (b. 1931), novelist, U.S. newspaper columnist “Friendship improves happiness and abates misery,by the doubling of our joy and the dividing…
Better late than never…. I DID tell you I was working on a tutorial last week… 🙂 As I type this, I am relishing in the sound of plaster being sawed off the walls and am giddy with excitement to hear the sound of the saw riiiiiiiiiiippppppppppppppppping through the nasty acrylic bathtub and surround that currently makes up my master bath “oasis”. Hehe! We are waiting for the floor trip and stair bullnose to show up so that we can…
