Sweet Frame & Pillow Gift!

I am getting so very excited!!! Can you tell? I am actually posting daily! See ya'll, miracles still do happen!





These are the Pillow Gifts for the Ladies attending our
Sea Island Stampin' Retreat!

When the Ladies go to their rooms, these Pillow Gifts will be laying on their pillows!




I would like to thank Shawn B. from MD for the idea. I loved the swap I had received so much, I modified it just a tad, to make it work for me!





I love this Sweet Frame, When I saw the new Christmas paper in our Holiday Mini, I knew I had to do a project! I know you can not tell, but the damask image is flocked, and it is gorgeous!


Just a simple $1 frame from Michaels, painted white, then i used to Modge Podge to attatch the Paper.
Then just wrap and tie the ribbon! and Wa~La!!!

this is one of the projects that I will demo during our retreat!

Stay tuned, I will have more to post through out the day!

Happy Stampin'

Lots of Projects

These are just a few of the projects I am doing for our Sea Island Retreat this weekend!!!


I just love this little box! It is sooooooooooo cute & easy to do!

I love using the Scallop Die Cut for the Top!







O' I just love It!!!









Thought this was a really cute idea for this plain white lunch bag,
I stamped on the bag, then stamped extra flowers, cut them out and then placed them on top of the flowers that were stamped on the bag.











Christmas is upon us already it seems! So I have started by making some really cute boxes out of Textured Card Stock with coordinating Designer Series Paper!






Tied it with a coordinating ribbon and Wa~La,

I am putting stamp sets in each of the packages shown, for our Sea Island retreat!

We are going to be having a little Chinese gift exchange, and everyone will leave with something very cute to take home and start Stampin' away for the Holidays!

The Sweetest Man

I must say, I am married to the Sweetest Man in the Universe!

Over the last 2 weeks, I have been working on projects in my "Studio" aka "The Garage"! Well you see, we have had the house on the market for the last 9 months, and have had to have everything in perfect condition!

Well needless to say, you can not keep creativity clean & tidy, much less contained!!! So I moved all of my craft supplies out to the Garage, and litterally took over!!!! Poor Stuart, but he has been a very good sport about the whole thing.

So back to my story, over the last 2 weeks, I have been working on numerous projects at one time from sun up to sun down for the most part, and barley doing anything in between! I have even enlisted the help of the children to keep the house clean! (but they have been rewarded nicely)

Did I mention we live in Georgia? Where it is sooooo HOT & HUMID at times you feel you can not breathe!!! So imagine being stuck inside a garage, it was my own personal sauna! As if having my own "Personal Summers" was not bad enough, now I am roasting in the garage!
My dear Hubby, decided to insulate the garage door for me last week, in an effort to keep things a little cooler!
Over this past week, I barley surfaced from that garage. I did tear myself away to go on a very nice and relaxing boating trip! Well Sat. my Wonderful Husband installed an Air Conditioning unit in the garage for me!!!!! He said he couldnt stand to see me smothering in the garage any longer.

So I call my favorite Mommy~in~Law, and tell her that Stuart just gave me the sweetest anniversary present ever! She said "what did you get"? I said an AC unit in the Studio, and she laughed and said O' how romantic!! I said Yes, I know!!

Ok, gotta get back to work, hope my ramblings did not bore you to much!

Time Sure Does Fly

O' my where has the time gone? Summer is coming to an end, and we have not done all that we had planned! We have had a very busy time this summer making memories with Daddy before he Deploys for yet another year.

We have been very Blessed that is for sure, being able to travel and play for most of the summer. Now that it is coming to an end, we will have lots of fun memories to carry us through while Daddy is gone!

Now that the we are preparing for the children to go back to school, things will start getting back to normal around here! Whatever Normal may be, I am not exactly sure, but at least back to a routine!

I have been diligently working on 2 Big Events for this week!

1) The Hunter Spouses Club ~ Fall Kick Off, I am going to be one of the vendors for the Kick Off! So I have been working hard on all the goodies I would like to take!

2) Our 2nd Sea Island Retreat! O' what fun we had the last time we went! I can hardly wait, 15 women Stampin' all weekend!!!! Now that is what I call Fun!!!

I will take pics and post all of the goodies I have been working on over the past few weeks!

Stuart getting ready to dock the boat

Harbor Town, I think I was a little amazed that we made it with NOOOO problems!!

Busy busy busy week!!

O' My, it has been forever since my last post. Let's see what I have been doing?
Last Tues. morning a lady that I know through a mutual Stampin' friend, sent me a message on FaceBook asking if there was any way possible that I could make some cakes for her Triplet Girls. The only problem was their birthday was only 3 days away!!!! So what was my reply?
Of course we caaaaaaaannnnn! What kind of cakes do ya want? Purse Cakes was the answer to go with their Glamour Girl Theme! So here they are, what do ya'll think?

Pink for Alexis

Purple for Anna Grace

and Lime Green for Avery!


Now ya'll know that I have Quadruplets, and I can never do the same thing for their cakes...sooooo I had to do different purses for each of the girls, even writing their names differently!!!! I had soooo much fun! Even though only having 2 days to finish the cakes! I took the challange, and the Mom was thrilled and the girls love the cakes. I will post pics of the girls with the cakes as soon as I can.
