I didn’t know that the My Craft Spot even existed until I was sitting around on a lazy afternoon You tube channel surfing. I went to their sight — click here — and did some shopping. I especially love the tiny tag dies (3 sets of stamps to go with them) and the Jar set(s) are stinking cute.
Here is a funny for you, I had to go back and order the die for the jar because I forgot to do so the first time.
The Stamps of Life — click here — This company has a fabulous owner and staff. If you go to the “extra” tab on the website you can print out a FREE inventory sheet for the stamps they manufacture as well as the dies and embossing folders. That is just plain smart. Thank you you make that part of my inventory control very easy.
I hope you’ll enjoy the video above. Stamp Happy and be a blessing. Be kind to one another!
Today has been a productive and busy day that ended with a very late afternoon nap.
In the above pictures are Chad and I. I had a late afternoon Doctor’s appointment and by the time I was heading home it was supper time.
I gave Chad a quick call and picked him up. We went to Sullivan’s a quaint little restaurant and bar that Mike and I used to call our “date” night joint.
We both ordered the bacon cheese burgers. So delicious. The food as well as the service is superb.

Recently I attended a class in July for ShaaDeLa with the Queens Ink. We made some super fun altered bottles. We also learned some fun new techniques, and how to find and even clean bottles.
I had ordered some bottles from Ebay before the class and they have still not arrived. Unfortunately, I have now filed a claim against the seller. I hate when that happens. I tried to contact this person for resolution more than 3 times before I resorted to the complaint.
Onto the more fun part of this post, 700 Subscribers on my Youtube channel! Super wow! So glad you guys like me. Here is the catch, I still need FOUR more people to sign up to my channel.
When I reach the 700 mark I will be doing a Subscriber give away. Details will be on a post I will be making as a tutorial for a potential design team spot as well as give away details. So go check it out. If you have questions, please contact me!
Isabella at PetSmart in Laurel,MD patiently awaiting in the buggy while momma takes her picture. She had just gotten groomed!
This will be a short post as I feel that the pictures are pretty self – explanatory. I have had a really great time with the swaps I have been involved in these last few months. The only one that I have taken pictures of is the puzzle piece swap.
I altered a small wooden puzzle piece and the display is the puzzle piece die from www.accucutcraft.com. I used papers from my collection and wild orchid craft flowers.
The altered bottles are from a class at The Queens Ink. I had a really great time learning some new techniques and creating these really cute bottles.
The cork board was made by combining a thick piece of cork I purchased from a big box store and a frame, I painted and distressed both pieces, the back of the piece is also finished with paint and decorative scrap paper. I spelled out the recipient’s name with the small wooden letters I also purchased at the craft store.
I used Aileen’s E6000 glue to keep everything together. I also purchased some small embellishments from the markdown bin. The push pins are made using push pins from the office supply store, you can see the video on how to do them here:
I did not get enough participants to actually do this as a swap, but it is a quick overview of how I made the push pins. There are more things that will go in my box for my swap partner, however, I don’t want to show them off just yet.
Now for Ms. Isabella. I took her for her first “Puppy” cut yesterday at the PetSmart groomer in Laurel, MD. Ms. Isabella did fantastic. She got a good “sanitary” trim as well as a trimmed face and her over-all coat and ears where also cleaned up. She walked out knowing she was a princess.
Yes she is being very patient and still in the cart, She was not left alone so there was no danger of her falling from the buggy. She was very still and patient as her mommy took pictures. She is such a joy in my life.
