Goodbye 20, Hello 21 !

 I did it again. I spent $20 to sign up with Close To My Heart and I get $21 CTMH cash to spend plus 25% discount on my orders. :) I probably won't buy enough to stay active at the end of the quarter, but hey, I get a great discount in the meantime!

Want $21 to spend when you sign up for $20 and get 25% discount?

Ends January 31st, so hurry!

Crafting Happiness Ch#81 Anything Goes

 Good morning!

We've been working on things around our house, so I haven't had any crafting time last week. This week Bonnie has surgery and then a couple days later, another procedure. So, crafting may not happen this week either.  Please keep Bonnie in your prayers.

Our weekend project for the house:

THE STAIRS

Before

During

See all those decorative cutouts? Guess who painted inside all those lovely areas? And guess what paintbrush I used. :) It wasn't hard. Just took a while. Next we will work on painting the trim and actual stairs themselves.

I thought I'd share some of my favorite projects from the past with you today.

My challenge blog, Crafting Happiness Challenges, is having an Anything Goes theme this week! You can enter up to 5 cards per blog/email, but you have unlimited entries available for non-card projects. To inspire you, here are 3 projects I've created. (Links to the posts included for details)

Used Stamp Sets for Sale Soon

I need to de-stash some lovely stamping and crafting goodies. I'll be posting some things here for sale and see how that goes. More details about that later.

Find me on Pinterest

Pinterest is one of my alternative ideas to share my crafts out in the world. This was something I did years ago, and just let it slide to the back burner. May be time to get that going again.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Happy New Year!!

 

Welcome to 2021! 

Can you believe it?! I still remember the 1999/2000 with all the hoopla about changing the year format in banking programs from 2 digit to 4, and people panicking about doomsday.  Some people were filling their bathtubs with water thinking everything was going off grid when the date changed, and stocking up their pantries. 

But not our family. We rang in 2000 at Alligator Point in Florida. It was wonderful! We went camping with all our children and their cousins, aunts, and uncles. We had a blast! It was the type of vacation that's never forgotten.

And now it's been 21 years since all of that. One day we'll look back on this 'Rona pandemic and remember how crazy it was too.

Ingredients:

cut file from Lori Whitlock

gold paper for some of the stars

pattern papers from Close To My Heart

gold shimmer ribbon (it curls nicely, by the way)

Folds flat for mailing
