Happy Mail

Good morning peeps!

This is an early post today...I need to get ready to go out & spend the day with my hubby. He has a few days off & we're going to go spend the day at the Cape & enjoy this beautiful weather. I got some awesome happy mail & would love to share it with you today.

Have a great weekend & thanks for stopping by!

OMG....look what I won from Michele Boyer's blog! I couldn't believe I won this fabulous case...it's a lot bigger than I thought but I LOVE it! Thanks again Michele!


Looks like I need to buy lots more copic markers to fill this baby up! I have enough to fill maybe 2 or almost 3 of these baskets...better start making a list of the ones I want...there goes my wallet!


I put some of my markers inside one of the mesh baskets so you could see what it looks like. I love this case!!!



Birthday card from my best friend Sandi, she doesn't have a blog but she makes such beautiful cards. Her style is with a needle & thread. I always look forward to receiving a hand made card from you Sandi. Love you & can't wait for you to move back to our neck of the woods.


close up....look at that detail, she does amazing work on her cards! Thanks Sandi, I love it!!!


Easter card from Gina. Thanks Gina


Happy stampin' peeps!

Happy Mail

Hello Peeps!

My it's been a long time since I've posted on my blog...so sorry. I'm almost done with my craft room & spring cleaning upstairs. I can FINALLY see the end nearing to this organizing project. I will still have some stuff to do (like labeling everything & updating my inventory books) but that can come after the set up is finished. I can't wait to start crafting again, its been sooooo long that I hope I can find my mojo again. Anyway I have a few RAK's that I've received from friends to tie you over so here are a few photos. Enjoy & I will be back soon! Thanks for not abandoning me, I sure do hope you return again, I truly enjoy reading your comments & having you visit me.

So sorry Jen & Joy for posting this so late, please forgive me. I luv you guys, your the best! Thanks so much!

Belated BRAK from Joy.


Look what was inside that lovely bag! Thanks so much Joy, I love it!


Thank you RAK from Jen. Thanks Jen!

Happy Mail - Birthday RAK's

Trolley Chocolate Tour


I bought one of these special boxes for Jessica & me as a memento of our Chocolate tour in Boston. The size box I picked came with 4 chocolates, this was from Beacon Hill Chocolates on 91 Charles St. Boston.


My birthday gift from Jessica was a wonderful Trolley Chocolate tour in Boston, where I got to spend the whole day with her & we had so much fun.

from Gina Wrona...I'm going to smell so good!


from Jana with some gorgeous border stamps that I can't wait to use.


A beautiful Thank you RAK from Joy with some dyed bias ribbon. Joy you are an enabler...after seeing your beautiful dyed ribbon I just had to order some from SU.


from my good friend Sandi...I love her embroidered images, she does such an amazing job!


Thank you so much...I loved them all & truly appreciate each & every one of you!


I bought 2 of these boxes, Jessica got a different scene of Boston. This will be our little memento of our wonderful Boston Trolley Chocolate Tour.



Box with 4 chocolates inside....those chocolates were sooooooooooooo good!!!

I'm still working on my craft room & I can't wait to start creating again. I'm not so sure this was a good idea to take my room apart & re organize it, I feel so overwhelmed by it all. I didn't know how much stuff I had till I started to organize it. I'm about halfway through it all & I'm sure I will be re-arranging things for awhile till I get it to fit my needs. So stay tuned & I will post pictures when I'm done.

As always thanks so much for spending a little part of your day with me. Have a great weekend.

Happy Mail!!!

Hello peeps!!!

This will be a quick post, I need to get back upstairs & do some more creating, I'm working my butt off for this craft fair but I'm enjoying every moment. I also need to get my Fall cleaning done in between all this to get ready for Thanksgiving dinner at our house next month. Boy there are not enough hours in the day for me right now.

Anyway back to my post. I am so late in posting these RAKs that I received from these amazing women but here it is finally...so sorry ladies! You all need to go over to their blogs & see for yourself how talented they all are...you won't regret it, I promise!!! Thank you sooo much Joy, Teri & Risa, I luv all my goodies & ALL your cards are AMAZING!!!

Birthday RAK'S

Hi everyone!

Sorry I haven't been around for awhile, I've been busy & lazy since I got back from Vegas. My son & daughter-in-law moved into their house the weekend I got back & we took a day to help them & then Jessica had a Pampered Chef party & then on Monday I had to go shopping with Jess, then I was too pooped to pop. My craft room needs a major cleaning & I really didn't feel up to it but I have to do it. That room is a complete mess...way too much stuff on the tables & I need to get organized. Before I left for vacation I bought a few of those cubes from Michael's with drawers & shelves so I will be doing that & my Spring cleaning starting this week. I hope to have a project or cards to post on my blog soon.

I wanted to share my birthday RAK's with you that I received from some awesome friends. Take a peek at their blogs to see how very talented these women are & you will be amazed & maybe get some ideas while your visiting. Thank you all so much.

I hope you all have a fantastic Mother's Day! Thanks for stopping by today.



BRAK from Teri

Friendship card from Teri. This gorgeous card with just the right amount of sparkle came with a BIG bag of Hawaiian goodies that Teri gave me when we met in Vegas & boy were they all yummy!!! I just tried the coconut coffee yesterday & it was really good! You did way too much girl but I loved it all & the best part was meeting you, your sister Cheryl & BIL & I will cherish the memories forever...that was the best gift of all! Thanks again my friend!

2 More RAK's

This card came from Carolynan amazing crafter & friend! She also design stamps for Gina K Designs, go over to Gina's store & check out Carolyn's stamp sets, I'm sure your going to want a set for your very own, their FANTASTIC!!! Now Carolyn made me a Hanna card 'cause she knows how much I luv shopping & luv Hanna & Bella stamps. It was funny cause the day I received this card I was getting ready to go shopping & when I opened it I just laughed out loud & hubby wanted to know what I was laughing at & when I showed him he just said "Yep, you women never have enough of anything"! Isn't that the truth? Thank you so much Carolyn, I luv it & the colors are perfect!




This birthday RAK came from my good friend Jana. She sent me a Paper Craft Magazine & I luv it! This is the first time that I've seen a card magazine, so may ideas packed into this & I got to see one of Lauren Meader's cards in here. I also got some paper & some stickers that I can use to put on some of my cards & scrapbook layouts, but the best thing of all was this gorgeous tag in a bag! Oh my, you have to see it to really appreciate it! I thank you from the bottom of my heart Jana, I know the love you have for this craft & that all your work comes from the heart & that's what makes a hand made card so very special. Thanks again!




Close up of her Tag in a bag. Isn't this stamp just awesome!!! What a beautiful image! Jana you did a great job on the coloring, I luv this! Thank you so much my friend!
