320 balloons later...

so in one of my daily blog search escapades, i found this
and i wanted to make one.
really bad!!
so i did.

320 balloons
100 floral picks
15 pipe cleaners
a few stray blown up balloons throughout my family room due to a very curious nearly 2-year old
later....

voila!

Take 2!

Here we go.
This is my shot at sharing with you what goes on in my mind.
The scary part...
My mind is always going.
Most of the time about things I want or "need".
I pride myself in my ability to bargain shop.
I like to look at the big box retailers that are ever so popular that I like.
Then....how "I can make that!" for a portion of the BIG TICKET price!
My poor husband...I'm always thinking about ways to change spaces in our home.
I like change.
And, I've learned that change doesn't always = $.
So, I hope to use this blog to share the changes in our space. Or - most of the time, how I would like it to change.
I love to blog surf and etsy-surf (is that a new term!!! ha!).
I'm constantly looking at that site and the ridiculous talent found there.
I'll share my favs of that here too!
So, maybe I'll gain some friends and readers here.
Maybe I'll just empty my mind here.
Either way...good for me :)
Check back often....I have A LOT to say! :)

Who said it has to be an Easter BASKET!?!?

I'm baaaaaaaaaack!

I'm embarrassed that it has been so long, but I have been VERY busy the past 12 months...10 of which have been consumed with my sweet baby girl, Remi Caroline, born April 25, 2009.

So, over the past year I have not had a ton of time to punch, cut, embellish and spend countless hours in my workshop, but I have spent any and all of my spare moments creating my Remi's first year scrapbook. So, I thought...to get back into the swing of things...I would share that with you!

Here it is...the story of my year-long hiatus. The best "break" I've ever taken.

Clawson Craft Show

Sorry for not posting much lately, but with everything that is going on in my life lately...it's hard to find time!

Last weekend I had a table at the Christmas in Clawson Craft Show. I didn't do great, but I blame the economy. There were a lot of people there, but no one was spending! So, I have plenty of things still available if you like anything you see.

The holidays are coming, so think about teacher gifts or monogrammed gifts for friends and family.
