Really?????

Has it been almost a month since I have blogged, I guess I'm getting slow in my old age. Or maybe I've just been busy at the store and on etsy, that was just a maybe. ;)

We do have many new things up on the etsy site http://www.papertales.etsy.com/ and we also have the Sweet Treats ready to be picked up at the store. These are packed full of wonderful Chrismas goodies. They are $18.95 and Judy if you don't want to know what is in them then don't look any further.





Well back to work.

Lookie...Lookie

Still going with the Christmas Tree theme I've made a tree from stuff in out etsy site
http://www.papertales.etsy.com/ this is made from chenille color of your choice. I used the holly leaves and red posies to decorated it. The amount of chenille depends on the size of the cone you use, I used a 10 inch styrofoam cone which took about 12-15 yds. of chenille.

Ok...so guess I'm not a patient driver.

So I was driving home from work the other night, and it's dark so I really couldn't see. I'm driving in a 40mph zone doing about 38. That drives me crazy, the car about 3 cars ahead had to have some little old man with a hat in it. Me I wanted to use the center turn lane to pass him, he's making me crazy, I have places to be things to do I can't go 2 miles UNDER the speed limit. Because of HIM I hit every light, I'm cursing him the 4 miles I'm driving behind him, finally I'm getting ready to turn at a red light and who pulls in the turn lane ahead of me, that's right mister slow poke himself. Now I'm cursing at him, wait now I can see long hair it could be a her, because they seem to be waiting for an engraved invitation to turn. I mean come on there were some holes in the traffic that were big enough for the both of us to get thru. Now the car behind me is blowing it's horn. Finally we made it thru and the numskull turns down my street, come on I'm just not suppose to make it home I guess. Crap!!!! It was my teenage son the whole time coming home from school. Well I guess I don't have to worry about him driving wild and crazy. Hope he just does tick the wrong driver off. LOL!!!!!!

Hi Everyone.......

That's what I usually say when I enter the market place in Farm Town on Facebook, it seems I'm addicted to it, yes I have a sad, sad life. But while I was harvesting and plowing I did get myn ATC's done for an October class. The date has not yet been set. It is a Halloween Theme and we will be doing 8 cards dealing with canvas and transparencies.


Here are the bracelets I made this weekend for my nieces for Christmas.

have a great day

Wednesday, September 09, 2009

Well lookie, lookie.......

Cass has been playing, she's making bracelets with stuff from our etsy store http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5405843 in this bracelet you need approx. 24 pearls and 12 rasp. beads. We do not sell the chain and other jewelry supplies but I'm sure those can be found on etsy too. You can make them any color with the raspberry beads. Who knows you might even find them already made in the futer on the site.





Also look at the cute little spider made from the bump chenille at the etsy store.




Have a great day and check out the store.

My, my how time flies......

Well I can't believe it's August already, and the heat of summer has finally hit us here in Michigan, it brought it's friend humitity too.

Lots to catch up on and yet it seems like I have done nothing. I went to CHA with Maya Road again ( I love working for them) I must say I was surprised how small CHA was, but I always have fun with the girls and David. I did get offered some teaching jobs while there, I have to look into them a little further, so I may be coming to a scrapbook store near you.

We had to put down our middle dog Rascal, he was the best dog ever, I've never had a dog that listened so well and didn't care what you did to him. He was just a big ole bunch of love, the family took it very hard.

My father-in-law gradutated from Metodist Theological School, we are very proud of him.

I do have class samples done, I know Cass is grasping her chest as she reads this, but it's true. I have the Vintage Zoo book done and Vintage page class done, I hope to get more done tomorrow.

Well I think I am going to go for now, lots more to do before bed.


Have a great day.
Laura

I've been playing

And it is not with scrapbooking stuff, most of you by now should know that I love vintage stuff. And my favorite is ribbon and lace, I love the stuff, well I decided to start playing with it instead of just looking at it. Here is some of the flowers I have made with it, these are not done I plan on putting them on lace scraps, but I do have orders for them already, I haven't decided if I was quite ready for that but a store owner told me to get ready. Here are some pictures of them.






Well back to work, have a great day.
