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.

Have a great day.

A few good things.....

Yup for the past few days I've been playing with stuff in our vintage etsy shop. http://www.papertales.etsy.com/ today I made a cute little 3-d wall hanging or table top decoration for the holidays.

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.

Oh Christmas Tree....Oh Christmas Tree....

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Vigliarolo) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:42:00 +0000

Here's the Christmas Tree book from Maya Road that people have been waiting for me to do ever since they saw the sample come home from CHA. The class is Nov. 17th at the store http://www.papertales.com/ please call for space. It is filling up fast.

This is one of my favorite books.

Thank you

Have a great weekend

Laura

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

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Vigliarolo) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:58:00 +0000

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!!!!!!

It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Vigliarolo) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 14:31:00 +0000

Hi Everyone.......

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Vigliarolo) — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 21:50:00 +0000

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

Well lookie, lookie.......

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Vigliarolo) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 22:15:00 +0000

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.

Laura

What a beautiful day here......

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Vigliarolo) — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 14:32:00 +0000

Just a quick little post before I go and enjoy this lovely day. I put out three tubs of past class kits at the store, these are those that were never picked up and yes we do have more that we need to get ready, but for those you must wait until I can get them ready. They do make wonderful Christmas gifts. Hey I know is only September but it will be here before you know it, get started when you can.

Well I'm going to enjoy the nice day now, have a great one!!!!

UUUUuuggghhhhhh!!!!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Vigliarolo) — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 19:48:00 +0000

I do not like creative block, I can't seem to do anything creative and really like it lately. I think I'm stuck doing house work for now, and I hate house work. Laundry is todays job, yippie.

I signed up for Lisa Pace's All Hallows Eve workshop today, you should go to her blog (it's to the right) and sign up. they are always a good time.

I did get a class done, only because I've had it on my mind for a long time and trust me it took me days to do it. It is my Summer Fun class. This class has a ton of actual vintage stuff in it there fore it will be very limited, and "Damit Dog" ate some of the items.

call the store if you want to take the class.

Also remember Oct. 2-3 we are having our Scrap Pink Crop 2 days of fun, reserve your spot now.

I don't like being sick........

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Vigliarolo) — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 19:28:00 +0000

I don't feel real well today, but work needs to be done so I'm trying to do a little from home, I don't want to make the baby sick at work.

Well now that I'm done whinning I will share some of the cards that I am teaching on Sept. 16th at Paper Tales, if you want to see all of them you'll have to go in and see them all. It's ok you'll be going there anyway because Graphic 45 is in. Well here are my cards.

Well I think I'm going to go take a nap now.

Just a quickie today

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Vigliarolo) — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 01:14:00 +0000

Laura

Well......

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Vigliarolo) — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 13:42:00 +0000

I guess I should really get back to posting more on my blog, I'm getting addicted to facebook it has sucked me in, but I do love talking with some of my old high school friends.

Yesterday was a good day for me I sold all of my french ribbon flowers I had on etsy and have orders for more!!!!!!! Thank you Diane!!!

I guess I should get going to work but first here is some eye candy, it's stuff I did for the Maya Road booth at CHA, there stuff is soooo much fun to work with, and has started shipping so it will be in a store by you soon.

They always do such wonderful stuff to spark your creativity.

Just to let you know we had a small amout of french ribbon come into the store yesterday, I picked it out myself and it's going fast, so you might want to hurry in and get it while you can.

Until next time.

Laura

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

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Vigliarolo) — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 23:27:00 +0000

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

Lots going on.......

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Vigliarolo) — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 02:05:00 +0000

Ok that's not true We are supper pleased to have a part-time new teacher at the store Carrie Rees, she is super talented and we've been wanting her to teach for a while, we just had to wait until she got out of school, and she gose back soon so you better get in on one of her classes soon. Her first class is an ATC class and they are really cool, I'll show you a sneak but you might have to go to her blog to see more.

Really cool, we are also going to start up almost like an ATC club/class. Carrie's class is 8/6/09 so write it down or sign up now, she'll show you some fun stuff to do with inks.

I have added more stuff to the Paper Tales Etsy site http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5405843 once again please if you are local please convo me what you want and you can pick it up and pay for it at the store so you don't need to pay shipping.

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.

Laura

I LOVE to buy stuff............

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Vigliarolo) — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 12:37:00 +0000

and when it is at a GREAT price that's even sweeter. Well Maya Road is have another warehouse sale and let me tell you if I were you I would be going to paypal right now and buying a few of them. I bought one of the kits last year and it was wonderful, just full of fun stuff to play with. Now I have copied and pasted the info so let's see if this works, if not you can always go to Caroline's blog to the right and get the links and info there.

It's Summer, it's Summertime - Summertime Summertime! And just in time for Summer, we have put together another Maya Road VIRTUAL WAREHOUSE SALE! Our last sale kits were sold out in 48 hours so you don't want to miss out if you want to get a bargain on some Maya Road items!
For a limited time (or until our warehouse sale kits run out) – get over $126 of Maya Road products for $48.95! That is a 61% savings! Shipping is FREE within the US! If you are outside of the US and want to get in on this deal please read all the Q&As for more information.
We have stream lined the process and gotten more kits put together for this Virtual Warehouse Sale! All the kits have been packed up and are ready to go! Rather than have a local sale where only those that live near the warehouse here in Texas have access, we have made it so anyone can participate in the sale by opening it up virtually worldwide. Please remember you can only purchase these warehouse sale kits from the links located in this newsletter; make sure you read ALL the Q&As to answer any questions you might have.

trust me you will not be disappointed, I don't think Maya Road makes anything I don't like.

Well have a great day!
