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

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.

Laura

What a beautiful day here......

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!!!!!!!

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........

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

I just want to say that the new stuff is starting to roll in, new boxes daily. Today we got MAYA ROAD!!!!!!!! and even more. Come in while it last.

Thank you for selling out my vintage zoo class and there are a few spots left for the vintage page class on Saturday.

Have a great day
Laura

Well......

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......

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.......

and yet nothing really to post about. 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.

As some of you may know that CHA is right around the corner and that means new stuff so start saving those pennies and please let us know what you see that you like. The G45 papers are up on their site so if you want to make a list it helps us when ordering.

I will be attending again for Maya Road and playing with all the goodies, and sweating in the florida heat, and playing with all the goodies. MR has some really fun stuff coming out so yhou guys need to go blog hopping and see all the new stuff.

Well I should get ready to go upstairs, my neighbor is smoking more that just his pipe tonight and I'm getting the munchies.

Have a nice weekend and I'll get back to work.

Just a quick Post

To let everyone know that the new Basic Grey and the Star Wars paper are in the store and ready for you to purchase, I would run not walk it won't last long. The Star Wars line is one Kate ordered back in Jan. at CHA and it wass worth the wait. And as for Basic Grey well we all hored that and with these 2 new lines you won't be disappointed.

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.

Laura

Another great buying tip......

Well if you love vintage like I do you'll love this site http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5405843&ga_search_query=papertales&ga_search_type=seller_usernames I love this site and if you mention my name and blog you'll get a special thank you gift. I have aspecial relationship with the owner of this little shop. LOL!!! Most of the stuff has come from an old craft warehouse that has been around for 60+ years. There is stuff from the 50's thru the 80's ranching from good to mint condition. emember to mention my name and blog and get a thank you gift. It is a wonderful place to play and have fun.

Have a great weekend.

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

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!

I'm old......

or at least I'm going to start looking like it. Tim got his very own car today, he can't wait to hit the open road, heck he's out there now, he is a little bummed, some of his best friends are not home for him to show it off to.

Dexter has learned a new trick this week, he has been kind enough to let himself in and out of the doorwall screen. I haven't really watched him do it to see how he does it but yup he opens it, and why not I can't go to the bathroom without him coming in. Now if I could get him to run the sweeper.

Have a good night.

It has come to my attention.........

It is June time just seems to fly by, before you know it it will be snowing and I'll be wrapping Christmas gifts. That will be at last minute too I'm sure. But since it is June and I have card class this month I suppose I should make some cards, Cass keeps asking me for them and my intentions are good when I say I'm going to do that, but there is always something that happens. Nevertheless I took some time to play today and got the ideas out of my head and actually made some cards. I must tell you that I do find inspiration other places, I love Melissa Phillips blog and Lia from Maya Road did some cute cards a while ago with their coasters so yes I used them as a jumping off point.

So with that being said here are some of the cards in this months card class, class in June 17th at 6pm, please call the store if you wish to sign up.

The rest of them you will just have to come in the store to see, we do have some good coupons going on right now and a contest.

What a weekend............

I'm ready to fall over, we flew out friday for Norfolk, VA. had dinner with the Theadore Roosevelt Assoc. then we were up at 4 am saturday for aride on a boat, yup the USS Roosevelt, we got back to land about 9:30 pm IT WAS AWSOME!!!!!!!!

This is a few of my 800 pictures I took Saturday.

Have a good day
