Green Craft Magazine by Stampington and Company
Hell friends! I have some exciting new to share. Yesterday when I got home there was a little surprise waiting for me in the mail...a published piece in the Autumn 2011 issue..and there on page 138 was my Album :) I love it when that happens!
Here's a bit of a personal update..After the storm we have cleaned up what we can. The big barn, machine shop, corn crib and bins still need to be dealt with. The house is still covered with tarps to keep the water out when it rains. I has been a fright working with the insurance company. The first insurance adjuster doesn't want to talk to me because I can't be nice. We have a new one and I'm not sure he likes talking to me either. We do have 3 contractor's in place to start work but because there was so much damage for so many people, we're patiently waiting our turn :)
Our youngest son, Zach who is 14 was grilling food a couple nights ago and he fell to the ground, having a seizure. SO..to the emergency room we went. He had an appointment with the Neurologist today, had an MRI and will have an EEG on Monday. They have put him on seizure medication. Thank GOD he did not fall on the grill or the cement patio! YIKES! We also had a dear friend pass away, he introduced hubby and I 20 years ago...such a sad visitation and he was only 43!
SO..I try to keep busy with my art when I can because it's my therapy and a place I feel most at home. I can't tell you how much it means to me to have you sending thoughts and prayers our way..I love you all! I makes me get a little emotional when I think of the wonderful friends I've made through blogging! THANK YOU ALL from the bottom of my heart.
Didn't mean to get so windy but with so many people asking, I wanted to update you :)

The Mini Vintage Creative Scraps were used on the votive, too.

Play Ball Home Decor
Hello friends! This sweet stamp set is a new release by Crafty Secrets. I spotted this Baseball frame at the Dollar Store and thought it would be perfect with the new stamps. I gave the frame a coat of Antique White paint and then inked the sides to give it more of a vintage feel. The images are simply stamped on Astroparche Cardstock with Saddle Brown, Stazon ink.

Night Light: Heartfelt Creations
Hello friends! While browsing around at the Dollar Store, I found this Night Light and thought, I could alter that! It originally had a goofy looking lady on the front so I removed her. I used Timber Brown Stazon and stamped the circular glass with “Vintage Life Background” (HCPC 3367). Next, I stamped (
