Where has the time gone?

Sorry guys ... I can't believe that it's been over a month!  It's been an extremely busy month though ...

For the last couple months you know that I've been doing renovations around my place ... we were trying to beat winter!  We didn't ... LOL ... but we came close!  We've got a few more things to finish, but we will get them done shortly.  This will allow me to then relax a bit and get caught up on everything else ... BLOGGING!!

I'll be spending as much time creating Christmas cards and goods for the craft fair on November 3rd and 4th over the next couple weeks.  I'll be sitting in front of the TV with my little laptop desk and create an assembly line ... LOL ... and I'll post pictures as I go!  I'm going to get my blog back up and running regularly so that I can show my artwork!

Busy Busy

Sorry I haven't been posting ... but I've been trying to get some renovations done before the cold weather hits!  I've got half a wall right now behind me ... LOL ... there is no window in the hole and there is only panel for the actual wall because there was so much rotten plywood it was bad!  I guess the good thing is that slowly all these reno's are getting done, but when you have only one income coming in, it can be a little taxing on the money side of things ...

So one thing that has happened is that I've started selling Gold Canyon candles!  If you or anyone you know wants to purchase some candles, let me know!  I'll be happy help you out!  Gold Canyon has some really fantastic scents!

Ok, I've got to sign off!  Need to get some rest before the rest of the renovations happen tomorrow ... LOL ... hope you all are enjoying your long weekend!

Card Making September 10th!!

Hey guys!  So I've got a couple cards made to show you what we will be making on September 10th.  We will be meeting at 7 - 9 PM, having a great time socializing and making some cards!  Remember, everything is there for you to put together some great cards!

You get to choose 3 cards for $5 or 6 cards for $10. You need to RSVP no later than September 3rd because I need to prep the cards for you as well as book room for us! That's right you heard that right! We will be meeting at a restaurant for socializing and card making!

I'll let you know where just as soon as I get the numbers back on who will be coming. I want to make sure that it is in the middle for everyone. And if you need a ride, let me know and I can pick you up on my way!

Ok, so now for the cards!  I've got two ready!

I really like this one!  The colours are awesome in person!

I can't wait for you all to make these!  I had a blast making them cause I love the colours!

So yeah, RSVP by September 3rd with a quantity and I'll keep you updated!

Lazy Days!

Sorry guys!  I completely gave up with the Artiste collection.  It is so annoying to have to pull everything out each and every day that I want to create ... Most of my stuff is already out here in the living room and dining area, but it is just so difficult having to keep pulling everything out.

I will be pulling it all out shortly though ... I've got to get busy and get 3 card designs for my upcoming card making session on Monday September 10th from 7 PM to 9 PM.  I'd love to have you come and join us!  Just give me a shout to find out all the details!

Pictures for the cards will be coming shortly!!

Scroll Workshop from Convention!

This one is one of my absolute favorites!  I can't believe how it turned out!  I couldn't finish it at Convention because the photo's I brought with me didn't fit at all with the theme.  So I put it all away and brought it home with me!  Now I'm super glad that I didn't just put those photo's in!

Sorry for the flashes ... I just couldn't make them go away ... LOL

Mini Album from Convention!

So if you've learned anything about me, you've learned that I'm horrible at getting things finished ... LOL ... well it was no different at Convention!  Slowly I've been getting them finished and now I've got a couple photo's to post of them!

 Oops ... see I still need to journal ... LOL ... one day!!

I just love this little mini album!  I'm going to make a workshop out of it because I think my friends and family would love them as much as I do!

Artiste Catch Up!

Ok, I got a couple more complete the other night!  I finally got pictures taken!

I really love this little box and can see me using it a lot!  I decided to dress it up with daisies!

I just love this little card box!  I made three of them because two I'm giving to the two ladies that are coming to my card making session on Saturday!

I'd hoped to have one more project posted tonight but it isn't complete just yet.  I've got to figure out how to make my Ferris Wheel turn so that the little cars fall appropriately!!  I'll get it!  I'm getting closer each night ... LOL ... but yeah, I'm still creating with the Artiste, just not every day like I had hoped!

Day 4 - Artiste - Sorry!

Ok so today should be Day 4 but in all honesty, I haven't been able to play!  Today we took down all the siding on the back of my trailer because there was no plywood between the siding and wall inside.  We haven't lived in our master bedroom for almost 3 years now because my corner closet got mold and we tore it out.  Because everything was left not done, we've been living in the spare room

We found shingles under part of the siding ... LOL ... Let me tell you, definitely an interesting experience we are having whenever we try to renovate something in this trailer!

So yeah, I've been a bit busy the last couple days!  But I do plan to get some things still created!  This month will not be a bust!!

Card 3

Finally!  Here is the 3rd card design for the August 11th Card Session!  I wanted to make it colourful and fun!
