A card for Mom!

I made a card for my Mom last night and thought I would share it with y’all!  Don’t worry, she won’t see it!  She does watch my videos but she usually has to do some catch up and watch several at a time and I feel sure she it pretty busy right now so sitting at the computer won’t happen just yet.

I hope you all enjoy this little follow along vid, it’s not my usual style of filming but I got a new toy and I am trying to figure it out!!  Bare with me…

Also, new craft room is coming soon!!  Can’t wait to give you a tour!

 

Maymay Made It….to 40 that is!!!

Wow, what a day, I have officially turned 40.  My Mom will not let me call it official until the actual time when I was born, which was 7:17pm.  Each year she calls me at that minute to wish me Happy Birthday and to remind me of what she was doing exactly, ever how many years ago, that I was born.   Keep in mind, even if we have just left each other she will call at that minute.  It’s a special phone call for me and I look forward to it each year.

Today, my co workers treated me like a princess, an old princess mind you but a princess none the less.  They decorated my office…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This wheel chair replaced my office chair…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the door leading to my office and that yellow tape said “warning party in progress”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the best part, the crowing!  There were crows and flamingos all over the front lawn of our office and this beautiful sign that read “once hot chick, now old crow!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They took me to lunch and this was my cake…yep that’s a tomb stone.

40, really, 40, I don’t feel like it.  I mostly feel blessed to have these wonderful people around me.  My family and friends are just so supportive of me and they really showed that today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My husband couldn’t make it to my luncheon, he was at our house as it is in the final stages and today was a critical day in the finalizing process.  So, while we were at the restaurant, roses came to my table sent from him.  So sweet!  Again, I am just blessed.

Thank you to all who made my birthday so special!  I love you! Till next year ;) ?!?!?!

 

 

My Keurig Vue 700 Review

I love this machine!  Is that all I need to say?  No, really, this machine does so much more than my previous Keurig.  From hot drinks to cold, from cafe style drinks to helping in the kitchen.  Watch my review for more info….

 

Seven Deadly Sins of Crafting!!

I watch so many beauty gurus on YouTube and they have been doing the Seven Deadly Sins of Beauty tag.  I thought, “this works for crafting as well” so I played around with the tag and here is what I came up with!  Enjoy!

Tear Away Gift Card …

Gift Card with Gift still inside...

After opened the gift is easy to remove

I loved making this card.  I was inspired by the Heidi Swapp ”Sugar Chic” petite paper pack, I love the borders that are on the page and I just couldn’t bring myself to piece them out.  So, I made a 6×6 card with a cute gift card detail.  Behind the gift box you can hide a surprise for the recipient, in this example I show you how to put cash inside.  You could make it large enough to place a gift card inside and that would be really nice.
I suggest in the video that you include instructions for how to open the card if you mail it.  If you are at the function where the card is opened you can just show the recipient how to open it.

Skinny dipping card? Hmmm…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe they didn’t go skinny dipping, I wouldn’t think you would take the time to hang your suits up!!

I love this card! It was so much fun to make.  I have never had any Lawn Fawn stamps and I just ordered these this week, love them!

I also got a new tool this week, it’s called a Pick Me Up Tool.  Click here to see more about it.

 

 

 

Keurig Vue House Party…

I was chosen to host a Keurig Vue House Party and I am so excited.  I received the Keurig Vue V700 for free and multiple coffees and cups to go with it.  They also send prizes for each of my guest that attend the party.  This has been so fun for us.  We have now hosted three parties in our home with House Party and each time we receive the coolest free products to try just for our opinions.

The first party we hosted was the Velveeta Cheesy Skillets party.  They sent us one of each flavor and a $50 gift card to help purchase the supplies for the party.  It came with a giveaway gift for each of the party attenders as well.

The second one we did was for the Just Dance 3 game for xbox.  They sent us the game to keep and use at the party and cool giveaways.

If you have never heard of House Party you should definitely check it out.  They are always looking for hosts to do different parties.

Immitation is the highest form of flattery…

I have had so many of you tell me that you are making one or more of the projects that I have introduced you to.  That means so much to me.  I would love for you to send me photos of your work.  I would like make a photo gallery of your projects.

Even if you are not doing something I made and demonstrated, send me your work, let me show off my subscribers talent!

I look forward to seeing what you have made.

Easy peasy tulip cake pops!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was so excited to find these Little Debbie cakes at Target this week. The package actually inspired this project. I saw the tulips on the sides of the cakes and immediately pictured cake pops. You won’t even think about turning on your oven with these!!

Enjoy,
