I’ve embraced a Halloween theme for October this year. I don’t always, but this goofy jack-o-lantern from Clever Cat stole my heart. How can you resist him with that Sorting Hat on top? … More October 2021 DIY: Clever Cat (and pumpkin!)
There aren’t a lot of trick-or-treaters in my neighborhood so I can afford to have some fun: If you follow the Maui Stamper, you’ll remember I made these HERE. These are very similar, using the Pillow Box Framelits, the Howl-o-ween stamps, the Boo to You Thinlits and the Woodlands TIEF – but I used retired … More In just 2 days…Trick or Treat!
I am shamelessly CASEing these punkins: They were apparently a big hit a Founders Circle, Stampin’ Up!’s recognition event for the top 100 demonstrators. Janet Wakeland shared them privately with her RemARKable Stampers team , and Patty Bennett shared them on her blog with a little more detail. I made a punkin-patch worth of these … More Witchy Li’l Punkins
Crystal brought me a fabulous present a couple of weeks ago. The gift itself was awesome – The Best Bag Hook Ever!! The wrapping was pretty doggone sweet too: Tell me, does that look like Halloween paper to you??? Love, love love it!!! Here’s the side view – she layered solid Blossom punch flowers with … More It’s not just for Halloween

The children were never terribly enthusiastic about sticking their hands inside and scooping out the gooey stuff, but my … More Decorating Jack
I have a soft spot in my heart for the Build-a-roo stamp set. To be honest, that spot encompasses all things Australian since my daughter moved there in February. She and her boyfriend were with us for almost three glorious weeks recently, and I loved every moment of it. I’m missing them both: Build-a-Roo, All … More Kangaroo Boo
If you’re like me, a new Stampin’ Up! catalog makes your heart beat faster. One of the (many!) perks of being a demonstrator is seeing the new catalogs before they are released – and getting to order many of those products a month ahead of time. The Holiday Mini catalog this year practically had me … More Spooky things
This was one of those projects that sits around for a while and gathers dust while I decide what to do with it. The final touch was the tree and since my favorite Branch Out stamp set is RETIRED, of all things, I had to wait for Crystal to come by with Season of Friendship … More While we’re on the subject of Halloween…
