Picky Palate

Found an AWESOME new cooking blog! http://www.picky-palate.com/ On my first breezethrough of the site, I bookmarked at least ten new recipes. Absolutely fantastic!

Inspired!

Found a neat new contest blog that looks fun to participate in--The Etsy Inspired Challenge! This week I've taken inspiration from the Etsy shop Gypsy Rose Handbags and this bag here....

Christmas Cards

I love using different colour combos for my Christmas cards! Here's two you might find in your mailbox this year! Enjoy!

PPA14 Contest

Thought I'd participate in the Pals Paper Challenge this week... We were told to make a card with pink in it in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. So, in my crafting this morning, this is what I came up with! I've been making cards like crazy for the craft show! If only I weren't so silly and didn't mind making the same card twice--I'd have a lot more done that way!

Craft room!

So our "guest room" is now more of a "craft room!" Since our old table was just sitting in the basement, I dragged it upstairs to use in in the corner of my craft room. This doubled my counter space and gave me more room to store things in view. It's easier to be creative when you can see what you have to work with!

More Christmas Cards

I love this huge medallion stamp! Thought I'd show off a few of the super easy cards I made using it. These cards will be for sale on November 14th's craft show.

New chairs: a before and after story...

Finally had a chance to get working on the chairs last night! I've had the fabric sitting here for over a week but really have not had a spare chunk of time to take these apart and start the redo. So, I put on a movie (The Business of Being Born which is wonderful and educational and great!) and got started! Aaron was out helping a friend organize his garage so that he can store his new motorcycle there so I took over the living room! I have two more to finish today sometime. I took a break to watch some TV with Aaron last night and we both fell asleep! After that it was straight to bed that's for sure!

Here's our before and after (the yucky yellow is before, people!)!
