A Layout and more

I did this layout (scraplifted it) for Scrapbook Clearance Outlet with My Minds Eye products Kraft Funday “Bright Days” I thought the layout was just to darn cute and I thought Zoe's picture was just perfect for it.

Zoe like this layout so much she wants me to make the same layout for her book..so I am..same line but in a different color... I will post it when I get it done.

I also made another "clip it up"... this one was also for the store... Dora and I were asked to host a store at local retreat (Red Rooster Barn) and we used it to house stickers on there... and now it is at the store for sale ($30.00)... It actually holds more then a clip it up and is half the price of just the lower portion of the actual clip it up... mine you get a top and bottom for $20-30 depending on the size.  Check it out:

Here are some pictures of the retreat... not the best pictures.. but hey at least I remembered to take a couple.

 I made this sign (found at thrift store for $1.50)...I pained just the middle portion with chalk board pain...it was already this blue color.

 I don't know if you can see in these pictures, but I used vintage suit cases to hold items.. as well as enamel ware and cake platters. (which all sold)

 These pictures where while we were setting up... we had a lot of fun!

I also made this for the store... and might do a class as well on it..we will see if enough people sign up.

 How cute would this wreath be with a flower and a picture of to the side (of the middle portion).
I know this is a long post... but it has been awhile...

A Giveaway

Jennifer Priest at Hydrangea Hippo is having a giveaway...
She makes the most amazing mini books and layouts and awesome other awesome creations!
Blogger isn't letting me post pictures right now... so make sure you stop by her blog and check our what she is doing for CHA.

Something new I have been trying

So if you read my blog you know that I made a version of the clip it up for a friend...and now I have two more that I am painting and working on.

I have also been making these little dessert trays:

I am really enjoying the hunt of finding little plates and candle sticks or candy dishes to make these... I have 3 more made besides these.  I will post those after I get pictures... these three are a perfect size for yummie chocolates or a couple of cupcakes or brownies...(which is what I had in the platter with the dome until yesterday).  Two of the others that I made are smaller and are perfect for See's candies...and one is bigger, big enough for a cake...that one I painted the steam pink... can't wait to show you all.  I am hoping to start selling these... my first attempt will be at the Red Rooster Barn Scrapbook Retreat at the end of the month.
Scrapbook Clearance Outlet is hosting a store at these retreat...you can check out the information on Dora's blog.

2012 Word of the year

I have seen lots of bloggers out there who do a word of the year....

And this year I am going to play along!
My word for 2012 is

ORGANIZE

And boy do I need it! 
So not only is this a word, but a resolution as well.
First thing first....
I am working on my little scrapbook corner....
It has been such a unorganized mess for too long now!
My goal with this is to organize things to where I can find them
and get the work done I need to do... I have so much to catch up on.
After that I am going to tackle one home improvement item
each month starting in February. Wish me luck... I am handy, but never have
done home improvements before!  (I might just need to find me a handy man at times)
What are you goals, resolutions, word of the year???
Let me know... there might just be a RAK involved!

I made one!

Ok... so I saw this really cute "clip it up" on pinterest...
The "clip it up" was made out of a tall lamp base....
I made this for my friend Charity for Christmas...
I sure am looking forward to making more!
Check it out!
