‘When You Wish’ Sneak Peek

If you are in the San Angelo/Christoval area, you will definitely want to make plans to stop by this Saturday to sneak-a-peek at what the new Close To My Heart Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge can do…and to pick up your FREE copy of the 2011 Autumn/Winter Idea Book!

My CTMH Cricut Art Philosophy collection arrived on Tuesday and my Cricut Expressions has been smokin’ ever since!

This amazing collection of goodness comes with the exclusive CTMH Cricut cartridge called Art Philosophy and three coordinating My Acrylix stamp sets and Dimensional Element sheets.

I’ve been having a TON of FUN playing with it all the last two days and below is just a sneak peek of one of the goodies I’ll be giving away for the on-time drawing…at 10:00 am sharp!

I thought I’d also share the darling 3” x 3” cards I made up from the CTMH Convention Leadership Day create ‘n take. This gives you a peek of our EIGHT new paper packets! Love them all!

   

I see a workshop in the works…more details to come!

Meanwhile…

Bevyn was creating her own concoction while I was busy playing with my new CTMH goodies.

Yummmmmm…NOT! Mixed in with toys and cheese crackers was about ten bucks in coins! It was not fun sorting that all out…

More creating and more adventures to come in the next few days…stay tuned!

Christmas Wishes & Last Minute Gifts & Goodies

This adorable handmade card came in the mail a few days ago from my sweet friend & downline with Close To My Heart, Katy. She is so creative & it always brightens my day when I see her beautiful artwork, especially when it shows up in my mailbox!

Caitlyn & I have had a lot of fun the last few days making edible goodies for Christmas Eve. We made these yummy candy coated pretzels with peppermint sprinkles together and she also made some snowball cookies & sugar cookies for Santa.

I also spent some time this week making up these fun dry erase boards for a few of my best girlfriends. We meet together every week to encourage one another as we strive to live for Christ daily and follow in His footsteps. I can not put into words how grateful I am that God has put these wonderful women in my life. It fills my heart with joy to know they are always there for me when I need a word of encouragement, a shoulder to cry on or someone to listen to my ramblings. They are the best!

One of them loves to scrapbook as much as I do too so I thought it would be fun to fill in her to do list…

Now that looks like the perfect to do list to me! :O)

Merry CHRISTmas!

Are You Living In CHAOS?

Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome? Ü Then be sure to visit Flylady!

I found this website quite a few years ago and every now and then I have to visit it again to get back on track. Flylady has helped me get my home in order (or back in order) many times over the years and I realized just recently it was that time again. Ü

I don't realize sometimes how disorganized I'm getting and how I start to let things go and then BAM! It hits me one day and I start thinking...'Flylady...where are you???' LOL!

Flylady's motto is...'You Can Do Anything in 15 Minutes'.

This past week, Flylady's zone mission was for the master bedroom and she gives you missions each day to work on. Our master bedroom had gotten out of control! Unfortunately, I didn't think to take any pictures before I started decluttering, so you will have to use your imagination. Ü I had clothes piled high in my rocking chair, an old mattress leaning against the wall that we hadn't bothered to put in the shop yet, a baby pack 'n play we hadn't used and needed to move downstairs, a dying fern in the corner, cluttered nightstands and dust bunnies galore.

So, this past week, I've been working pretty hard to declutter and turn our master bedroom back into a sanctuary for us. Here are the results of many 15 minute increments combined...

Caitlyn can actually sit in the rocker now!

Now I'm looking forward to next month's master bedroom zone work so I can do some of those things I've been meaning to do for awhile now, like...get curtains on the other two windows, get a quilt rack to put underneath my 'believe' sign and maybe even getting some new bedding. Ü

Hope this gives you some inspiration to tackle any cluttered areas of your own home!

Sweet blessings, Pamela
