As usual it took me a longer to get this post up then I had planned...I really need to manage my time better and get more organized! At least I made it "before" Easter, right! ;) You are one of my Favorite Peeps! I know when it comes to Peeps you either hate them or love them! lol I am totally on the "love" side of Peeps! I love their fun colors, glittlery sugar, and YES I love to eat them! All the fun new flavors they are coming out with are sooooo yummy! Even if you are among those... Continue reading

I can’t believe Easter will be here in less than a month now! I feel like the holidays keep sneaking up on me and I'm never ready no matter how much I "tried" to plan ahead. So here I am today with a new Easter subway print for our rotating frame in the living room. And what better way to celebrate holidays than to share it with some of my favorite "Peeps" today… for FREE! You can download the 8x10 print here. I decided to make this print highlighting some of my favorite fun things about Easter! So of course... Continue reading

Hi, I'm back again with some more of my Mickey Mouse party decor! I had such a good time making these for my sister Stephanie and little Maddox. The whole idea for the Mickey decor started when my sister asked if I could come up with a cute tag to put on the party favors. Stephanie found these great Mickey and Minnie pails at Party City and even more cute Mickey and Minnie things to fill them with. So in keeping with the theme I wanted tags to match. My sister's only request was to have the children's names be... Continue reading

I promised I would be back with some more details about the Mickey Mouse projects I made for my nephew Maddox. After searching Pinterest and Google for what seemed like hours I thought my t-shirt idea was going to be scratched! :( I could not find any Mickey cut files for the Silhouette. Each time I thought I was close the webpage had been removed. But just when I was about to give up I found the perfect tutorial! Instead of finding just a cut file to use, I found out exactly how to make my own. This will be... Continue reading

This past week I have really gotten a chance to play around with my new Silhouette Cameo. I can not begin to tell you how much I LOVE this machine! :D Here is a sneak peek at what I am working on... As you can see I have been busy working on some Mickey project's for my nephew Maddox...he is turning 3 this month! I was able to play around with the heat transfer vinyl for the first time...Love that stuff! Plus I played around creating the Mickey Head in several sizes and adding the fonts for different projects. This... Continue reading

This week always goes by too fast! For Spring Break our daughter Jessica (Now 18) made plans to go to St. Petersburg on the west coast of Florida (About 4-5 hours from our house) to see her "FAVORITE" band in concert with her BFF Katie. They planned the route they would drive, where they would stay, the whole thing! This was an early graduation gift...Rick and I got her the tickets and her Dad and Joyce got the hotel for the weekend. Everything was all set until - we confirmed the hotel! It was at that time we found out... Continue reading

The Irish have always been know for their gift of gab. For centuries, they have committed words to song, verse, and prose, offering the world a taste of the ancient Celtic traditions. One of the greatest art treasures of the Irish people, is the Book of Kells, which depicts the four books of the Gospel in stunning detail. The intricate knot work which is crafted in vibrant colors surrounding words that reinforce themes of faith and spirituality. For the Irish, words and language are a gift! The symbols on this page come from the prophecies of Ezekiel 1.4, and Revelation... Continue reading

St. Patrick's Day is one of my favorite holidays! Who am I kidding...I LOVE them ALL! But having blue eyes, fair skin, enough freckles to drive my dermatologist crazy, and red hair...makes me about as Irish as they come! I had so much fun creating my Valentine subway art last month I couldn't wait to get started on this one! I learned a few more tricks in Photoshop which is cool and I am pretty pleased with how this one came out. I hope you like it as well! :) If you would like to spread a little Irish love...

I have no idea where this month went, things just seemed to get away from me. I had all these plans and projects I was going to post and now here we are one day away from the end and I never posted...not even once! (Hangs head in shame) On the bright side...I guess I have projects all made for next year! lol Part of the problem has been my disappointing photos. :( You may have noticed in my last few posts (And this one) I used instagram shots...and NOT very good ones because I have the oldest camera phone...

Pinterest inspiration as been at an all time high this month and what do I have to show for it? These little mouthfuls of goodness came out of the oven tonight! The bottom layer is a cinnamon Graham Cracker cust which is then topped with the cheesecake mixture. This bakes up so light and fluffy, you could eat four of these and not even notice...not that I would know or anything! LOL As soon as they are out of the oven top with your fresh heart cut strawberries for Valentine's Day... Or any other fruit for the rest of the... Continue reading

Today I finished up the rest of the garland orders...I won't bore you with more photos of superhero themed circle garlands! I am sure you all (If anyone is out there) just said a quiet, "thank you." lol :) Its okay, this whole blogging thing is really weird to me, I pretty much figure I am sitting in my room typing to myself...no different than if I was talking to myself, so I'll just continue to ramble on. After I completed the garland orders I finally got to those felt hearts I cut out the other day...I also post pictures... Continue reading

I did not mean to take a week off from blogging already but this has been one crazy week! We ended last week with torrential rains Thursday that continued ALL night! The flooding was so bad our county closed school Friday...We actually had a flood day! Sections of I-95 were even shut down and over 100 cars were towed out of flooded areas in Boynton Beach on Friday alone. Saturday Rick got a memo from Geico that they had over 500 claims from the flooding in our area! Needless to say Rick has been very busy! But even though I... Continue reading

I decided this year one of the things I would like to work on "CHANGING" is my annoying habit of waiting until the last minute to get things done. I can sit up all night looking for great decorating ideas, new recipes, and craft projects for the upcoming holiday and before I know it said holiday is here and none of those amazing finds have even been started let alone finished! I know its terrible! (Hangs head in shame) Just what kind of DIY crafter am I? lol So this morning after a ton of inspiration on Pinterest and my... Continue reading

I am pretty sure everyone in the blogging and crafting communities is very familiar with Ali Edwards and her "One Little Word" concept. Basically instead of a list of New Years resolutions that for most end in failure before we get to the halfway mark, you pick One Little Word! That word will represent anything and everything you want to pursue in the coming new year. I first began to participate in 2010 and I posted the words I wanted to represent those first few years here on My Perfect 10. Then life got in the way and even though... Continue reading

Looking back 2013 had its fair share of ups and downs but I ended the year exactly where I wanted to be...At home with our family and in the arms of my true love. Things just keep getting better and 2014 is going to be our next Great Adventure! Once again I am going to try to be present on the blog more! :) And of course CRAFT more! (But that is all fun stuff!) There may also be some BIG changes coming for us in 2014 but you'll have to check back to hear about those. ;) In the... Continue reading

I mentioned a week or so ago we were asked if we would be interested in donating to a silent auction to help support Officer Laboy. There was no question we were going to send in the Superman headband from the shop but Rick also wanted to make something special for the Officers that would be there. He came up with this amazing design for an iPhone case using a Superman image and the logo for the Alexandria, VA motor cycle unit. I know I say this all the time but Rick amazes me! I think he really out did... Continue reading

One year ago today we listed our very first item on Etsy. It was a scary, exciting, and funny moment. I had the listing all ready to go (It was our 4th of July Garland) but I could not hit the submit button. I just could not take that last step. I thought I was making a BIG mistake I mean who was going to look at our stuff there were so many listings for felt garlands already! Rick got home from work and I must have asked him ten times..."Are you sure I should do this?" Finally he took... Continue reading
