So, I went all crazy today and actually MADE A CARD! Yes, I did! Than I got even crazier and here I am posting it on a blog that was headed for shutdown (still probably is - jury's still out)!... Continue reading

A Small Re-gear

Turns out I don't have to delete the blog completely to go to a free platform - just have some limitations (like the theme, for example). I will continue to ignore this blog for the time being, including leaving everything... Continue reading

Heads Up!

Just a quick fly-by to alert anyone who may still be hanging around waiting for me to post something of worth or value: If there is any information or a tutorial or anything that you may want to reference in... Continue reading

Washi Wrangling

Back before Christmas I made some kits for my granddaughters that required a variety of washi tape, so I ended up with a collection. Like everything else in my crafty space, it needs a home that will keep it available... Continue reading

Surrender vs. Abdication

Lately I have been involved in discussions regarding self will and asserting it - or not. The contention is that our will is selfish and not a reliable guide, so surrendering to a higher power is the answer. That's good... Continue reading

Cake or Death?

I know - weird title for a blog post. I'll get to the reason in a minute... First, here's the card I made for one of my daughters for her birthday: Stamps used were Stampingbella's Petunia Thinks She's a Prezzie... Continue reading

Half-baked project finished!

So, you may remember this painting from quite awhile back (two years ago, as a matter of fact): When I bought the canvases for that project, they came in a pack of two and I bought two packs. Since I... Continue reading

And so, we begin again...

Now that I've got my room back in order and all of my stamps inventoried and tucked properly into the system, I can get back to creating, right? I actually made a card a couple of weeks ago, but had... Continue reading

Revamp, renew

As most of us are at this time of year, I'm re-thinking some of my organization and making necessary tweaks. I came up with an idea to solve two problems: 1) I bought some Ikea Bygel cups to hang on... Continue reading

Thoughts on beginning again...

Yesterday was kind of a write-off day. I won't say "wasted", because down time can be a good thing, too, but essentially it was a lot of laying around. There were things that I had wanted to do but I... Continue reading

Stampin'Up! has started selling the ink spots with no ink in them, so you can get them and use any reinker that you want to (SU! or another brand). I understand that they are the old felt style, rather than the new foam that SU! uses now.

They seem to stay juicy for quite a while, actually. I've added a few drops of reinker to a few of them, but over all I've been very pleased.

October is a-comin' and a-goin'...

I CANNOT wrap my head around the fact that the end of the year is fast approaching! Proof positive that time flies whether you're having fun or not - this year has definitely been a mixed bag! Mostly good, thankfully...... Continue reading

You're most welcome, and thanks for your comment! And thanks, as well, because it reminded me that I needed to edit/update this post! I've done so, now, and all is right again in the Sue-niverse! ;)

Here She Comes Again...

Good thing that I don't blog for a living, isn't it? I really should be at least a little more consistent, but I just never know what life is going to bring me at any given time. My work schedule... Continue reading
