I think I like this one the best of the three, what do you think? Not sure if it is the stripes and the blue/green or what.

Sale-a-Bration starts on the 28th! Are you ready? What is the first thing you are going to pick for free?

Have an awesome Monday and thanks for stopping in.

Today's Open House was so much fun! I love talking about and showing new stuff, and I think everyone loved the make n takes and how cute and quick they were.  Here is another one from the Happenings Kit #133329. It comes with everything shown here, except the adhesive and stamp set and it makes 15 cards with envelopes for only $14.95 - what a deal!!!

I used the greeting from Peachy Keen. Don't you just love it?

So about a week ago I think it was, I looked in the potato bucket and saw this.

Since I started my diet I just eat sweet potatoes, and I thought wow look how pretty the leaves are, so I posted it on FaceBook (what did we do before FaceBook right?) and I asked do I plant it?  I knew I didn't think you should eat it once it starts to grow limbs.  Mostly everyone said to plant it and I didn't even need to use dirt, but just put it in water. So I did and look at it today.

I just have it in a little dish inside my old sifter, I need to find a bigger dish to put it in but I kinda like the sifter look and it sits on my kitchen window sill.  The roots are winding around inside the little dish...do you think if they get too many I can just trim them? My sister said I had a green thumb, I chuckled a little bit...yah I can grow a potato...ha! You should see the stuff she grows...much more fancier and prettier than a potato.

Have a blessed Sunday and thanks for stopping in.

I'll show you the other two cards in the next couple days.

I only have a couple more of the Class in the Mail - Vivid Vases, so please let me know if you want to order one.

Ugh my new glasses are killing my head, they are too tight around my ears, I have tried sticking the temples or lugs whatever they are called in hot water and try to bend them but must not be working. I will have to go back to the Doc and have him adjust them.

I gotta go finish setting up my studio, so I better git!

Have an awesome Saturday and thanks for stopping in.

I wanted to show the cute little Mini Masterpiece I did for online orders for the month of December. This cute Mini Masterpiece uses Teeny Tiny Wishes, Happy Watercolor and Serene Silhouettes.

I do a different Mini Masterpiece each month. By placing a single $50.00 or more (before tax and shipping) order in my online store,  you will get a mini masterpiece of your own*

The Mini Masterpieces are adorable they are about 2 1/4" x 1 1/2" in size. You can frame them all together in a collage, make a cute tag or you can put them on a card, it is up to you. 

*Workshop & club orders do not count for the Mini Masterpiece.

I picked up my new glasses tonight, now I have to get used to reading my monitor again, how I have to tilt my head and all that...I wear trifocals (egads right?) and they are progressive so it can be a little getting used to at first.  These ones get dark in the sun like my old ones, but they didn't have the cute sunglass magnetic clip dealie, and in the car they don't turn. So a few years ago on one of our SU! cruises we were able to pick a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses for free, so I am having them put in prescription lenses so I have them for driving.  I figure when we go on the Caribbean cruise and if I need to use contacts to swim or whatever I'll just pick up a pair of cute sunglasses for that purpose...it sucks to be blind...and deaf, I swear I told Jeff if I was a horse I would have been made into glue long ago...just think I might have been the SNAIL adhesive, so I still would have been part of Stampin' Up! but not in the fun way...ha!

Have an awesome Thursday and thanks for stopping in.

I also finished my Mini Masterpieces for December and those will go in the mail tomorrow. I will show you that another day.

I can only take a couple more orders for the Vivid Vases Class in the Mail, so if you are wanting to order one, please let me know right away, thanks so much!.

I had to go to Sam's Club today and when I was taking my stuff out to my truck I thought I heard something fall from my cart but didn't see anything.  So I got to my truck and was loading it and then someone tooted and it made me look and then I see a box and I am like is that mine? did something fall? so then a lady picks it up and I was like crap that is my kleenexes, so she was asking someone else if it was theirs and then I was like oh that's mine.  I wonder if when I looked my cart was pushing the box so I didn't see it? Who knows, I am just glad that the lady picked it up for me.

We have a Costco card and a Sam's Club card, do you have a preferance when you shop?

Have an awesome Thursday and thanks for stopping in.
