Happy Halloween to everyone stopping by today. :) Jaydon came down with a bad cold a couple days ago... I was worried it would spread to the rest of us by evening, so we had to cancel our halloween party. Oh well, such is life.... On the bight side, I guess I already have decorations purchased for next Halloween. :) My princess is super girl, and boy is she ever playing the part! She is standing with her hands on her hips, and her fist forward as she "fly's" :) Her daddy showed her a short clip ( on the... Read more →

Our home... some history
I dont think I have ever posted before pictures of the girls' room... or very many before pictures of the house at all... but believe you me... I definitely have them. To say this house was thrashed would be somewhat of an understatement. I can still remember standing in the front yard of the house, after a quick showing of the house. We had asked my parents to come along for a second opinion... and I can still hear my dad saying "it looks like a big job" He was sooo right, but we were MORE then determined to make... Read more →

finally! New art!
This print was actually started back in august... but I couldnt seem to get it just right. Every now and then I have that problem with a particular print, but finally it turned out perfect! I dont generally use purple, so I wasnt sure how it would work out, but I am actually really happy with the end result! Its hard to believe that October is almost over, and this is only the second print I have finished... Of course I *have* photographed and listed a couple sets of christmas cards, and have designed quite a few stamps... so I... Read more →

Holiday postcards
So, here they are! If you knew me when my etsy shop was SparksFly then you just may remember these postcards. :) I ordered 500 of them last year... so even though they were popular then... I still have some left! So, I decided to deeply discount these... at .50 cents a postcard. Not only will you save in the cost, but you will also save on shipping... since of course it costs a little less to mail a postcard as it does to mail a card. :) They are double sided complete with lines to insure you fill these...

a super sweet write up...
Morning everyone! I have a couple posts planned for today, my first post is somewhat of a thank you to two very sweet people. :) First of all a great big thank you to Tess for giving me the idea and inspiration for the piece... "you only live once." It is safe to say that it is one of my personal favorites, and has been pretty popular among you guys as well. :) My second thank you is for Lori of Elvie studio. She chose vol25 as her inspiration this monday! :) She had only the sweetest things to say... Read more →

Holiday Cards are here...
Hello everyone, did you have a good weekend? Ours was nice! Saturday night we went out for dinner at the Outback and it fulfilled two of my cravings, coconut shrimp, and alice spring chicken... yum! I am getting hungry just thinking about... Anyhow, before I raid the fridge for a late night snack I thought I would let you all know that the Christmas cards are now in the shop. Well, half of them are. See, my order came in. I ordered 250 of one design, and 250 of another design. The one design "let it snow" came in with... Read more →

More big news!!
Hello! Well, I am finally making time to share with you that juicy little tidbit of information... I have been working on a big new project with a super nice lady named Emily. See, Emily owns stamping bella, an online stamping shop (as well as her own brick and mortar store) you can find here. A few weeks back emily found me while browsing etsy, and contacted me about participating in a new (passion) venture of her own... "SCRAPPING bella" (you can see her blog post about the new adventure HERE) There were a few things that needed coordinated and... Read more →
5 years together!
Happy Anniversary to us! Yep! On saturday, Jaydon and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary. For those who may not know our story, here it is: We met in Grand junction Colorado at a mutual friends BBQ. Since I had to fly back to Washington two days after meeting him, we talked on the phone ALOT... he flew out 2 weeks later and spent a week here in Washington. He asked me to marry him on July 3rd. Just three short weeks after meeting each other. We had a 3 month long engagement, and tied the knot on October 18th... Read more →

Free holiday tags
Hello! I *think* I just may have finally figured out how to bring you all some long awaited free download-able goodies! So, it took some severe googling, and a little digging in my brain to remember how to create a pdf (had to remind myself originally to introduce the new embroidery patterns into the shop last week) but creating the pdf was the easy part... the hard part seemed making it actually available to download via the net. Here's hoping the link provided and the whole process works for you! Please be sure and let me know if you have... Read more →
