Lists...

Do you make lists to make your life easier? I do. I have lots of notebooks to make lists of things I have to do, lists of things I want to do...lists of things that I didn't finish on the last list of things to do. Lists of pretty things and places that I like to think about. Lists of pretty things that I'd like to own one day. Lists of accomplishments...lists of neglected or failed things (That's a long one)...but I'm working on taking things off of this list and putting them onto a "Completed or Successful" list. Then there are the lists of things that need to be done around the house....preferably before the whole place falls apart. There's also a gardening list, a shopping list, a sewing list, a papercrafting list, a class cutting list and a list of things to take to someone else's house. And...oh dear...the holidays are approaching...lists of grocery items and things to get ready for Thanksgiving; Christmas lists for gifts ,cards and celebrations.
I'm a little list obsessed...after all....this whole post is a list of lists. :)

Birthday Wishes.....!

Happy Birthday To You!

Soft Autumn Colored Scalloped Tags...

I seem to be on a tag making kick lately.........they're fun to make and there are so many ways to make them. This is a new set of tags for my Etsy shop....vintagey...in soft Autumn colors...and with ribbon loops to attach to a package.

Nature and Gifts....

You gotta love Nature...it's always giving us gifts. One generous animal must have found this in our neighbor's pond...proceeded to eat what was in it...and then left the evidence behind our front hedge. And my neighbor Chris was just saying that she hadn't seen the turtle recently.......

Travel Tags...

Another set of tags...this one with a travel theme. Half of the tags have cars, boats or an airplane as an embellishment. The other tags have a travel word raised and matted as embellishments. I loved all of the background travel words on these tags...but especially "Lost". :)

A Post!

After another round of family disasters....not to mention a full moon and Mercury in retrograde ( Look it up) I'm back again to post on my blog...it's good to be here.
I have been working on things at odd times of the night and day...so I'm getting things accomplished...it's relaxing and makes me happy :)

Here is one of the new tag sets that I've done...soft vintagey colors on a chipboard based kraft colored tag. Each tag is embellished with a handmade floral print paper flower and soft green and cream striped ribbon.

Hmmm...I do have a Blog!

Unfortunately that is something I forget every so often....so while I'm remembering... I'll show you some recent cards that I've been meaning to upload.

The first one is the July CARS group card...the theme for July was "Irreverent" Stamps. For a Christmas card...you can't get a whole lot more irreverent than "Jingle your own damn bells!". I love the handstamped and copic colored reindeer...and the sentiment is something that I know I'd say about a week before Christmas when there's too much to do and not enough time to do it in.
