Hi Everyone. I will be joining other bloggers tomorrow with a day of silence to support the victims of Sandy Hook, so I will not be posting tomorrow. This post will stay up until Wednesday evening. For the last few days we have been inundated with photographs of the person who committed this atrocity. Tonight, I would like to focus on those who were affected. Unless you have children, you forget just how young and innocent 6 and 7 year olds are. The photographs that were shared on news channels such as nbcnews reminded us of those children, captured forever... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday. It's the fabulous Ann's turn to host the Paper Players challenge this week and it's a CAS theme challenge. Right up my alley! I decided to feature snowflakes in two ways: pull out my Snow Flurry Bigz Die and a Sizzix snowflake embossing folder. Of course, I had to use my silver glimmer paper and some silver metallic card stock. In case that wasn't quite enough bling, I added a glimmer brad for good measure! Here's my card: We hope that you will join us and share your CAS card featuring snowflakes! This is the last... Read more →
My thoughts and prayers go out tonight to those affected by the the tragic shootings in Connecticut. My blood runs cold and the angels weep.

When you awake in the morning's hush I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Wednesday. I know... another ear worm for those of you that remember old classic "Hitchin a ride" by Vanity Fair. You can remind yourself here. This particular youtube video comes with some great photos, too! So, what does this have to do with my blog post... well, page down and see what that naughty elf has been up to! I am so pleased that we are half-way through this week! It seems that everyone is trying to get things done at work and there are so many projects that need to be finished before we can go...

Hi Everyone. Happy Tuesday As so many of you seemed to enjoy the snow photos from yesterday, I thought I would share a few more. I thought I'd share a card with you first, though. Another one I made for Enchanted Makeovers. I love the heart tree from the SU set Valentine defined. I used Early Espresso and Raspberry Ripple markers to ink up the stamp. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink signature greetings. I am loving looking out over the wetland at the snow. The world is so peaceful and really gets me in the mood for Christmas. One... Read more →
