Blog Update Post

After some tremendous time on Blogger, I have decided to go out on my own and use my own web address for my blog.  If you will please update your Bookmarks and Feeds to go to the new blog I would greatly appreciate that.

Also, just to let you know I have many new things coming for you and in store.  Hope you are enjoying all the videos on YouTube and many kits being listed in Etsy.

Harold's ABC Card Making Kit (and cards)

Yesterday, I was needing to make a card for my landlord to send the rent in (it's a joke that we have started) and I wanted to just make something Fall but also fun.  I came up with these cute Happy Fall Y'all cards and I totally love them! :)  I also created a YouTube video while making the first one so and would love for you to watch it and leave me a comment (you can leave a comment on the blog as well ;).

Well to make things even better, I have two kits available in my Etsy shop for the stamp set and 10 card blanks. I have also listed other stamp set collections up there as well and hope that you will take part in purchasing them.

Remember when you purchase items at the same time, you save money on shipping because you get reduced shipping on the following items.  If there is more than $1 in shipping overpaid, I will refund the difference.  I work hard to keep the shipping costs as low as possible and use the good ole' USPS and test things before I list them so hopefully that won't have to happen to often.

First Monday Trade Days- Canton, TX

The First Monday of every month (or actually the weekend that includes the First Monday) is an amazing weekend in a small town east of us. Canton, TX transforms into a 100 acre flea market filled with crafts, antiques and more!

As a child my grandparents lived in Canton and it was more of just a flea market then. We went regularly and spent good times with Papa just looking for junk. We would always come back with some little treasure that we thought was the best. Over the years it has definitely grown and become one of the most interesting places to shop.

Yesterday, Michael, my mom, dad and I all took the trip out there (only about 25 mintues from us) to go spend the day. We started out together and then we split up after about 30 minutes. I saw the cutest little onesie in a shop and had to share it. When we have a baby girl, she will defitely have COOL clothes like this! :)

As we were walking, there was this HUGE store that sells wooden accents. They sell them blank for you to decorate and have some pieces ready for you to buy already made. I took this for my Saints buddies. :) LOVE YA Taffy!

I was so amazed by this booth (Ribbon Oasis as I call it) and they actually have 3 in the whole place. I bought about 20 yards of various ribbons and twine for $10. I LOVED IT! Can't wait to use them on my projects that are upcoming (and of course get more).

This time of the year most booths are putting out their Christmas stuff. Many of the booths stated "No Pictures" but I did take some when I could. This little sign was cute and I think I see something like this in my future.

While we were there (for five hours none the less), Hubby and I had a great time. We shared a corn dog and hand-squeezed lemonade. I am definitely sure that we will be back. We started talking about going in January when the holiday season was past us and I can't wait.  Hopefully by then I will be out of my boot completely and can walk without pain. :)

What a trip down memory lane and great pictures to go in my Halloween 2010 mini album! :) Oh and don't think that the ribbon was all I got. I got a wooden owl and branch to hang in my studio (picture soon), a frame for our living room Live, Laugh, Love wall, some magnets for the refrigerator and Michael got a Cowboy Toothpick Clip.

Glimmer Mist Gals Club

October shipped earlier this week. We were so sorry for the delay but waiting on the one last color was just frustrating.

October colors were: Moonlight, Mustard Seed, Fully Purple, Deep Plum, and Gold.

November will be shipping next week! It came in at 8:30 pm tonight! Gotta love my UPS man! :)

November colors are: Vanilla Breeze, Coffee Shop, Latte, Antique Brass and Pearl (repeated because Juniper has been discontinued)

"Happy Times" Layout

I created this layout for the Posh Designs Scrapbook Store Layout Challenge #18 (due 10/25) and the Etsy Inspired Challenge #111 (due 10/29).

Both sites have regular challenges and I was excited that I got to not only play along but got to participate in two challenges this weekend. I am definitely working on my wedding album piece by piece and would LOVE to have it done by our second anniversary in April but I'm not going to force it. :)
