My room is done!!! This is like the 3rd or 4th time I have redone my room. I think I have been in just about every room in the house, but this is now "home" for my stamping room! I love it too. I bought an 8 foot countertop for a work surface and loving it!! I also bought the cabinets unfinsihed and painted them myself, along with putting the drawer pulls on myself. I made the curtains, put together the bookcase. It was a long project, but I am very pleased with theresults. THis fall I want to get a nice flat screen tv to hang from the wall, so that will free up more counter space yet!! Let me know what ya think....

Playing around with my cricut.. I made this for my dogs bed. I think it turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself. Pete sure likes it :)

My peonies are looking kind of rough, like they have had better days. They are all dropped to the ground. I'm not sure if it is because of all the rain we have been getting or if it because they are all so top heavy. I need to split these plants and transplant them elsewhere because they are so big. Believe it or not, this is only 2 plants!! They smell so pretty though!!

the first fawn of the year

I saw this and was so glad I had my iphone with me. Its fur was still wet, and when it got up to leave, it was very shakey and wobbly.

Valentines

THis was another one of my many purchases yesterday. I fell in love with these two little love birds (love owls). A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!! The owls are new from stampendous (I think), the wild for you stamp was from the Michaels dollar bin, and shiny little doo-dads in the bottom right corner. I colored with copics, I need more practice with coloring though. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but have fun trying to figure it out :)

More to come...

Valentines

Yesterday a dear friend of mine and I went on a stampin/scrappin shopping spree. We were well overdue! I went a little crazy in Archivers. I fell in love with this stamp from Heroarts. Isn't it just the cutest thing ever???? I embossed the cupcake wrapper with fine white embossing powder (thanks to boyfriends mom who gave me a TON of different colors of embossing powders). Then I added stickles to the sprinkles on the cake part, and there are shiny little doo-dads on the bottom of the cake. I like the way it turned out.. stay tuned more to come from my trip...

My good friend Nancy created this stamp. She is SOOO talented!! I love the fact that she can draw and create her own stamp line. I love this stamp. I am getting TOO many favorites lately. This was colored with copics, no embellishments, but I love the simplicity of it. Another fun stamp to use.
