getting ready

Like I mentioned last week about the Paper Crown Spring Glitter Market, I am busy in my room "getting ready".  This is why I have been lacking in my posts.  I want to show you just a little glimpse of a few of the things I am working on and will have for sell...............

May Basket Cones..........

wall hangings, some on canvas and some on old book covers.............

piles of journals.................

china head doll art, frozen charolette art.............

And YES I will have pear pin cushions..............for those of you who did not get one in the fall.

I have jewelry, bottles, some soldering charms, and so much more.  I guess I better get off so I can get to work.  Remember to save the date.  Saturday April 30th.  You can go to the Paper Crown button on my side bar on the left to get more info.  Cindy will have a list of the vendors soon.

I will keep you all updated with pictures as I get more things finished............ 

look at these........ and...........SAVE THE DATE!

Well............. did we ever have a great time last night at the PC.  These gals did an amazing job on their EGGS.  Each egg was so different. 

Busy Busy Busy

 




I hope you all enjoyed looking at these wonderful eggs.  I hope I got everyone's  in.  If I did not I apologize.  Thanks girls for another wonderful class.  You all are amazing students and thank you for always putting up with all my craziness.

 

I have wanted to announce this for a while.............

 

 

Paper Crown SPRING Glitter Market

 

Saturday April 30

 

More information later!  Just wanted you all to know to save this date.  It will be a great time to buy Mother's Day gifts, graduation gifts, wedding gifts and end of the year teacher gifts.  We will be posting more about this later.  ( now that explains what I have been busy doing)

 

enjoy this spring weekend 

spring....................

The old saying goes " Don't put all your eggs in one basket................I did!  To bad they won't be in there  very long.  These are the eggs for tomorrow nights class.

The girls  will turn these blue eggs into this:

 

Should be a fun class.

Spring is always so busy ............  The days and weeks go by so fast.  I don't know where the time goes.  I have been extremely busy and not so much to blog about.  But I have a few things going on, and hopefully will share with you soon.

And these little lemon melting moments will greet the girls tomorrow evening............

 

 

Easter ATC swap at the PC............

Those of you who want to swap Easter ATC's, they are now ready for you to pick up at the Paper Crown!

 

Not only do you need to pick up your cards, but you are in for a real treat to see all the new products and merchandise Cindy has gotten in the past few days!  Swing by! 

 

Hope all you Spring Breakers had a wonderful break. 

Something for sale..................

Sorry this is upside down...............go figure!

 

For those of you who live in the Oklahoma City metro area I have something I want to sell.  The reason it has to be someone around here ....... it's to big to mail.  It measures 20x24".  First come.............so if your are interested please leave me your email address and I will give you more information!

 

I am so sorry you can't see it rotated the right way but that is how it came up!

 

hope you all are having a great weekend.............

Happy St. Patty's Day

My husband LOVES these nasty things..............my friend Jill brought these to him for St. Patty's Day!

soon to be my tulips...............spring is here!

 

Wishing you all a fun St. Patty's Day..............wear green and eat green!

staying home...............

Isn't it amazing what you can get done if you stay home and focused...........that is exactly what I did yesterday!  I am playing with some old silver pieces, china doll heads and all sorts of vintage looking wires, spoons, forks and whatever I can find..ha ha!

hope you enjoy the pictures of what is going on in this little part of my world.............

this and that monday

I was at the store today ( The Paper Crown) and took a few pictures of all the NEW merchandise!  Wow the back room tables are full, plus Cindy said she had several boxes that she has not even unloaded!  All of the new Crate Paper is so cute.  The littlr boys line and little girl line.

so cute...........

I love this new company Cindy started carrying. The texture of the paper is really good quality and I love all the colors and patterns.  If  you haven't seen the Crate Paper line you need to head up and check it out, along with all of these others.

this alphabet is awesome.......

we will be using this one in our apron book class...........

If your children are on Spring Break this week and want something creative to do, take them to get some supplies to start their own scrapbook!  Cindy has everything you need and more!  It is a great way to start those little minds creating and they will love doing it all by themselves.

 

Those of you who will be taking my Easter Egg Class on March 24 you will need to provide your own candle stick for the egg to rest upon! 

Here is a picture of the one I used.  It doesn't need to be this tall, it's just what I had.  It does not even have to be glass.  It can be brass, silver, resign, wood ceramic or anything that looks like it would work to set the egg on.

I do have a couple extra ones you can buy from me in class.  They aren't this tall.  About half this size.  I will bring them to class that night.  Just let me know!

 

Then we had this little cutie in the store while I was there..............

Her name is Chloe and her Momma is going to start teaching classes ..........she was so cute! I tried to get her to smile but that is about as close of one as I could get.

Another little project I am working on  for a special little boy who is turning 1.  I will show you the finished project after the big birthday bash............  You can check back after April 3 for pictures.

 

Well I guess that wraps up this and that for today.  Hope to have some productive looking posts this week.  Lots going on around here.  Hope your having a productive monday.

saturday morning donuts............

THere is nothing any better than a GOOD donut on saturday morning with a GOOD cup of coffee....

I remember growing up in California eating donuts all the time.  I can live without some things but not donuts!  I LOVE donuts.  Ask any one who knows me.  

When we move back to Oklahoma from California in 1980, our son Adam was 1. My sister and niece ( who is Adam's age) would meet us every saturday morning at our local Dunkin Donuts.   We did that for years.  Everyone just knew we would show up on saturday morning.  

I don't go every saturday any more but once in a while I indulge and this morning was one of those donut saturdays.  

The best donuts on the west coast is in my home town San Luis Obispo.  Sunshine Donuts!  If you are ever in SLO stop any time of the day.  The cake donut with the chocolate and chocolate sprinkles is to die for!  I am really picky about my donuts.  Cake over puffy----------any day!  That is just it!  No questions in my book of donuts.

And if you are ever in Honolulu, Hawaii you have to get a donut ( malasada) at Leonard's.  Oh the coconut cream filled is the best.  They don't fill them until you place your order.  Oh I can taste it now.

I just wanted to let you know about one of my secrets!  Donuts.

 

Do you have a favorite donut?

Happy saturday morning.................
