Exercising My Yes Muscle

Stretch. Yawn. Stretch.  After the massive posts of last Friday, and a mostly lazy weekend.   I promised myself to focus some time on the classes I signed up for with Chelle’s Creations and Suzy Q Scraps. I had taken a look at the first few classes and knowing my logo needed work I decided to spend MONDAY going over and over the logo portion of one of the classes. I ended up spending the week.  What I realized is, ( duh) a logo represents the design. So if the design style is...

Snow Styles 02

I don’t see much snow living in Texas. Never did see much growing up in Arizona either. Facing facts I am sure longing for snow is much more fun than day in day out snow. I think that is why I make snow styles. This is the second batch so I can see I love the IDEA of snow more than actual cold wet stuff. Digital Snow for ME!!  These Styles are a bit more representational than the first set.  Snowlines ( style 7 )  is my interpretation of blowing lines of snow far away. There...

CU Quilted Christmas Stars

Ready? Set? Stars! Jodiann’s  CU Quilted Christmas Stars Too Early to start in on Christmas Stuff?     A tad.    I keep remembering this wonderful neighbor when our little family still did the apartment scene. She was so organized. Every October she would take her kids for their Christmas Photos. She had the last weeks of October to frame, make ornaments, cards and calendars with her kids photos. Then come November they were wrapped, boxed up and shipped out all over the country...

Vintage Halloween Style Bundle & YOYO Elements

Each October I dig out the dusty boxes holding Halloween stuff. Costumes on top. As I unpack to get to the decorations I get to remember. The year I was Mother Nature and Dillon was an apple tree. The year Nathan went as Pizza. The year the boys made their own costume. 2 headed, 3 legged monster with their left and right legs tied together, a big black cloak over the top of them.  The year Jack and I went as Beausephus and Josephine Hayseed, matching rope holding up our pants. The most...
