This entire project has been a lot of fun to do, especially because of the person I created the whole thing with, my husband!  This was a team effort, and honestly - I really learned a lot from him which was strange since I am the one on the team!!!  However, I scrapbook - I don't do large projects that involve molding faces and creating scenes, LOL!  But together with Del - we were able to create a one of a kind Halloween scene for our house - and fell in love with it all I did!  I will start by saying I love Gina's Designs - they were a ton of fun to work with, especially for this whole scene!  It is the littlest of details that their designs helped me to achieve, along with the Creative Paperclay product!  For the whole scene - we used the following products and supplies - feel free to substitute where you need to!   Supplies used: Creative Paperclay - 2 packages total Gina's Designs Lasercuts -       Bewitched...

Can we just say I am a bit behind the times!  I just recently got my first smartphone, and am learning all the fun things you can do with these fun devices, both business wise AND personal!  The fun little games to keep you occupied, the money saving apps, reading apps, and time saving apps too!  Yet I am old school too you might say, where a good ole' pen and paper helps me just fine when it comes to keeping track of things that needs to get done!  Today's post - is all about getting things planned out for the upcoming events and things in your life!   Now - as you look at this post, please do not think it is all about getting ready for the holiday's - it's not!  If you don't celebrate them, then great, your list will be a bit different than other people's will be (and less stressful when it comes to making things)!!!   Okay - grab your favorite items to organize yourself with - your smartphone, calendar, pen and pencil, notebook, sticky notes - a...

This whole "hand thing" - has just been a nightmare, let me tell you!  I will be really glad when this is off and I can type and craft like normal!  We won't even discuss the simple fact my husband has had to wash and condition my hair since the beginning of September!!!  Plus we are working on a design team project, and to say how cute it is turning out - is an understatement!  Make sure you check back the week of Halloween for some cute projects AND a blog hop too!   So, how do you craft - when you can't?  I have learned a few things during the past few weeks - the second time around only different hand!   Look at the tools you do have, and get back to the basics!  A paper trimmer does a great job for squares and basic shapes! Make notes for things that needs to get done when you are not incapacitated!  This way, you have a lot of the details worked out, which is half the battle! Look at blogs, Pinterest, websites, and books to get...

When Del and I moved from Colorado to California, almost half of the trailer we used to move was my crafting supplies, and I had already sold a lot!  To say my husband was mad - would be an understatement!  Yet the alternative - was giving me the money needed to repurchase it all - ya, that wasn't going to happen LOL, so move what we could we did!!!   2 years later, I now have a very small studio...okay, it's my dining space in my very small apartment, but it's mine all the same!  My space has evolved over the course of time, with different supplies to keep things in, and spaces to create on!  I ended up with a desk almost a year ago...and I love it!  I have plans to repaint it after I find the perfect wardrobe for all of my creative supplies to go in!  This way, I can customize the 2 pieces to my personal taste and needs! Now, do I hate having to be in space in which is shared with other people and needs - YES!!!  I wish I had my own room in or...
