Day 3!

I am proud to announce that I am Unity Stamp's Growing in Unity Girl this week. It is my pleasure to showcase some of their wonderful products and different ways to use them. 

Welcome to Day 3! 

For those not familiar with Unity Stamp, this small family owned business offers over 60,000 sentiments and images all of which are produced in the USA. In addition they offer dies, paper and more! 

Thank you for all of your kind words and comments. We are halfway through the week. 

It is the season of gift giving and even in this day and age of electronic communications, I am a firm believer in a hand written thank you card. This adorable set is perfect for this project!

You will want to get your kids and grandkids involved using Mice Lil Thank You to make thank you cards.

It would be easy to stamp this mouse multiple times and have them color it. I fussy cut the mouse but you could also just stamp on a [piece of paper and have them write the thank you note on it. Anyone would be excited to get one of these in the mail. 

Thank you for visiting my blog today! Now for the important part - don't forget to leave your comments all week here - and also on Facebook and Instagram -for a chance to win a $20 gift card to the Unity Store. 

Be sure to check back tomorrow for another project featuring Unity Stamp products!

Let's make a card today and the recent winter weather is my inspiration!

UnityStampCo offers a Kit of the Month. These are an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet filled with deeply etched red rubber stamps. This kit, named Fa La La La La, has trees, pumpkins this lovely girl on a bench. 

Everything I needed was in this kit - the girl, the snowflakes and the title. I painted her using watercolors and added glittery snow once dry.

Today I am highlighting a fun Birthday Stamp 

Happy Birthday Balloon

How cute are these tags which can be attached to birthday gifts! For two of the tags, I created a watercolor background before stamping. For the third, on the wine, I stamped and then painted. You will use this stamp over and over. In the gift bag is a book and the tag will be the perfect bookmark!

 The Art show is over and it is time to clear those supplies out of the way for a bit. Instead I am gearing up to join SBC Fest over Scrapbook.com.

I am going to scrap and make cards! Who is going to join me? 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you at

Happy Labor Day Weekend!

 Happy Labor Day weekend. 

Here in Michigan we have been enjoying the nicest stretch of weather! Gorgeous blue skies with temps in the mid 70s! We have a family friend visiting and we have been busy taking in the local sights!

Next Saturday I will again be a part of the Rogue River Artists Association -https://rogueriverartists.org/ - Art in the Park ing Lot. This juried show will feature over 80 local artists. Set in the Wolverine Shoe Depot Parking Lot, it is a perfect spot to visit to shop, admire and be inspired. 

I will have original greeting cards as well as paintings. 

Thanks for stopping by and if you are near Rockford, MI come by the show!

Welcome to August

 I survived another art show on Saturday and am happy that quite a few people purchased cards and/or paintings. Our town was having sidewalk sales so there were more people in town than normal. The art group is prepping for the big show in September. Between our artists and the guests there will be over 70 tents filled with paintings, photography, jewelry and more!

I did manage to do a little scrapbooking. The grandkids went back to school in July. Love the first day with all of the new clothes and supplies. 

Off to create more pieces for the September show!

Thank you for stopping by and for your kind words!

Happy Monday

 Well, time has again fast forwarded on me again. Since my last post, I spent three weeks with the grandkids. My husband and I joined them for a 5 day vacation in Carlsbad, Ca. We had a blast playing in the ocean, exploring the town, going whale watching and spending another day at Legoland. 

I then stayed two more weeks to babysit before the kids headed off to school on July 16. Yes, that early! They are on a modified year round calendar. They get a 2 week break in the fall, 2 weeks at Christmas and 2 weeks in the spring. They finish shortly before Memorial Day. I love being there to attend Meet the Teacher night and go with them the first morning. They are tackling third and first grades this year! Big sister always helps little brother go inside and get to his room. 

Now I am back and have another art show this weekend. The weather looks promising with the heat and humidity breaking just in time. 

I have been working on new pieces which I hope customers will like. 

Thank you for stopping by and I will try to be more present going forward:)
