On the Wish List- August Edition

wishlist_augustDoes anyone else feel like companies are upping up their game and releasing even more amazing products? Just when I feel like I’m at a comfortable place and don’t need or want anything else in my craft studio, a new release happens and I’m awe struck and looking for a money tree to pop up somewhere on our property.

This month I have a little mixture of stamp sets, inks and products and I have to confess, some of them are on their way to me right this moment. In fact, they should be here today! See? I couldn’t just keep these items in my cart, I had to checkout! Goodness gracious….I think I need a blindfold….or more self control.

 

Feel free to leave multiple questions here, ask me on any of my social media sites, or you can ask anonymously on this link: http://ask.fm/prettypinkposh. I’ll pull some of the most popular and frequently asked questions and bring them together for this post. Bombard me with questions, I’m READY! :)
ASKThank you for spending some time with me today, sweet friends. I truly adore hearing from you all and I shall be back again soon!

On the Wish List- July Edition

wishlist_july

Is anyone else in shock that today is the last day of July? While this month hasn’t gone how I thought it would, it still has flown by quickly. After planning for months the big 10 Minute Craft Dash Birthday Bash celebration, it’s amazing it’s just a week away!

I’m excited to spill a little more info on the birthday bash…. we will have one giant prize for the winner of the challenge- the retail value is well over $150! Every post between now and the day the challenge goes live will have some more nuggets of info. Stay tuned!

Last month, I did the first On the Wish List feature that was well received and I’m bringing a new edition this month. With some birthday money this month, I was able to cross a few things off of my wish list from last month {which was in THIS haul post}. I’m happy that I’ve been able to inspire some of you with these posts and hopefully once things settle a little more, I can start playing with the items and do some more videos!

This list is shorter than the last one and I was tempted to put in a few non-craft related items. Would you be interested in seeing those also? Example: I’ve been eying these TOMS for months and months now, but didn’t know if any of you would care to see that listed! *wink*

Sweet readers, I’m curious, what’s on YOUR wish list at the moment?

 

I am all about sharing the savings with my readers and just this week, Ellen Hutson posted a 20% off savings coupon for items that are in stock. With me posting these items today, I thought you might be in the mood to do some shopping. If you haven’t shopped with Ellen Hutson before, you are missing out. These gals have amazing customer service, I love their selection of products and honestly, supporting a small business in the city next to mine is a plus in my book.

Never Stop Believing

As I sit here writing this post, I am filled with gratitude to all of YOU, my amazing blog readers. Thank you for always leaving me the sweetest, most encouraging comments. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to send me emails with suggestions on different approaches I can take for my health. Thank you for your prayers, loving thoughts and your friendship. Thank you for coming along on my journey of life. I treasure you all so very much.

Today I have a card showcasing the set Bling by Mama Elephant. I pulled out one of the “buildings” and created a pattern with a variety of inks, then paired it up with a sentiment. Right now I am TOTALLY loving this sentiment- never stop believing- it’s so fitting in my life, along with those around me.

Confession: I wish I didn’t add the sequins to the card. I had laid a few down that had adhesive on them and when I went to pull them off, they stuck and couldn’t be taken off. In order to “fix” the card, I ended up having to add more. This is one of the very few cases where I actually wish I didn’t add sequins to a card. See, even I mess up on cards sometimes! *wink*

I hope you all have a fabulous Thursday. Thanks for spending some time with me today!

Graduation Congrats

Graduation season is upon us and I’m running behind on getting cards made. This year I know so many graduates, it’s a little overwhelming. The key this year: quick and easy cards!

I have had the Mama Elephant set, Flashy Letters, for quite a while now and FINALLY made a card that was worthy of posting. I love how fun and happy these letters are- they scream happy times to me. When I was in need of a sentiment for this graduation card, I just knew these would be the perfect fit.

Before I purchase stamps, I’m constantly checking to see if I can make due with something I already own. If nothing falls into that category, the next question: will I be able to get a lot of different uses out of it. This set passed my test and I’m happy to own it. Also, I was pretty excited about getting my first Mama Elephant set, too!

All Mama Elephant stamps are available at Ellen Hutson!

I don’t know about you all, but I am thrilled it’s Friday. Even with a short work week, this week felt long and my body still thinks it needs a vacation. I’m telling ya, after the car accident and these health issues, I’m fairly certain my brain and body thinks I’m in my 60’s! Hopefully both of them will cooperate with me so I can get lots accomplished this weekend.

In closing, just a reminder that TOMORROW is the last day to submit your Craft Dash DT applications! I have received so many beautiful applications from around the world- I hope yours will be added to the mix!
