Happy Owls

Hello, sweet friends!

As some of you may have noticed, I haven’t been posting too often, but that’s not to say I haven’t been keeping busy. I have three videos going up within the week, the brand new dies and Patriotic Embellishment Kit will release on Sunday and there’s lots of other things happening behind-the-scenes. There are collaborations coming, new products and well, you just never know what other surprises I have up my sleeves.

Recently my dad needed me to re-create a card for a show display and well, I had to change it up a bit. I don’t know about you, but I rarely create the exact same card over- there’s always something I want to change! This card was inspired by THIS CARD that I posted for an old blog hop.

I’ve been getting TONS of emails and comments asking where this large stitched tag is from. Good news: it’s a die that I designed and will be available for purchase on Sunday. Just a few more days! Also, that fun stitched “hill” is part of the border trio that I designed as well.

Curious as to why there are eight owls on this card? The original card was designed for my dad as a Father’s Day card and there are 5 of us kids (the ones in the box), then there is my brother-in-law and my parents. Whenever I can, I always try to include the 5 of us kids into the cards for my parents…. speaking of which, I should probably start designing my Father’s Day card for this year!

Since this card was based off of a previous card, I’d love to hear which one you prefer! Personally, I like the new one (since it’s more my colors and style now), but I’m curious to hear your opinions! I’m thinking this might be a fun feature….yes? no?

owls That’s all for today’s post. I’m hoping to craft all day today, if that happens, I’ll post snapshots of what I’m working on to my social media accounts. Be sure to follow me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Sending big crafty hugs to you all….

Christmas Is Not About Gifts…..

I will be the first to admit that I love buying gifts for people, almost to a fault. I love showing the people I hold dear how much they mean to me- in cards, random acts of kindness and gifts. Showing them in tangible ways how much I treasure our relationship is definitely my love language.

It’s so easy during this time of year to get caught up in the busyness of the season. Buying presents, sending out cards, Christmas parties, holiday baking…… I’ll admit, I sometimes find myself getting sucked into all of it as well. This year, since I was relying on everyone else for rides to get presents, I was getting really starting to get stressed out that it all wouldn’t get done. In the craziness, I had to step back and remember what the TRUE meaning of the season is. Sure, it’s fun to take part of the hustle and bustle, but really this season is so much more than this.

TREASURE the precious moments you have with your loved ones and friends. I know that this year has been financially tough on many- DON’T stress about the presents. Those who are around you {who truly care about you} don’t want things, they want quality time and moments to create memories. How do I know? Every loved one around me has said these words to me.

Tomorrow I’ll be posting a list of some special things you can do {with young and old} to create memories. They won’t necessarily be things just for the Christmas season- there will be things that can be done throughout the year as well.

I’m hoping each of you will join me tomorrow- you can help list items that I missed! :) I hope you all are enjoying this special holiday season this year. So glad you decided to spend a little bit of time with me today!
