Rain or Shine...

Supplies Used:
All available at
Cardstock is PTI...
I swear using this stuff makes a huge difference in my stamped images especially in coloring them
I colored the image in using Martha Stewart markers and a SU Blending Pen
Guess What?
It's snowing again!
I actually ventured out of the house today, I've been doing work from home.
They haven't been letting anyone on the base except for base residents and essential personnel. Good thing I live here!
They opened the Commissary for just a little while and had the SP's there making sure no one got out of hand...
I actually saw fights breaking out over milk!
I took my friend Liz though, and we had fun.
I'm glad I did because the line took over an hour,
so it was nice having someone to chat with.
We were supposed to go shopping together so she could
help me pick out a dress for this big banquet we have coming up...
Well, I'm not getting to the mall in the foreseeable future so I ordered a dress online and we went grocery shopping instead!
Toilet Paper/ Cocktail Dresses
I'm sure you can see the correlation, right?
I love having a truck.
We share a belief that calories don't count when your snowed in.



We Were Here...


Remember when I told you I found a bunch of older paper..?
Well this was part of it
This is some old Dreamstreet paper which I just love
I used to have this thing where I would buy two sets of the same paper
because I hated to cut it up
um...yeah..
I know there's a whole reality series about me

The "PRICELESS" title is from
This set is perfect for Page Titles and
you'll be seeing quite a bit more of this set in the next several days!
AND I have a feeling that they'll probably be on sale today!!!

Journaling Stamp is Unity, Letters are American Crafts Thickers
The picture was taken on a beach of the Potomac River near Piney Point Pier.

You can become a FACEBOOK FAN of

Thanks! We're still buried in snow here, with more headed our way!

Love Gives Us a Fairytale...

I snapped this picture of Britain today while the boys were playing in the snow. I don't get very lucky getting good pictures of him anymore, he usually likes to roll his eyes and make dorky faces whenever I pull out the camera, but I caught him just right this time.


Supplies Used:
Paper is Memory Box

Ever since I got this stamp set I wanted to use that Fairy Stamp,
but I just couldn't seem to make it work with anything.
I'm still not sure I did, but I just love her!
I've been stuck in the house all weekend due to the snow,
but I got a lot of stamping and projects done so I'm pretty excited about that!
I've been rearranging a lot of my crap, so I unearthed
a whole bunch of paper I forgot I had.
So, you'll be seeing a bunch of that in the days to come...

LIMELIGHT CHOCOLATE PROJECT DAY!!

It's LIMELIGHT PROJECT DAY!!
This months focus is Chocolate. Wow, what a chore! LOL!
I found the little jar for .99 at Joann's and filled it with my favorite guilty pleasure (well besides coffee of course)
Chocolate covered pretzels...these don't last long at all at my house...
we're constantly hiding them from each other , we should probably be on an episode of Hoarders.
Anyway back to the project
My Nesties cut out the cute little flower label
Products are available at

Well, I'm a little late getting this up because internet has been so spotty. I have never ever seen this much snow. No really, I know I said that here right around Christmas when we got 24 inches, but we're way past 24 inches, and it's still supposed to snow all day. When I let the dogs out this am, I had to dig a well so I could open the door. They were able to kind of hop on top of it for a couple steps, then they sunk and I couldn't see them at all. Thankfully the fence around the patio kept a small area somewhat clear big enough for them to do their business. The bed of my truck is full up to the roof. I will post some pictures later, but right now the wind is so strong all you can see is white.
I can say we've definitely had a fair dose of togetherness this winter.
I'm starting to feel a little like Jack Nicholson in The Shining.
The first thing I'm doing when I can get out of my driveway again is going tanning.
Well, maybe not the first thing...but it's on my list
Go see what the rest of the chicks are up to:

Memories...


These pictures were taken last summer at the National Harbor. There's this really amazing sculpture there of Neptune, that looks like he's climbing out of the ground.
It's so huge you really can't appreciate it from a photo, you have to be above it to get the whole picture. You can sit in his hand and climb into his mouth it's really awesome!

Supplies Used:
I colored in the stamp using DerWent inktense watercolor pencils
The coolest thing about EAD Designs?...
Emily can pretty much make anything you want out of vinyl!!!
The best thing about EAD Vinyl Rub-ons...?
They rub on to your project like butter and then they actually stay on.
I don't know about you, but as I pull out some of my older layouts I've noticed the rub ons tend to rub off with time...not so with EAD VINYL!!!


Paper and Stamps are from
Mandy has lots of deals going on right now! Scroll down to the post below to check them out, and stop by tomorrow for our monthly project featuring

In the Limelight...


Supplies Used:
(Now on sale for $26 at LIMELIGHT PAPERCRAFTS)

This past week has been full of highs and lows in a way that
I haven't experienced in a long time.
Usually, I just kind of roll on through, but this time
it's really made me think about the difference between
where my life is going and where I'd like it to go.
I can dream all day long,
but if I don't put some action behind it it's never going to happen.
So, I'm going to spend today relaxing with some crafting (which seems to help me get my head on straight), some inspirational and educational reading material, and of course,
a lot of coffee.

I'll keep you posted.
