Bahamian flowers

23 Jul

I am a sucker for a deal. That’s why I found myself on a three day cruise to the Bahamas last Friday and not running around like a maniac getting ready for the Craft and Hobby Association’s Summer trade show which is now 6 days away! The cruise was on a converted ferry boat and was $158/person for 3 days. We went with 3 other couples and had basically no expectations. But it was great. We had a day in Nassau which was hot but really interesting. We explored the island a little and rented a jet ski.

So, now I am back… I am so excited to see my new product up in the Sizzix booth after 2 years of working on this. I have been testing the product at home and think people will like it- I hope so, anyway. Our seminar, “Licensing for Project Designers” seems to be under control and I had an email today from a CHA member who had some questions about something she is working on and how to proceed. She is attending the class so hopefully others will join her 🙂 My Designer Showcase display is getting done tonight. In fact I am on a Krylon high as we speak, after spraying my foamboard display pieces. The press kit is coming along too, slowly but surely.
I want to thank Violette for her enthusiam after winning my book, Matboard Magic, on the Inspired at Home radio show last week. I met Violette at CHA a year and a half ago. Her booth was next to ours and she was a lot of fun to talk to and hang around with. She is from Canada and has a new book out- check her web site to see it. I love her studio- it’s painted purple and she has some really cool projects she’s working on. I would love to be able to show you my studio but you would run away screaming! But good job, Violette!
OK, now back to work…

Heidi and the fringe

18 Jul

I told you a while back that my daughter Pam came by and we worked on a project together for her friend. I had found a little “Heidi” Golden Book somewhere in my travels and had to buy it. It was one of my favorite stories growing up. I can still remember the anticipation as a little kid-after we had our baths and gotten ready for bed, it would be time for my sisters and I to hop up on the couch and listen to our mom read to us.

Anyway, Pam happened to see this little book and ask if we could mat the title page and she could give it as a birthday gift to her friend Heidi. I love it anytime my kids (even when they are 25!) ask to work on something with me so we picked some colors out and cut the mat. Upon closer inspection of the book, we saw that the previous owner had taken scissors and snipped the bottom of the first few pages into fringe to make their own version of grass.
Happy Birthday, Heidi!

That would be Candace Jedrovitz! My daughter Maryanne picked a number and you were that number comment!

Thanks so much to all who took the time to listen to the show and leave me your kind comments! I hope you will continue to check in and see what’s new as the summer goes on. It’s easy to subscribe to this blog in a feed (little gold button right under my picture). When I put up a new post, you will be notified. Fun stuff is just around the corner…

Many thanks to Tiffany and the Inspired at Home family, that was a fun time!

Candace, please email me and let me know whether you would like MatBoard Magic or Foamboard Magic and also need your address.

Hi Maria!

14 Jul

There was some discussion of shaker cards on the Inspired at Home show the other night. I had heard of them but never made one. Maria Nerius was asking about the FoamWerks circle cutter. I was telling her that it cuts a perfect 1″- 6″ circle. So here is a card made using the circle cutter. If you click on the photo you can check out the perfect clean edges with no ragged edges or tears. This is one cool gadget. I may have to keep this out and fiddle around with it again…

Inspired at Home was fun!

13 Jul

I just finished my first podcast! It was fun once I got over being terrified 🙂 Tiffany Windsor, the host, is super organized and easy to talk to, along with her sisters Heidi and Candace. Their mom Aleene (inventor of “Tacky” glue) reminds me of my mom.

And I am invited back so I’m thinking that’s a good thing. Thanks to all who took the time to listen, call and chat on the chat line- you know who you are, CG’s.

If you didn’t get to listen but you would like to, the show will be edited and available to listen to. Click on the episode you would like to hear. More info on that later.

Now I am off to make 80 place cards and wedding thank you cards for one of my soon-to-be brides. The fun never stop around here 🙂 Really!
