wow...CHA is upon us...

Now, for you 'non scrapbookers' {ouch that is hard to think there are peeps out there that DON'T scrap}...CHA stands for Craft & Hobby Association shows.  I haven't been too into seeing what all is coming out as the economy has my up-most attention right now but a few of my FAV-O-RITE manufacturers have some fun things going on with their sites and PAPER TRUNK is one of 'em.


Go visit them to check out the yummy-goodness they are giving away!!!

love me some february!

i guess with my anniversary and valentines wrapped into one i feel more warm and fuzzy inside this month! :) i was lounging in bed with my scrappy mags and these two ideas came to me this evening so i jumped up and whipped them up. lol  i had been thinking of ideas for my son to take to school for his classmates and his teacher.  of course i will have random embellies on the origami treat holder as i have 18 to make but they will be cute all the same! :)

input needed.

i have been searching for ideas of what my hubby {whom is a woodcraftsman} could make/build while he his off work...due to slow-down/possibly layoff. :(  he isn't one to just sit around and he has already built two ladder style shelving units.  i've browsed Pottery Barn and few other 'hip' furniture places but am at a loss to what people actually might be looking for.


have you bought something recently?  are you currantly looking for a certain style storage type furniture or maybe a mudd bench?  i'm just looking for ideas, i'm not trying to sell anything. :)


i will be sure to share pics soon.  i am staining some things and painting others.  any input would be greatly appreciated!




on another note:  my kiddos have been enjoying the snow we continue to get.  we are under a blizzard watch tonight. joy! lol

 i loved this note that the kids (together) came up with for santa when they left him this treat.


" Thanks for the presents and we all hope you have a good night.  Oh yeah, and we hope you enjoy the cookies and milk." 


it was too cute watching them huddle at the kitchen counter coming up with something "good" to say. ha.


For santa 


wishing all my blog readers a wonderful new year.  i sure am looking forward to one. :)
