My First Business Project

Happy Monday Everyone:
Remember a few weeks ago, I was sitting on the porch???? Forget that now. It's freezing!
I'm excited to share a stamp I made for a small business in Folsom, Ca. The shop is a really cool ladies boutique and if you get a chance to stop by, you won't be disappointed. Here's their website.... Kissed Good Buy . It was a surprise gift for the owners so I had a heck of a time trying to find the font they used for their logo. But it was fun, they loved it and commissioned me for some other stamps and my first stencil. I'm going to use the stencil to etch shot glasses with their logos. I'll share that when it's done. Here's the pics and I am so grateful to all of you for supporting  me. I'm having so much fun with the stamp maker.

Happy Spring! (Sort Of)

Good Morning Everyone!
As you can see, I had my #1 fan
 with me the whole time. Scout LOVES
 everything I make.

I wanted to share what I did yesterday. I had a bit of a free day. Well, really I should have been cleaning house but what the H, it's not going anywhere. The weather was so beautiful, I thought I'd drag a little table on the porch and do a little V-day stuff. Here's my work station....... I needed a little sunshine so I sat out there and crafted away. It was so warm, I started with a sweatshirt on and that didn't last long. Finally had to bring out the sunglasses. Try sunin' and scrappin' (I just made that up!) sometime, it's really relaxing. OH....... and the project I made will be out this week!
