Get a Cute Background

Need to spruce up your desktop/laptop background? You can go here for a few ideas. Here are a few that grabbed my fancy.





As a previous teacher I really love this one because it looks like a bulletin board...



but I choose this one as my current background. It's titled,

"Where are the Babies?"

Cute, huh? :)

I'm in LOVE

I'm sooo enamored with Plasterdoll but I think I've found a new love.

Or a least an additional one.

I absolutely love the designs and colors LaurenAlexander uses in her paintings!!

I'm no art critic but these painting speak to me.  

I love the use of simple shapes

and rounded lines

and the COLORS..oh, the COLORS.  

Just beautiful.  And I love them.

I'm definately purchases several of her prints in the near future.  Off to daydream......... 

New Purchase

So, even though I've entered the giveaway contest over at Vanilla Joy , I've been looking online at the products included in the Ultimate Crafter's Companion.  

I saw the Enveloper on Amazon for under 14 dollars so I added it to  my cart thinking I might purchase it sometime.  

And then I clicked the "1 Click" button not thinking it would instantly send my order through. Well, Bada Bing Bada Boom.....I've got an Enveloper! (Eeek- I didn't see shipping costs -$7.89!)  

Oh well, guess I'll be making lots of cute envelopes soon!  Keep me bookmarked if you're in the market for envelopes of all sizes!  

Pretty Darn Cool Giveaway

For all you crafters who love to create with paper...head on over to the Vanilla Joy blog and enter to win the Ultimate Crafter’s Companion. (yeah...I've entered like 4 times)

It's a great tool that makes it easy to make all different sized cards, envelopes, and enveloboxes, trim, and embellish/emboss.

It looks pretty amazing and fun to use!  Good Luck!
