Part 3 of CHA Thoughts
In addition to hanging out with our very own Jennifer Perkins over at the Duncan booth at CHA, I was geeked about some new things Duncan had hanging there on the wall….Crafty Chica was in the house! For many scrapbookers, Kathy Cano-Murillo may not be one of those immediately recognizable names [...]

Emboss the Plastic

Every once in a while you get to stumble upon something just plain cool and right then, all of the sudden, the whole world transforms into a playground full of possibility! So, I happened on some nifty little tags Alexandra made and well, I was smitten. I thought about water bottles, all those credit cards [...]

Beau Jardin Double Take

What are the odds that two companies have new lines coming out at Summer CHA with the same name….it’s like walking down the red carpet at a movie premier and standing next to someone wearing the same dress? Yikes! Apparently, creative minds think alike…..
I received an email giving me the heads up on a new [...]

Spinning Yarns

The crafting industry is catching on to the fact that most crafters are not loyal to one art form or another. Oftentimes, our “other” passions make their way into our scrapbooking lay-outs….sewing, fabrics, fibers, stamping, beading, mixed media collage and altered arts. Scrapbooking is about your voice and how you tell the story rather than [...]

Pursuit is a great word. Will Smith in the Pursuit of Happyness had a wonderful quote ….
“It was right then that I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence and the part about our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I remember thinking how did he know to [...]

What is a “stay”cation you might ask…..well, given the hike in gas prices, it may be a term many of us will become more familiar with…. A vacation in your own backyard.
One of my friends, Julie Ann Shahin, is hosting a wonderful Blogshop designed to inspire and give you something fun to do for the [...]

One of the reasons I find Scrapbooking in it’s many forms so fascinating, is the fact that people are just so unique and their views and stories are amazingly diverse and special.

Photocropology

Photocropology sounds like the study of something unmentionable….it isn’t, I just made it up (at least nothing showed up when I Googled it a minute ago…. so, you heard it here first folks). It’s the science of cropping a picture for your scrapbooking project. You keep the photo and get rid of the “crop”….you know, [...]

Designers are the unsung heroes in the crafting industry. To borrow a term Walt Disney used, they are the “imagineers”. I figured you’d like to meet some of the folks behind the scenes that drive the scrapbooking industry and feed your muse with their amazing creativity. Brenda Pinnick is one of those creative folks who [...]

Gutters
June 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Here in Michigan, if one does not clean one’s gutters, not only will all the water get trapped, you will have interesting things grow in them and wick up under your shingles if you are not careful. Why is my mind on gutters (better than being in them I suppose)….because there, in the gutters, stagnant [...]
