Hear that? No? Me neither! That silence is the sound of my children being back in school today. :-) Now, I feel bad enjoying this silence so much, as my kids are really easy when they are home. They are 9 and as of yesterday 11 (Happy Birthday, Ciara!), so they are completely able to entertain themselves and each other and let me do my thing. But it just isn't the same as when you are alone. Well, actually I have 2 movers coming today to give quotes, so I won't be alone much, but I'll enjoy what I can get!
On to the project... that's why you stopped by, right?
Love it! This is an unusual color combination for me, Mellow Moss, Not Quite Navy, and Barely Banana, so I am excited!
The white layer was run through the Big Shot with my new favorite Big Shot toy, the Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder. I have to restrain myself from using it on every project!
The presents from the new Sale-A-Bration stamp set, Happy Moments, were (of course) stamped in Black Staz On and colored in with my Stampin' Write Markers.
That precious tag was stamped with the Tiny Tags stamp set, new in the Occasions Mini Catalog, and punched with the matching Jewelry Tag Punch. I love this set and punch! The tag was adhered with a Not Quite Navy brad.

Thanks so much to all of you for your nice compliments on my new look for my blog and all of the well wishes for my move. I'm sorry if I've been whining... I really want this blog to only be positive things, a place for me to share my projects and interact with some really nice people who love to craft as much as I do. I'm actually getting excited about the move now!
I drew a name for a goodie pack from all of the comments, and the winner is......Celena! She wrote:
"I just wanted you to know that I love your new blog. I liked it before and I visit everyday (it's on my favorites), but it is super cute now. I think you have a bubbly personality and I love your work. Thank you for the ideas and please keep them coming."
How nice is that? It almost brings tears to my eyes (I'm a little emotional these days. :-) ) Celena, please send me your address and I'll pop a goodie pack in the mail to you!
Have a wonderful day! Enjoy the silence.
Yes, we are making this in Club on Sunday!

Happy (belated) birthday to Ciara. 9 and 11, huh? So I've got a couple years to go before mine (7, 5, and 19 months) are old enough to let me craft to my heart's content. *chuckles*
Digesting today's color combination. I think I like it! My "barometer" is if it's a combo I would wear it generally strikes a chord. That's a nice ensemble. (And just try finding a stamper who isn't using the heck out of that impressions folder!)
