Yummy all natural body scrub I made for co-workers for Customer Service Week

Don't you just love Pintrest?!? I know i get a lot of ideas and inspiration. Today I am sharing my version of mini heat packs. Can be warmed and put in pockets or put in the freezer and on the eyes for a headache. These are going to be finding their way in to stockings in different materials :)

Halloween Treat tins

I want to make sure to give creative credit to Kimberly at My Craft Spot for the original idea, please visit her site to see the originals. Here is my version. Tin is Pirouline container from the dollar store, paper is Martha Stewart, tag on the top is "Stamps for life".

Hello Everyone! Had to whip up a quick card and add some Trendy Twine.

Trendy Twine Order arrived

I received by sampler orders of Trendy Twine....Cant wait to whip up a couple of cute cards !

Just working on a couple of cards....my first embossing.

After a long time, well over a year. I finally bought myself a Sizzix Big Kick for die cutting and embossing. Such a great compliment to my Cricut. :)

Here is my grandsons journal:

Over three years ago i started journaling to my unborn grandchild. It was how i dealt with the excitement and the reality that i was going to be a Grandparent. It has since developed into a way to document our visits fun times together.  Now our grandson has arrived i am working on his jounal. Here are hers. I will add his when i am finished.

Welcome Jackson! we've been waiting for you!

I finished the "Jackson" banner for the shower.

My daughter did an amazing job on the cake/cupcakes for her sister in laws and brothers baby shower.

Going to use these owls on a banner for the newest addition to our family, Jackson Andrew Stachowiak. Will be a great banner for the baby shower!

Completely enjoyed the CKC in Portland Oregon. I joined the SEI card club, I purchased wonderful products like brush-able glue to use with ultra fine semi translucent glitter by Sparkle n Sparkle (seen in the video)

I have been awarded the Liebster blog award

I am thrilled to announce that I have been awarded the Liebster Award by Wandy @ http://applescrapperblogspot.com   Thank you so very much! I am new and clueless as far as blogging goes. So excited to have received this award!

Here is a little information on the award:
"Liebster" is German for "Dearest". The award is a "Share the love arrangement", given to inspirational bloggers with less that 200 followers. I am new to blogs and am finding so much inspiration. Blog hopping is my new favorite thing. Someday I will feel comfortable enough to join a challenge. I started blogging last year and I am still getting the hang of it.

I can’t wait to share the love! ♥♥♥

Snow-less in Aloha

The sky spit a few flakes but nothing stuck.  I hope we are done with snow and can move on to flowers blooming!

Snow! one last winter blast

Father winter is going out with one more frosty blast!  We are supposed to get snow down to the valley floor. We will see.  Its not supposed to last long.  What better reason to gather up my projects and work on them.
Spring is just around the corner :)

One more for tonight...

Crafting the evening away....

Love is in the air...
