Celebrating Sean Connery
Can you believe it - Sean Connery turns 90 today! I grew up watching him as James Bond and have since enjoyed him in so many other roles. One of my favorite was as the Russian submarine captain (with a pretty bad accent) in The Hunt for Red October - 'give me a ping...
Feelin’ Like Fall
The beginning of last week was really hot and humid and now this week is much cooler. In fact the last couple of mornings have been in the 50's which is a definite shift, and my husband noticed last evening that it was getting darker at 8pm. All signs of Fall that is...
Halloween Plaid
I created this card for the Essex Stamp Club gang. We met virtually back in June (it seems AGES ago), and we'll be meeting virtually again this week. This time around we're focusing on items from the August - December Mini catalog. For this card I pulled out some main...
Mailable Flowers
I've been blessed lately by several people that have placed online orders, so I needed a batch of thank you cards. This morning I got up and immediately started creating several of this card that you see here. I really hope that the recipients really feel how...
Triangles Galore!
I just received the Triangles bundle and I've really been itching to give it a try. For this card I used one of the Stitched Triangles dies to create the pretty wide border on this card. Originally I was also going to stamp on each of the pieces, but I was worried...
Boho Indigo Medley Class
I've just distributed the Snowman Season class kits, and I hope that the class members are having fun with the cute snow dudes. I think that Class-to-Go was pretty successful, so I thought I would try it again with the Boho Indigo Medley. The Medley is admittedly a...
Happy Snow!
Here we are in July, and I'm thinking about snowmen. Things have certainly gotten strange, haven't they?!? Late last night I was inspired to create little 3x3" notecards for the participants in my Snowman Season Class-To-Go. Hopefully soon I will be receiving the...
Thanks Medical Workers
As the pandemic worsens along with the divisions in our country, I want to take a moment to thank all of the medical workers that are my heroes every single day. Thanks to the public health officials! They aren't physically in the front lines, but certainly are in the...
Missing AnnMarie
I am really missing my southern stamping friends these days; today I'm especially missing my friend AnnMarie. This lovely group of ladies welcomed me to their table a few years ago at the OnStage event in Baltimore. I was traveling on my own and they very kindly...
Celebrating Kevin Bacon
I just discovered that today is Kevin Bacon's birthday! I remember a few years ago when "6 degrees of Kevin Bacon" was a fun way of approaching how people are connected to each other. This scenario is especially true in very small Vermont! I am frequently scratching...
