A happy-sort-of-busy lately....much to share...
A mini-post for you right now and then a wonderful Papertrey Ink group post coming for you at midnight....I'm excited to share my project with you very soon.
A few things I've been busily working on:
A birthday calender book for someone special...hope she likes it.
I used Crafty Secrets vintage images throughout this along with lots of Jenni Bowlin products...vintage trims, buttons, etc.
A few treats for Emma's Paperie this week:
These were such fun to make....perfect for birthday celebrations...even as "just because" treats. All of the supplies I used on these can be found HERE.
Also...
Working on a new card kit for The Scrappy Gourmet.
Finished up staining twill tape and now packaging it up pretty to sell at Frost it Pink. (I'll be sure to let you know when it goes on sale...maybe I'll even post a peek at its loveliness.)
Getting ready for Papertrey Ink new releases.
And...off to make homemade pizza tonight....my fave.
Come back later for the Papertrey Ink group post and my recipes for Orange Julius and Homemade Oreos with Chocolate Cream Cheese filling.

She's going to love the birthday calendar. It's gorgeous!

I'm positively swooning over your chic little Birthday Calendar. My goodness it looks like a great deal of love (and work) went into it. A true work of art. I'm certain the lucky recipient will simply melt when she receives such a gift. Thank you for the link to Frost it Pink. I look forward to purchasing some of your tea stained twill when it becomes available! {hugs}

Melissa, I LOVE to make homemade pizza pie! My hubby and I make it together, and I look so forward to it. I don't know what it is about it, but it makes me so happy. I totally love all of your projects, but the tags you made for Emma's are absolutely wonderful!! I'm so inspired to get crafty....too bad I have to wait until I'm done working for the day. Hope you have a lovely day!

I just wanted to tell you that I look at your blog almost everyday. I am a little lazy about leaving comments. I am lazy about the comments since I look at my favorite blogs after a full day of work, walking the dog and making dinner. It is my little time to myself. I LOVE ALL of your cards. Your style is so great, and something that I can not create. I really appreciate you sharing all your beautful cards and ideas! Even though I do need leave comments, in my little head I think how beautful they are!!!!
