Guestbook on my blog........

I just added a guestbook to my Blog page.....I am becoming so internet savvy (actually not true, the electronic world is becoming more push-button)! Anyway, please go to my blog, page down to the bottom and sign my guestbook - fun times!

It has rained here since Wednesday and it is supposed to rain through next week. Blah! One of my friends posted a comment on Facebook stating that "we had moved to Seattle and no one told us".......we just do not get this much rain here. It smells moldy outside, ewwie!

Til later,

Toni

Tuesday already.....

These long weekends really mess me up. It is already Tuesday and the week will go really fast. I can't do much stamping this week as I need to get some things done for my hubby's consulting business, but I did get a card done yesterday afternoon. It was my first attempt at a vintage look and I really enjoyed putting it together! I got the basic idea off of Splitcoaststampers but added A LOT of my own touches - each element of the card has something extra done to it......it was FUN!

Well back to working on hubby's stuff - oh yeah, and getting ready for the "True Blood" season finale.......planning an awesome meal and some special decorations for the party!!


Have a great week!

Happy Labor Day!

I hope everyone is having a very relaxing day! John is off playing golf and I am stamping and getting ready to go shopping. I have started reading the "Sookie Stackhouse" series and I am having trouble resisting sitting and reading all afternoon. We took a walk before he left to golf and it is just too hot outside to do anything in the yard! I know my Michigan friends and family are going to enjoy the end of summer heat this week, but those of us in the south are sorry that our cool weather has left for a while......

I just finished another card stamped from my new Clear Dollar Stamps and I wanted to get it posted while I had a few minutes......it is a Thank You type of card with a cute birdhouse theme and message. I hope you enjoy it!

Have a great remainder of your holiday weekend!

Quick Card on Saturday AM


Just finished putting together a quick card before going out to mow the lawn. I put it together while I watched Taylor's college volleyball game on LiveStats. They lost in 4 (boo!) and Taylor did not have a good morning! They will do better this afternoon.....

The card is made using one of my new Clear Dollar Stamps and was cased off of SplitCoastStampers.com. It was done by Kokirose.....

Have a great day!

Candy Bar Greetings







I had a very productive day finishing 10 different candy bar greetings (4 of each for a total of 40 bars, yes I am tired). They will go in Heart and Hands tomorrow. Heart and Hands is the adorable gift shop that my products are in on Main Street in historic downtown Franklin, Tennessee.

Each candy bar has a different greeting and I have put pictures of a few on the blog tonight. Your are welcome to use my ideas if you stamp but PLEASE do not sell them if you copy. Personal use is fine.....


I will put a link to the Heart and Hands website in My Links tonight. Please visit the site. The girls have worked very hard on it and in fact it was just updated this week. It is lovely. If you have questions about any of the stamps or papers on the candy bars just let me know.......

My First Blog, ever......

Well I am not sure why I feel compelled to blog but I do........hopefully this blogspot will become a way for me to share my arts with my friends and family without boring my less intimate friendships on Facebook with all that I do. You will be able to come here if you REALLY want to know more - but not in a creepy way - haha! I think I will start by sharing a link to a friends new business (gotta support us work from home, creative type girls). Her website is not complete and the first page is still an edit type page so just blast through it and go to her home page. She makes great dog goodies and dog food........I make my own also but you can't buy it (made a huge batch tonight and put it the freezer), so check out her site and I wish Jennifer good luck! Just go to my links and enjoy.........
