M&M Update

 Our trip to the vet was nervous.  After a general check up, and bloodwork, the vet couldn't find any thing seriously wrong.  She does need her teeth cleaned, which we knew, but no real reason why she laid in front of our space heater two days in a row.  She's 11 years old so we definitely panic when she's not herself.  

It's a snowy, stay in day, here in the Ozarks.  The roads have been plowed once and snow in our area is rare. 

I'll try to get some new cards posted in the next couple of days.  Thank you for understanding my cancellation.

Happy Crafting,

Class Cancelled

Today's class is cancelled.  I'm taking my little M&M to the vet.  She's been acting funny the last two days.  Please pray it is not time to cross the rainbow bridge!

Remember, I also have this class scheduled for the 22nd of January, weather permitting.  Same time, 12:30 pm, so everyone gets done and home before dark.

Happy Crafting,

Love & Strength

Love & Strength - who doesn't need this encouragement?  Today's card is the last of the three cards for my card class on January 9th and 22nd at 12:30 pm at my home.  Again, weather permitting.  

I'm using the Love & Strength stamp set for this card.  I love the sentiments in this set.  We're using "it's okay if all you did was breathe."  Some days, that's all we can do.

I hope you can come make cards with me.  If my dates/times don't work for you, please contact me with what works for you!  I'm retired and make cards and crafts to relieve my stress.  

Happy Crafting,

Bee My Valentine

Today's share is the second card we will be making in my card class scheduled for January 9th at 12:30 at my home.  I've added a second class, January 22 at 12:30 so if you cannot make the first one perhaps the second date will work for you.

I'm using the Bee My Valentine stamp set and punch for this card.  I also pulled in some of the Be Mine coordinating designer series papers to complement the card.  

Again, the inside sentiment will be your choice when you attend class!

I hope you can make one of these two dates to create your own special cards.

Happy Crafting,

Latte Love

Since it is cold and icy out, I stayed in to make cards for my upcoming class.  Weather permitting, January 9th at 12:30 pm, in my home.  I hope you can join me!

I used the coordinating designer series papers to be the focal point of this card.  The dies that coordinate with the stamp set, Latte Love, cut out the coffee cups on the paper!  

I did leave the inside blank so you can choose which phrase you would like to add!

January Card Class

I am going to schedule a card class for Jan 9th at 12:30 pm, weather permitting.  We will be making 3 cards - one will be a Valentine card which you can change out if you want.  

We will be using one of these sets for sure.

I will try to post pictures of the cards before Jan 9th!

Happy Crafting,

Collecting Beautiful Moments Class

I have scheduled the Collecting Beautiful Moments Scrapbook class for this Saturday, Jan 4th at 1 pm.  I posted this to Facebook and realized I didn't post here!  Here is the scrapbook.

If you would like to make this scrapbook, but this weekend doesn't work for you, please contact me at desireescraftroom@suddenlink.net so we can schedule a class that fits your availability.  

I prefer to do daytime classes and have you safely out of here to get home before dark.  I do weekends and week day classes.

Happy Crafting!

Collecting Beautiful Moments

As I was cleaning up my craft room, I found four more kits for the Exploding Scrapbook.  I'm offering this class for $15.  All supplies are cut and you will guided through assembly.  These are great for sisters, best friends, granddaughters, etc. 

This is 4 x 4 with a belly band that slides off.  

There are lots of room for embellishments, photos, and journaling.  

Class is scheduled for January 4th at 1 pm.  Please let me know if you plan on attending.

New Stampin' Up! Catalog -- Started in May

I know it's been a while since posting.  Now that I have my pain is somewhat under control, I feel I can get back to crafting and posting.  Our new 24-25 Annual catalog went live in May.  I will add a link to my blog home page for you to download or just to browse through on your device. 

Our new catalog has lots of great ideas in it.  You will want to get your copy as soon as you can.  If you don't have a catalog and want a hard copy, please let me know.  I'll get one in the mail to you! 

Some things that I like about our new catalog are the new In-Colors.  Stampin' Up! included a color wheel in the catalog and will be offering this for sale in the near future!  There are lots of sketches to help get your creativity juices flowing as well!

I have lots of "scraps" if you want to come over and play with me. . . right now I'm cleaning out the old and making room for the new.  I have stamp sets, bundles, etc., for sale that I've put on my Facebook Desiree's Craftroom page.  

Here's a card I made up yesterday using scraps on my crafting (dining room) table.  Pieces were already cut so I started putting them together.  Let me know what you think!

Happy Crafting,

Desiree'

Here's one of three cards we'll be making.

I hope you will be able to attend!
