The "Hip" Bone's Connected To...

Get it? HIP! Lol. I know.

I'm hilarious. It's been a nice lazy sick day spent mostly at home. I picked up some amazing Human Skeleton wrapping paper a few weeks ago and today I turned it into sets of cards and envelopes!

 Hopefully I'll get them all finished and in the Shop before this weekend. I LOVE holiday weekends!

Remember LAURA?!

She is that Awesome chick I told you about who writes Please Deliver To?  The one who I was blog stalking because of her general awesomeness and hilarity?  (Hello she put the Enterprise on an ENVELOPE! How cool is that?!)  Well she just opened up her first ever Etsy Shop!

It is chock full of amazing and unique envelopes for all of your quirky mailing needs...  So what are you waiting for?  Go check it out!

Yayee for MAIL!!!

I LOVE Gloomy Weather

I am soooo excited for this week!!! I love extra days off from my day job to spend with the family.

We always drive down to San Diego for Thanksgiving and it is so fun! It's always whirl wind trip. Down and back in one day. It's exhausting but very emotionally satisfying.

Is it weird that I like to be stuck in a car for three hours at a time with my loved ones?! We always have such great conversations.

My favorite thing about Thanksgiving is getting together with the family and chatting and helping out in the kitchen.

I especially love taking photos of the family and spending time catching up.

What are your favorite holiday traditions?

Outgoing!!!

Just some Twi mail going out this early Fall morning. I sure hope that even though this is the last movie and all of the books have been written that we continue these exchanges! Regular mail exchanges are OH SO FUN!!

Ps I promise a mute interesting blog post later!!! Nikon J1 anyone?

Christmas Had Come Early!

OK I am just so happy with how these four little memory keepers came out!!!  Here are pictures of the covers of the four new little Christmas Journals that are now in the SHOP!

Reindeers and Santa and Candy Canes Oh My!

See where I've been? In a Winter Wonderland!!! I've been busy putting together four little Xmas Hybrid Journals for the Shop! Or just for me. Haha.

They are turning out wonderfully!!! They're a mixture of classic Christmas aesthetics and the newer modern holiday jazz. They pretty much follow my standard practice. They have about 20 pages so 40 front and back. Some envelopes for tucking away goodies. Lightweight chip board covers. I can't wait to decorate the covers! It's my favorite part.

What's everyone else busy making in anticipation for the holiday season?!

Networking and Christmas

First of all. It is 90 degrees here in southern CA!!! Doesn't Mother Nature know its November?! Who says Global Warming isn't real...

I want to make Winter Wonderland Christmas themed smashbooks, journal hybrids for my Shop. But is there any point? Lately I feel like I'm just going to end up with a room filled with pretty paper goodies that no one wants... Very sad.

This leads me to networking. How in the heck can I get better at it? I really truly admire those women and favorite Bloggers of mine that are lucky enough to work from home and make a living doing what they enjoy so much. I sure wish I could figure out how to do it for myself!!!

Oh we'll. I guess I'll just keep writing this blog and making crafty fun for myself. La. Di. Da. Cheers!
