Bottle Cap Necklace

Oh what a day off and a box in the mail can do!  Today proved to be extremely interesting, had a function with the Station Hill Coyotes.  Then had to run into Cool Springs for TJ's appointments and I had a chiropractor appointment, Dr. Hinz makes me feel so much better when I see him.  When I came home what was on my door step you ask......a box from the bottle cap company!  Yeah!  I had ordered these bottle caps and necklaces to make a dear friend of mine her very own Coyotes personalized necklace for her birthday.  Check it out and see what you think.


I have more materials, so if some one is interested in their own custom bottle cap necklace let me know!  I can do about any logo you want!

At Last!

So some of you may remember this card a month or so ago!

I was so excited about this negative image stamp I had picked up, and had big plans for!  Well a month later I finally finished my big plans!  I stamped the image with my versamark and then embossed with white powder and there is sat ready to be colored.......

Slowly I began to color the flowers with copics (R85, R83, R81).  Yes I colored this baby petal by petal.  I would color some get tired of it or busy and walk away.  Today I decided to take a vacation day from work and just hang out give myself some down time.  So when I came to my craft room/office/ guest bedroom, to print off my calendar of things to do for the next 3 months, there it was staring back at me.  Reminding me I had to get it done before mothers day because I intend to make it into a card for my mother.  So, I did it, finished it up!  Here it is tell me what you think!

Close up of the detail (oh the painstaking detail)


Now I can feel accomplished for the day!  Look at this 2 post back to back, see I haven't totally forgotten about my blog!

Sugar Scrub-Yum!



Well I am at it again!  I had to think of a good gift for a co-workers birthday and I have been dieing to try and make a sugar scrub ever since I seen it on the Southern Stamper Blog.  So here is my first attempt, and I love it.  I made it Tangerine scented since it was a fun spring scent.  I made 2 of these super cute jars (which I found at Hobby Lobby (on sale!).  Then Taylor insisted that she help so we made her a batch, however it is just in a zip lock container ;) 

I have been using spray adhesive a bunch lately and this stuff is great at getting it off and leaves my hands feeling so soft.  Taylor and I use it before we shave and it gets all the old dead skin off and you can shave without using shave gel and you are super smooth no cuts, and best of all your not dried out after you shave.  I am going to sell these jars for $8 at a Relay for Life event and donating the money to the organization.  Let me know if you are interested in purchasing a jar.  I also have Jasmine scented scrub.  The ingredients are all natural (nothing fake about this stuff!)
