i've been featured!!!!

things have been a little quiet in the craft room lately -- i injured my back last week, and have been slowly healing.  but i'm on the road to recovery and should be back up and running again soon --

something exciting i want to share with you --- i received an email last week telling me i had been featured on a blog!  how cool is that --here is the blog:


Pixel Berry Pie Designs Blog


stop by and check it out!  she has lots of cool things featured, and if you are an etsy seller, you can add a link to your shop for some free advertising.

so -- here is the item she featured from my shop  - tumbled tile coasters.


have you ever stamped on tiles?  it takes a little practice, but it's alot of fun.  you want to use stazon ink - or if you need to use a marker, something like a sharpie.  it needs to be something permanent so as not to bleed when you use them -- yes, use them! :)

some people seal the coaster with an acrylic spray -- i don't like to do that.  i like them to be absorbent.  the image will stay for a long time - don't worry.

they are not dishwasher safe, but can be wiped with a damp cloth.

this set of 2 uses the SU set - because i care, and a stamp i picked up in michaels for the background.  i used timber brown, royal purple, and olive green stazon ink.

i also but some felt on the back of the tile so it doesn't scratch any surfaces.

thanks for stopping by!  happy stamping!

be sure to stop by the blog i listed above - lots of cool stuff to check out!

mission clean up and organization ---

thanks for stopping by ---

there may be a bit of a lull in the action around here - i've decided it's time to clean up and organize the craft room.  wow -- what a mess, how can anyone be creative in there!

the one good thing - i'm finding fun things i didn't even know i had!!!  hehe --
i spent 3 hours yesterday sorting and organizing -- about an hour of that was just on ribbon alone.  my dad built me these awesome racks ----


the rack on the left holds spools of ribbon, and the one on the right holds punches -- it also has a little drawer for smaller ones.  so -- yesterday, i got those filled up - all the ribbon is untangled, and out of the drawer i had them in -- freeing up space for other goodies.

i'm thinking about having him build me a unit to hold my papers and one for my ink pads.

so -- i'll be back in a few days with some new projects.  i've been finding things for projects that i wanted to do -- stuck them away and didn't get to them --- good news for you!  lots of fun new projects to check out -- lots of 3-D things too!   :)

so -- as soon as i find the craft table again there will be things back up and running.

happy stamping! :)
