Aloha, all! Once again it's Saturday and time for the Create with Connie and Mary Spring Edition weekly challenge. This week, our challenge is to make and show off a treat holder. What fun!

A Touch of Vintage!
Aloha, all! Most of you know that "vintage" is not really my strength when it comes to greeting cards. Scrapbook pages, maybe. But my brain has trouble wrapping itself around taking beautiful papers and making them look old. So when Stampin' Up! comes up with some papers that are basically vintage in their style, I can do a bit better with … [Read more...] about A Touch of Vintage!
Fun with a Color Challenge!
Aloha, all! Oh, no! Another color challenge! Create with Connie and Mary has another color challenge for those of us participating as designers in their Occasions Edition. You have to know that color challenges in which I am required to participate are my worst fear. It's like the feat that I had as a kid, worried about coming home with an … [Read more...] about Fun with a Color Challenge!
Starting to Feel Alive Again!
Aloha, all! Have you noticed a distinct lack of activity around Robin's Craft Room this week? So has my dog, who has been able to lie anywhere he likes in there without my tripping over him several times an hour. Yes, I was slammed to the ground by a nasty virus, and I'm wondering if it's ever going to give up! There was a … [Read more...] about Starting to Feel Alive Again!

While … [Read more...] about One of a Kind Flowers!

She is such the little lady now, and I just know that she'll love all the fun stuff from the Stampin' Up! 2012 Sale-a-bration Catalog! I can remember being so excited when … [Read more...] about Happy Birthday, Morgan!
Bringing Back Memories
Aloha, all! Do you ever start a crafting project and find that making it takes you back to something in your childhood? That's what happened to me with this card, and I thought I'd quickly take you through a few of those memories. A good part of my childhood was spent at the home of my aunt who was also my Godmother. Aunt … [Read more...] about Bringing Back Memories
The Start of a Busy Week!
Aloha, all! Well, this is the week I've been working towards since before Christmas - the week when I have to have my first Create With Connie and Mary Occasions Edition projects done AND my sister-in-law and her husband are coming for a 10-day visit. Can you imagine all the different directions my mind will be traveling this week?! For … [Read more...] about The Start of a Busy Week!
A Sketch Saved the Day!
Aloha, all! I'm hostessing my last Christmas Card making class today and last night realized that I definitely needed a card for a younger person. So I pulled out Forest Festivities, with the cute little animals, and was stopped dead in my tracks. It was late and I couldn't figure out what to do with it! Create With … [Read more...] about A Sketch Saved the Day!
