My day...

Kevyn, Kari and Debbie

loving their finished project

Hi there it's me again! Today I taught my very first "memo board" class at Mystic Paper. Kari, Debbie and Kevyn had such a fun time creating a unique and elegant memo board for their homes. I brought along a lot of extra flowers to brighten it up even more.
My next memo board class will be a vintage "Grandpa's junk drawer theme". If your style is more vintage "junque" stuff this is the perfect class for you.

Have a wonderul Sunday!
Hugs,
Shirley

Happy Wednesday!

Good Morning!
So far today has been very productive. I am working away at cleaning out our third bedroom and making room in my cluttered studio for all of my "stuff" that I have accumalated over the past three years. Does anyone need any cabinet doors or any other free stuff??
My seven year old daughter Allie will be finally getting her own room. She is so excited. Of course everytime she watches the show Trading Spaces Boy verses Girl she has another idea what theme she would like. As of this week she would like Daddy to paint the room pink with big blue polka dots. I wanted to the "Shabby Chic" look but that is not going to happen.
I promised her the room would be ready in May! To Allie this means May 1st. So today I will work on moving out all of those Somerset Magazine's.

Hugs for today!

What's new with me!

How are you? I am doing pretty good! I am so behind with "journaling" so I have "old" news and "new" news to write about.

We had a wonderful Easter Weekend. We attended the Sharing Down Syndrome Easter Egg hunt for the fifth year in a row. Katie bug had such a blast dancing and sitting on the Easter Bunnies lap and Allie always has a great time wherever she goes. She meets lots of new friends. Check out the photo's. I realized that I don't have any photos of my husband on my blog. I found one of him doing what he loves to do with his spare time...fishing!

I will be teaching another class at Mystic Paper on Saturday April 17th 1:00-3:00 ish. We will be making a small size magnetic memo board with an "Elegant" style. You can check it out by clicking "My Class Schedule" below. I do private classes for those of you that have conflicting schedules so email me if you would like more information.

Well it is time for bed! I had a very long weekend.

Hugs,
Shirley

Happy Monday!

Today has been a very lazy day! I started my day at 4:30 am when Katie Bug woke me up by yelling for me. Of course she didn't want to go back to sleep. She wanted to watch ICarly.

It is sometimes hard for me to have these "lazy" days because there is so much for me to be doing. Oh well!

Tuesday is my play date with my good friend Dayl. I met Dayl when she took one of my classes at Mystic Paper. She is the nicest, kindness lady and I am happy to have her at my friend.

I have started a new project idea. I will be making smaller size memo boards out of cabinet doors. I have about 30 of these doors sitting in my garage. The are a perfect size 11x14 for a smaller wall that just needs something unique. plus I could use one for my kitchen.

Well I think that I am getting my second wind. Just in time for the school bus to arrive.

Have a great week!

Hugs,
Shirley

How are you?

Hello again~ Isn't this pretty good? Two new posts in the last two weeks! I am getting better.
I had a wonderful weekend.
Friday evening we went to Allie's "Family Dance". The girls had so much fun. Allie danced with all of her 2nd grade friends while Katie Bug ran around looking for someone to dance with her.
Saturday was my play time. I met my friend Joanne at Paper Vineyard where I soldered. I have been making some solder pieces for my calendars.
Sunday I was a art vendor at the Willow District Home Tour. I got to chat with a lot of really neat people. My booth was across from Cathy Manthey, Classy Critrque. She is very talented and loves vintage art like I do. I also met the owner Leslie Christensen from Frilly Frocks an awesome boutique on 7th Avenue in Phoenix.
Thanks to all of you who stopped by to see my calendars. I really appreciate your feedback!

Have a fun week!
Shirley
