When somethings cold, let me put a little fire on it

As I sit and try to type out this blog post my kids are fighting. Constant. I need to make myself a referee shirt. Sheesh! Anyway stuff to share. After all that's what a blog is for right? Sharing. Reminds me of show and tell as a kid. *wink*

The new ATC prompt is up at Simply Artistic. I have to tell you I wasn't much of a ATC fan in the beginning of this little adventure. Doing these prompts has made me love them a little more each time. They are so easy to whip up and so very cute. Wouldn't you agree? Come and play and be inspired! (*used the April AMM kit*)

Kept forgetting to post my flea market finds from a few weekends ago.I finally remembered. The books were .25 each. Awesome deal. The little milk glass dish= 1.00.Love it to bits.
These glass door knobs were 2 for 7.00. That was the most I have ever spent at the Flea market for something vintage BUT they are at least 10 each in a antique store so I got a really good deal. I am going to use them as curtain tie backs.


& lastly I made these strawberry shortcups for work last weekend. They had a potluck and I wanted to show off my baking skillz.I got the recipe off Martha Stewart. I wasn't really impressed with them at first. I felt they were missing something.
So I added my own special spin on them. I cut a small circle out of the top and filled it with homemade strawberry puree. This of course is why I call them Strawberry shortcups. They were delish. Sweet. Perfect.

Next on my Cupcake list...Nutella cupcakes. YUM.

Or when the crazies say he hates us

My lovely friend Kerry Lynn shared a video. It inspired me so much. The woman said to get your hands moving and create at least 15 mins a day. Now she was talking about drawing but I made it fit my creativity and figured it meant the same thing. I love creating. It helps me de-stress from work.

I have ended up making a few things.


I made this one last night and I think it took me all of 20 mins. This is my hubby taking a picture of me taking a pic of him. Ha! We love taking pics with our phones.


This one was for the Lily Bee design challenge. My mommy in Columbia teaching the kids the olden ways. We had so much fun.

One more thing. I have a tutorial on the AMM blog. If you want to make a peep inspired paper garland then go check it out. :)



So my advice to you all is create at least 15 mins a day. Set that aside. I mean 15 minutes?!? Don't get frustrated if you don't finish. Set a timer for that small 15 mins, if you must, and go back to it tmw when it goes off. Try it for a week. Practice makes perfect. Don't forget creativity soothes the soul. :)
