From glen to glen, and down the mountain side


Happy St. Patricks Day everyone! Are you wearing green? If not give yourself a little pinch from me hehe. Hello to all the blog hoppers so lovely to see your comments! I hope you get lucky and win the 150.00 worth of PSA product!

What do you have planned today? Did you make anything crafty? Decorate your house? I don't usually decorate to much for St. Patty's day but I think I am going to start doing that more...IF I can find the time.


I made this little shamrock "plant" for someone special. I plan to put in the card "I am lucky to have you for a friend". Very easy to make.

Used a Psa stamp for the middle of the shamrock and all the paper is from the March AMM kit.Very simple to make and a cute gift. Wouldn't you say?

Today I am going to be making Corned beef and cabbage for the kids. I never have made it but my mom use to make it or us. Tasty. I think the kids will get a big kick out of it.
YUM!

Lastly hubby bought me some green chrysanthemums. I put them in my fav little milk glass pot.
I love them.

Your next stop on your blog st patty's journey is...

Take all the courage you have left

I have some super happy news to share. Seriously so freakin happy. I was practically jumping up and down when I got the call. The person on the other end made my month, maybe even year. Are you wondering what could be so exciting? Ok I will spill it.

I am now the proud member of the GCD design team!


Are you doing a happy dance for me? I did. Just the brief 10 mins I was on the phone with Heidi made me even happier to be on this team. She is truly a fabulous gal.

I couldn't be happier to work with such a wonderful lady and wicked awesome product. I only apply for things that I truly love and I truly love their lines.

Speaking of truly love I managed to make a few things at the crop I went to on Saturday with the new A Million Memories kit. Met my totally cool friend Kristi there and we talked and scrapped. I actually was productive that day. I worked my little heart out.

This page is based on the sketch that our DT member Wendy came up with. You can play along and win a $10 GC. Check it out.


The paper in the kit reminds me of family history. I thought it was perfect for this picture.



Also made a ATC for the new prompt at Simply ATC.

Come trade with me!

I have one more page in the making and a cute little St. Patty's day project. That will be posted on the 17th. I am a part of a blog hop with PSA. You can win $150.00 worth of product! Make sure to check back on the 17th for more details!

P.S. & tmw is my birthday! Could this week get any better?? ;)

Collecting your jar of hearts

I love making tiny art. It is less intimidating and a great use for all those scraps or papers that you just dont use or need. I save lots of things. I am a hoarder or boarder line hoarder lol! I mean my girl cave looks nothing like those houses you see on tv. LOL! I am sure it could tho if I dont watch myself.

I made this the other day. Just for fun...Just because.




I also made this page using some GCD. I dont know if I like it to much. There is just somthing about it I m not feeling.


I do however love this picutre. I mean who wouldnt love to stand in a patch of tiny daisies.

Pit and Fissure sealants went off without a hitch. I am super stoked I did 4 patients and I did them well. It wasnt to bad. My problem is I have to many feelings. I put myself in the patients situation and I start to feel bad if they have sat there for a while with their mouth open. Then I get nervous...Well you get the picture. Like I said tho everything went well and I am so glad it is over haha!



I have less then 4 days left of school! Can you believe it?! It has went by so fast. I am excited and nervous. I dont feel like I am prepared enough. I guess we shall see right?

Time to play a little. Happy Thursday.

Who do you think you are

I have to say my mantel has sat untouched since I cleared off all the valentines day stuff. I actually have been making pages instead of crafting for the mantel. I DO however have a few ideas. I will be working on those soon.

As I said I have been making pages a lot. Here are a few of those pages.
I made this one for the challenge over at Lilybee designs. Used Domestic Bliss. My crafty space. Why is it after you take a pic you notice things. Like the letters are weird. I fixed them but didnt fix the photo. Just know space is a little closer. *wink*


I also used Domestic bliss for this page. Love Lilybee designs. I only recently discovered them. I was out of the loop for a bit. Me being silly last year at lunch with the hubs.


Used sass Paper Crush. I really love that line. Me and hubby this year on valentines day.

This month is jammed packed with stuff and I have a feeling it is going to go by super fast. I got my extern site. I only have a few more weeks left of school and then I get pushed out of the nest...and work for free for 215 hours! Ha!

I am a little freaked out and I hope it goes well. I also have sealants on saturday. I'm a little nervous. Wish me luck on that one.

I'm setting goals for myself. I really need to be more organized. Stop living by the motto "put off today what I could do tmw." Need a new motto like "get it done early and all will be right with the world." haha!

Do you have a motto? Wanna share it with me? Love to hear it.

I couldnt tell you, but I'm telling you now

Silly me,I totally forgot to share these creations. I made them with the Feb AMM kit last month.
I love spring. I can't wait for it to arrive.


Remember the uhh sketch I "drew" up for AMM? This is my take. The subject of my affection on this page is my beautiful daughter Raven.

I love to share...Or should I say enable? Nah share is a nicer word. Especially when you see what I am about to "share" with you. AMM's kit is up and it is super wicked great.
Wouldn't you agree? I mean look at all the new stuff! Maya Road, My Minds Eye, American crafts. Sooo lovely! Did you notice FULL set of stamps you get with the kit?! I cant wait to get my hands on it.

& it's the 1st of March so that means Simply Artistic has begun again. Our first cards since the break are posted. This is my take on the "concept". I used Sassafras paper crush. I totally have a paper crush on Sass.

Lastly I made a page. Just for me. Just because.

Used Sass paper crush again and vintage fabric I found at my goodwill. ♥

I am nearing the end of my 4 day weekend. I managed to clean the girl cave & mess it up again.


Go on a wonderful bike ride with my hubby to the park.

We packed sandwiches in my basket and drinks. ♥

We did more riding with Aria. I would say we rode about 8 miles total. It was so lovely and sweet. I enjoyed it so very much. Lots more pictures to share of course. How was your weekend?

Her green plastic watering can

Ahh the past few days have been simply lovely. Spring like even. I cant wait for spring. It makes me happy and fills my soul with laughter. Seriously. Sadly it is suppose to rain for 4 days. *insert sniffles*

I took my valentines decorations down. A little sad to see them go. I still would like to make more v-day treats but it is time to move on. Any guesses on what I am moving on to? If you said easter you would be correct! *wink*

I started making easter cards. Tara so kindly agreed to be my permanent swap friend so I had to start thinking of pretty little things to make her. I am so inspired by her. She had these adorable paper cakes on her blog that she made with her daughter. I got the idea of using the same kind of concept but instead making easter eggs.

I used the new Sass Smitten line for this one.



This one I used Sass mix & mend.




Oh and silly me I forgot to post that I wore my DIY sweater for our little v-day party.

& made me a little v-day hair clip.



Last but not least did you know Simply artistic is posting a new challenge March 1st? I have my card already made. Make sure to check them out and we could end up being swap partners! :)

& I'm like forget you

Yesterday was the official day of love. I managed to make 3 Valentines day cards for the kids and my cousin.

For my cousin.

For my daughters

For my sons.

I was so very inspired by the valentines I received from Tara. Truly lovely!


My day was filled with so much love, kisses and hugs but I also got some pretty awesome things.

A new sewing machine.From hubby.
Yay!!!

A bike basket for my bike filled with lovely lovely things.
sock monkey, chocolate covered strawberries, and daffodils oh my!

Seriously beautiful and fun. I truly have the best husband. We are in no way perfect...but I wouldn't have it any other way.

I took my final for this mod. B. Now I have one more mod left and then I go on ex tern. YIKES! Part of me cant wait and another part is a little frightened!

Lastly I will leave you with some cool news. I am now a proud member of the MPTS dt. Anna makes beautiful paper flowers and I get to work with them every month!


Thank you to all the new followers! I am not sure how to get to your blogs so I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to follow it really makes my day to see the nbr grow a little each day! Makes me feel loved. ;)

You are perfect to me

Valentines is just a hop skip away. Sadly I am not running away with the hubby this weekend. I have a final I have to study for all weekend long sooo we are moving our weekend to next. :(

That is ok tho it is just a day right? Right. We can celebrate next weekend.

Sharing with you today the last bit of my valentines decor.

I wanted to do more but I just kind of fizzled out. School has been taking a lot out of me lately. Almost done though.

Remember when I said I actually FINISHED a page when I went on a crop super bowl Sunday...Well here that page is.
It is me and my mama. I just really love this pic. I used Lillybee design paper. I have never used it and I really liked the collection.

This week has been filled with happy mail. I got the Feb AMM kit on Thursday and dug right in. I already finished two projects.
The quote is from Coco Chanel and it says "woman should be 2 things classy and fabulous." I thought it was fitting for this little plaque.

Page of my hubby. Simple. Love that man.

I have lots and lots more to make. I also have a project due for school. Making some foam teeth. Oh joy! LOL! SO not feeling it. Then I have a final to study for and we have a Valentines get together going on at the house today. Time to shut this computer down and get crackin!

Have a wonderful weekend!
