IDEA / TIP DESIGN RULER IS A MUST HAVE TOOL

IDEA / TIP ROCK CANDY

Of course Precious Treasures carries these!!!


IDEA / TIP PAINTBALL SCRAPBOOK PAGE IDEA

My friend Jackie will love this as her son and hubby both do Paintball. We have several papers in the store for paintball but this is a vreative idea to make your own paper. I love it and cannot wait to go try it. Would be great for remodelling pages too.

IDEA / TIP PAINT DABBERS

Another great video from my favorite teacher! Precious Treasures carries the full line of paint dabbers. These are HIGHLY pigmented so you dont need multiple coats and work excellent on chipboard. One of my favorite items!!!


IDEA / TIP IF YOU MAKE CARDS A SCORE PAL IS A MUST!

IDEA/TIP MORE IDEAS FOR PERFECT PEARLS





IDEA/TIP MAKING YOUR OWN SHIMMER SPRAY

I see many places are having classes on this now and you do not need a whole class, just a quick tip from my favorite guy. We carry the whole line of perfect pearls and as always the best price on them. I like adirondack inks when making the mists as they are by the same company as the distressed and more colors and bigger bottles.

STILL SICK

Thank you for ALL the emails and well wishes. I am still sick and Trevor took me in yesterday as I could not get my asthma under control from being sick. Please keep praying as that is the only thing that will help. The hospitals are full right now which I urge all of you to get the swine flu vaccine.

THE ANIMALS LIKE EVERYONE HOME

The animals are thrilled with everyone home. Gumby the goat has been inside cuddling and cries if he has to go outside. I can see this is going to be a problem. LOL At least he is a tiny goat. Daisy just crawls up with whoever is laying down and goes back to sleep. LOL








H1N1

I had to go to the doctor yesterday as my flu has gone into my chest and I am now fighting pneumonia on top of the h1n1. Three kids home sick....calgon take me away. The doctors office was scary as it was packed with people and everyone was masked. They need to get the vaccine for everyone. They did not have the regular flu or the h1n1 available at the doctor. How does that happen?

NOTE: We are germaphobic at the store and have been disinfecting everything constantly. And yes, Kaela has banned me from there until I am well.

SURGERY WENT WELL


Love how Paula took a slide and made it vintage.



Surgery went well, I have the second part of it on the 21st. I did go back to work yesterday but sat as Vicki and the girls were all coming to the store for the monthly get together and it was Vicki's birthday so I had to be there. I took today off as I had to go back to the hospital for an ultrasound so I am resting it today. :)

Click here for the pictures Vick took yesterday at the store. http://vickichrisman.blogspot.com/2009/10/bc-creative-expo-and-fun-stuff-from.html


I will be at the store tomorrow. We have another birthday party so I want to see the group. We have birthday parties about every weekend any more and I love seeing all the girls get dressed up and doing the diva parade! They are adorable!

HARD AT WORK AT THE STORE



The basement will need a lot of work but a chandelier is always a good start!

I am getting so anxious to get the crop room done. We got a flat screen TV for it yesterday and got it hung. We are getting close on getting the area cleared in the store to add the opening for the basement stairs. Once we get that done all the cabinets etc are coming out of the crop room to allow for more room in there. (I can't wait)






Remember the "Dawn" dolls?



Ugh look at those ugly bins! All going to the basement soon.

COME TAKE THE GAMEBOARD CLASS!!
