Vicki came in today looking for a new handbag and she was sooooo... confused. She ended up buying two! I am the same way, I LOVE handbags!
We have so many cute handbags and more will be here next week. Stop by as you will be amazed! If you would like to earn a free handbag you can hold your very own purse party right in our crop room or we will come to your home.

IDEA / TIP FOR GRADUATION, CHRISTMAS, BIRTHDAY, WEDDING CARDS ETC.


Just get a huge binder ring (sold at Precious Treasures) punch a hole in the corner of the cards and you can make a cover for them if you want. Then you can add ribbons and now your cards are all kept together and can be hung up on the wall for a dorm decoration in Liz's case.

STILL A FEW SPOTS LEFT IN THE CRICUT CAKE CLASS

Cricut cake decorating class at Precious Treasures! June 12 from 1:30-4pm

How often have you wished you could create the perfect cake to compliment a party, baby shower, or some other fun event? Cake decorating can be a hobby and creative outlet and can help bring joy to special occasions.The first step in using your Cricut (Create, Expressions, or Cake) to decorate beautiful cakes, cupcakes, and cookies with ease.It is safe to use the same Cricut for scrapbooking and cake decorating…you just need a dedicated deep cut blade and housing unit and mat. No food, shortening, or anything else will in any way contaminate your machine. OR…if you are lucky enough to have the Cricut cake, you are all ready to go. For this class, all you need is yourself, and maybe a rolling pin, to learn this new technique.The class is 2 ½ hours, including 1 ½ hours of instruction and 1 hour where you will decorate your own 6 inch cake (provided by me) to really practice the skills taught.Check out ptdiva.com for more information Bonus: First 10 students to sign up get a FREE Cricut Cake embroidered chef’s hat from Precious Treasures. This is a $24.99 value!!! These are not available to buy retail so be the envy of all your friends

A FUNNY FOR YOU

I had to go through scrapbooks to find baby pictures of the twins for the 5th grade graduation video and came across these photo's. TOO FUNNY!!!!



LOVING THE WEATHER


My Hosta's have gone crazy this year!

When I was a kid I loved bleeding hearts as I thought they were the coolest thing God made. LOL



I have been trying to get oriental poppies to grow for over 10 years and you cannot buy the plants anywhere so I keep starting from seed. Well I finally got big beautiful blooms this year! They are my favorite flower.







BABY HATS

I found a new use for Scrapbooking flowers!
Look how cute your little one can look going to graduations and sports events!
You pick the hat and the flower seperately for only $10 for the set.

FUN DAY AT THE FLEA MARKET AT VENICE

My mom watched Ruth today and I got up at 6am and hit the flea market. I needed a break and it was wonderful to get out and get some fresh air and sun! I found lots of goodies! I was on the hunt for carpenters rulers for a class I am trying to get enough supplies for to teach it. I found a wonderful tub of buttons, some old maps and two metal lunch boxes as those are awesome for photo and tool storage. I even have one I use to keep my gypsy in.

I could not resist sneaking a picture of these two adorable little girls! They both were walking around with these hats on all morning and were so cute blowing on the pinwheels to make them spin.
Zacheus loves the flea market and we found a fishing pole there and his favorite thing, KETTLE CORN! I love the orange flowers I bought as they are orange gingham.

It was such a beautiful day for the event


This is my favorite vendor. The ladder in the store window came from her as well as our store sign for the back entrance of the store. Oh that yellow cart Zach is pushing came from her last spring. CUTE STUFF!
Check out Vicki's blog too as she was there and I never even knew it. That shows you how big the flea market is.

A FORTUNE


Another Example of a cake made with the Cricut!

Jessica here.

I am getting ready to leave for a two day Cricut cake decorating class in Natchez, Ms, this afternoon and thought I'd share a cute picture of my niece's first birthday cake before I go.


This cake was made using the Winnie the Pooh cartridges. It perfectly matched her theme, because the invitations, banner, cupcake toppers, and door hanger were also made using the Cricut!

If you'd like to learn how to make adorable cakes like this, using your Cricut, see the calendar at www.ptdiva.com for more information.

**If you don’t have a Cricut Cake but still want to take the class, please do! All you need is a deep cut blade and housing unit and a mat dedicated to cutting gum paste, and you too can make these beautiful cakes with your Cricut, or any electronic cutter!

My first Cricut cake decorating class will only be $50 and include basic gum paste preparations, hands on training, and a 6 inch cake covered in fondant that YOU will decorate, so you can brag to your family and friends about the awesome cake YOU created! Call the store to sign up 402-727-7706

As a BONUS for the first class, the first 10 people to sign up will get a Cricut Cake embroidered chefs hat for free from Precious Treasures. This is a $24.99 value!!! These are not available to buy retail so be the envy of all your friends!**

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY EVERYONE!

I had a great mothers day. I got woken up by lots of presents and flowers. The kids got me bath and body products in a cute flower pot, flowers and new handbag! Then I took my mom and dad and sister along with my family to the art gallery for a mothers day lunch which was so good! Then I went to the chick market for awhile to work and off to a movie with a friend. A perfect day!
