A SLUMBER PARTY

We had our second slumber party at the store. I just got the report back and they all had a blast! Those young ones can sleep on the floor but us older ones had a hotel room for Friday and Saturday night. Lots of scrapbooking done and very little sleep. Friday night we scrapped until 4am. We are working on the next event so stay tuned as it is coming up VERY soon as soon as get everything booked. I am not even unpacking my scrap stuff. :)

IDEA / TIP TAKE YOUR CRICUT CUTS TO THE NEXT LEVEL

I LOVE to heat emboss. I have really never been a Cricut user as I am lazy and just grab my accucut. But with the Gypsy I am now HOOKED on the Cricut. I used embossing powders on this whole layout. I used two different colors of embossing powders on the letters and love how it came out. The color on the wings and photo mat is a copper verdigris and is stunning. So get out your embossing powders and give it a try. (If you do not have embossing powders, Precious Treasures has a huge selection)

GUMP THE GOAT UPDATE

I get a lot of emails wanting to see how the goat is doing. He is doing great and a lot of fun! He is getting a lot of personality and Daisy has taught him how to beg for me to play with him anf he has taught Daisy how to use her head to push things. LOL

Here is Ruth working on some training with Gump.
Gump LOVES to push things so I stick heavy things in boxes and he pushes them arund the deck. He is so cute!

TIP/IDEA tear bears

For a quick free lesson on how to make tear bear animals just stop by the store and ask me how. :) They are very easy!

THE CHICK MARKET

I have been flooded with emails wanting more information on the chick market now that we are officially "chicks". So today I went in and took pictures of some of the store. It is a huge place as they just doubled in size. They have something for everyone! It is in the strip mall on 180th and Pacific. Check it out! I will be working Sunday so stop by and say hi!

I LOVE SPRAY PAINT!!!

Go green and recycle what you have with spray paint. Spray paint is so much better than it was years ago. There is also spray paint with glitter added which I just love. hee hee. Here are some of my chick market and thrift shop finds I got out today to paint.

Gump our goat thought I was out to play with him when I was painting and kept trying to head butt what I was painting and got pink paint on his ear.lol

Got this at the chick market and going to add jars of ribbon, buttons, flowers etc.

ALTERING A DOLL HOUSE

Stop by Precious Treasures Scrapbook Store to find all kinds of treasures. We have drawers and drawers of embellishments sold by the piece. I had this big wooden doll house and Ruth had outgrown it so I am altering it to use as a book shelf in my craft room. Look around your house or thrift stores for items you can alter. This is "going green". :) Help save the planet!

This is a work in progress. I am trying to cover the roof with all kinds of little items. I just foun all the black letters today and put everyone in the families name on the roof. Look, someone gave me a goat beanie baby. We do still have our pet goat "Gump" and just love him. He has quite the personality.
