Success & Happiness

Img_0001 "Success is getting what you want.  Happiness is wanting what you get."



A friend of mine and myself have decided to do a 6 x 6 quote monthly.  Well it started out every time we get together but we happen to get together either every week or every other week and who has that much time..lol  This is the page I came up with.  I used one of the new sets.  I love it.  Absolutely love it.  The set is called:  Inspired by Nature on page 100 of your Fall Winter IB&C.  I also used a little technique we learned at Convention.  Where You thread your needle with Linen Thread and then go up one side of your 5/8 grosgrain ribbon (about 7 - 8 inches of ribbon).  Don't forget to tie a knot at the end so it don't pull through.  your thread spaces are about 1/4 of an inch.  once you get to the end you pull the ribbon to give it a scrunch.  Tie the ends together and you get a round flower like object.  (I really hope I am explaining myself well..lol)



Hope you had a fabulous week end.  TTFN

Live with Passion

Img_0009 So, Did you think I went to convention and never came back?  I have seriously been through blog withdrawals. 



Speaking of blogging.  Did you hear that Shelli Gardner (co-founder of SU!) started her own blog.  Yep she did.  You can read here



OOOHHH..  Did you hear that SU! partnered with Sizzix and we now have our own exclusive dies from Stampin Up!  Just wait till you see Stampin' Up!'s Sizzix Big Shot..  It is just the coolest thing.



This card above was made with a new stamp set that I got at convention.  (this is actually one our Make N Takes at convention).  It is called inspired by nature.  I think it is just beautiful! using the new Kiwi Kiss card stock. 



If you haven't received your new IB&C please let me know.  You have got to see this cool stuff. 



OK I am off to bed now.  I just wanted to let you know I didn't fall off the face of the earth..lol

A True Freind is You Friend

Convention_swaps_1 This here is yet another swap I am in at Convention.  I signed up for the 3d swap over at SCS.  This is my coaster/post-it note binder clip-board.



I do believe this paper is retiring.  so sad.  I loved the brown and the pink.  It is just perfect.  :(



Being that I am typing this before I left for convention.  I am sure they will have lots of new DSP out that is just as fabulous.



Enjoy your Friday!
