Hi Everyone!!! I made this last night! and I like how it came out but it has so many flaws that I can't give it away LOL! I totally didn't pay attention to how I sewed the handles so there showing on the outside! LOL! Oui! rookie move (which I am) :) so I will leave it on the table during card class for scraps :) ..It was a lot of fun to make but I want to be better at making things so I need more practice! but in the mean time I will share the link to a wonderful woman who shares her patterns for FREE! that is so generous! Pink Penguin love it :) ...have a fabulous day everyone!!! Thank You!!!! Come Again!!!! Mandy
Hi Everyone! I'm so lazy this morning. I wanted to sew but I'm moseying around so I wouldn't have enough time to make something and post it so instead I made a bee line for my craft room and made this card :) ..I like how sweet it came out. Everything is SU except for the sentiment and bear that all came from my "stash"..I hope you have a great Saturday! now I'm off to sew.. I think a bag :) .. Thank You!!! Come Again!!!! Mandy
Hi Everyone!!! yesterday was crazy busy. I kinda don't like those days but my son has a few days left of school and we are totally counting down! So this morning as I was running with my friend Laura she mentioned our card day that's going to happen in July...yep Christmas in July! we will be making our Christmas cards!! and I thought I really need to start making samples for the ladies that need a little help with inspiration and this is the first one! ..Beware it's not a cheap card to make but it's a lot of fun because you can add a picture or not it's all up to them. I had a picture that makes me laugh on my desk and so I used it :) but normally I'm sure you would pick a happy picture not one with a son with attitude believe me he was in trouble after I clicked this picture LOL!!!! I added pictures that I took inside and outside that way you can hopefully see all the detail :) (everything is Stampin Up) ...Of course it's Friday Funny and here is Rocks trying to sleep but I kept taking pictures of him that he finally opened his eyes to glare at me! I decided that I really want to sew this weekend so hopefully I will finish a top to show you :) ..have a great 3 day weekend!!! Thank You!!!! Come Again!!!! Mandy

Hi Everyone!!! I decided to finally show you my tattoos...I have an absolute love affair with cupcakes, they totally make me happy, they have for many years not just when Cupcake Wars came out :)..When I started to get my sleeve done I knew I wanted cupcakes and Disney...So I picked my favorite Disney movies and this of course is one of them. My family and I love this movie! I also knew that I wanted all my wrappers to incorporate the clothes of all the girls I chose and if you look closely you will see Lilo's dress :)..I also chose to have one item that means a lot to the girls on or next to my tattoo and of course you see Scrump :) ..Also the cupcake frosting is the color of my girls hair. I have the best tattoo artist around! and I can't wait to show you the rest over time :)...I love ALL my tattoos that he has made come to life just by me telling him what my vision is :) Thank You!!! Come Again! Mandy
Hi Everyone!!! Today I came home and had in mind to make a bookmark. Well lo and behold I had a giant chipboard shaped bookmark already in place. So I added some really pretty DP from My Mind's Eye (Home)..a flower I had in my "stash" and this sweet image from The Greeting Farm. I finished it off with a button and metal embellishment sentiment that says Joy..There's nothing better then reading a book :) Isn't the rainbow ribbon pretty! love it :) I hope you all have a great Wednesday .. Thank You!!! Come Again!!!! Mandy
Hi Everyone!!! Well like my title says this is my reality when I craft every single day! I always start out clean and by the time I'm done I am working in a 6x6 size space in from of me. I am so dreading cleaning this up but I need to because I keep losing my little pieces LOL! I wasn't brave enough to show you my complete room because yep a bomb blew up in the whole room not just my desk..thank gosh my house doesn't look like this but for some reason my sewing room is headed this way too :) ..Tim's constantly laughing at me but O well I don't think I will ever be a clean crafter or shhh baker! at least I can be grateful that my hair is always pulled back or else I would have the Einstein look while making cards/sewing :0)...So to the card. This card is for card class and I had fun tearing out a page in the old idea book and integrating onto the front it's the flower looking thing LOL! I can't remember what it's called ..With the Cupcake we will be able to use the Cherry smelling embossing powder and O ya it smells delicious! I did add on all the edges bleach but I'm not sure I like it after all so that might be nixed...But I like the fun color combo and it makes me feel good, so hopefully they will leave happy with this one :) ...Have an awesome Tuesday! Thank You!!! Come Again!!! Mandy
Hi Everyone!!! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend :) I absolutely did! After making this card I realized that I love Cherry Cobbler with Basic Black..this color combo does something for me :) It just screams elegant ..I did emboss the cardstock and after stamping the bird I embossed over it, it's hard to see in the picture but I love it :) ...On the left hand corner are grommets and on the side of the bird are brads.. I haven't decided if I like this enough for class, so decisions decisions :) ..I hope you have a great day! Thank You!!! Come Again!!! Mandy
Hi Everyone!!! Happy Mother's Day! I finally had my camera ready and this is such a great picture of Rocks!!!

Have a awesome day!!!! Thank You!!!! Come Again!!!! Mandy P.S feel free to "Pin" him :)..the link is now on the bottom of my posts :)
Hi Everyone!!! I haven't done a sketch challenge in so long and within two days I have done two! I forgot how fun they are! this sketch is from Sketch Saturday..Don't mind the shadow it's my big body in the way..I went outside and found out right away that it's hot and I don't do outside and hot I'm allergic..I think if there were vampires I would make a great one! I like to bite ;) I avoid the sun. The only down side I can see is that food is out of the question and apparently I'm a foodoholic the size of my clothes say so. So a world without sushi, pizza, hamburgers and a whole cheesecake is so not happening, so please forgive the shadow on my picture as Summer approaches there may be more (and now you know why) :)..I will see ya all tomorrow! Thank You!!! Come Again!!! Mandy
