It's the little things

Today was catch up day.  I didn't package any Inka Gold, but I did all the little things that I've put off the last few days.  Cut out Inka labels, special order for cut outs (LOVE my Brother Scan n Cut!), send emails, design a sale for next week, put discount tags on "Pick an Egg" sale for next week, put labels on 100+ ink pod packages, design an invitation for my grandson's b-day party, cut 80 5x7 canvas sheets, wash dishes and cutting mat, etc.  I'm sure there are more things I did and can't remember.  I did manage to eat lunch somewhere in there and talk to my sales rep about Chameleon markers (they will be on my next order).  Oh My!
Tomorrow and Saturday I'll be teaching so nothing exciting for me!
Please shop local, shop small.  We appreciate your patronage.

How many do you count?

Well this is how I spent part of my day! Hydrangea and Turquoise (or purple and teal if you like).
I still have 2 hours left... I wonder how many I can get done during that time?  Working on Silver next.
I ordered some papers on Wednesday.  MICHIGAN papers. I'm so looking forward to getting them.
Also on order is Penny Black and Stampendous (House Mouse, Bunnies and Bears).

See you soon!

PS - Invitation from Too Much Fun:

A Bountiful Day

This is yesterday's post... hahaha  I didn't get to it till today.  This is just part of the bounty I got yesterday.  LOTS to do.  Still haven't put it all away.  For those looking for men's cards to do, we got some 3d trains in.  They usually sell out fairly fast, so just a reminder.
Hope you are enjoying the beginning of Spring!!

Delivered Today!

The Cheery Lynn order came in today along with some visitors.  The order consisted of NEW Easter dies, flowers, etc. 
The boys just consisted of smiles and kisses!

 

We have Drew tonight.  We went out to dinner and then to Hobby Lobby to find some stuff to finish the rock house with the collection from last summer's trip to the UP.

Oil Pastels, I never knew...

Here is another video on something that has been around forever with a new twist!! I'd seen something like this a long time ago, but never used the technique.  I love the addition of the stencil and then stamping on it.  Hope you enjoy.
