Today I have a Get Well card to share with you. This Bitty Bug stamp set is one of my favorites to use on cards for those feeling a bit (or a lot) under the weather! And I bummed out that it is now going to be retired. That's good news for you though as you can now purchase it for 25% off. 
Paperwings is once again hosting a blog hop! The theme for this month is Wedding Cards. You will find a great variety of designs from the participants so be sure to check them all out (the list of participants is at the end of this post.)
And here is view of the full card. Notice how the layered Nestabilities are popped up using foam tape giving it a bit of dimension.
It's been awhile since I have posted here. I was holed up in my craft cave sewing and quilting for spring craft fairs. They were very successful but prep time was all-consuming! The March ones are over for another year and now it is onto getting ready for May. But I have a bit of a break here and now am getting caught up on a few things - like my blog!
It is time once again for another blog hop with friends and fellow Angel Company demonstrators. The theme for this months blog hop is Easter.
It is a grey, cloudy, dreary day! At least it isn't snowing! But spring is just around the corner and I'm in "springy" mood today. So it is time for some colorful Easter creations.
On another snowy afternoon in the Midwest, the Paperwings Angel Blog Hop was a welcome reprieve from the seemingly endless winter. The theme - Green! So whether it be an card for St. Patrick's day or one for spring you are sure to enjoy them all.
Not only are these bags functional (i.e. carry your snacks) but you can also use them to support your business! Just think of the conversations they will start around the lunch table or at school/sports activities. Give one to those special customers and hostesses! You can even use them at your classes/workshops - use them for snacks or use them to hold those small embellishments or pieces of paper for each attendee. The possibilities are endless! 
Next is Julie A. Brown of Wabi Brook Studio. Her hand-crafted designs reflect the beautifully simple organic shapes and colors of nature. Julie's art demonstrates her respectful celebration of this wonderful planet and the creatures that live on it. She frequently uses materials that are re-claimed and re-cycled, so that you can embrace your love of the land with nature-inspired, eco-friendly, fine art and artisan jewelery. I especially like her Heading Home Black and White Photograph. As a child, I always wanted a horse (never got one though). They are beautiful, majestic creatures!
Kristen Stein is an award-winning Contemporary Artist living in the Philadelphia Metropolitan Region. Kristen creates a wide-range of contemporary styles suitable for all rooms in the house. Her original paintings, handmade crafts, and framed prints are a must see. Check out one of her latest paintings - Autumn Tree Landscape Painting. Fall is my favorite season and Kristen's trees remind me all that is good with nature!

UWIB, an ETSY Street Team, is gearing up for its first team event this coming weekend - Friday, January 22 thru Monday, Jan 25! 
I have fond memories of the dogs that I grew up - mostly collies but I remember a terrier too. The terrier didn't like being an outside dog. He spent every night jumping up on the front door waiting to be let in. But no such luck; but oh was he persistent! There was the puppy that joined us for only a few days as he was run over - a sad, sad day - especially for a little girl who adored him. I loved romping with the dogs when I was outside playing and pretending and imagining the world beyond our small community.
Most of the packages I send out to my ETSY buyers include a card of some kind thanking the customer for their business. This is a new 3 x 3 notecard design that I'm playing around with for future packages. 
Today's Abundance
A real quick post for today...
There's never a dull moment around here as I dig into yet one more way of creating things. I'm convinced I will be a multi-crafter forever. I've already told the kids that when they take me to the funny farm they need to send craft supplies too!! One of my latest endeavors has been working with ceramic tile and paper and here is what I've come up with!
As you may recall, I opened up my AndMoreBags shop back in October, 2009 - right before craft fair season followed by the holidays!. So, needless to say it was a bit quite both at the store and here on the blog. Well, that is about to change!
