What in the world am I doing today??

I know you are all wondering what I am doing. Well, I am sitting here staring at my wonderfully organized room......

Ok so NOT. I am trying to get the monkeys off the ceiling to do some school (with a bit of success from time to time). I have dinner in the crock pot as hubby and I have to run out right after dinner to replace my almost 9 yr old printer. I am thrilled it lasted that long. So we will head out and look for a flat bed copier, printer scanner. It is amazing how much of my business relies on my printer, I have so many things to ship out that are just sitting here, staring at me with tears in their eyes thinking I have forgotten them. Not to worry my dear packages (and customers) we will be up and shipping in no time and momma gets a new printer!!! WOO HOO.......

I am also working on my huge orders of singed flowers, I love doing them and they are so pretty. If you haven't done so already you should really try. I have a tutorial that I will add on here in a few minutes, but for the time being, just look at all my beautiful flowers. These are a few of the almost 500 flowers I have made in March and April!!!

The process is so fun now that I have a place to put everything and it is not falling all over the floor and I dont have to search for my centers.....ahhh, who knew I would love being organized so much!!!


These flowers are just so gorgeous and my clients tell me they sell like hotcakes. If you are interested in buying some from me for your self or your shows, please contact me, I would love to help you out. My pricing is very affordable and I can accommodate most color requests. Here is the one I did for my daughter for her formal last weekend. I know, her hair is to die for, I had it all nice and curly and it looked like this and then she went and got ready at her friend's house and the curl got lessened!! Man, I would kill for my hair to ever hold that much curl.....oh well, what does a mom know when you are 16?

Here are some more of my flowers, I will post a tutorial later this week so be on the look out!!!

Dear Father, thank you so much for the beauty of this day and the creativity you blessed me with. I pray that I use my gifts for your glory and everyone can see the light and love of Your Son Jesus Christ shine through me and my creations. In Jesus name, Amen

Organized at last

We worked really hard this weekend to get these shelves up and my studio and the kids school room organized!!! I designed the shelves the way I wanted so my ribbon spools sit on them just perfect. I still have more ribbon but that was already organized. Now when I need to make a big order, I can order what I need instead of guessing (usually wrong) on my actual needs. all the little items are labeled and in their neat and tidy place. I also purchased a large yarn rack from a broad goods store that was moving and selling fixtures. It is PERFECT for my stash and some other things that are hard to store. We also tackled the furnace room which has been one of the things on hubby's to do list for years. All of that is organized as well for all my back stock that I didn't want cluttering up my studio. My son came down and with sheer joy shrieked, IT IS SO CLEAN, I can run now!! He has been subjected to my craft room as he and his sister are schooled with me each day and is obviously THRILLED that I have cleaned it up. Now, to put everything in its place and know what I have will be so easy!! I am EXHAUSTED, my neck hurts, my hands ache but tomorrow morning when we come down for me to work and the kids to school, it will feel SO SO GOOD. I can get to the printer/copier, the telephone, all my stuff, the kids books.............ahhhhh, sweet dreams of ribbon, fabric and supplies will be dancing in my head. Or nightmares of lost ribbon hunting me down to claim their rightful place on the shelf.

You know, I almost wish I would have taken before pictures so you could have had a greater appreciation for this. From whence I came is not a pretty sight and one to which I hope I never return.



The best $50 I ever spent was for the rack from a big box store that held yarn. I brought it home and my oldest daughter and I worked to get all the stuff in it. It was a perfect solution to all those odd things that take up so much space when in boxes, it also made it easier for me to see what I have to work with. This is one that I could sit and look at for hours. Heck, the whole thing is that way, well, not so much the furnace room.






I love having all my favorite bible verses and the kids stuff mixed in, and the necklaces hanging makes it so much easier to see what I have. The wire shelf is one that I hung by myself years ago, needless to say, I was not worried about it being straight........drives hubby nuts. Then I used little s-hooks to hang all my necklaces up where I could see them.





Our kindergartner likes to change the pictures often so I get to look at something new every now and again. Also, I read the bible verses off the wall to them each day so they too can hide God's word in their hearts.






Everything labeled an in its place. Good night sweet supplies, sleep well. I cannot wait to work with you tomorrow.......



Now, if I migrate to the dark side again, please feel free to yank me back to reality and get things organized again





My dear sweet husband just came in and asked if I was able to get all my ribbon up on the shelves. I sighed and said, "Well...." he just laughed and gave me a kiss on the top of my head. Gotta love when they finally gain an understanding of your inner self.

Heavenly Father, thank you so much for blessing me with a man who is willing to grow in his understanding of me. I am blessed that his hard work is what affords me to shepherd our little one's hearts, minds and souls. Teach me to listen for your still small voice when I am working so to remember that all of the wonderful things I have are yours and would not be possible without you. I rejoice in your love and ask for strength to abide in it each and every moment that I am alive. Thank you so much for your precious son, Jesus, my savior, in whose name I pray, Amen

Gotta Blog

I know I need to get things going on here.....I will do better.

currently working on my daughter's high school formal dress, wish she would have let me design it instead of making me use a DARNED pattern.
