This is a little card I did using the Nutsy Kaylee stamp set but with no image. Are you surprised? XD Its a really simple shadped card but I think its cute.

Today the highlighted image from this week's release at Some Odd Girl is Reading Mae. This specific image was requested by Annie Rose on our Facebook page and she painted such a vivid picture with her description that the easiest part was drawing it :) I finally used a dark skin color combo that I liked though I skipped far enough down the scale that it streaked a little. I was also trying a...

5 Comments   card, card making, crafting, Uncategorized

AND I wanted it to look as professional as possible while it was me doing it so I had to brush up on my photography skills. I don't know really...

8 Comments   DIY, life, me, sewing

It was flaking and peeling the fake leather after about 2 years of constant use, the foam of the seat was pretty much flat and it actually hurt my tailbone to sit in it for any length of time. The rest of the chair, mechanically, was still as good as day one so it was definitely just time to give it a fix. We...

I've had a lot of people ask about what the biggest struggles are running your own business and what the challenges are. Do you want to know mine? Impatience. Are you impatient? Do it. Raise your hand. I have both mine up, not that you can see it. :|| No, don't ask how I'm...
