Some artwork to harken Spring

I have been yearning for Spring..and the colors and creatures that go along with it. Greens and blues...and blooms of flowers and butterflies fluttering by. How about you? Just thinking about the sunshine warming my back gives my heart a little leap. Sooo my creations have been influenced by that as of late. I thought I would share a few of my altered art plaques I have been making. Tomorrow I will be popping in with a friends lovely home that I wanted to share with you all. I know you all love to discover new homes with abundant eye candy. So come back tomorrow! Until than I will leave you with a few birdies, some flowers, and a sweet hummingbird or two buzzing around. Does anyone know if the ground hog saw his shadow or not? Enquiring minds want to know! Hugs to you all! Xoxoxox, cherry

When the moon hits your eyes...

like a bigga piece of pie! that's amore! Hello! Is everybody ready for Valentines Day? I am getting there. I added a few things here and there...and thought I would share. I adore the colors of this little holiday....reds, white, pink...YUM. I think this is a holiday you can be bold in and be as feminine as you like! My house is full of testorone...so that little detail makes me extra happy. I don't have a lot of LOVE decor....and the only new thing I added this year is this banner I made that I hung across my hutch. I did the word Valentine and added a tag in the middle that says "be mine". There are a few things in the pics that are for sale in my etsy store http://www.etsy.com/shop/cherryjn . If you are in need of a quick Valentine gift for a friend or loved one!

I am lucky to have my husband's grandma's old Valentines...I love the colors and sweet wit to these. I wanted to tell you thank-you for the well wishes...Hunter is back to school and doing much better. I did end up sick..but luckily not as bad as my poor son! I swear by air shield. I don't think I get as sick taking that. Well that is it for me. I hope to get going on my blog more...I need to learn how to be a bit more tech saavy..so I don't spend so much time uploading etc. I have things I would love to share but don't have the time.....days just speed by! Hugs to you all! xooxoxoxox,, Cherry

Happy New Year!

Well Hello there! How are you? So sorry to have fallen off the face of the earth....but in my defense...awww forget! What can I say? Life just happens. We have of late had rounds of sickness. My son is Krazzzzeeeeee sick. He has had a horrible fever. Still sick today...seeing a little bit of an improvement but at night it gets worse. We got him the H1n1 shot and the seasonal but certainly would not know it by looking at the poor fellow! Now I am starting to not feel well..but holding on to healthy as much as possible. Time will tell. Anyways..I took a break for a bit from creating. I had wanted to share some house stuff but have not gotten it done. So you are stuck with some Valentine goodies that I have listed in etsy. Would love to have you go take a peek! http://www.etsy.com/shop/cherryjn I hope all is well with everyone! XoXo, Cherry

Announcing.....

Something that has ME very excited! I am now a designer for http://www.kitcardshop.com/ Dear Kelly is the proprietor of this delightful store and this is her motto and something we should all take to heart and follow a little more("Lets keep in touch"...how many times have we said that common phrase with every intention to follow through?Then somehow, our busy lives squeeze good intentions to the side and we never quite make that call, send that greeting card, start that scrapbook, or give that little gift...Don't let this happen to you! )
Her store is full of vintage heaven...assortments of whimsical embellishments and top of the line scrapbooking goodies. There are some of the sweetest kits to make one of a kind and unique cards, tags, layouts. Anything you fancy. She really has an eye for creating wonderful kits full of color and just the right amount of shabby sweetness. I had an absolute ball creating with the things she sent me. I made everything here you see with one of the kits and I still have a lot left. I will be sharing my creations I make with her goodies every month here with you! She also shares her wonderful home with us on her blog. Her house is gorgeous...full of eye candy and color...and the yummiest vignettes. All I can say is you can't ask for a better combo??? Decorating AND the best collections of kits to get your inspiration flowing! Please go give Kelly a visit! Great way to keep the winter blahs at bay. Well that is it for me today!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones. We had a warm and Merry one ourselves. Nothing better than spending time with your family. I am off to start slowly putting Christmas back in its box. I will be sure to keep a bit of it in my heart as well. Hugs to you all! Happppppppy New Year..looking forward to 2010 and what it will bring. XOXO, Cherry

Birthdays...just aren't what they use to be

Today is my birthday..where's the party hat and kazoo? GOOD TIMES! Suppose to go today to finish shopping and go have a nice dinner...BUT my son is yet again not feeling well poor fellow! Moving on to less sensitive topics..thought I would share more of the Christmas touches in these parts. Can I just say in all honestly Christmas REALLLY snuck up on me this year. I did not get nearly everything done I wanted to. To top that off...our beautiful tree that we got....has to come out...it just dried up like the dickens. The man that sold it to us gave us a new one yesterday..which means taking everything off and putting the new tree in..and starting from scratch. Did I mention GOOD TIMES??? rofl. Ohhh well. ON a happier note, I got the sweetest package from a blog buddy...her and I did a swap. She just spoiled me....the silhouettes you see she did...she has a beautiful etsy store that you should go peek at http://www.etsy.com/shop/tripletmom2 and a gorgeous blog here http://tarnishedandtattered.blogspot.com/ ! She also made the sweet vintage Christmas card banner! I love everything Lisa...THANK-YOU BUNCHES! Sooo I will leave all of ya with some fun pics of Christmas decor! The big Standing Santa you see...my dear son bought for me several years back. He spent his own birthday money and my dh took him shopping. He had seen me dazzled over by this St Nick...and he surprised me with it. That is a very special memory for me. Well anyway... I have had fun visiting all you ....gorgeous festooning everywhere I look. I hope everyone is well and in the Christmas spirit...I bought a Bing Crosby cd last night...can't wait to break it out. I had to also share a pic of Calivni on the couch...one of his new fave places to lounge. Merry CHRISTmas to all you! XOXO, cherry

A little project to share

I thought I would drop in and say howdy! Hope everyone is having a jolly festive season! It was snowing here earlier like the dickens..but has now turned to a nice sludgy rain....GOOD TIMES! I am very thankful that cold.....zub zero weather went away though....35 degrees now seems down right balmy. Today I am sharing a album I did for someone.....I got the biggest kick out of doing this! Had sooo much fun. I thought I would share a few pages from it..it is a Christmas album done with bingo cards. The first pic is the cover of the album. Other than that..I have a snippet of things to come for Valentines day...gets me all lovey dovey just thinking about it.....Ha!!! When the weather or I should say the light gets better I will snap the rest of my Christmas pics. Off to do housely duties all! XOXO, Cherry
