Paper, paper, and more paper....

Hello are you all glad it's Friday ??? Me too! I thought I would share my latest cards and a shabby little cottage I finally got done.  I did this one all in pinks, celedons, and added a lot of glitter on top!  I love these little houses because the top comes off and you can tuck a gift or whatever inside! Or store your Recipes or  greeting cards.  I found a few new treasures the other day..old buttons and rhinestones and a few new pieces of paper and had to play!  As usual a few doilies, stitching, and what not.  HOpe you enjoy!  I am off to fix something to eat.  Tonight is every man for himself.  Mama ain't cookin.  It's the cooks night off.  I so enjoyed reading I am not the only one that gets in a fix over fluffing.  We will get our chance to move.  Every thing in good time.  Right?  Hope everyone has a good night.  I had to add another pic of Bailey..perched on my bubble wrap.  xoxo, cherry

Itsy teeny weeny bit of sprucing...

         I am trying to spruce up this home of ours a bit.  Just moved things around.  I have found it hard lately to feel inspired by my home...I think due in part that we want to move and can't right now....and that makes me feel trapped some what.  I sometimes think "what is the use"....which really is silly.  There is nothing wrong in making your current situation look as nice as possible.  Just a stupid habit I have I guess.  I did get a lovely typography piece that you see up above my old hutch there....my talented friend Kirsten made it for me!   That did help me feel inspired.  I like the graphic quality of it with my clock.   Kirsten has a family blog too....she has 5 ADORABLE KIDS and still finds time to decorate and craft.  OHHH she is the one that got me started on crock pottin it......which has saved me quite a few times with the "whats for dinner" syndrome we have around this house.  Anywhooooo..  I just added a few symbols of Spring around.....birds...of course....I threw in some vintage cash register pieces into the nest my son bought me....I LIKE JUNK.   That is me.   OLD Stuff....makes me happy.   Welll that is it for me tonight...I am sure I will be back with more cards.    I am a card freak.  Well...paper freak....another "makes me happy".   Just can't help it guys.   Hugs to you all!  XoXo, Cherry

Just a couple of cards tonight..

          I hope you know the shame shame was on me yesterday for not posting more?  The pic of the kitties was just too adorable not to share....Bailey the kitten fell asleep like that on Calvin.  They have become fast friends and I am so glad.  At first we were not sure.....LOTS OF hissing ensued.  I thought I would share a few cards with you tonight...I made them last night.  I have a customer that said I should make more tea cards....and I have wanted too.   These were made with large chipboard tags that I covered and than cut out and sanded the HECK OUT OF....to get a flush finish.   I thought the teapot needed "steam"...so twine is curling out like a hissing teapot.   These were a lot of fun to make..and I now see a few more in my future.  You know how you get on kicks?   Life is too short not to have a few kicks....well thanks for stopping by.  I am trying to play catch up with you all....I will be stopping by shortly. Get the tea ready!  Hugs, cherry

shame shame...

                Does anyone visit here anymore...I have been so neglectful of this poor blog.   I hope someone comes calling ....I am still here.   I have a few cards to share today.   Although Spring has yet to pop her head up here....I am so ready for it and it reflects in my cards.    I hope to spruce my home a bit for Spring.  Lighten things up a bit.  Hope everyone is doing well this Monday!  I will be back to share more projects from my kit with dear Kelly!  Hope to share a few pics of my home as well.  Don't give up on me!  Hugs, Cherry
