coasters.

I have a couple sets of coasters left over from a few craft fairs this summer. As I'm reorganizing in 2009, I'm ready to part with these two sets of 'R's. I'm not sure why I made so many 'R's!

They are only $10 for 4, and they all come sealed and with felt pads on the bottom. Shipping is additional if you are outside middle Tennessee.
One set is on a brown tone tile with brown paint, and the other coaster is on a light stone with black paint. Thanks for stopping by!

blog mentions.

This has been an exciting week in blog land.

Yesterday, Layla over at the Lettered Cottage was featuring some rooms she had worked on, and she use my living room as an example of her photo consultation. Check it out here. She also has been helping my mom with some stuff, and hopefully in a few days I'll have some pictures of what we have been working on over there.

And... my KWerner Color challenge card was featured in her top 15 earlier this week here. I try not to get too caught up in creating for praise, but I have to say it is always nice to hear that other people like the stuff you make!

More December Daily coming later this week.

december daily, day 5, 6, & 7

I finished almost all of my December Daily album. I'll be posting the pages on here this week. When I started this process I really thought we would have tons of "Christmas" pictures, but in reality there are a lot of just "normal" days. I'm not 100% sure I will do this again. However, if I had kids, I would!

bonus room project.

I have another home project that I worked on over the holiday. My friend Sarah helped me recover my enormous ottoman.

Chase and I bought it when we got married at a yard sale. It was perfect for two poor kids! We no longer have the couch it goes with, but we don't have a coffee table, and since it is in our bonus room we love to be comfy in front of the tv.

I actually thought I would take on this project myself, until I realized that fabric was not nearly wide enough. I needed the help of someone who could sew... Sarah to the rescue!

After:
Doesn't it look much better? I got this fabric from Joann's.

december daily, day 3 and 4

Yes, I finally got time to add my pictures to my December Daily album. These pages are only 5.5 x 5.5, so that creates some challenges, but when you do get an idea it's easy to complete.

Here are December 3rd and 4th. I'm really loving how page 4 came out. My goal is to have this completed in the next week (I'm hoping by typing that it will provide some motivation).

Paper is Figgy Pudding by Basic Grey

when laziness becomes creativity.

This card was cased from Nichole Heady's heart card. I've loved this card since the moment I saw it. I unfortunately do not have that stamp set (it's on my wish list). So in the mean time I thought I'd use what I did have to make it.

I decided to use an orange from the Tart and Tangy set from Stampin Up. Here's what it looks like:
Unfortunately I didn't have a punch to fit the orange. I could have used one of my nestabilites to do this, but I am lazy. So I used my 1 inch punch and decided they looked enough like flowers without the circle. Here's what they look like:
Stamps: Tart & Tangy, Live Like You Mean It
Paper: White
Ink: Red, Pretty in Pink, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Cool Caribbean
Accessories: Black Rhinestones, Black Stampin Up Writer
