Wow, it’s hard to believe another Wednesday has rolled around and it’s time to head over to Julia’s and see what on all of my What’s On Your Worksdesk pals are up to! Since I’m on the tail end of the time zone, I’ve already peeked at Julia’s post and I am excited to see […]
Organizational Blog Hop: Ink Pad Storage
Welcome to Create With Joy! Today, I am participating in an Organizational Blog Hop with a few of my friends from Stamping Bloggers! We all love to create heirlooms and gifts for our families and friends. However, staying organized during the process can challenge even the best of us! So, we’ve put our heads together […]
Multi-Challenge Card: Love Deep, Live Long
I enjoy creating and receiving non-traditional birthday cards – so several years ago, when I first saw CTMH’s D1036 Heritage stamp set, it was the sentiment “love deep, live long” that turned this into a “must have” for me. What a beautiful thought to express to a loved one! This week at Pile It On, Challenge 14 […]
ATC: Mirror Mirror & A Kindred Spirits Challenge
Believe it or not, I still have a few leftover items from my Girly ATC kit to play with, and Mirror Mirror is the latest ATC I have created using these elements! When I first saw the mirror in the kit, the rhyme “mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” flashed […]
WOYWW 15: Tsunami At 9 Weeks
Wow, it’s hard to believe another week has come and gone and my buds over at The Stamping Ground are posting their amazing workspaces for all the world to see. As for me, while I have a ton of things to share, I’ve still been under the weather, so I haven’t gotten around to photographing anything […]
ATC: The Perfect Dress
I created today’s ATC, The Perfect Dress, using the beautiful stamped image and the glittery bling crown from my Collage ATCs Girly Swap packet shown in my WOYWW10 post. I have loved this image ever since Wendy first made me an ATC with it a year prior (I would love to know the name and manufacturer of […]
PDCC24 & Smart Word Fresh Challenge: Get Well Card
This week, with so many friends feeling under the weather, I thought I’d send some cyber-cheer via this Get Well Card! Prayers and hugs are going out to Kindred Spirit Christina who is home after her recent hospitalization – to Carla – and to all who are in need of some extra TLC! To create […]
Happy Birthday Tsunami!
Today is Tsunami’s birthday! At three years and 22 pounds, he is the epitomize of a “gentle giant” – a quality Maine Coons are known for. To celebrate his special day, I thought I would share some of Tsunami’s earliest photos with you – photos that were taken before he came to live with us – […]
WOYWW 14 (A Day Late!)
Hello world! I did not forget my What’s On Your Workspace Wednesday post – but it appears that a bit of a bug got the better of me yesterday, and I spent most of the day sleeping and catching up on some much needed rest! So, I thought I’d go a head and share what […]
I Felt The Earth – Move – Under My Feet
And I didn’t like it – not one bit. Nor, for that matter, did my cat. I felt the earth move around 3:40 pm on Easter Sunday, an hour or so before my friend arrived for her holiday meal. I had just placed my Kentucky Butter Rum Cake in the oven and was lying flat on my back when […]
Happy Easter My Dear Friends!
Happy Easter to all of my dear Kindred Spirits! I hope you are having a blessed day with your family and friends. As I mentioned earlier, I thought it unlikely that my boys would don an Easter Bunny outfit for the day (they are much too sophistiCATed for that!) but I did find this adorable […]
