Good finds, projects and more!


Hello girls! I'm back but still stuffed up and miserable:( Yesterday I had some extra time in between classes so I ran over to Target where I snagged this robe for Gage! It was $3.74 on clearance:) He loves anything red and still calls it "Ho, Ho, Ho!"; lol! Anything red reminds him of Santa; he's so cute! So this robe caught my eye because it has gingerbread houses on the inside of it, which you know are my absolute fave thing!! It also has little sock monkeys too. I know this isn't the nicest pic of him- but see if you can see the gingerbread houses!!

He looks so PLUMP in this robe and LOVES to wear it!


On Sunday, I made a quick trip to Good will where I found this Yankee Candle tart warmer for $2.00! The original price on the back from the store said $13.99! Its so pretty- cream colored with pink roses; it goes nicely in my living room:) I got some other things too but can't show them at this time; they are "projects/gifts" for someone!



These beachy prints are cute but I mainly wanted the frames; the paint needs to be touched up. I plan to use these with some pretty scrapbook paper that I bought from Hobby Lobby, to put in the living room as well.


I may have mentioned before that I am a Creative Memories consultant? This is the consultant magazine that we get each month; I absolutely LOOOOOVE the project idea on the cover! It reminded me of an idea that Priscilia gave us for the Vintage Valentine Swap that I am in. You can take an old valentine candy box and recover it in pretty paper. The one shown here is using one of CM's 12x12 Page Additions set that sells for $9.00; it comes with paper and stickers for Valentine's Day. They also used their different Heart Punches to create the sweet hearts around the edges!! TOO CUTE! Don't ya think???

They added some ribbon and a Tag, using the Tag Maker that we have in our product line.


Add some yummy chocolates and you have a lovely gift to give your sweetie!


Below are a few "SNEAK PEEKS" of some things I have been busy working on for my Vintage Valentine Swap partner...




Like what you see? Oh, I had soooo much fun making these things and I hope Michele loves them!!

Have a great day girls!!

Cute robe! Yes, I see the Gingers! Too bad my boys never liked wearing robes! :<

Cute heart box! Thanks for the inspiration. I don't feel too inspired when I'm sick. :<

I must needs get a heart punch! My friend Tina gave me a bunch of punched hearts recently and I just love them!
I knew you were a consultant but I never hear you mention doing any work shops... do tell!

Hey There! I live pretty close to Ypsilanti so you were right in my neck of the woods. I'm at the good Target and Joann's there all the time. It's too bad I hadn't found out about this whole world of blogging then. If you ever have to come back for more training let me know! Is your company by Briarwood Mall? I think that's in Ann Arbor, so probably not. I'm only asking because a friend of mine's husband works for some kind of educational company and it's there. I'll have to ask her what his company is called, but he works in college text books so it's probably something else but would be funny if it's the same company! What exactly is a Data Collector?

Okay back to YOUR post, love the robe. Looks all snuggly and so bright and cheery on cold days. I love tart warmers, and your find is a cute one. I love how you can change scents without having to store a bunch of space taking candles. I have a YC tart warmer and love it, use it all the time. And I'm curious to see the finished frames and gift so be sure to post them when you can!
