Momism book

Momism-book-_0000
I compiled this booklet last year. After my mother passed away, I had this insatiable need to make something physical that would either remind people of her or would acquaint people with her.  For several months, I fought with this need, since I really didn’t know what I wanted to make or how to make it.  I just knew I needed [...]

Since my mother passed away in April 2012, I’ve decided to remember her birthday each year by having a girls luncheon. It keeps me from being sad on that day & is always a lot of fun. One of the things I most enjoy about my girls luncheon is I get to do it up all girly. I use my wedding china, crystal & silver. Sometimes I n [...]

This card looked better in my mind than it ended up in reality. However, it still turned out nicely, I think. Especially since I utilized two new techniques I’d never done before. One was creating my own print & cut for my Silhouette Cameo (for the text on the front). And the other… was because this is a MUSICAL card! Wh [...]

I added a Mary Quant-esque look to a Sephora bag, so I could use it as a gift bag.  With the white stripes on the sides of the bag, I felt the challenge was to cover the Sephora name with something that looked like it went with the stripes, rather than just something to cover up the Sephora name.  😉  I did the same design on both sides of the [...]

Halloween glass block light I bought one of the glass blocks that already has the opening in the bottom.  I got mine at Hobby Lobby but Michael’s has them too.  I added some white lights that you can buy pretty much anywhere during the holiday season. I used the Silhouette Cameo to make the cuts on vinyl.  I bought a sampler set of seve [...]

The first annual “Mother’s Birthday Luncheon”
My mother passed away two month shy of her 95th birthday.  I didn’t want to be sad that day, so I decided to invite a few girlfriends over for lunch.   I had recently been to an event where they had the cutest cupcakes… (It looks kind of smashed because this was one I’d smuggled out in a napkin.) Mine didn’ [...]
