New Birdhouse for Your Mantel

Finished!! 

I finally have a new birdhouse to add to the collection.  I've decided to get started on my crafts again!  I've missed it so much.

Our new birdhouse has a beautiful blend of peaches and creams....yummmm!  It's not for outside....Keep it for your mantel or your windowsill.  Collect them... and show them off!  I'll even customize a collection just for you.  Just send me an email!  Tell me what colors you love and how you would like it decorated.

Thanks so much for visiting!  I'm so glad you stopped by :)

Blessings to you!

A Trip to the Zoo

A little while back I had a chance to take a trip to Alabama.  My daughter, my husband, and our beautiful granddaughters wandered around the Birmingham Zoo and had the time of our lives!  We even rode the camels...and let me tell you something...those humps are as hard as rocks!  I kid you not!  Hard as rocks!!  I wouldn't be able to take much of a journey on those buggers.  I mus admit it was really fun!

By the end of the day our little one "Malia" was tired and just wanted to take a nap.  Our oldest Kiani rang the bell announcing our arrival!! Both the girls fell asleep on the way back to the house.

It was a great day!

I've grabbed a couple of photos and quickly laid them out with my "My Memories" software.  Man, I love this program.  When you make the purchase you have the opportunity to become an affiliate.  For every software program you sell, you receive a very nice stipend.  So please, if you have any interest at all use this code when ordering STMMMS62443.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting.  Blessings and joy everyone!

Now Accepting Credit Cards

Esty has offered sellers the ability to offer a credit card option to their buyers.  I've just signed up.   It just seems, that in this day and age we need to provide every opportunity to our buyers, and this is a super idea from Etsy.

Basically, we fill out an online form agreeing to the "fees" associated with the program and "voila" were up and running. Initially it takes 10 days for the first funds to process and after that things are pretty immediate.  If you're associated with Etsy, I'd definitely recommend this program.

I'm excited to have the opportunity, through Etsy, to provide you with this service.  Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you at the shop!

Blessings to you always,

Hey Everyone! How are you??

Hello my friends,

Do you ever feel like the only friends you have are here, online?  There are times that I feel that way.  I'm not disappointed...I'm thankful to a loving Lord that I have friends and support here.  I'm thankful to you as well!!

 I've added a new little birdhouse to my Etsy Shop.  It's slowly growing and I'm learning more and more all the time.  If you ever need any help or have any questions....shoot me a line and I'll do my best to help.

With this tiny birdhouse, I've added a small charm, a sunflower, for warmth and character.  The house is fully decorated in Graphic 45 paper and Wild Orchid florals.  It's so sweet and will add to anyone's mantle or window sill.

Thank you for taking time with me today!  Blessings and love!

Work and Play

One of the most frustrating things about working farther away from home is that it doesn't leave much time to play and create!  Even though it's something that I love I find that I have less and less time to enjoy it.

Today is my husband's birthday; I had to hurry home, cook a special dinner, prepare a package for shipment and still have time to do a few other things...the time just isn't there.  It will come as I plan my days better.

Praying that you are blessed...that you feel God's presence in this hectic life and that as you reach for the stars you remember the moon is within your grasp!

Blessings and joy!

It's Been a While Again...

These are small easel cards, made with a Victorian feel and flair.  I've decided to share them even though they aren't completely finished.  I think they'll be thank you or thinking of you cards.  Any ideas would be appreciated! :)

Be blessed and happy everyone...I miss my time with you....My travels back and forth have taken so much of my time...I'll be back soon!

God bless and keep you!

Oh My Goodness!!

Has it been this long!?  HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Did you have a wonderful time?  Did you watch a little football, eat yummy food, and squeeze the one's you love?  I hope you did!!

The grandkids came over for a week during Christmas!  What an awesome time we had!  So much giggling and cuddling.

Below is a picture that I sent to my Sister for Christmas...She said she loved it and I sure hope she did :)  Try to ignore the ceiling fan...and the poor photography...

I'll write more soon...thanks for hanging in there with me!  For those of you who were following along and wondering...Allie Cat passed away just before Christmas...She's sitting pretty in "someone's" lap; loved and content.

Blessings and warmth,

Colleen
