Question of the Day on Kinderstamp-O


So the question of the day is: How do you store your ribbon? Well my DH made a really neat storage rack (if you could call it a rack) out of a flat piece of wood trim where he then attached 5 dowel rods standing up onto the wood base. It holds anywhere from 50-70 ribbon spools depending on their size. I really like how i can just pull it next to the project I'm working on, pull out the desired length and cut, then just tape it back up. It's about time for him to make me an additional one as I'm starting to collect more spools in drawers!

Halloween Tag Swap on Kinder Stamp-O



Had so much fun making these tags for the Halloween Tag Swap hosted by Jessica at Kinderstamp-O! Can't wait to get my tag exchanges to see what others have done. Really had fun at Jess' Live U-Stream last Wednesday -- lots of cute tags were shown.

Circle of Love


Our wedding rings definitely tell a story as neither one of us are wearing our original rings -- they were lost at different times and places (mine were eventually found) -- such heartache at the time! While we each have beautiful rings now, the memories of those precious original rings that we worked so hard to pay for is bittersweet.

I used transparent embellished sheets to 'frame' the pictures and journaling (found at Michaels) and did a little embossing. Pink and maroon were the colors of our wedding.

Jason's Christening


I know I'm creating pages for my 'kids' way after they've grown (he's 25 and she's 27), but it's sure wonderful going through and sorting all the pics out and reliving precious times! I can't imagine being able to keep up with all the scrapbook stuff when the kids were younger -- I so admire those of you who keep current on your books. I do have the time on my hands now so it's a real joy to create these precious keepsakes.

Blog Hop Alert!




Be sure and 'tune' in next Saturday, November 13th, for the "A Thanking We Will Go" blog hop hosted by Kinderstamp-O! Lots of great projects and candy to boot!
