A storage solution tip/ Re-purpose

Hello Friends!

It seems the weather is playing on my body...got the allergies/cold mixture and it is really making me tire...but I am cleaning and organizing my craft room and getting my space done to give you all more craftiness...and I am excited and found some ways to repurpose some things for my room ...so I am going to give you a glimpse of it...and then I will have pics posted on my final redecorating it ....I have a small niche in my bedroom and I love being able to do that ...especially when I can't sleep; I get up and create! which sometimes doesn't help but energize me some more...lol...

You know those convenient Frosting that you buy to keep on hand for emergencies for cakes and brownies, etc....well I took the label off and then I cut a 12x12 paper to cut a 3" inch strip and then taped it around the plastic container and a holder for my color pencils were born and I have several of these and I wanted to also show you what it looked like with printed paper...as you have probably noticed...I used my favorite color...purple of course!! it wouldn't be me if I didn't use it you know...lol...I hope I inspired you to think out of the box and come up with a solution of your own.




Sorry I have been behind a bit but you are going to love some changes I decided to make and also I have not forgot about the prizes announcements and will announce the winner this weekend if I don't forget due to my previous injuries I have a problem focusing which is not a good thing...lol...so come back to find out and keep in touch.

I am going to be in a couple of Hops soon! so I will be announcing those as I count down to them...and one is this coming week....The Proverb Woman and I can't wait to share with you what I have discovered! excited about that...

In His Love,
Be Inspired,

Guest Designer - Not today

Hello Friends!

Starting next week I will have guest designers back starting next Tuesday on the 24th and I am excited about it!!! I have already booked up the rest of May and all of June and can't wait for you to meet them...it was a lot of work today to get them set up on the schedule and themes I want them to do for you....you are going to be so inspired!! I promise...these wonderful group of talents will blow your socks off!!

I will be in a few Hops in May and June and in the next few months too...lol...exciting things are happening and I am so proud to pass on the idea of Faithbooking as well...and I will explain more on that tomorrow when I finally show you my mini album that I did for my son based on his favorite scripture...you have to come back and see what that is...I was going to post on here today but it took longer than I thought to set up the schedule and talk to the designers so I will not post a project but wanted to show you what I won a couple of weeks ago and then I will be playing with these in the next few days...it is tough when I am a student studying Lay ministries and pastoral! but I know it will be worth it all once I get everything in order and in a organized schedule eventually to get it more manageable for me to do all the things I love ....but God is my first priority at all times.

You all have a wonderful evening and look at my new stamps and paper I won below and love ya all! :)
In His Love,
Kari

Card day!

Hello Everyone!
Hope you all had a great weekend even if it was rainy...I know it was here and I been under the weather but I still went out with friends and had a great time...

I had trouble with my mini album I wanted to show for my Faithbooking yesterday so I planned on showing that Wed once I correct a few things that didn't work or I didn't like...I am picky and like it to look its best!

Now today I am going to show off some cards I made the last few days...it has been a busy few days...a birthday card, two sympathy cards. I don't like making sympathy cards because they are sad but these are very simple if you need something quick...I will be making more to add to my collection since I am really low on a lot of occasions....need to get back to it this week and I planned doing so.



Well I hope you enjoyed these cards today and come back tomorrow...I am not sure my guest designer will be able to do tomorrow so if not....then I will show some more cards I am making.

Have a wonderful evening friends!
In His Love,
Kari

Scrapbook Page in Honor for My Gramma

Hello Bloggers!

How is everyone doing? I have quite a few things to catch up on as well as the drawing thing to name the winner from the March Craft Month Celebration and then I been off for over a month due to a lot of problems including with my provider but all is resolved and I am back!!! woohoo!

So let's get going today...I have made this scrap page in honor to my gramma who died last year a few days after Thanksgiving in a car accident which was so unexpected... along with her two sisters later who were with her also...but I loved how it turned out and I think she would have been so proud. I love you Gramma and I miss you but I know you are dancing in heaven until we meet again! It was so healing and although I cried it was a release and knowing in my heart that she is with the Lord and that the Lord will get me through.



Let me know what you think! Appreciate all the comments...have a blessed day my friends!

In His Love,
Kari
