Once a month should not be average : )

I really need to post more than just once a month... It has been crazy! Just working, working, working...but I have been looking for a place to hold a class on the tags that were posted earlier! So hopefully by June we should be learning! Haven't been taking too many pics or much of anything else... I have created a few cards that I really love... and will post pics soon! Hope everyone has a great day/evening : )

Time Flies!

Where does time go????? Wow...I have been busy...working and trying to fit in a little crafting here and there...so far what I have managed to do is some invitations for the twins...it is there 2nd birthday coming up next week...Wow...they are getting so big! I have really been enjoying getting to see them during the week! I didn't take this picture (Mendy gets credit for that) but I did clean it up a little...Photoshop is an amazing thing : )... Mendy said they were singing at the top of their lungs... too precious... I asked M the other day...Are you precious? and he said "Yea, I'm precious." So matter of fact...listen to me...you would think they were mine...sorry : )

Also...some other good news...I finally opened an ETSY store...If you have never been to ETSY...it has got to be one of the coolest things... Everything on ETSY is handmade, vintage or a supply... so if you are ever looking for something and cannot find it...go to ETSY.com ... my store address is http://www.jbyrdiedesigns.etsy.com/ I will be selling finished projects, custom orders, greeting cards and other stuff... I listed a project I completed that I have not posted to the blog... it is a custom recipe book... Enjoy : )

Snow Day....Lazy Day

This is usually a very rare occurrence in West Texas...but...this is the fourth snow this year... I am ready for some sunshine! Jordan and I have been couped up in the house all day...school cancelled...I didn't go to work...It is beautiful (from inside the house)...I only went out long enough to take a couple of pics : ) Tomorrow is supposed to be somewhat warmer...I am so glad I am a southern girl...I would not last up north!

Just before Christmas, I started working on some wood cigar boxes using alcohol inks and a few Tim Holtz products and techniques....I must say Tim Holtz is my hero!! I love his work!! I try and visit his blog on a regular (I have it in my favs to the right..if you want to go there) and am so ready for all the new colors and products to be released for sale here in the US...Since I was home today I even watched Tim on QVC UK...he works so fast!

Anyway...I will be teaching a class on these very soon...still looking for a location! Enjoy!

Hhhhheeeeelllllllooooooooooo!

Is anyone still out there...I know it has been a considerable amount of time... I am not going to bore anyone with all the details over the past three months...let's just say...IT HAS BEEN CRAZY! I am now working for Mendy at the daycare, cooking and loving it... haven't had much time to scrapbook but have been working on Tim Holtz's "12 Tags of Christmas"...and all I can say is OH My!! They are absolutely beautiful and I love them all...but they do take a considerable amount of supplies (which I am working on collecting)... We need to keep that on the down low! I started on my own tags which I will be teaching a class on. We are going to have 2 or 3 small classes...so...I will continue to create...here are three of the tags I have completed...each tag is 6 1/4" x 3 1/8"...which is the same size Tim uses... I have learned so much from his techniques and cannot wait to share! Enjoy!
