New Video Tutorial!!

I just posted a new video tutorial over at the Hen House!! The video shows how to make these super cute candy purses!! Head on over to the The Hen House and check it out!!

An apology, and horn tootin'!!

First off, I want to apologize for the long silence! My computer was giving me fits! I could only get on it for about 5 minutes then it would lock up! I finally got desperate and purchased an external hard drive so I could dump some files to make more room on my computer, thinking that maybe the fact that I had less than 1 GB of space left on it was the problem!! I was able to free up about 25GB of space and it worked for about a day, then started locking up again! I finally got online long enough to find something to download to fix the problem. So far, so good! Now on to tooting a horn! My 11 year old daughter, Madison, is in choir at school and they were able to try out to sing a solo at the spring concert. She tried out along with 22 other kids from grades 6,7, & 8. She is in 6th. They were judged and could receive a score up to 100. She got a 96, the highest score out of all the kids that tried out!!! So, needless to say, she got to sing a solo. (they chose 3 soloists) She chose to sing " Wishing you were somehow here again" from Phantom of the Opera. Just a quick sidenote...all my kids love that movie.....is that normal? Even my 7 year old son loves it and sings all the songs from it! I'm thinking they are a little geeky or something! Anyway, I have a video of her singing!! I know everyone in the world wants to hear her sing!!! The video quality isn't that great, and it is a little hard to hear the piano but, she still sounds great!! LOL So here it is!!! If you want, you can leave her a nice comment!! :)

Fabulous Bags!!!

I wanted to tell you about some FABULOUS bags! I got a bag from Dailywindow and I am in love with it!! The one I got is called the Eight days a week bag! It is nice and roomy! The liner is a gorgeous apple green color (green just happens to be my favorite color!). In Stampin' Up colors, it is close to Green Galore!! I love the white stitching detail too!! There is a nice clear pocket on the front of the bag as well to display your cards!! Here are a couple of pictures of the bag I got, but be sure to go to their website to check out all the other wonderful bags they have! I may have to get the All Around Classic Tote too, then I'd be all set to carry all my supplies to my workshops!! You can click on the link over in my sidebar to go to their site!!! I promise you will love them!!!






Is that not gorgeous???? Now hurry up and order one........a girl can never have too many bags!!!
