Read about our recent visit and we're also guest designers over at....

This week my daughter, Emily & I will be Shawnee's guest designers this week.  We would like to thank Shawnee for asking us to to be her guests.

Emily & I were blessed with the opportunity to meet Shawnee and her family this past weekend in person.  Shawnee and I have been corresponding via the phone, e-mail, and instant messaging over the past year as we both serve on a home-school committee together and we also participate in a on-line Bible study.  

We just wish we lived a little closer to one another.  What am I complaining about...a few hours is better than states, right??

We have been crafting for awhile now, but we are fairly new to the blog world.  We look forward to sharing some creations with you over during the coming week.  We hope that you will stop back during the week and see our cards.

We'd love for you to stop by and visit us @ Shawnee's blog.

Busy in the craft room...

We'll we have been busy in the craft room & learning new things; thanks to the inspiration of some special friends (they know who they are).

Today we will show you our first attempts at our new craft project....altered composition notebooks!  Once one gets them down to a science; they go much faster.  Knowing your measurements help and having your paper cut out ahead of time is helpful too.  *Note- Different brands of notebooks may vary in size.

Recipe for our notebooks:

We used paper we had on hand already,
and we embellished the sides with ribbon and/or paper that we cut out with one of our punches.
