Charity Wings Live @ CHA event

So I did this last year and it was soo much fun plus it helps charity. You will be mailed a box full of goodies that you will use in online make n takes. My favorite part was interacting with everyone through a live chat, event the hosts! You will get to see live on air samples of the newest products like you were there, which we all know is not happening for the average shopper at CHA anymore. There are some amazing talented ladies that came on last time and this time there will be a progressive make n take that looks adorable. Check it out @ Charity Wings!

On an off topic Back up your stuff!

About 6 weeks ago my laptop computer died on me. I was devastated as I loooove my computer. I had to do without it for about 2 weeks but now I have it back and am back to surfing the sites from the comfort of anywhere I want. The moral of this story though is if you don't want to lose your things like pictures and bookmarked websites like me then back up your data. Anyone can buy a flash drive, sd card, or external hard drive for under $100 or even under $20 so there is no excuse. There is even a device called a Picture Keeper that is a flash drive that will back up all your pics automatically in like 2 minutes, however I always have 2 backup sources. I only lost like 10 pictures as I try my best to back up everything but this time I got lazy and those pics won't ever come back so today when you finish reading this BACK UP YOUR STUFF!

Did you know?...

GCD Studios has a free downloadable pdf newsletter every month? I love their vintagey papers as their textures are amazing. When I first felt them I thought it felt like some sort of fabric and it had a luxurious shimmer to it. Check out the pdf here:http://www.gcdstudios.com/ under the In the Studios section. The pdf is 7 pages long and filled with techniques, inspiration and news from them.

Cricut circle calling card album

Yeah I'm finally uploading a project I did recently. For the cricut circle when you go to events you make these calling cards and I decided to put mine in an album. I can keep track of what I've done already and what carts I used. I used the Yourstory photo to bind the album and the French manor, four legged friends, and cricut everyday (a club exclusive) to decorate.

Etsy Find

Today I'm spotlighting Stephanie Fizer. She has adorable and whimsical designs that feature beautiful watercolor work. She even has collections like "Alice in Wonderland", "Garden Fairies", and "Japanese Kokeshi Dolls".  I love their colors and she offers a wide variety of products like listpads, prints, calendars and stickers. My favorite items though are her collections of small notebooks (5 in a pack). I carry these everywhere with me as they are perfect for throwing in your purse. I like to write down what I need for craft projects so I'll always have my list with me when I'm at the store.
