Hi sweet friends! How are you this beautiful Saturday? I can't believe it's been almost a week since I posted. I've been busy with deadlines, but will be back soon with some Mystical Memories creations to share.

I made this LO with American Craft's "Dear Lizzy", It's very pastel and the papers are so sweet!






Thanks so visiting! Hugs, Char

It was such a fun but fast weekend! I watched the girls yesterday and Jasmine cracked me up! Here's the scenario.....Jasmine, before we watch the movie please pick up those pretzels on the floor and throw them away. Jasmine said, Jasmine's busy! Grandma said, well then we will just shut off the TV until you pick them up! So a minute goes by and she says, Where's the remotes? And I say...there in my hand....so realizing she lost the conversation she walked over and threw away the pretzels...It took everything I had not to laugh!!They are so cute!

Here's a few sneaks for Moments 2 Remembers March kit. It's such an adorable kit :-) I had fun playing with it





And here's a card I made with Jenni Bowlin everything! I really love those new buttons!




Have a great week!! Hugs, Char

Hi everyone!

I've just been enjoying the wonderful 70 degree weather weve been having. Watched the girls on Friday and just had a great three day weekend. Now it's back to reality lol! Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day? What did you do? I really need to get my scraproom organized!! It's horrible ! But that's not what three day weekends are for are they ?

I wanted to share some wonderful new chipboard products from Magistical Memories! I just adore it all! Here's a few new pieces and you can see the rest here WWW.Magistical Memories.com

I can't wait to get mine! I'm alreay thinking of ways I'm going to use this cute chipboard!

This card crackes me up!! I was thinking the sheep looked naked so I cut and pulled apart some mini flowers to fill him in. Now he looks nice and fluffy!!!

How's every one's week going? I am amazed at all the snow in the east ! How's everyone doing with all this snow? Ive visited some of my friends blogs and can't believe all that snow! I like to visit snow....but I don't want to live in it lol!

Here's a little card I made with Unity stamps and Prima paper. I stamped the tree once and cut out the tree trunk.Then I stamped it again . This time with a different hue of green and cut out some of the leaves to give it color, and then a third time for a different green...and then when I was done I'm like.....i could have just colored in the leaves lol!!!








I made this LO for a challenge over at http://magistical memories.com The challenge was to just use Pink, Red and white....It was fun! Come join us!

My visit to Old Shasta

I went for a much needed drive awhile ago. We had a break in the weather and it was sunny! This town, Old Shasta, and Wiskeytown Lake are about 20 minutes from where I live. I sometimes forget and take for granted the beauty that surrounds Redding. I'm lucky to live here!! I wanted to share this cool old town that has the buildings up from the 1800's. Some of the town is gone from a fire but remments are still up! And the ones that burned down have signs up telling you what was there.



















Have a great week! Hugs, Char

Happy Friday!!!

A happy friday to you! What are your plans this weekend? Are you going to watch the superbowl ? And if so, who are you wanting to win? At work today were having a chili cookoff and the employees vote for the best chili! It's so nice to work at a place that let's the employees do those things!! I'm very lucky :-)! Well whatever your plans....have a wonderful weekend!!


This card was made with Making Memories paper and embellies.




I was waiting for a friend to get off work and sitting in my car..I heard all this racket and looked up there were all these birds evenly spaced sitting on the powerline...had to take a pic :-)

Congrats to Keely Yowler !!!! Please E-mail me at Char4355@yahoo.com. It was so much fun to read everyone's comments! I really hated to pick just one person.....so come back and we will do this again soon :-)

And a BIG thank you for all your thoughts and prayers and for being patient :-) I'm doing O.K. but have a very heavy heart and I'm finding that I can't concentrate. My mind is all over the place. More then usual :-) And I sat down last night and tried to make a card....nothing, blank, Hopefully that will go away soon :-)

I'm so thankful for my wonderful friends!


One more announcment...




I am really excited! I just love chipboard and I am looking forward to joining this wonderful Company, and the awesome ladies on the DT :-)


Have a wonderful day!! Hugs, Char
