Storage Series - Stampin' Up! Ink Spots
I started this storage project at the September 2017 craft retreat. Then the unthinkable happened so I had to start all over from nothing. I managed to ink my spots with Libby's refills and the few she did not have I used from Shannon's stash. I managed to hand write the colors on sticky note paper and saved the final labeling until the craft retreat I just finished.
I decided to use...
Craft Retreat Coloring project - Special Request
Fellow crafter friend and retreat buddy Libby asked me to color her Cozy Cottage. I said sure, and then she says, but... I want you to color it in a fall or winter theme. I then asked if she would like me to use her Copic markers. She has a very specific set to be used for coloring her favorite items. Her collection doesn't quite fill up a 36 slot Copic case.
I accepted the challenge. I...

Happy Birthday Wood Flowers Card

Today is the only day that I can work on March Paper Pumpkin alternatives thus possibly jeapordizing a second week of participating. So, after completing a set of alternatives I thought I would see if this week's colors were a close...
My First Copic Coloring Book Project - Post Accident
I finally rebuilt a new Copic marker collection. For now I am going to limit myself to the markers I have bought so far. I created a short list of requirements and from that list I built a set of 168 markers.
Once I had the markers I was ready to buy a couple of replacement coloring books. I bought dragon theme books, two of them. This is the first completed project from the book...
Seventeen Year Tenant Moves Out
Prior to hitting the road we were hands-on landlords. It was difficult to be on the road and see the costs for various repairs that we would do if we were home. Budget-wise we have been able to weather some extensive repairs and still pay all the bills. Now that we find ourselves at home, we let the PM handle the day to day repairs. However, it is in our best interest to be involved with...
