I was searching for an online printable game board for my Girl Scout troop, and came across this really fun website called http://blissfullydomestic.com/ . There is a section called Blissful Kids that highlights fun rainy day activities and whole other sections of funny anecdotes, and other ideas for all aspects of your home. I look forward to exploring it more!

We’ve had two 2-hour late days so far and today school is closed. I am wondering if we will go back before winter break starts next week. The kids love the snow- we are in the foothills, so typically we get a few extra inches more than everyone down in the valley. Girl scouts was canceled, the show we were going to was canceled, but on the plus side I can stay in my jammies all day if I want and have fun with the kids, and maybe even scrapbook
We had our CTMH club meeting today and we made a really fun cookie sheet calendar. Everyone decorated their squares, we inked up the edges, random stamped numbers in various fonts, and they turned out great! Add a little glitter (or a lot to my husband’s chagrin- glitter was EVERYwhere, especially after the two year old dumped it on the table) and liquid glass, and they looked beautiful!
I’ve been a Close To My Heart consultant now for almost 4 years and I still LOVE it! I have a website for my business, hold clubs and gatherings, and support my scrapbooking and stamping hobby. I am making a pledge today to start posting my creative endeavors and upcoming CTMH events on my blog here. I hope to update my site to include CTMH specials, stamp of the months, and really fun project ideas to get your creative juices flowing.
I also will post my monthly newsletters. Thanks for looking!
A new catalog will be available to customers in just a few short weeks… here is a sneak peek. You are going to LOVE it!
I just had the most “duh” moment in a long time… do you have a cropodile? I have tried it multiple times to punch holes… doesn’t do ANYTHING, no holes, nothing. So, I just notice tonight little adjustable thingies on the sides- THAT is the hole punch part, and the top is the eyelet setter thing. I feel so dumb! I was ready to e-mail the company and say mine was faulty. I got this thing either last x-mas or the one before and NEVER used it. I heard you could punch through anything, and when I couldn’t punch through paper, I thought it was broken. I just punched through my priority mail box like cutting butter. What else can I punch holes in? Maybe my aluminum pop can will be next!
Mental note to self: don’t feed your 19 month old 2 boxes of raisins and 2 ears of corn in a 24 hour period of time. I have changed 4 super stinky, messy diapers already today and it is only 9AM. End of story.
Today I received my new CTMH catalog order, sneak peek September card kit promo that was sent separately, my RYW stamp sets…. AND two scrapbooking magazines (Simple Scrapbooks and CK). AND I found out it was the first day of online registration for CKC Seattle and I registered for a super-fun sounding class taught by Stacy Julian.
Oh my gosh, I don’t think I can handle any more excitement- it is like scrapbook overload. It is almost 10pm here, and I have yet to try out anything or read any of my new stuff. I am most intrigued with the new Card Confidence coffee table book. I thumbed through it and the pages are absolutely gorgeous. I am too tired to play… maybe I will get to tomorrow!!!
