Bubble Pop eye mask

Here's the latest. This one has an extra layer of dark cotton fabric in the center for better light blockage. Satin on both sides, batting filled for cushiony fit, double elastic straps to hold it in place a little better during the night/nap. Also I made this one with a higher nose bridge because one of the other ones seemed to make a gap on the sides around the nose, letting a little light in. So this one is special. Yes, special.

I love DIY's

I love DIY's. I love them. I want to try every one of them. Anyway, here's a great (and easy) one. And I do have a tip to add on to this. When you cut your foam board, use a brand new blade in your knife, otherwise you may get some jagged spots in the middle core part. And hold it nice and vertical as you cut too, so you don't have angled walls. That said, I think I'll stop by Michaels on my way home and see if they have any foam board so I can give this a try. I have a bathroom suffering from plain walls.

A slice of the woods

Remember a few posts back when I saw the wood slices (for candles to go on top of) at Domino? Well lookie what came in the mail for me! A box full of wood sliced, cut and shipped by my dear old Dad. Mine are a little bit more rustic looking, but very nice. I also once saw something like this where the tops were painted a color, so I may give that a try as well.

An extra little story for anyone killing time... The box was shipped to me, at my address, but showed up at my neighbor's house. This neighbor lives one street down from me, and happens to also be named Christy Cook, and her husband, Chris Cook, was kind enough to bring over the package. Yeah, this is going to be fun.

My First Stamps

My first stamp sets are finally in production and for sale in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini catalog! Mr. Twigster is what we call a "builder". It means you can stamp the string of lights over his arms, or the presents stack on his hands.

Cotton Candy Eye Mask

This one reminds me of cotton candy and circus fun. The red polka-dot side is a nice smooth satin. Elastic band to secure it on your noggin' while you snooze.

New cell number

So I have a new cell number. I was really hesitant about doing this because I've had the same number since I first got a cell phone. I'm sure it's going to be a pain for a little while, but oh well. Gotta do what you gotta do. And no, I'm not going to put the new number up here for the world (and spammers) to see, so you'll have to email me or call my old number to get it (If I haven't sent it to you yet). This is more just to let everyone know in case I miss someone. I'll keep my old number for another 2 weeks, and then it's time to say goodbye. Pin It
