I'm a GLEEK!

I am such a Glee fan and I'm not ashamed to say it.
Tonight is the season premier and I am so excited.
I am so glad they got moved to Tuesday nights too.
Last season I had to jockey from room to room to be able to watch all of my favorites that were on at the same time. It was almost like exercise. Yuk!
So, go enjoy some good clean Glee!

Baby Gifts

I am finally getting to the end of my baby gifts for my one year old nieces and nephew. I have worked so hard on these cute little things. I had no idea that the stacking toy would be so difficult to make. It sure did turn out cute though! And look at the ruffles on the butt of the girl’s onesies. I love them and I am sure they will too. Now it’s time to do some paper crafting.

Yoyo Yellow, so sad to see you go. NOT!

Anyone who knows me knows that my least favorite Stampin’ Up! color is Yoyo Yellow. That’s why I am not sad to see it go.

Today Stampin' Up! announced we are getting a new Color renovation.

ONLY THREE DAYS LEFT! OH MY!!

Did you realize that there are only 3 days left to order from the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Mini Catalog? Wow! Time sure does fly! That also means that there are only 3 days left of Sale-A-Bration.

Many of us Stampin’ Up! junkies wait all year for Sale-A-Bration. For that wonderful time of year when we get something for free for every $50.00 purchase.

It is almost as eventful as the daffodils poking through ground to welcome another beautiful spring season. Well, OK, that’s going a bit too far. But it is eventful and it is almost over.

So, before it’s all over, contact me or click on the photo below to go to my website and place an order.

What did YOU do today?

Today was Family Fun Day at our softball fields so, I spent the day with some of the best kids I know! This was one of our fundraisers so I painted faces for the kids. I always have lots of fun with the kids when I am doing the face painting. They always come up with some different ideas than what I have samples of. This time I was prepared with my camera and got some shots of the original ones.

Those are some happy kiddos! I love the little guy with half Spiderman and half Batman.
Have a great weekend! XO, Mimi

Ask, and you shall receive

The other day, I asked my Mother in law if she had a heavy duty sewing machine that I could use. I have been wanting to do some fun stuff with denim and don’t want to hurt my every day machine with the heavy duty work. Low and behold, this is what I got. It is awesome. It is a Singer 301 and just what I needed. So, when I went to her house to pick up my new toy, I told her I had just bought a couple rolls of thread. Well, she was not happy to hear that and she took me to the sewing closet and had me go thru her thread where I found this. It’s jeans thread! While playing in the closet, she started pulling out these. They are bias tapes, trims, rick racks, and much more. I thought I had died and gone to heaven! Look at all those goodies! Yummy! 


Just in time for my new patterns that I picked up. Aren’t they darling? They are for my Nieces and nephew. They turn one in April and I want to make them some gifts of love from Aunt Mimi. Also, my Mom went to Goodwill last week and got me these beautiful sheets. I love floral sheets. I use them for the yardage to make tablecloths for the studio tables. 6 foot round tablecloths are hard to find and expensive and are never as pretty as these.

Well, that’s all I got for ya today. Gotta go get ready to work out. Thanks for stopping by! XO, Mimi

Mom and Me Workshop for March

  

 

 

We had so much fun on Saturday with the Mom and Me workshop.

We made these great little Easter candy trees.

I love how each of the kids added their own unique style and some of them even let Mom help with the project! LOL!

I try to make the projects just a little too difficult for the kids to do on their own so they need Moms help. That way it is truly a team effort.

Next month we will focus on Mother’s Day. So, that’s gonna be a little tricky. Maybe I will be able to convince Dad to come just this once. Hmmm. Gonna have to work on that.

A Huge Success!

Sorry the pictures are so all over the place. I have not figured out how to work the Blogger posting photos.

Our Cards4Cancer Event was a huge success. We donated over 400 unique cards. Some were made on Sunday and some were dropped off and donated by people who couldn't stay and play but wanted to help cheer up some sick people.
If you were not able to come, and still want to help, we are still taking donations till the end of the month. So, do what I did, go through cards that you have already made and have sitting around collecting dust and donate them to a worthy cause.
Here are some pics from Sunday.

Cards 4 Cancer

Today is the big day at The Studio. We are making lots of Cards 4 Cancer to be sent to cancer patients. I hope the rainy weather dosn't keep anyone away.

I NEED your help!

I am hosting a Cards for Cancer event at my studio on Sunday, March 21st.
Yes, that is a week from today.
The event runs from 10 AM to 6 PM.
We will have food and beverages and my studio will be set up like a card making buffet.
You can come over any time during those hours and stay for as long or as little as you like and make as many cards as you can.
The cards will be sent to our team leader who will take them to a cancer treatment center to help cheer up some very deserving people.
I have lots of supplies that I am donating for the event.
It should be lots of fun and think of all of the people we will be cheering up.
If you are in the area of North Port, Fl and would like to come but don't know where the studio is, please email me and I will get back to you.
Please come and have fun with us and help people at the same time.
Thanks friends! XO, Mimi
