contemplation

I have gone over and over in my mind for months, maybe even years, about having a blog that featured anything but pictures of my family. I didn't want to post with wrong motives. I like to look at other's blogs and observe their creativity and would absolutely hate it if one of my dear friends didn't post every little thing 'cause I would miss way too much of her life.
So I finally decided to post some things that I have been up to and jump into the blogging world.

here goes::

I love to create things I need. I call myself a functional sewer. I am not a huge fan of patterns, I usually just make it and then use it.
I absolutely LOVE colorful things {paper, fabric, pens, ribbon, pictures, the list goes on}, maybe that's why I majored in Graphic Design and had a ton of fun!

My plan:: Share my makings, my thoughts and some everyday life.
{enjoy}

post #8 :: you're invited

one of my favorite things over the years has been to make the invitations to my kiddos birthday parties...
many-a-night spent hunched over a table or stool while punching, pasting and sticking things for their invites and then add one to their baby book

here is one of my favorites...

 I have neither tons of time nor tons of money so I take my bit of creativity, with a smidge of input from the kiddo and get two or three cute papers from the craft store, cut them up and past away.
 I also totally love brads so I try to add some bling with those
I picked some cute fonts, some cute words and printed this on my home printer on vellum and affixed them with those cute crystal brads
 they didn't look quite finished so I got out some cute stamps, 
some plain 'ol craft paint and added a "k" for Kirra
then I added a few silver dots along the side of her letter
