Long time no post

Hello all, it has been a few months since I have posted.  Seems my life has been in a constant upheaval.  My company decided to contract out our entire accounting department so I have been spending all my time applying and interviewing for jobs.  I kind of lost my desire and mojo to create.  Thank you to my readers that have stuck around and for those of you that sent me a personal note to check up on me.  I appreciate all of you!

I recently created some stuff for a craft show and it lit a creative fire under me!  I'm excited to share some ideas with you.  I created a little nugget box and am working on the step by step instructions for you.  Watch for it this week.  It can be adapted to any design you want.  All you need is a paper cutter and score board and you are set!

To jump start the day, I wanted to share some cool ideas I discovered while surfing the net recently.  I see so many of you are still diligently creating.  I recently purchased new punches from Stampin' Up!  They retired some of my favorites and I'm pretty bummed, but this just forces me to create some new ideas with the new punches!
