The Greatest of these is Love

Flameless Candles

 I recently joined the world of flameless candles. Yes I've used the little votive ones a few times, but after a customer told me about these wonderful flameless candles with a timer. I had to give them a try. They come in two sizes, and two colors. White or off white, and the off white are vanilla bean scented. Then the best part of all install 3 AAA batteries set the switch to 6h at the time you want them to come on every night and enjoy them every evening when the sun goes down.
 
The timer allows your candle to stay on for six hours, automatically turn off for 18 come back on for six! These are genius. We have a hallway that is a little dark in the winter months, no power outlet anywhere near. Turn these on at 5:00 the first night, and now every night at 5 they come on and go off at 11:00!

His Love

Shadow Box Frame

I was recently shopping in Ben Franklin and seen this wonderful little box transformed into a great shadow box. I love easy inspirational projects that I can Tweak to make my own. As soon as I seen it, I notice the little stamp under it and knew this was a Tweak for me.

Gift Tags

Gift Tags

 
This time of year is a reminder that we will have more than usual reasons to gift others. I've posted before I love to find reasons to gift and having gift tags on hand make that even easier. Also I love to decorate the house for Thanksgiving with the festive looking Christmas packages lining the rooms...So prepping for Christmas tags is now...

Project Albums

Project Albums
 
Sometime it's nice to have a place to display photos of projects without a story or tutorial, or anything else. So I created the first Album so that pics can be viewed. Enjoy, ask questions if you have them.

Personalized House Warming Gift!




Home is where the heart is...

A fellow worker recently moved into a new house and even though it may not be an actual house warming party. I find it nearly impossible to drop in without it. So I made her a little tag. To go with her little gift.

The Resources

The Tag card basic design is SVGCUTS.com http://svgcuts.com/ Attic Treasures, Tag Card
 
The personalized inside greeting is home is where the heart is vinyl by Jennifer Wambach              the original art was a little differently laid out, so  I quickly ungrouped and rearranged to the space I needed for this little card tag.

Daily Life Recipe

Into Each Day Put: 


I have discovered it is important to surround myself with things that remind me of great things/times. So when a bad day creeps in I can ward it off with things around me. Chronic migraines tend to overwhelm me. (This is not a med blog, just FYI, these are managed, and I work with a neurologist)
So I find when I cannot leave my darkened bedroom for a few days and can barely get up to fix food. I need something in those areas to remind me to live 'today'.

This fun little saying seemed the perfect thing to put just above the stove in the kitchen. The fun fonts were all done in the Silhouette DE software.

Attitude of Gratitude

Fall into an Attitude of Gratitude

 
 
I struggle with debilitating migraines often leaving me not very capable of reasonable communication. Creating the necessity to have a fabulous pharmacy crew, physician, specialist and great people in my life that help me when I cannot reasonably take care of myself.
 
So being grateful is not only important, but a true sense. Recently my pharmacy crew was 'very' helpful and this little basket says it all. "I cannot say it enough" and then one dozen thank you's.
