Ok, my find of the day… week… century is Tapeswell. All I have to say is, where have they been all my life!
I found them while searching some envelope wraps. In an age of Facebook, email, and IM… I want to try to remember that sometimes old school is the way to go. So in preparing to send out some cards and such…I thought that I would get some fun envelope wrap. Well.. here it is on a roll in my favorite KRAFT backing. And what joy when I found the roll of woodgrain tape!
Now I admit, I have them in my studio, but I have not used them yet. They are sitting on my desk making me smile. But as soon as I bust into them and make something I will post it of course. Until then, their blog has lots of great ideas. And if you hurry over the all new Scrapbooktrends blog… we have a giveaway so you can win some Tapeswell love of your very own!
Incredibooth is my favorite iPhone app right now. It’s like having a photobooth with you where ever you go!
The images are saved in high res, and are suitable for printing. The strips look greeat printed and in digital pages… I Love this app!
So I have had a few emails asking me if I was ok.. I just disappeared. I am fine, and I am back. In fact, I am more than fine… I was just busy. I have been SWAMPED with work. I have taken on some new projects and I have had to make some priorities. I do wish I could say that my absence was all work and no play since that would such a noble cause. However, I can not. The truth is I have been struggling with addiction. Addiction to my new iPad. I LOVE THIS THING. I have chosen to play with my iPad over sleep, TV, social time.. you name it. But I think that I am ok now. I am back in the land of the living.. with my iPad in tow.
And to celebrate, this week’s giveaway is for all you fellow i-users out there. I am giving away three $10 iTunes gift cards! To win, leave a comment below.

Had such a good time taping the latest episode of Paperclipping roundtable. This week, my product pick is…
Eco Green Crafts Glass Glintz
Glass Glintz are recycled glass embellishments. I use them just as I would rhinestones and other bling. I LOVE how they look with their smooth rounded tops. Reminds me of vintage glass pieces I have used in jewelry making, but much more economical. And they are made from glass that would otherwise be discarded.
supplies: Patterened papers, journaling cards, stickers DeLovely by Cosmo Cricket. Glass Glintz, All purpose Green Glue by Eco Green Crafts. Photo Credit: Candice Stringham
Be sure to visit the Paperclipping Roundtable and listen to this week’s episode! (I’ll put up the link once it goes live)
A couple weekends ago, we spent our Saturday at Timp High watching the girl’s at their end of year Dance Recital. Savannah and Sedona both were involved with Jazz and Ballroom this past year. Their first year in.. it was so fun to see the result of all their hard work. And it was great to see the advanced teams dance… and the inspiration they are to my girls. The day started with rehearsal at 11am and ended with the final show past 10pm. Even after such a long day and the major investment $$$ into the show, costumes, tickets, and classes – we can hardly wait for the next season to start up again!

Mother’s Day was sweet. My dear children all made me wonderful handmade gifts.. all from the heart. I loved all of them. It is amazing how well my girls know me. Savannah gave me a book about us with hand drawn pictures and a whole bunch of coupons for help around the house. (something she knows I often need) Sierra gave me a very sweet note and a pretty flower pen.. one that hopefully I won’t lose now!
Sedona was so excited to give me this book. My little one ended up being terribly ill yesterday, but she still read me the story she wrote and illustrated. Its a book about things that are opposite, and things that are alike between us. Two of my favorite pages…
Obviously we are big soda drinkers…lol. I should work on that.
For the record, I don’t make it a habit of eating a WHOLE chicken…lol.
Gotta love em.
