My morning started out like this…. 

 Knitting, and a cup of Earl Grey tea. My pattern ready to read, as I go.  Aahhh! Such peace….. Then that beautiful, darn  paper kept calling me, to come upstairs. I went through the, one more row, just one more row, regime. Those who knit can relate. And I couldn’t take it any more….So I relented……life is about choices after all. No sooner was I  upstairs, I came up with this collection.  The handmade straws are my fav. 

   
   
I am very excited about this bohemian paper…. It is everything gypsie and colorful! I had no problem creating with this lively,  paper that kept calling me.  You can get your Bohemian paper on June 2nd,  in my Store

The little sour cream container was introduced to me by  Maria Williams, another Stampin up demonstrator during a swap. Here’s a quick rundown on how to make it.

Cut paper to 6″x5″ – use sticky strip or fast fuse to adhere the long sides together and the bottom edge. Fill it with candy, give it a twist and seal the other end. And embellish  as you wish. Again, I have used all stampin’up products to create these items. You can probably find more detailed instructions on YouTube.  Search: sour cream candy holder. 

The little purse is all the craze, right now. You can find the tutorial by Caroline Hallett, a UK Stampin ‘Up demonstrator at: http://www.craftyhallett.co.uk/?p=2809 Enjoy!

I’m ready for the weekend…. Enjoy your family, friends and remember there is always time to create. 

Be happy …and have a happy life crafting!
