Weekend Road Trip
The Three Cropeteers were at it again! Jodie, Pam, and I left Friday to go to Violettees Scrapbook Store located in Lakeland, just west of Orlando. What a store! Considering we don’t have a store in Jacksonville, we are excited to find one within driving distance. Our next stop was Kissimmee at the Park Inn Radisson where Stampfest was being held on Saturday. We stayed over so we could be there when the doors opened.

This was a stamper’s dream. Stencils, dies, stamps, and tools, all at our finger tips. That along with thousands (not really, but it felt like it) of ladies. It was so crowded and then there were those on scooters. No room to move and lines to pay 10 people deep.

By 11 am, we were resting outside when Jodie asked if we wanted to go to another store–in TAMPA! Yes!!! Whim So Doodle was amazing!!! I could have spent hours there but since it was a 4-hour drive home, I scanned the aisles. I got so many treasures, all I want to do is play. But I have work to do so it will have to wait until tomorrow.

What a super fun day. Until we scrap again…

Welcome Baby
Make Your Presence Known!
If it were up to me, my car would be covered in unique decals. As it is, I have a Minnie and Mickey looking our the back seat windows. I have some ideas for other decals but haven’t narrowed it down to just a few so it is not so tacky!
You can make any design into a car decal. This one was for a sweet princess who was in a wheelchair.

I particularly like Disney…here are some others I have seen that are super cute.
Show the world who you are but most importantly, take time for yourself. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.


More Craftiness!
This is a gift to a special friend’s God daughter who is getting married. I love float frames for any occasion. I have given them for wedding gifts, baby gifts, and retirement gifts. This one is beach themed because the happy couple’s wedding is beach themed.

Other float frames I have made:
Another favorite “go-to” for gifts is the block light. These are “shower” blocks people use to create a glass wall; individually, they are beautiful lights. I like to spray the blocks first with Krylon Glass Frosting. This prevents the contents of the block (lights) of being seen. There is an opening in the bottom and the blocks come with a plastic cover for this opening. I like the battery operated lights so you put the whole strand inside the block and not fuss with a cord. This block was also beach themed. I finished it with shells and pearls on top.
Wishing the happy couple a lifetime of happiness…beach style.
