Throwback Thursday: Tacks

On November 10, 2010, I sold my very first set of Diamond Thumb Tacks.

I can't believe it was so long ago. I still get excited when someone purchases them!

See the differences? Ha ha ha. I'm definitely taking better pictures. Lighting is key :)

For fun and because I LOVE to see changes, share a craft from back then and one from now.

New Season, New Things . . .

Sparkle & smile - It's Spring! And I have been feeling the joy of it.

Perhaps, that's why I'm a little obsessed with yellow right now?!

My inspiration was the sunshine that I am soaking up - Sorry for those that aren't as lucky!

This lovely weather has pushed me to try new things, including digital arts & crafts.

Are you on a new journey? I'd love to hear about your creative or not-so creative adventures.

Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue . . .

Roses are red, violets are blue . . . a poem that starts with this typically ends with an expression of love. Unless you like to be snarky, but we won't go that route - Ha! If you enjoy giving gifts, let roses & violets inspire you to choose one for your loved one.

Have you already gotten ready for the big LOVE day? If not, now is the time. Please don't be a procrastinator. It's just not the thing to do if you celebrate this day with your love. Otherwise, you end up giving a crappy card, boring box of chocolates, and not-so-fresh flowers.
