Created some bookmarks using Stampin' Up So Detailed Thinlets Dies . You can buy these on sale in a bundle for a limited time.  This was not my own idea. I found this idea on Pinterest it was shared by  stampwithaltitude.com

  Last week was a very sad time for me. I finally did it, I said goodbye to my shoes with heels. Someone is going to be happy shopping at Goodwill in the near future. I decided to do away with any future risk factors after slipping on linoleum flooring and breaking my kneecap. After fracturing my kneecap, I had to wear a splint and keep my knee immobilized for six weeks. It definetly had changed my way of life. I don’t want to ever go through something like that again. The recovery from a knee fracture seemed to take forever, getting through the stiffness and learning to walk again. Putting up with a limp and walking slow and using a wheelchair at the very beginning then crutches and now a cane. The aches were horrible especially at night and they would wake me up. My plan is to avoid anything that might make me potentially slip or fall in the future. I thought I was invincible and solid and had 100 years before I would ever fall and break any bones. I don’t even cons...

My office / craftroom is full of clutter. I finally decided to re-organize it and paint it. I wasn't sure where to start so I looked through pintrest for ideas and found tons of inspiration. I just never have been the best at interior designing. I tend to lean more towards practicality then cutsie artsy. Here are my before pictures: My new pictures are coming soon! Follow my blog to watch the progress :) I created a Pinterest board titled "Future Office" that I plan to draw ideas from. I already purchased gray paint to repaint the walls, but I'm afraid the color may be to dark. https://www.pinterest.com/germangirlygirl/future-office/ The pictures above are from my previous house. We ended up moving and the whole plan changed...

  It was a nice sunny day at the Lampasas square, and what did I see? I grand opening sign! I being me, had to of course go check it out. Boy, was I glad because this place was fantastic! I didn’t see the name of the place right away, but it’s called Cork & Press.   When I entered, a nice lady asked me if I needed any help and gave me two samples of the delicious silky smooth chocolate that they sell. They were yummy! This nice little establishment has a bookstore with A&M University Press books, Tex-i-talian deli, and Texas-dipped chocolate truffles. They also have Texas wine and olive oils. They store was so welcoming and aesthetic that I decided to stay for lunch and ordered a turkey sandwich with a drink.   While I was waiting for my order I looked around and found three books that I wanted. I thought they would be pricey, but when I turned one of the book around to see the price tag it was only five dollars. I can see myself returning here again. ...

  My journal isn't an ordinary everyday journal, it's mostly used for stress relief or when I just need to relax.  craft I covered an old ledger book with some lattice pattern fabric from Wal-Mart . I like to keep an envelope on the inside front cover of my journals. It's the perfect place to hold small items like stickers.    Challenge All content, including text, photographs, and design are © Stefanie Seaver, unless otherwise posted.

  My super awesome aunt Dagmar invited me along to a stampin' up party today. It was nice to get out of the house and hangout with some other lady adults. Who by the way were all very friendly. Everyone brought a small dish/snack today, I introduced them to my famous cherry delight cobbler.    The hostess April Lopez modeled how to make cards and a adorable little box.  Then she had us make our own cards. They were easy to create, except I had some trouble with the bow. If you want more information about stampin' up I'm sure she would love to help you out. Her email is StampinApril.com.   I enjoyed the company and learning something new and look forward to the next meeting.
