Hi Stampers and Crafters,

Finally after my first post a few years back and with much inspiration from attending the Stampin Up convention in Salt Lake City a few weeks ago, I am hoping to get this blog going....so WELCOME!!

I just finished this CUTE Witching Decor Project Kit from the new 2015 Holiday catalog. Even though you can't order it yet until September 1st, I am going to offer a class in it at my studio on September 9th at 1:00PM or 6:00PM. You will love it and there are even left over pieces to make a card or two on your own. The cost of this class is $26. Beings this class comes in a kit, I will have to pre order it which means I will need your RSVP no later than August 31st with your Pay Pal payment. Let me know...you won't want to miss out on this adorable hat.

The beginning of my Studio

It all started here.

I painted it all myself..walls, woodwork...you name it!!

Finally the cabinets arrived.

The flooring is here!!!

I love the flooring. It is so easy to upkeep.

My son, Nick, hooking up the plumbing.

My punches that I keep on Ikea's bygel rails.

My granite countertop...love it.

I love the upper cabinets. This idea came from Lori Mancini who lives in Canada.

The baskets inside the cupboard came from Thirty One.

I purchased these from Ikea...love love love them.

This is my travel wall. These are canvas pictures that I had made from some of my travels to Italy and Germany. I have many, many more to display.

I spent many, many months planning for my new studio. I got so many ideas from Stampin Up members and spending a ton of time on blogs looking for ideas. I'm posting pictures from the beginning.

Welcome to my blog

Wecome to my Stampin and Scrappin blog. Although I'm not new to blogging....I spend too much time looking for awesome ideas...... this is my first blog that I have created so with lots of patience I am ready to get started. I started scrapbooking several years ago and then in March of 2010, I joined Stampin Up with my sister, Peg Ireland as my upline. Even tho we live miles apart, we have a lot of fun on this adventure.
