Margie! I'm just a girl

http://margieromney-aslett.typepad.com Most of you probably already visit Margie's Blog.

I have been stalking her for a long time. Her blog is one of the first one's I got addicted to.

Margie has more energy than her 4 + 1 children combined. I fell in love with her two boys when she placed a video on her blog of them shaving their heads. So funny! You have to search the archives...........or maybe she'll re-post it..........hint hint.

She's got the dream job of working with Making Memories and always seems to have such a great attitude and outlook on life. She even designed a teeshirt that you can order. Her husband, who also has a great attitude even models it on the blog. I'm tellin ya.........I have a feeling she can get people to do pretty much anything, cause she is just that fun and sweet.

I begged, and I'm not kidding.........I begged her to come to Portland to teach a few classes. The Art House in Portland was ready for her, but a family emergency came up. Don't you hate it when someone has their priorities in the right place? She did however come to Portland for a work event..........and can you believe it................she didn't call! :)

Margie LOVES pink! You can see how it's influenced her home studio workspace.

Love this clock she did. I should do one of these for my scraproom.

Well, because Margie always ends her posts with "kiss kiss" I should probably do the same.

Wendys World Art

http://wendysworldart.blogspot.com/


I just found Wendy today! She left a comment and like I told you, I try to visit every site of each commentor. So come on leave me a comment!!!

I was thinking I should do something a little out of my norm. I love all the cottage stuff and of course the scrapbooking, but I also know that some of you may want a different inspiration at times.

Wendy has such cute designs and I love how she has made a business out of her talent so she can be home with her two toddlers. Two really cute toddlers I might add.

I always think I can paint something on canvas, then there's a rude awakening that happens when I try. Not pretty people. I did paint a treasure map on a large piece of canvas once for my son's room.......you should have seen me sweatin. Basically brown blobs for islands. But my son thinks it's cool and no one see's his room anyway. So it's all good.

Now if I had only known Wendy, I bet she can paint a mean treasure map. She does personalized paintings too. Like the one below. Hey! My Son's name is Lucas! No wonder I chose that one. :)

She also makes some other cute things, but I was focused on the paintings. So go visit her and remember..........tell her I sent you. :)

Amy Mowbray!

http://amymowbray.typepad.com/

If you haven't been to Amy's blog...........go! She has so many resources for everything that needs to be organized. She really needs to be my neighbor, cuz I'm sure she would love to organize my scraproom since I am sure there is not one thing out of place in her house and surely she must be bored.
I love her cards! I'm new to her blog and she could be a hall of famer for all I know..........but I do know I love her cards and layouts. (I know.........I'm really bad at knowing "names" in the scrap industry..........I just know what I like)



Her layouts have such great balance.
Another great card. Such great ideas.
And how can you not fall in love with this layout? Love the buttons, the doodling.... Very very cute.

Amy has so much more on her blog than scrap related stuff. She has a ton of downloadable forms to make your life run smoother. She has a list of blogs for organizing. So much information. Thanks Amy. Wanna come visit?
http://amymowbray.typepad.com/

Hey, Todays Creative Blog readers..............I'm gearing up for a giveaway..........stay tuned. :)

Kandy Kisses

http://kandykissesboutique.typepad.com

I am SO glad I had a boy!

Because I would have had to buy several of these outfits since I can't sew my way out of a paper bag.

I had no idea that little girl fashions were so..........so...........frilly, cute and just down right amazing! I would love a pair of pants like those below..........but somehow I don't think they would look so cute on my behind.
Laurie is a homeschooling mom of 5........Ok, Laurie........when do you have time for everything? Please tell me your kitchen floor is dirty.

Her house is probably perfect too. :)

Her oldest son is graduating from highschool and she made this cool cupcake tower. I want to try this.

She seems like such a cool mom. She has to be cool. How can you not be cool if you're wearing these boots?

Can't wait to see more from her. I bet she is way crafty.

Red Roof!

http://undertheredroof.typepad.com Tin Roof................rusted! .......................You caught me singing that old B52s song. That's what I sing everytime I visit her site.

BINGO! Wouldn't you love a few of these beauties?

You know I don't even know her name and maybe that's the way she likes it, but I love looking at her old family layouts. Now this is what scrapbooking is all about. I am so jealous of the family she came from. They look like such a great group of people. I love the one of her grandmother showing her muscle! You go girl.

Look at that cabinet! Holy cow! I want it.

I love how she altered these coffee cans. That is so creative. Perfect I am thinking for one of those end of the year teacher gifts.

She LOVES glitter. It's everywhere.

Stephanie!

You probably thought I was too exhausted to post tonight didn't you? You can read about my camping trip on my personal blog http://scrap-to-my-lu.blogspot.com Then you'll know just how tired I am. :)
While cruising through my blog list, Stephanies caught my eye because of this bed spring thingy. If it's not a bed spring, let me just say I'm sorry, but it jolted a memory for me, plus it's so dang cute I can hardly wait to try and steal the idea.

The memory and story always sends my husband into hyterical laughter..........he's a city boy. I grew up in Central Oregon. We had just had a house built in the high desert. While moving in, my dad hooked up the TV so us kids would have something to do and hopefully wouldn't be bothering my parents while they were so busy unpacking and such. Well, back in the day, we didn't have cable in Central Oregon, you had to use an antenna..........and my Dad thought he could just prop it up against the house instead of climbing to the roof...........but that didn't work...........so he saw an old pile of stuff.......not uncommon out in the toolies........and one item was an old bed springs...........Yep, he hooked the TV up to it, propped it up and it worked great. So when the channel wouldn't come in clear, one of us would go out and jimmy the springs....maybe that's where my love of vintage decor comes from???.........ahh memories. Maybe I'll tell you about floating down the irrigation ditch in a burnin......not burninG, but burniN barrel someday...... Thanks Stephanie

Oh, that's right, this post is about Stephanie. Not me and my back country ways.........

http://stephaniehowell.blogspot.com

Stephanie has a great scrap style! I love how she does the one photo thing, but seems to really document an important mile stone, event, etc....

She's a busy momma, about to get busier in about 8 months. But for some reason I think she'll be just fine. She seems to have tons of energy and zest for life.

Go check her out. Tell her I sent you. :)

Peace Out

No posts for the weekend, the wilderness is calling my name. Camping time.

Erin at The Vintage Pearl!

http://thevintagepearl.blogspot.com


I don't know exactly how I stumbled upon Erin and her delicous handmade jewelery, but I remember thinking to myself "oooh, I love her stuff........make sure to feature her!"

When I went to find her again, I couldn't find her site anywhere. I searched for a few days. I couldn't remember a name or where I had found her in the first place. Today, she had left me a comment on my personal blog http://scrap-to-my-lu.blogspot.com . I try to respond to all comments and when I clicked on hers and her site popped up I jumped out of my chair. My poor cat Peaches about had a heart attack. I really should move her bed out of my scraproom.

Anyhooooo,

here are a few of Erin's creations.

She sells on ebay and of course Etsy. She has 3 cute little children and a husband that just earned his Masters. Where she finds the time to create is beyond me, but I'm so glad she does. Her son even sold a couple of bracelets that he designed himself on ebay. I may have to break my "no bracelets" rule and wear one of these. (can't stand anything around my wrists..........I must have been tortured in a previous life) :)

I found a few great photos too. I love a photo when it makes me think differently. This is such a cool shot.

And look at these jeans! She made these! Yes she did. She sold them on ebay. What a cute idea.

Amy at Poppy and Ivy!

http://amyhollands.typepad.com
Amy is a doll!
I know, because I met her today! Her store is just as cute. Poppy and Ivy sits on a cute little corner on a hip little street..........NE Alberta in Portland Oregon.
I have been reading Amy's blog for a couple of months and have been meaning to stop in to her shop after one of my classes. Well, today I did. Instead of going home to shower, I showed up all sweaty and smelly. But she has lots of yummy scented candles, so hopefully I didn't stink up the place. Vintage flair mixed with a few new items. The red walls with the shabby white counter sucked me in. I bought a cute wire basket and a couple of candles that she swears by.

She has the most interesting works of art. They have bee's wax over the top. I had never seen this sort of thing. Love them. I want to learn how to do this.
Amy's blog and shop are full of her craftiness. She shares the joys and stresses of owning a little shop and takes you along for the ride. Her blog is a fun read. She's pretty funny. I enjoyed meeting her so much. I felt like we had known each other for a long time.



Look at these cute tags? Darling! She had some others there that she stitched a few buttons on. CUTE! I told her she really needs to sell on Etsy.
I wanted this sconce. I may have to go back and get it.

Autumn with Creative Little Daisy

http://creativelittledaisy.typepad.com

It's time to feature Autumn!
Autumn's blog was one of the first blogs I started to read. I was first drawn in because of her ability to paint furniture. Then as I hung out a while longer, I quickly realized that she was one of the most amazing seamstress' I had have seen. She has no idea how talented she really is. And what kills me, is that she just started sewing a few years ago! She is my inspiration........maybe I too will learn to sew one day.

Love this little clock she altered to go with her re-decorated sewing room.
Look at this stencil she did for this pillow! Such precision. She also did some other art pieces for her living room.
Autumn sells her creations on Etsy. She has such a great variety.
She doesn't stop..............check out this cute little felt number. She must have the patience of a saint. All that stitching. (now you know why I don't sew.........no patience)
And could this apron be any cuter? She has lots and lots of others in different colors and combinations.
She jokes that she has finally made herself a purse. Darling! She also has so many styles of purses. I must figure out which one I want.

Not only can she do crafty things with fabric, but she has a real flair for decorating. Simple, pure, warm.

You know how I love before and after shots. Here's her kitchen......before and after. I love them both. And, yes she painted those chairs.
love the look of all this fabric.


And this! SWEETNESS! This is in her sewing room. My friends would never come over again if I was Autumn, because I would be parading around saying "look, look.......I made this........and this.........oh and there's this and we can't forget this"

But Autumn is so humble, like I said..........she has no idea how talented she is.

Autumn, I know you're kind of shy, but you know I love your style. So I had to share you with everyone else.

Ree with Pioneer Woman

You may have already stumbled across Ree and her wonderful blog. I'm slow sometimes, but I have found her. She has two sites. One is dedicated to all her recipes.

http://www.thepioneerwoman.com

http://www.thepioneerwomancooks.com She's not creative in the same way as most of the gals I have featured..........well maybe she is and she just hasn't shown us that side yet..........or I need to read her archives better...........anywhooo.........she lives on a ranch and seems to be very creative in keeping herself entertained out on the plains. She cooks, she bakes, she works her magic. And she takes mighty fine photos of her creations too.

Cooking can spark that creative switch just like paper crafts sometimes.

I love how she has the step by step instructions WITH PICTURES! I am not much of a cook, but after reading one of her recipes, I actually believe I can do it. I cannot wait to try a few of these. If you have tried them, let me know how they turned out. I know that Becky Novacek (her link is to the right) has made the sandwiches. And if I remember correctly, she said they turned out great.
Ree is another person who is so creative with her writing. Once again, you feel like you've known her your whole life.

I would love to see more photos of her house. I plan to spend a bit more time in the archives to see if she gave us any peeks. Her kitchen looks pretty amazing. I can see she has a BIG stanless steel table for cooking............but I suppose with all that grub she's a fixin' for all them cowboys......she needs a large space.

If you haven't experienced Pioneer Woman, then get ready for a real treat. (no pun intended) She's so funny, it's not uncommon to giggle while visiting her site.

Boy, I'm hungry!

Carole Jansons

http://Carolejansons.blogspot.com

Have you seen her stuff? This 3D stuff............I've said it before..........this is NOT scrapbooking. It can't be.............I mean I do scrapbooking and it doesn't look anything like this. Her layouts are amazing. If I ever created such a layout, I can tell you I'm not shoving it in an album. How could you?

Carole is one of the sweetest gals from Queensland. I would love to hear her accent.

She has been published all over the place............well of course she has. Go visit her blog and be ready to have your socks knocked off.

Tell her I sent you. :)

Layle Koncar!

http://laylekoncar.typepad.com

Layle Koncar is pretty talented.
Yep.......she sure is.
Her talentness........is that a word? Talentness........ I'm gonna use it anyway...............her talentness landed her a job with the Senic Route Paper Co. Love their paper, but that's no surprise. What a great job that would be.


I have a thing for circles, so you know this became one of my favorites when I saw it.

This number layout is just plain amazing. It truely is.

And to really make me green, she went shopping with Sande at Timeless Treasures.She even sews a bit. She doesn't think she's very good, which is rediculous. I would be thrilled to sew like that.

This layout is pretty cute. The real reason I like Layle is that she loves vintage decorating and we have Photo walls that are very much alike. I have a BIG "D" on mine. So see..........maybe we really were separated at birth. We are so much alike. :)
Another example of how she "can't" sew. I love this pillow and if I could sew like that, everyone would be getting one for Christmas.
Her scraproom has lots of details I would love to see in person, or at least more detailed information. (really I'd like to spend a few hours playing there) Can you imagine how much Senic Route stuff she has? Now this is one girl I'd like to be on her birthday list, cause I'm sure she'd pack a basket full of Senic Route goodies just for me. :)

Don't you love the way I dream?

Laura - No Appropriate Behavior

http://www.noappropriatebehavior.blogspot.com

Laura, Laura, Laura. How does one describe Laura? She is colorful, strong, and definitly not afraid to be exactly who she is. Laura sews, scrapbooks, bakes, gardens, and thinks of artsy ways to keep her 2 children entertained. I think one of the ways that Laura is the most creative is her writing. She is extremly candid. Yes, she throws in a few colorful words here and there, but she always brings a smile to my face. She actually makes me giggle out loud from time to time.

Laura has more challenges than 95% of us. She and her son are pretty much allergic to life. She is so creative in creating gluten free recipes and has actually designed another website just to post recipes..........I think she's doing a book too.

I'd like to see more layouts from her, and more home projects.........she's got them going........she's just not sharing right now. :)

One of the funniest things I have ever read are her postings about the lego advent kits she gets every Christmas. She is hilarious. I would never get that much entertainment out of it on my own.
http://www.noappropriatebehavior.blogspot.com

ask and you shall receive

3 questions? That's it? No one wants to know anything else? :)

#1 from my friend Valerie from www.http://gig-harbor-scrapper.blogspot.com asked if I could own any kind of business, what would it be? Hmmmm........I have been down this road before. I owned a Fitness Studio when I first got out of college. It was SO much work. But now that I am a bit more seasoned with a bit more experience under my belt..........Who am I kidding. I am all over the map when it comes to doing what I love. I would love to own a Pilates Studio........but then I would be there all the time.......I would love to own the ultimate scrapbook store with a LARGE cropping area, latte bar, etc............but scrapbook stores have such a hard time being profitable.......I would love to be a photographer and take creative photos of families.........but I don't think anyone is going to hire me with my point and shoot Fuji camera, even if it does have 7 Mega pixels. I would love to have a online stationary business with projects designed by me.

#2 - Sandi from the Wistle shop http://whistlestopcooking.blogspot.com/ asked how could I motivate my non-exerciser friends to exercise.
Well, once I figure out how to motivate myself on weekends to get moving, I'll let you know.
But seriously, it's very hard to keep yourself motivated. I would set a time, like 3 weeks, that you will incorporate exercise for at least 15 min a day. Walking, going to the gym, swimming, etc.... Then usually after 3 weeks, you feel better and you work it in. Exercise really needs to be a part of our daily lives, but exercise doesn't have to look like what you think it is. Basically we just need to USE our bodies.
#3 Linda from Restyled Home http://restyledhome.blogspot.com/ wanted to know about how I organized hanging out my laundry...............ARE YOU KIDDING? I don't even do laundry. Let alone hang it outside. I am lucky enough that my husband does almost all the laundry. We don't have a line. I say hire a housekeeper. :)

Updated for a 4th question from Grover http://grooveygrover.blogspot.com/
She wanted to know what color combinations catch my eye and how do I survive so many fitness classes in one day.
I like pretty much all color combinations. It depends on what I'm using the color for. If it's decor........then probably my tuscan inspired colors. Although if I were a single woman, I would probably go for a very shabby light look. As far as Fitness classes. I teach a variety. So I'm not sweatin hard every class. For example...9am Step (hard) 10am LIFT (lots of coaching, walking around) 11am Aqua (on the deck, only have to execute the move a few times, then coach) So my body is tired, but not as tired as it would be. It's my brain and voice that take a beating.

Q & A

I can't believe tomorrow is June 1st!

If you have kids, then you know how busy crazy you get towards the end of the school year. And if you follow my personal blog, then you know Thursdays are my crazy "teaching 4 fitness classes" day. So my friends.........no new feature today. I could throw one together, but that's no fun.

........I thought I would hold a question and answer session. I've had a few people ask a few questions, or even tag me. So if you have a question for me, fire away. Answers will be posted tomorrow.

Just because I am a visual person, love photos on blogs, I thought I would leave you with this pretty. This table is my most prized possession. The photos were taken the day I bought it at a garage sale for only $200! I have since recovered the chairs with a black and cream toile. The garage sale I bought it from was a BIG neighborhood sale. Very expensive homes. The woman was very eclectic. She told me that my table had been owned by someone famous......she couldn't quite remember, but she thought it was Katherine Hepburn.........she vacationed with so many starlets. That's my story and I'm stickin to it. My husband has since made a leaf that I used for Thanksgiving. It extends to a full 99 inches. LOVE MY TABLE!

Tara at Bella Pink

http://bellapink.typepad.com/Look at this home office/studio! Just look at it! Pretty cool huh? Tara has the sweetest little blog, but it's not that little. There are so many nooks and crannies to weave through, you can be there for hours. She and some friends are featured on a virtual online boutique named Make Mine Pink.
http://www.makeminepink.com You can find all kinds of stuff there. Love all the inspiration. Her little botique is called Bella Pink. Now I don't mean to post sites that sell stuff. I don't get a kick back or discount or credit. I am just amazed at some of the business savvy women we have out there and I am all for supporting a woman with children trying to work at home.


She has been featured in a few magazines. I can't even imagine what that would feel like. Maybe then my Sister inlaw would realize that I actually do have style and I didn't need to shop at Hallmark.........her favorite store.........but we're not talking about my family dynamics are we? :)I love this old door. Her husband found it in an old barn. Found it! That means it was FREE!
I could be wrong, but I think my husband would walk right past this beauty. Then she really has to rub it in and show us different ways she may or will use it in her house. But, wait.............I think she said she had two.

Maybe she wants to see one in my living room? So beautiful.

She even does some scrapping.
Such a sweet site. I can't wait to find more treasures

Meg Duerksen!

I'm back, I'm back!






Today's post is a cute girl named Megan. I found her from posting right here. Her blog is good wholesome family life. I am new to her and I fell in love with her scrap style right away. Very me. It looks like Megan lives in a very old and very cool home. I felt like a peeping Tom looking at the edges of her photos for a better glimpse of this house. Can you see it in the above photo? It looks amazing.........as does she. So come on Meg, give us a full frontal.............of your house that is. (dirty readers, get your mind out of the gutter)


http://megduerksen.typepad.com

Look at this door? And that old clock! Love that chalkboard door idea! Photos like these really have me missing my old 1912 home.

This craft room looks like it has a personality all of it's own. It's quirky, whimsical.......it's alive with creativity. I wouldn't be surprised if this room didn't have a first name.

I love her layouts. They have that simplistic artisic flair.


Her photos are pretty cool. I wish my pine wood derby photo had turned out this good.
Just quickly reading Megan's blog, I could easily see her priorities are in place. Family. She seems like a great mommy who is having the time of her life.

OK Megan, I want to see more of your house. Give it up.

Slacker

I'm off for a couple of days for Memorial Day Weekend. If you come across any creative blogs you think I should know about, please leave me a comment.
Do something creative.......or better yet, buy something creative. :) I bought bandaids today that look like a piece of bacon. I'm not going to show them to my son until that dreaded day he gets hurt. I bet they stop the crying in a snap.
Have a safe and happy weekend!

Funky Finds!

http://www.funkyfinds.blogspot.com

A quick trip to her site will leave you wanting things you never knew existed. This is a great site to be inspired for creating something different or a great site for gift ideas. She is a shopper! I love how she finds items that are off the beaten path. She's got the gift to find that perfect something. She's an original and oh so creative in her shopping................and I found her after she found me. I love that!

Bobbi

Bobbi takes some of the most incredible photos.
www.bybobbi.com

http://www.bobbiandmike.com/blog/
I don't know how she does it, but she knows just when to click it, snap it.....etc.... She captures THAT moment. Now mind you, I am just a scrapbook photographer with my little point and shoot digi camera, so I don't know all the technical terms..........I'm always good for a laugh. :)
Look at this amazing shot! A wedding dress IN THE WATER? Thinking outside the box on that one. Love it.


And these dear people. Are they the cutest dancers you have ever seen? You can tell they had the time of their lives at the wedding. I can almost hear the music.

This is amazing. A shadow shot. Simply beautiful.
And I love it when she shows herself taking a photo. Her husband is also a photographer, so he will sometimes capture a behind the scene shot. Love that. She has so many photos of her with her clients. I can just image how fun she must be. She seems like the Elsie Flannigan of Photography. Don't ya think? Who can resist a baby foot?
And this shot.........yep.......amazing.

The Cottage Gals

http://thecottagegals.blogspot.com

Let's see...........distressed white or black furniture, flee markets, darling old chairs.............I'm sold!

Boy, I sure wish I could find a flee market like that here in the NW. The NW just doesn't know how to throw a flee market............sigh..........

If I am ever in Leesburg Virgina, you better believe I will be visiting The Cottage Gals, Ann and Linda. I love all their displays. They really have a nack........or is it nac............or nak..........or just plain good at creating an attractive display. I can imagine them running their little business together, being the best of friends, taking a break to eat their cucumber sandwiches with sweet tea....spending their afternoons getting dizzy from all the creative stimulation. I wanna play.....can I bring the cookies?Blog readers, they have some fun photos. Go check out their blog and don't forget to find their website too.

Dottie Angel

I finally found my way to my computer...... it's been crazy busy around here.

http://dottieangel.blogspot.com

My feature today is Dottie Angel. I wanted to find something a little different from what I'm usually drawn too. Something that would make me look at things a little differently. I found her. Look what she does with slips? Vintage Slips? Who knew? Did you? And I love all her birdy art. Love it.

I am new to her blog, but I can tell from reading her profile that she is funny, creative and full of life. I haven't met a creative person yet, who isn't full of life. That's what I love most about you all.

Dottie Angel has an etsy shop full of cool stuff. I spent awhile looking at her flicker photos. Creative and fun..........that's her.

Bag tags, pillows.......but she calls them cushions too. Love that.

Cherry Hill Cottage

http://cherryhillcottage.typepad.com

(somehow the comments were turned off...........you can now comment on CherryHill Cottage)


Tina is as sweet as the sweet tea I imagine her serving. Once again, I see myself sitting at her table having a piece of pie. I feel like I have met so many wonderful ladies. I still think we should do a Creative Blogs Luncheon.

Anyway........Tina's Cherry Hill Cottage in Texas is cute cute cute. I love all the toile......pronounced TWall........:) Love how she incorporates all her reds with the black TWall. :) You know how I love red. She is a thrifter, flee market queen and finds the delight in creating something out of the her treasures. I love it when someone can mix several fabric designs and make it work.

I love the idea of a tea cup chandelier with bird seed in it...........CUTE! I may have to try that idea.
Her photos are so inspiring...........I may even clean my house tonight.



Go give Tina some love.........tell her I sent you.
