I GOT AN AWARD! WOO HOO!

Bunny... THANK YOU! This is sooooo nice!

Ok y'all! Bunny over at Konad & Me tagged me for this award and I'm speechless!!! This is just so incredibly nice, especially coming from someone whose blog inspires ME! :)

So I'm supposed to tag 10 of my favorite blogs, so here-goes (it's going to be SO HARD to keep it to JUST 10)!

The Sunny Raw Kitchen - Amazing content! What a great writer too. All of her content is also accompanied with Amazing photos as well. But those recipes.... :)

Cutting Above - For any crafter/artist looking for how-to's and inspiration... this is just a great site. They will ALWAYS be one of my loved blogs.... they gave me my Gypsy! :)

Casual Lavish - Aside from being one of the most friendly bloggers I've had the chance to talk with, Vanessa over at Casual Lavish gives some pretty great review (honest reviews) of some pretty great products. She has introduced me to SO MANY new things! This is just a great all-around beauty site! :)

Chalene Johnson's Blog - She is my all time favorite DVD exercise instructor!!!! I also LOVE her vlogs. If you're looking to get fit with a TON OF FUN, check out Chalene's Turbo Jam workout DVD's and then head over to her blog for tons of info and tons of laughs!!! :)

Cricutters Anonymous - One of the things that I LOVE is crafting/scrapping... this is a WONDERFUL site for inspiration and projects! :)

Kandee The Make-up Artist - I just LOVE her blogs and the videos she posts. If you ever get a moment to check out her wedding make-up video, it is a MUST SEE for anyone who wants PERFECT make-up! :) She's also gorgeous inside and out. I SO wanna be Kandee when I grow up! hahahahaha! :)

Nail Addicts Anonymous - my nails are my obsession! I used to be a nail biter, so having nails and making them look pretty after spending my WHOLE LIFE with dreadful nails... well, it's like crack. I'm serious! And it's people like the wonderful girls at Nail Addicts Anonymous that remind me that I'm not alone. It helps that their pics are out of this world with polish swatches and manis that make me want to run and buy stock in nail polish remover!!! This is definitely one of my new faves! :)

Polish and Powder - Again... another source of enabling... uh, I mean inspiration for my nails! :)

Tuesday Treats - This blog is a MUST FOLLOW for any crafter who owns a Gypsy. The ladies who started this blog have a PASSION for creating the most amazing crafts. This is a new favorite that I hope to be a part of VERY SOON!!! :)

Konad & Me - Ok, so as I mentioned before Bunny's blog inspires me! If you are looking for some amazing ideas for nail art from someone who has GORGEOUS nails and BRILLIANT ideas, then THIS is the blog for you. Also, anyone new to the world of Konad can really benefit because she posts VERY regularly and ALWAYS on Konad Nail Art! :)

Welp, there's 10. I WISH I could tag 30! Thanx again for this award Bunny! You made my night, hence all the smiley faces! hahahahahahahaha! :)

Past 7 Days....

Gorgous Leaves Bundle Revisited

Yestday's Freebie Friday on a Monday projects were so fun and this set is SO BEAUTIFUL in it's simplicity!  It reminds me of a long-retired stamp set from Stampin Up!.  I was inspired to re-create the projects that I made with it once upon a time.  So here we go.... SIMPLE projects when you need a quick "hello" or an even quicker heartfelt sympathy card: I was DEFINITELY on a Bumblebee and Cajun Craze kick yesterday!  I can't stop/won't stop!  LOL!  To be fair... I had extra leaves die cut and didn't want anything to go to waste!  A quick speckle backdrop in Bumblebee then a quick "hello" greeting from the Biggest Wish in Cajun Craze with the Cajun Craze leaf popped up on a Basic White cardbase.  PERFECTION! Okay, as with yesterday's projects, the sentiment is from the recently retired SAB Delicate Dahlia's set, but you could use ANY sympathy sentiment you have in your stash.  Unlike in the past when I had to mask off the center rectangle...

Maple Syrup vs. Honey

I did a post a while back about the nutritious sweetener for the lemonade on the Master Cleanse: maple syrup ! In fact, for quite some time now it has been my only sweetner (well, that and agave nectar... YUM!). But why maple syrup... isn't honey the magical sweetener? First, let's consider where both come from. One comes from a tree and the other comes from flowers, but is predigested and then regurgitated by a bee. Can you guess which is which??? hahahaha ! Really though, just the idea that an insect's already digested nectar from a flower lends to the idea that the nectar is already devoid of nutrients when it's vomited back up. Isn't that the whole point of digestion? To pull the nutrients from whatever it is you have ingested. So is it safe to say that honey is a bi product ? Or even a waste material? I would certainly call MY vomit a waste material... what about you? But beyond the gross visual I now have in my head of honey, I also have a real concern about ...

BACK To Halloween.... WHEW!

Okay... BACK to Halloween gifting this week!  We're makin more goody boxes using The Cutest Halloween Bundle again this week, we are also featuring the tags and labels dies from the July - December 2021 Mini Catalog (lovingly dubbed "the holiday mini").  I've got to admit, this bundle really is the cutest and I'm having SOOOO much fun playing with it simply because of how easy it is to work with.  The fact that the punch ALSO punches out the images from the DSP makes this one a super-huge winner for me.  I mean.... three goody projects in under an hour!?!  That's right!  This week's Freebie Friday On A Monday was actually recorded in under 40 minutes!  SO DOABLE to get ready for Halloween gifting!  As always, the link to the free PDF with supplies used and measurements is below the last pic and if you place a $35 or more from my online store (click "Shop With Me" in the banner at the top of this blog) using this week's Host/Hostess code  GHRG...
