More butterflies and a reminder...


Things will be a little different on the blog for the next week or so.  I'll be sure you have a morning email but I will be taking a "family time" break for the wedding and only occasionally checking email, comments and Facebook messages.  I started this blog in 2008 and I've posted every day since January 1, 2009 so there is a lot of information here!  I'll be linking you back to some posts that you may not have seen - especially if you are a new reader of my blog.

The butterflies above are digital images that I extracted from a photo of a piece of embroidery I found at a rummage sale.  You can read the original post from May, 2010 HERE.  I used the Creative Memories StoryBook Creator Plus 3.0 software and now I have a unique digital element that I can add to my pages and projects.


I wanted to remind you that the Creative Memories "DigiWow" Sale is ending today.  You can save 50% on the software (by download) and 30% on content.  Here is a LINK to the sale page on my CM personal website.  There will be an upgrade to the software later this fall and you will need to have the 3.0 version to be able to upgrade.  To get a really good look at the digital content, click HERE to find the index of PDFs for all of the various options.

I am doing a bit of sewing today - finishing up one of the last wedding projects.  When I get back from the wedding I have a couple of fabric projects in mind to make - I wonder how many of you also sew?

  1. I guess you are really getting excited as you get closer to the wedding. It is so wonderful that you can put your personal touch on many of the wedding things. Good luck with all you have to do.

  2. Hope you have most of the wedding projects done and will soon have time to enjoy the festivities! As far as sewing, I used to sew a lot but just recently finished 25 aprons for my GD birthday party. Felt good to get back to another creative project! Enjoy all the wedding celebrations and take time to breathe it all in!

  3. Have a wonderful wedding! Yes, I sew. I just finished 7 pillow covers for my granddaughter and often make costumes or American doll clothes for my youngest granddaughters. But my real love is quilting. I should say piecing, since I make the tops and hire someone to do the actual quilting for me. Just another creative endeavor.

  4. You are so nice to let us know what your plans are! It IS very nice to know that every morning I have a great post from you to read while I drink my morning coffee. However, family comes first! Go have fun! Yes, we will all miss you, but I'm sure I speak for most of us...we want you to take that "family time" break and enjoy your son's wedding! Have a great time and take all the time you need! Of course, this is for selfish reasons: I know there will be many more exciting projects when you return!

  5. I hope you have a great celebration at the wedding. My son bought "the ring" last weekend, so we will be planning and celebrating soon. I sew some too. Make bags and purses, do some blankets for the kids and make pillow tops and covers. My sewing machine is in for service and I am having withdrawal! Have a great wedding!

  6. I am taking my first sewing class in October -- I don't even have my own machine yet. I want to be able to sew on my cards and pages, and attach all those boy scout merit badges!!

  7. My grandmother gave me a Monkey Ward sewing machine with all the bells and whistles when I graduated from high school. It got lots of use over the years with two daughters to sew for. Recently my husband bought me a new one. I haven't mastered it yet because I found a new love and never have time for sewing anymore. My Cricut takes up all of my time now.
