Home Sweet Home. Here's our new house in progress. The outside is now ready for paint, and they just painted all the walls inside a gorgeous soft butter/wheat color. The stair rail is in and stained, and the cabinets are sitting in the garage just waiting to be installed. So exciting! The picture of Emily and me was taken in her bedroom. She has really loved getting to visit her future room in all of the different stages. I can't wait to paint some girly colors in there for her - that's always my favorite room to decorate because she just gets soooooo excited about it. Less than 2 months to go now!!!

I made this TinkerBell wall hanging for Emily's room with my brand new TinkerBell cartridge. Thank you, Michael's for such an awesome sale. Woohoo!! I can't wait to do more designing with this cart - it has so much on it!

Tuesday, November 18th from 6pm-9pm, I will hold this this Stampin' Up! class here at my home in Rocklin. You will create a variety of Christmas cards and tags, and even a hanging photo ornament. I will also include envelopes for the cards. Some of these are my original designs, and some are from the various Stampin' Up! idea books. The gorgeous Christmas tag on the left was actually originally designed by Mary Pickett, and only very slightly altered by me. You can see her blog here:
