Hello and Happy Hip Hop Thursday!!

and

Happy St. Patty's Day to all you Irish folks out there!
"May flowers always line your path
and sunshine light your day.
May songbirds serenade you
every step along the way.
May a rainbow run beside you
in a sky that's always blue.
And may happiness fill your heart
each day your whole life through."
— Irish Blessing

Above Rubie's Studio

**********************************

I decided for today's projects,

I would get AHEAD (for once!)

with some FUN and BRIGHT

gift cards & birthday cards

With 4 kids and 14 nieces & nephews...

we have Birthday parties

ALL the TIME!

oh HAPPY day...

6 pack of cheerful cards

perfect little gift for a

friend, teacher, thank you...

Unity Kit used: Could I Be Any Cuter

I used up lots of scraps for the paper piecing.

Stitched on denim trim and pop dots add dimension.

Happy Birthday Tags

I stamped these once before and loved them

so much... we made another batch!

**Tip... with this particular image, I only stamped

it once on 4 different scraps of patterned paper...

then cut apart and paper pieced one of the 4 on each cake.

Finish up with a star brad and some yarn to attach to gift bags.

Unity Co-Branded Kit Used: Bella Blvd- Sweet Celebration Birthday

BRIGHT Birthday Wishes...

My assistant, Chloe, helped me create these

fun little cards... she cut out the trees and we used

pop dots to make some of them POP!

SILLY in a HURRY!

Design Team Tuesday... I'm UP!

Good  Morning!

Over on the

Unity Blog...

 it is Design Team Tuesday...

my turn to create something to share with you!

I thought it might be FUN to compile a list of things I like

since I haven't done this in awhile...

actually...

the last concrete list of 101 Things I Love

is from JULY of 2004...

some things are the same...

some things have changed...

 there were a few things on that list

that I didn't even like at all anymore...

INTERESTING.

If you haven't ever done this... you really should.

It freezes a moment in time that shows

 the things/people/events/feelings that are the most special to you

RIGHT NOW...

at this time in your life.

You will appreciate having this in the future.

I promise.

If not for any other specific reason...

just to reminisce and smile at the things that were important to you at that time.

Here is the beginning of my list... some things I love. in no specific order.

I will add to this in the next couple days if I think of anything I forgot.

clean laundry*my flower garden*SUMMER*chocolate malts*my dad's smile*the color GREEN*singing birds*the movie Dirty Dancing*jewelry*lake days*UFC*stamping*fireplaces*my friends*finding a bargain*SUNSHINE*my kids laughter*a clean house*wine* MY COUCH*turtle cheesecake*open windows*MEMORIES*taking photos*baby kittens*old handmade QUILTS* vacations*new haircut*chocolate chip cookie dough*new socks*scrapbooking supplies*ORGANIZING*stories from the past*flowering crab apple trees* GREEN LAKE*good lip gloss* family recipes* QUOTES*Sunday Dinner*snuggling*the Travel channel* bonfires* clean sheets*decorating*BELLY LAUGHS*beautiful SUNSETS*old sweatshirts* my birthday*NAPS*my Kindle*inside jokes with my husband*my neighbors*cooking*my wedding ring*baby pictures of my children*my snakeskin heels*Cherry Limeade*antiques*happy DREAMS*my mom's potato salad*clearance racks*black & white photos*

DO things that make you HAPPY!

every. day.

do not expect people or things to bring you happiness, or you could be disappointed."
