Miss you

July 13, 2011 by Rebecca Wagner 4 Comments

Here’s just a quick semi-card I made the other day.  “Semi-card” you say?  Yes, it’s not really a decor piece but not quite a whole card.  It doesn’t open, I just added a note on the back and shell.

Jessica from SVG Attic sent me an Adirondack chair .svg file for participating in a weekly challenge. Wanting to see what it looked liked, I opened MTC and cut it out.  It is really a cute file but what would I do with it?  Let’s just say it sat on my desk for a week empty. Then I won the Cape Cod file set from her also.  The lobster jumped out at me.  How adorable can he get?!?

Most of my family still lives in Illinois and me being in Ohio, I don’t get to see them that often.  I have really been missing my nieces lately.  I only got to see them for a few hours when they came through to go to Hilton Head this year.  That’s when this idea came into my head!  The “Miss You” is for the girls, the lobster is for my sister.  I hope when she is enjoying the beach, sun and fun (while I am stuck back in Ol’ Ohio working in the yard) a lobster bites her butt for leaving me here!!  LOL

There was a little yellow bikini laying on the chair but I didn’t realize it feel off before I took the pictures.  On a side note, when I put this together, I thought I was very clever to come up with such a wonderful idea.  Lobster in a chair?   He’s missing you cuz you got up!!  Bahhahahahahahaaha, really I kill myself sometimes!!

I showed this marvelous creation to my youngest son.  It took me half an hour to make him understand the idea I was trying to convey.  Next was the oldest, then my husband, my cousin next.  Yeah, they didn’t get it.  Well, the jokes on them because my cute, little, red friend came in third place!  HA!

    Stupid blogger ate my comment!… I was saying that men don’t get crafter’s humor! 😉 And that your lobster is on a roll… 😉 And I was wondering: how do you mail this??… :-S

    LOL Bee, no they don’t. It’s getting sent by UPS. My sister asked me to make a get well card for her pastor so she mailed me a postage paid envelope. I am going to flatten the chair and send instructions ^__^ My nieces will get a kick out of it, at least until they become teenagers like my boys and then suck the humor out of everything. ;(

So we've been asked about junk journals with divid So we've been asked about junk journals with dividers, and I thought... why not? We had some gorgeous colored paper sitting around and I figured let's see if anybody else wants one.

This is our 5x8 Junk Journal. Handmade right here in Kentucky with colorful paper, printed patterns, white pages, some cardstock, chipboard covers, and a chunky spiral coil. Every single one is a different mix, so no two are alike.

The best part? You can add chipboard tab dividers to organize your sections however you want. Available with or without dividers. Free shipping, always.

Right now it's only in our Etsy shop. Link in bio.

And since I'm already playing with colored paper again... we're seriously thinking about bringing it back for our ring binder and disc-bound planner inserts too. Would you want that? Tell me in the comments.

Meet the Still Here Notepad.
A gentle reset for the days that hurt, when the smallest wins still count.

Because sometimes the most important thing you do all day…

If you have a FFC binder already, we now will have refills for you too!

Foil lovers... we heard you. Since our foil equi Foil lovers... we heard you. 

Since our foil equipment went down, the messages and emails have not stopped. We know how much you love the look and honestly we love it too.

Replacing commercial foil equipment runs into the tens of thousands of dollars and, like a lot of small businesses right now, that's just not realistic. 

After months of testing with our existing setup, we think we found a way to bring foil back.

It's not mass factory perfect. Occasionally there may be a tiny spot where the foil doesn't pull 100%. Nothing obvious, nothing we wouldn't personally use, and nothing that doesn't meet our standards will ship.

But overall? We think it looks pretty gorgeous.

Before we officially bring foil back…

Would you still want it knowing it's handcrafted and not machine perfect? 

Tell me honestly in the comments. Your feedback will decide this one.

Good news: when everything’s written down, at least the chaos is organized.

Pay it. Check it off. Pretend you’re thriving.
