It would appear I have hit a speed bump in the road we call life.<br />
<br />
I flew down to Florida the day after Christmas to meet my son and his family. We were to spend three days at disney and then head back to their temporary condo in Georgia. We were to spend New Years together and I would fly back on January 2nd.<br />
<br />
I left Maine in a snowstorm and made it to Jacksonville, Florida where my son met me at the airport. We spent three awesome days at Disney and I had so much fun watching my three year old granddaughter, Anna have the time of her life.<br />
<br />
We drove to Georgia and I enjoyed a few days of unwinding and relaxing at their condo. Steph and I did some shopping and I played with Anna. All to soon it was New Year's Eve and my time with them was coming to an end. Instead of welcoming in the new year, I woke with chest pains and while the clock struck midnight on the new year, I was in the emergency room having a heart attack.<br />
<br />
I didn't make my flight home..instead my husband flew in to savannah and got to the hospital just in time to jump in the ambulance with me and head back to Jacksonville, Florida. the next week is a blur to me. Test confirmed I had a heart attack, but fortunately there was no damage to my heart. Further tests showed I had blockages in five arteries...all between 95 and 99 percent blocked. They were scheduling me for open/heart surgery and five bypasses....<br />
<br />
I have no memories the day of surgery which was January 3rd -through going home on January 7th. In my mind, I had surgery and went home the next day...I had no idea almost four days had passed.<br />
<br />
They ended up just doing a quadruple bypass and not the five...and I'm lucky to have survived this whole experience, especially the surgery. Our God is amazing and I am so very thankful to be here to share this with you all.<br />
<br />
I'm still in Georgia, enjoying my two mile walks each day. I believe The Lord has put me where I am meant to be and that everything that has happened has been part of His divine plan for me. I am missing my hubby, my dogs and my home...the rest of the family and yes, even the Maine winter!!! But, having said all that, I am very thankful for all I have been through. This has been a wakeup call for me and I'm hoping to share more with all of you.<br />
<br />
Life definitely has some curves and bumps in the road we travel...but it's up to us to stop and listen to what The Lord has to say to us and teach us when we stumble and fall...thank God he picked me up and that I listened....for now I will continue to rest in His arms and heal.<br />

My Three Year Old Grandest Daughter, Anna Lee, just loves dinosaurs. Recently I knit her a dinosaur hat that she has been wearing everywhere. She just looks so cute in it, I made one for her 6-year old cousin, Lexi. I will be putting a picture of both the girls in there hats on this page, playing with their dinosaurs! <br />
<br />
I used two files from <a href="http://www.ppbndesigns.com/">Paper Piecings By Nikki.</a> I used the Dino-mite Title and also the coconut trees from the Zoo Animal set.<br />
<br />
Here's a peek at that dinosaur hat I made for Anna. <br />

<br />
This is the first of a two page layout using the new Artbooking cartridge. I absolutely love this cartridge. Not only does it do those really cool overlays (yes, even 12 x 12) but it cuts the mats, the wording - EVERYTHING! I love how this came together. Check back tomorrow for page two!<br />
<br />

Here is the page from the artbooking cartridge that I used. As you can see there are still lots of elements I didn't choose to use and even some that aren't here. The lettering squares were the photo mat cut-outs! Did I mention I LOVE this new cartridge? Wait til you see the mini-albums!!!!<br />

I love making my own background papers with the sentiments on this stamp set. Large or small - they both work well. I used the new alcohol based markers and am pleased with how my first attempts at coloring came out. <br />
<br />
This stamp set can be purchased for just $5.00 with an order of $50 or more in close to my heart products. Here is a look at the whole stamp set.<br />

My second layout, also features a paper piecing file from <a href="http://www.paperpiecingsbynikki.com/">Paper Piecings By Nikki</a> called "Spring Has Sprung". The TeddyBear with umbrella was a freebie on her site - and is now just .50 cents! I used the 'chantilly' paper pack from <a href="http://www.pattiross.ctmh.com/">Close To My Heart</a> again, and added some cute little journalling tags along the edge. I think layout is a favorite of mine!<br />

My Mother-In-Law passed away last year from lung cancer. She was 85 years old and it was the first year she had ever gone fishing. Her care givers bought her a fishing license and took her fishing. I want to put her license and the picture of her fishing on this page.

For my project I have created a recipe book page for an on-going recipe book I have been creating. Not only do I include the recipes, but pictures of the item, pictures of family creating the recipe, and antidotes (family history). I used the "Nuts For You" pattern from Paper Piecings By Nikki. I used my cuddle bug for texture and some popdots for dimension.</div>

As most of you know, I have a slight obsession with yorkies. Two of my yorkie children, Rascal and Biscuit are full-blooded yorkies and my Trixie is a shorky. (shitzu-yorky mix) One of the things I do for them is to make their doggy bone treats from scratch. <br />
<br />
This is the recipe book layout I made for that very recipe. I will add the recipe and my pups pictures and then add this to my book.<br />

This is the second of the albums. I used one "Flirty" paper pack and it made two albums. For the album, I used a mini-album pattern from the Silhouette store - and cut each page out two times. Then I cut the front and back page out using chipboard and my cameo. I dug into my hoard and used lots of fun embellishments, along with embellishments from Close To My Heart. I love that you can use all those little bits and pieces you've saved.<br />

There wasn't any waste with this paper pack. I used every little bit. I stored any scraps I had left over to use when I add the photos and things to the pages! <br />
<br />
If you'd like to take a look at the paper packs that are available - you can see them on my online store<br />

I haven't found a cheaper place to buy supplies anywhere.<br />
<br />
Recently I upgraded my cameo software to the Designer Edition. If you buy from the Silhouette site, you will pay $49. I bought it at Paper Piecings By Nikki store, and only paid $31.50!!!! The up-grade was SO worth it. I can now print and cut svg files so simply! And...blades and mats are cheaper than anywhere else. If you are looking to buy a cameo...Nikki's price is $255.00 Much cheaper than anywhere else!<br />
<br />
This is my first layout made with my upgraded software. I printed it and cut it on textured cardstock and then created this cute layout!<br />
<br />

Happy Valentines Day! Hope you are all enjoying some homemade love. Here in the backwoods of Cornville, Maine (Yes, there is a Cornville) our day is filled with love. Our beautiful Granddaughter, Lexi brought us a box of chocolates and this adorable creation:<br />

I thought this was such a special gift. She made this with her Mom. Now it will become a scrapbook page and one day she will laugh at how small her hands were. <br />
<br />
My wonderful Hubby, who has the best of intentions and very little art ability, went down to my studio and created a valentines for me. I think he did really well!<br />

Here's a peek at my card I made for him using the Close to My Heart January stamp of the month set.<br />

I'm trying to do more with 'coloring' and markers...this came out 'ok' but I can only improve with time.<br />
<br />
What do these all have in common? Well, they were all made from the heart! <br />
<br />
Whether you go to the store and buy expensive things, or you make a card from scraps - Whether you buy into the whole "Valentines Day" holiday or choose to ignore it...I hope you will all take time today to let the people closest to you know they are loved. Just picking up the phone and saying, "I'm thinking of you." can mean the whole world to someone.<br />
<br />
Happy Valentines Day Everyone!!!!!!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> I loved creating this layout - the piecing was so much fun to create. I just love that little cat...even though I am allergic in real life. I have a cameo, and since all of Nikki's piecings come with file extensions for hand cutters, paper piecers, svg's, scal, etc...it's easy to find one that will work with your machine. </span></div>

The new catalog is out and there are so many AWESOME things! One of my favorite things is the paperdoll stamps! YES, I did say Paper Dolls! Here's what I did with them.<br />

This was a layout I did using my new stamps. It was so much fun to create. The images were easy to hand cut and stamped on flesh colored cardstock, it made things come out so good! It was just like being a little girl and playing with my own paper dolls. I can't wait to try this again as a card.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Often I'm asked how I store and manage my digital files - Paperpiecings etc. One of the things I've found most helpful is a <strong>jump drive.</strong> They are very reasonable priced and you can get them in a variety of storage sizes. If you buy from a lot of different companies, you can have a drive for each company. All the files featured here today are from Paper Piecings By Nikki. She is a mega talented artist and I am so honored to be part of her amazing Design Team - Make sure you check out her store at <a href="http://www.paperpiecingsbynikki.com/">www.paperpiecingsbynikki.com</a></span> </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Next, an organizational tool I use is <strong>page protectors.</strong> They are inexpensive and perfect for keeping track of paperpiecing files. Here's a look at mine.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> I simply print out the picture of the whole entire completed file and place that in the page protector...I use a simple jump ring to hold them all together. If I have an extra piecing or two, I place the completed piecing in the protector, also. Seeing what the completed piecing looks like, size, etc....If I need to make another, I know how much to increase or decrease the size of the files. This also gives me a place to make notes about size - color - or even stamp sets I have that compliment these files.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">These are easy to see, easy to retrieve when needed and allows you to just leaf through to see what is available when you are looking for some crafty inspiration. As soon as I purchase a new file, I place it in a page protector...so I never 'forget' that I have something.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The next organization tool I have is a fun one. My husband has bought and paid for much of my crafting tools. Every birthday, special occassion, he gives my sister, Linda, a call and finds out which cartridge - what paper - what special punch or tool I just NEED to have. Because of all the goodies he's bought me over the years, I never ever need to buy a card - or a gift bag - because I simply make them. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My hubby has always like to make me cards for special occassions or simply, 'just because'. But he isn't very crafty! So I have created a <strong>'hubby box".</strong> This is a box where finished piecings go, that I don't have an immediate use for....or just haven't gotten around to using. My grand-daughter Lexi also makes use of this box. Here's what it looks like:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> My sister Linda, bought me this amazing organizational tote for Christmas. It had all of these little plastic holder in it and I've labeled this one "hubby box"...all my extra piecings go in here!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My next tip is my <strong>circles and squares boxes. </strong>I know we all hate to throw away those little scraps after a project is completed, but one of the things I do, is to use my one inch circle and square punches. After completing a project, I go through all my scraps and cut them down to usable size and place them in a container just for scraps...so I have small pieces for when I'm cutting with my cameo - but those that are too small I cut into circles or squares, like this:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Two more containers for my tote! I also have two identical containers for patterned paper circles and squares. The circles are GREAT for individual letters on a layout page....the squares are SUPER to use as a quilted background on a card (Just cover the area with squares and run through your cuttlebug) ALSO.,...if you have run out of popdots and really want something to stand out. Simply fold a square or a circle in half and put behind the piecing you want to stand out...PERFECT until you can get to the store for more pop dots!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My last little organizational tip is for your scraproom table....or where ever you choose to be a creative person. These are my little <strong>candy holders</strong> - I will also be making them for Valentines Day gifts. I used the new Close To My Heart Artiste Cricut Cartridge and the adorable Hugs and Kisses Valentines Bears from Paper Piecings By Nikki....</span><br />

I used Paper Piecings By Nikki's file "Hugs and Kisses Valentines Bear" file. I just love these adorable bears! Since I use the silhouette cameo to cut out all my pieces, I can resize them to what ever size I need. No matter what software or cutting machine you use, PPBN has the file for you. <br />

I hope you are all having a great Thursday. This Thanksgiving, I'm ashamed to say, I forgot to take pictures. Yes...I forgot. "How?" you might ask....well, with cooking and chasing two grandchildren...and well, you get the picture, I simply forgot. But, all is not lost. I still wanted to remember this Thanksgiving, so here is what I did.<br />
