This is a great site. Wonderfully written and lots of tutorials that are fun and doable!
This blog is about trying to remain creative while being a Grammy Nanny to my 3 grandsons. Thank goodness I like to do anything crafty.
Welcome
I am a mom of older children and have noticed that the time has come when I do not have the hustle and bustle of little ones constantly around my feet and life now seems to be a bit of a let down. Well life has changed and now I have more hustle and bustle then ever. I am the Grammy Nanny to my 3 grandsons.
I was savoring the time that was mine and now have to share it with everyone all over again. The growing pains are upon me again and trying to define who I am again. The upside is that I get to cuddle little ones again! I still haven't truly learned to hug myself yet nor to be understanding to my own feelings. Did anyone notice how hard it is to be nice and understanding to yourself? That being said I hope that you will be part of my journey into yet another part of my life.

3 D card started
I learned how to make these 3d cards years ago when I was part of the Navesink Rubber Stampers. I loved this card but it is 2x3. I wanted to make it bigger so this is the first attempt. I just need to paint in the colors. I love the dimension and layering that occurs with this type of card.
Tim Holtz snowflake die
I just watched Tim Holtz's snowflake YouTube video from CHA. This is a great looking die not to mention how easy he makes making rosettes look. He shows them on a wreath and suggests making them into trees. I love that Tim Holtz seems to find multiple uses for most of his dies, carrying them over to many holidays and seasons.
