This is such a fantastic idea from Creative Carmella. Paint circles with an empty toilet paper roll! I cannot wait to try this... it will make great background papers!

Roast Beef Sliders
These roast beef sliders are so yummy!! I found the recipe over at Plain Chicken, and I have made them a couple of times now. I'll admit I cheated though and used store bought chipotle mayo. I serve them with a side of steamed broccoli, and dinner is a hit. I think the kids like it that the sandwiches are on the smaller side.
So break out the slow cooker and let it do the cooking for you. Can you tell I love my crock pot?

Extreme Paper-Piecing
My favorite thing about scrapbooking is definitely paper-piecing. I'll admit glitter definitely comes in a close second... after all, who doesn't like sparkly things???
So after playing around on Pinterest doing an extensive search of the internet, here are some of my favorite "extreme" works of paper-piecing art, also known as paper sculptures.
Alice in Wonderland by Cheong-ah Hwang
The Look of Love by Helen Musselwhite
Little Red Riding Hood by Elsa Mora

I love you because...
I love you because....
I think this is such a cute idea! A Content Housewife gives an easy tutorial to make this little message board. How sweet to leave messages to your hubby or kids, and for them to leave one back to you!

What a relief... I'm not crazy!
I've always thought that all of us crafters were at least a little crazy, but come to find out.... not so much!
According to a recent book...
...certain career fields attract more psychos than others. "Craftsperson" (i.e. scrapbooker!) is actually the 4th LEAST likely to attract psychopaths!
...certain career fields attract more psychos than others. "Craftsperson" (i.e. scrapbooker!) is actually the 4th LEAST likely to attract psychopaths!
Yep, there it is!
Of course, maybe we are just better at hiding it... or they haven't met the right ones yet. After all, we have all definitely met that one or two out there... you know who I'm talking about. The ones you just nod your head and slowly back away.
Here are the top 10 fields most likely to attract psychopaths, and the fields that are the least likely.

1. CEO
2: Lawyer
3: Media (Television/Radio)
4: Salesperson
5: Surgeon
6: Journalist
7: Police Officer
8: Clergy Person
9: Chef
10: Civil Servant
Lowest Rates of Psychopathy:
1: Care Aide
2: Nurse
3: Therapist
4: Craftsperson
5: Beautician/Stylist
6: Charity Worker
7: Teacher
8: Creative Artist
9: Doctor
10: Accountant

Embellishment Sets
I was looking through our embellishments today, and realized that a lot of them would make really good sets. So, I went through and grouped some of them together, and gave them a little discount. Head over to our embellishment section and take a look. I'm sure there are other groupings that I am missing, so let me know which ones you would use together.

Korean Style Short Ribs
Ok, its time for another delicious dinner that cooks itself, so you have an extra hour or so to work on your latest scrapbooking project.
I have made these Korean style short ribs from What's Cookin' Chicago a couple of times now, and we all love them! They are super easy to throw together in the morning, and they smell awesome as they cook all day. All you need to do us steam up some broccoli and rice right before you are ready to eat, and you have a complete dinner ready to go.
Bon Appetit!
Bon Appetit!

Pursonal Style
I have always liked shopping at small businesses. Now being one myself, I realize even more just how important it is. So when I come across an awesome small company, I want everyone else to know about it too!
I was looking for a new portable office (i.e. shoulder bag) and came across this little handmade beauty in an online shop called Pursonal Style...
Isn't it pretty? It was love at first sight.
I ordered it, and it shipped the very next day. When I got it and opened the box, this is what I found...

Yes, it was wrapped like a present! I was already excited to get the package, but that just made it 10 times better!
The bag is absolutely beautiful! The quality of work is outstanding and the stitching on it is perfect! I love that it has the little pocket in front, which is perfect for my phone and keys. There are also two pockets inside to hold smaller items, one of which closes with a button so it's more private and secure.
So, if you are looking for a new bag, or just like looking, go over to Pursonal Style!
P.S. I am not being paid in any way, shape or form to endorse this business. I just had a wonderful experience, got a great product and wanted to share it with everyone!

Snowflakes
There is nothing quite like sitting curled up in front of the window, with the snow falling outside. All cozy with a fire in the fireplace and a cup of hot chocolate...
Oh wait...
I live in San Diego. I've never sat at the window watching the snow! I have a really good imagination though, and I think it would be lovely.
I do have a thing for snowflakes though, and this is one of my favorite layouts. Maybe I need to take a trip up to the mountains to take some pictures, and maybe get some of that hot chocolate!
