Memories shared

I have said this a few times, whether in type or by word of mouth but it seems that any time I get to craft is when I am asked to help do something for someone else.  I love this.  Twist my arm and make me be creative.  Whether its handouts for a class or helping a neighbor create her Christmas gifts it gives me the excuse.  Last week my sweet Grandmother passed away, quite quickly actually.  My mother asked me, "since I do that sort of thing", lol, to collect pictures of our family with grandma and put them on a poster board.  Well I had thousands of pictures to sift through and only 2 days to get it together but I did create something somewhat presentable I think.  I was grateful that I had ordered the Clementine paper kit on a whim and had it on hand, it worked perfectly.
Hope this gives you some creative inspiration next time you are under the clock ;)

My Grandmother loved clocks, she had more than we could count all over her house.  She also loved birds.  So I incorporated those memories in as well.  I loved having all of the supplies on hand for such project.  It made me happy.

And the new year begins!

Getting the house tidied after a busy Holiday season.  Then its off to the craft room and I hope to have something to share.  These Valentine goodies are on the top of  my list.  I think they will be great teacher gifts when filled with school supplies!  So fun.  Check the whole kit out on my website.
I still have tons of scrapbooking to do but also have a baby on the way and hope to add a few touches to his room before he comes.  Good luck to me.
I hope you find some time and some creative inspiration during these cold winter months!

Have a Wicked Halloween

I haven't been feeling especially well lately but had this really cute wood project that I really hated to leave for next year.  So I was braver than expected and had my children help me get it done.  My daughter especially was ecstatic.  I need to let them help more often and not be concerned with a "perfect"  project.
And here we go...

 Purchase this little pile of wood from a local wood cut craft type store:)

 Set the kids to work painting.  I did double check for paint blobs or runs, they did pretty good.

Finished project.  I used Moonlight paper Kit -item x7161B and modge podge to cover a few pieces.  I love this paper kit, very classic Halloween.  Realizing that a couple of my letters were a bit blah, I stamped a few Halloween images on them.  I think I like it, the spider and webs on the c are my fave.  As well as the fluff on the hat.

 Over all I love it.  Its not perfect but the memory of my children helping in the creation process was priceless.

Hopefully you get to use some of your creative juices this holiday season.  If you would like to share what you've done please post a pic on my facebook page  -- facebook.com/jlynnscreativeitch.  Thank you!

                          Happy Halloween!

Got some great suggestions for my craft room remodel.  Do you have a theme for yours?  If not you may want to go trendy and use the Chevron symbol.  Its whats hot!  Start little and go big, start with this double D stamp set, celebrating National Stamp Month (September).  Yours for $5 with only a $35 purchase!  These are one of my favorite specials of the year.

Work Space

I have seen ladies post pictures of their beautiful and efficient work spaces.  I think of mine and chuckle.  I love it. But I have come to the realization that the story is almost at its conclusion and at that point Twilight Corner will probably get a make over.  Not sure what my "theme" will be but its rattling around in my head.  Any suggestions?
