Coffee. Craft. Repeat. Pocket Letter

I am have quite the collection of coffee themed stamps and goodies in my craft room.  Sadly, I don't use them as often as I like.  I follow Coffee Loving Papercrafters on Facebook, they have a lot of great cards posted as well as regularly enabling those of us who like coffee or tea with links to companies that have the most amazing coffee stamps.

I tend to collect my stamps more than actually use them.  A large amount of the stamps here have never been inked until I made this page.

Have a great day!

Playing with Paper Dolls

I loved going to my Nanny's house when I was a little girl because she always had the coolest toys for me there.  My Nanny isn't my grandmother, she's my godmother.  She was like a fairy godmother to a little girl.  When my mom choose her to be my godmother she was just 17 years old with no kids of her own so she showered me with attention and toys.  I am the youngest of five kids, when I was growing up we didn't have a lot of money. So going to my Nanny's house and being the center of attention was the greatest experience for a lonely quiet youngest child.  Since my Nanny was young and didn't have kids of her own, she'd stop whatever she was doing and play with me. On. The. Floor.

While this is common today, when I was growing up it really wasn't the norm. One of my fondest memories is playing with paper dolls at my Nanny's house.  She would buy me books filled with dolls and clothes to cut out.

These tags were created because of that fond memory with my Nanny.   I paper pieced and colored the clothes feeling like a little girl with a new paper doll book.

Prayer Box - Altered Mint Tin

I love re-purposing items that would normally end up in the trash.  In it's previous life this little box was a candy box that I found at Tuesday Morning.

Of course, I ate the candy pieces then I cleaned it out then sat it on the shelf  while I looked for inspiration.   I decided to use it as a prayer box for a swap I participated in.

The paper is from Webster's Pages, it is beautiful shabby chic.  The little flowers are from I Am Roses.
