And...the Winner is....

The winner is Debra White...Yea!!!  Stop by the LBH to claim your prize.
Thanks for posting & make sure you check out the Front Porch Kits gallery.
The projects are amazing and hopefully they will inspire you.  Easter is around the corner and this little guy would love to follow you home.

I created the "Me & My Peeps" minibook to celebrate Easter. It is an accordian book that you can use as a decoration too.  He is soft and fuzzy and filled with cute mini tags.  The paper line is Peep by We R Memory Keepers.  There are a ton of embellishments that accompany this line and that would make any project pop!
Stop by and check them out.

"hAPPY gO LUCKY"

 Before I show you a sneak peak of my new "Happy Go Lucky" layout that I designed for The Little Blue House, I wanted to show you a few pictures from my recent trip to Quebec City, Canada. My husband has been traveling almost every week to QC for business. For Christmas he surprised me with an invitation to join him for a long weekend to enjoy the Winter Carnival. My gift was presented in the form of a mini scrapbook--yes I am rubbing off on him--actually my sweet daughter Kristen helped him with this task. Very creative folks in QC - the flower garland is made from those insulated windshield covers- guess they don't need them as much as we do in Texas- the second photo is a tree and decorations made from bubble wrap.

The city was amazing and we had such a good time -
So whether it is a winter trip with someone you love - or - the really cute new springish (word??) paper line Lovey Dovey from Bella Blvd made into a layout- both can make you feel "Happy Go Lucky" ... and BTW the names are perfect ...               Circle of Love - Bear Hugs - Sweatheart - Borders 'N Blocks -                     now I just have to decide which pictures I want to put on my layout.

Stop by and see our new projects AND new stuff is arriving daily!!  If you have a minute post what has recently made you feel "HAPPY GO LUCKY"!

Get It Together- Ribbon Organization

Okay now you can see what a mess I had with my ribbon.  It was stored in nice little floss boxes but then I had wider longer lengths and they wouldn't fit.  So I went to another type of ribbon box, baggies and the catch all basket.  Way too many places to look and storage space was becoming an issue.  So last week I converted to Tracy's method and I must say it is great.  Works on all ribbons, laces, twines and flosses.
It does take a little time but you can wind away while catching up on your favorite TV shows.

 Before..





 

After..








It looks so pretty and it is now so easy to pick the perfect ribbon for your projects.

As you can see my little Lily cat was worn out after all the winding...she thought it was play time. Now that you are organized stop by and see all the beautiful ribbons we just received at the LBH.


Whatever method works for you...try and take this step this week and we will see you back at The Little Blue House.
