Stamping with Cindy Piggott

The Everything A Girl Wants Show and Sale....

So last year I had this crazy idea to organize a shopping/pampering day!  I recruited my sister Anna and she along side with myself organized this wonderful event.  Last years event was overwhelmingly successful and we are even more excited about this years event.  Things are coming together nicely and I am so excited to be able to share the date with you at this time. 

Date:   Sunday, October 18th

Time:  10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Location:  Holiday Inn, Point Edward

Cost:  A free will cash donation at the door.  All proceeds are being donated to the Women's Interval Home.  Last year we were able to donate over $1200.00 to the home and we are really hoping to exceed that goal. 

This is a wonderful organization that sometimes gets over looked.  We are hoping that you can join us on the 18th and make this years event a success.

We will have a great line up of vendors including many new vendors.  Included in the vendors we will have some of wonderful pampering vendors including massage, astrology assessments and many more.  Our shopping vendors are unique and it is really a great way to get a head start on your Christmas shopping.  Be sure to stop by and say hello on the day of the event. 

Book a workshop the day of the event and you will receive a free gift from me as a thank you for making the event such a huge success.

Thanks and see you on the 18th!

I can't believe it but I am actually ready!

I know I have done it again...Sounds like the song right?  I am sorry for not posting regulary but I have been so busy with the Show and Sale that my sister and I host every year.  The Everything A Girl Wants Show and Sale is such a great event but so much work to do.  I love it and can't imagine not doing it.  I have say that I am happy to report that I am very confident with the progress of the show and I think I am actually ready.  Well when I say ready, I mean as a co-organizer not as a vendor.  I think I have some work to do on my vendor stuff but honestly, I thought I would be totally stressed out by now and I am not!  I can't wait to share with you the 2 things that I made today.  One is going to be the door prize at my table and the other is going to be the door prize for other door prize.  I am really happy with how they turned out and I think I will be making more that is for sure. 

I hope that you will come out on Sunday to the Holiday Inn to check out our show/sale.  It is a shopping and pampering day and we have over 30 vendors ready to greet you.  First 100 people through the door get a baggy of great stuff that has a wonderfuly adorable topper made by yours truly.  I was so overwhelmed with the support our vendors made with these baggies.  Lots of great stuff and you are going to love it.

Be sure to stop by and say hello, I would love to see you out!  I will try to be back soon with some pictures of my door prizes!

See you soon!

First Day at Big Boy School!

I made this page very quickly and I will probably end up changing some of it but I have to tell you that I am lovin' the new Digital Studio. It is so quick and easy to use.  My dear MIL is even considering purchasing this and she doesn't touch the computer let alone scrapbooking.  This is some pictures of Owen on his first day at Big Boy School.  His first day on a Big Bouncing Yellow Bus!  Stay tuned for some more!

A Real Beaver Damn and Real Clams?

Okay there is a really great story behind this scrapbook page.  I wanted to keep this page very simple because there is so much on the page already.  Here is the story. One day my FIL was doing some hay back at his sister-in-law's property that we use.  He got off the tractor to throw a branch off to the side and when he got off the tractor h e came across this HUGE beaver damn.  He was so surprised because beavers are not generally in this area.  We were so excited to take the kids down to see this.  The kids had a blast.  When we got right down to the damn, the kids found all sorts of clams that the beavers had been eating.  No wonder the damn was so big, they have been eating in luxury.  One of the pictures on the page is one of the kids touching a live clam!  So cool!  Hope you enjoy the page.  Stay tuned for another page tomorrow!

 

More Decor Elements

Okay, I thought I had posted these pictures earlier but seeing as I haven't been posting lately, I guess I never got around to them.  This is a picture of my garage door before and after.  It took me most of the summer to paint the garage doors and actually I am not even done yet because I still have to do the trim and borders. It really wasn't ideal weather for painting this year!  Well at least I got this much done!  There is always next summer.

Okay, this is the before picture.  Now I removed all the black rectangles for many reasons.  Anway, here is the after picture, what do you think?

I wasn't so sure about the scroll on the bottom but the more I looked at it the more I liked it.  I have gotten a lot of compliments on it so I guess it can't look that bad right?  Stay tuned for another post tomorrow!
