This month I decided to create some easy but adorable treats to pass out for St. Patrick's Day! Miss Kate Cuttables has so many cute St. Patty Day images it was hard to choose but I ultimately came up with this cutie!

I added some googly eyes and adhered a dum dum on the backs with a glue dot. These treats are ready to be shared with my crafty friends at the St. Patty's Day crop!

I can't thank you enough for checking out my project. It means the world to me and I hope you truly enjoyed it. May it inspire you to create something wonderful!   Scrappy Hugs!

Question Of The Week

Pin It

It's that time again!!

Remember.. I want you to answer the question

 in the comment section too!

AND

if you have a question to ask for an upcoming week add that in the comments too, if you ask a question and I use it you will win a prize!!

Here is today's question!!

-What is the farthest you have ever driven for a single scrapbook event, crop, getaway, etc.?

Shannon- I go to two retreats and one expo a year. The retreats and the expo are both 2 hours away. One is north and one is south so I get the best of both worlds.

 Kim- I don't "do" getaways and I've only been to one crop in all the years I've been crafting. The only event would be the Scrapbook Expo once a year about 45 minutes away. Guess you could say I'm not a well-traveled crafter.

Sue- When I lived in Michigan I was only about 15 - 20 miles from the place where they have the Great Lakes Mega Meet every year which I attended twice. I worked right down the street from the venue so the night I did the Round Robin of classes I worked most of the day then had a quick dinner and off to the event. I have never been to a crop (I always wonder why anyone would pack up all of ther stuff to haul elsewhere) and I don't think I have ever been close to any kind of giveaway.

Veronica- The farthest I have travelled is to Grapevine, close to Dallas, TX, to attend the Scrapbook expo. A friend of mine and I took the charter bus from a local scrapbooking store, 30min from San Antonio. It was a crazy trip. They leave at 5am and returns to the store close midnight... so much fun, with tons of giveaways during the trip and it included the entrance fees. We are repeating the experience April first, wit more friends. Really looking forward to it.  The roundtrip is close 500 miles...

Angela- Have never gone to a retreat/getaway or crop. I've been to 2 expos, one was 45 min and the other 1.5 hrs.

Marji- About 2 hours, I'm in Central Florida and a group of friends and I went to Tampa/St. Pete. for a great convention. I usually just go about an hour away to the Orlando show.

Connie- I have driven 3 hours to an event but I have flown through several states to get to one! I love attending crops and retreats!

Wow!! Connie and Veronica are the winners!! LOL!! That is commitment!! 

Got a question for us...don't be shy, ask us!!

We are in the middle of March, and so many of you have suffered that awful winter storm! I'm so happy we decided to make the move to the sunshine state! My mom had just over 2 feet dumped at her house! YUCK! So, if you are those "lucky" ones (some people do really love it! I know....I just cant see why!? LOL), I am going to share some wintery files to keep you busy on these cold days! (and its cold here too! We woke up to 48 degrees today!)

I love March because my Birthday is the 9th but also because my family has so many birthdays to celebrate!! Seems like we are celebrating all month long!

I wanted to share a few projects I have been busy creating this week!!

First up I created these cute planner clips for a swap at my retreat this last weekend. Super easy to do and oh so cute! Of course they were birthday themed!!

Next up I have 2 birthday layouts I made for my son Jacob's birthday back in 2012. He turned 11. I am so behind!! This kid is going to be 16 in just over a month!! Yikes!

We had 2 parties for him because one was a sleep over with friends and the other was a family party! Both were equally fun!

I used an Echo Park Kit and was able to knock these layouts out pretty easily with the help of some sketches!! I still have enough paper and stickers to create another layout as well! Love my Echo Park!!

I hope we helped you put another candle on that birthday cake!!
Thanks for joining us in this epic birthday bash!!
