Hop on over to the SPA with Club Anya!...

Greetings, all!

TODAY is the DAY!

{{{BEFORE I get to all the fun Spa Hop details, I just want to ask that you please scroll down for my Little Paper Shop preview.  We are debuting a SUPER cute new set-one of my faves, actually-and I dont' want you to miss it!  Thank you so much!!!}}}

Well, here we are!  Ahhhhhhh.  Do you hear that?   It's the sound of my week beginning with a TON less than I had on the books for last week....aaaaaahhhhhhh.

Serenity is the theme here as Anya is making her trip to the Spa for some "Me Time" and I think we all need to do the same!   I used this week's Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge #91 to create my card and the new Basic Grey "Nook and Pantry" paper which I LOVE!  Hope you like it too...

...and now, without further adeiu, here is the order of the hop...I'm the last stop-so if you're just getting here, head over to Club Anya to start and then follow the signs to rest and relaxation:

Pam
Suzi

Well, I have a special little treat for you today, too, as do the rest of my girlies, so be sure to stop by everyone and leave comments!   As for my blog, ONE LUCKY girl will win my card today along with a $15 gift card to Bath and Body works!   All you have to do is LEAVE A COMMENT by 8PM CST!

All the winners of the Club Anya SPA HOP will be announced after the contests close.  Good luck and get Zen...now's your time..."ME" time!!!

...at least, that's what they tell me...and that's A-ok with me!

Today is Saturday, and it's time for another Crazy 4 Challenges Challenge...to use ACETATE on our project today.

As I write this, I am surrounded by Mercy Kerin, Jessie Rone (TWO fellow Crazies!), and our hostess with the mostess Pam Varnell!  The coffee's hot, the stamps flying, and I suspect a laugh or two might be in store for today!  I've said it before and I'll say it again...if I am not back by Monday morning, call the authorities!I am completely acetate challenge so it will be very interesting to me to see what you think about this project!

 I decided to make a bookmark for my DD who is missing me a little bit while I'm hanging with my girls.  She is a very avid reader and LOVES this stamp so Madelynn, sweetie, I hope you love it!

Another Quote with Flair...

{{{Please scroll down for my Greeting Farm post and Guest Designer contest deets!  THANK YOU!!!}}}

So, the other day, I found this CRAZY AMAZING QUOTE by Emerson:

"DO NOT GO where the Path may lead, GO INSTEAD where there is NO PATH, and LEAVE A TRAIL"...

I thought this was the coolest quote...and a few minutes later, our sweet Angela left me a comment saying "I have that in a stamp!"   YOU DO?  I thought....smiling at the prospect of getting online and ordering it immediately..until I realized...DUH!  I HAVE this stamp.  Oh, man...it was one of those days, HA!   Funny though-and SO glad I had it!   LOVE this from the UNITY QUOTE BUNDLE!!!  Yay!

Ok, so I am SUCH an amatuer, but my Mom gave me my sister's sewing machine that wasn't being used and I have begun to stitch on my cards!  Go easy on me...I'm not so good at the whole straight-line thing let, LOL!   What do you guys think about sewing on cards?   

I have to admit it's something I said I prob wouldn't do...too fussy..too much work..etc...but turns out I am QUITE the fussbucket and I like me that way, HA HA!

Well, be sure to head over to the UNITY blog for the complete list of FWF Participants...and have a WONDERFUL day!  I will be whooping it up with my pals Jessie, Mercy, and Pam for the weekend...prob won't sleep much but can you hear the laughing?? 

WILD about this Sketch...

Hey friends!

It's week TWO of the "Where the Wild Things Are" contest and up for grabs for the first time ever is a one month Guest Designer spot with The Greeting Farm, to work specifically with these adorable images by Marina Neira!  LOVE THEM!

Today I'm super excited to bring you the 2nd Challenge...it's a sketch by our very own Cindy Haffner!  Here is the sketch:

Isn't it fabby?   

Be sure to check out the TGF Blog for complete details and eligibility requirements for this contest as it is a two-week cumulative contest.  Anyone can play the sketch though!  So feel free!  Here's my take on it:

I LOVE this cute digi stamp, don't you?  These little mice are just too sweet!   Well, thanks for stopping by today...as you read this, I am either in the car with Jessie or hopefully we've already made it to Pam's house....yep!  It's another weekend with the Crazies!  I'll be spending the weekend with Mercy Kerin, Pam Varnell, and Jessie Rone again and I cannot WAIT!

It's been a stressful week and this will be just what I needed!  Take care and I'll see you back here on Sunday for the Club Anya "Spa Hop" and a preview from Little Paper Shop, too!  busy, busy...just the way I like it ;)

xoxo

Lollipop, Lollipop...

Yeah, ya just can't help hearing that song in your head when you see this ADORABLE new stamp from The Greeting Farm, now can ya?

Introducing...LOLLI ANYA!

She will be sweetening up The Greeting Farm on Sunday, November 15th during our Anya release!   Isn't she the SWEETEST, literally?  

We have a special little bonus this release, too... See that little "Giggle" sentiment?  That is part of  a SUPER special TGF BONUS SET titled "Anya Says".  That's right!  There are now sentiments to go with all your Anyas and Ians!  

What's more?  Due to a teeny glitch in manufacturing (there is a duplicate sentiment), we are offering this set at the AWESOME reduced price of $10!    It's totally a great deal and you guys will definitely want to scoop this set up FAST before it disappears!

Well, be sure to head over to Club Anya for another crazy amazing set of previews!  My teammates have been hard at work and there is some major eye CANDY in addition to Anya's lollipop!  Check 'em out:

Last but not least,   speaking of SWEET, I got the sweetest blog award from my awesome friend Jodi Collins (Kharmagirl) and I just noticed it last night!  Awww, it's called the "Love Ya" award.   Thanks, Jod's!!!!  MWAH!   I normally don't pass these on and just post on my sidebar cuz it's too hard to choose, but I have some good friends who are relatively NEW to the blogging world so I'd like to honor them today.   I love all you guys; you know that ;)  But today I want to honor my friends:

Darla
Kim
Erin
Lori

Welcome to Blog-land, girlies....I am so glad you four are here!   Be sure to visit their blogs and leave them some love cuz they ROCK!
