Spring is Springy with Scrap Ideas!
So, here we are already four weeks into March and nearly a week into spring. I have started to feel my step perk up and the light is coming back into my eyes. Winter is so difficult for me. I feel lackluster and sad. Finally those feelings are beginning to go away. The last few months have been transforming for me, and I think my family too. We are making the conversion to all organic foods, and are beginning to break into health products and cleaning products. People continue to ask me why? Why this change? Well, it's simple. We all feel so much healthier after beginning to consume and use these products. We finally got to go to Whole Foods Market and absolutely loved it. It is our goal to get there at least once a month to grocery shop. People seem to think that its so costly to eat organic foods. Yes, it may cost a bit more, but I only got bronchitis once this winter instead of literally 5 times. So the cost to health ratio is far better in the long run! Life is good. Papercrafting is good too. I have been very busy with papercrafting since graduation. I try to get into my "studio" at least 3-4 days a week and get something done, even if it is just noodling ideas around. I have dubbed this year the year of transformation and that is what it's been so far. I just need to get better about blogging it all.
Since my blogger title is Lisa's Logophile, I suppose I should leave you with an amazing new word to learn and use. Here it is: TUROPHILE. Funny sounding word, isn't it. It means cheese lover. Yes, I am a lover of cheese. One of my favorite parts about the trips to Whole Foods Market is all the cheese sampling. Mmmm, nothing like the taste and texture of an amazing and sharp cheese! No more wimpy american cheese for me!
Thanks for reading!

I'm Back!
Hello all! It has been a very busy few months in our home. I am finished with my Master's Degree and am now on a quest for a full time job. I had a friend ask me for some non traditional Christmas cards and so I have been busy making cards this past month and want to share a few with you! Unfortunately my daughter had the camera with her and these were taken on my phone so the colors do not come through as vividly as I would have liked.
My cards are on display and for sale at Petal Arts on Jefferson Street in Hanover. I will have new ones at the shop very soon! Stop in and see my friend Tim. He is a very gifted painter and has some lovely handmade items in his shop. He is open every weekend this winter. Even if the sign says closed, knock on his house door next door and he would be happy to open up!
Have a great day!

Simon Says Stamp
I know I haven't posted in a very long time, but I just read a challenge on Karens blog about Simon Says Stamp. I was interested so I looked around at their site for a bit. I love love love the new Basic Grey 6x6 Lemonade Paper Pad. Those 36 pages are beautiful. If you want a chance to win go to http://simonsaysstampblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/chatter-from-cha-orlando-summer-2009.html
I have not been able to stamp very much with my new job and full time school, but I will be off school for 4 weeks very soon, so I am hoping to catch up on some cardmaking then.
I can't wait!!

Time of Love and Loss
Hello fellow bloggers,
What a long strange trip it has been! Yeah, I needed to put that Grateful Dead reference in there...their music soothes the weary soul. My grandma passed away almost two weeks ago, so I have been dealing with that. It has been a stressful time for my family. Couple that with wrapping up one job and starting a new one. I am a giant bundle of nerves and stress. I've had no time to really do any cards, but I will post some that I did just a couple of weeks ago! Please keep our family in prayer for healing. Thank you and enjoy

Finished at Last!


I have been busy since the week before Easter with Easter preparations. During holy week, I received my annual letter from the District Committee of Ordained Ministry. I have spent the last several days writing madly answering five very important questions for the year. As I was wrestling with these questions, I kept thinking why am I jumping through hoops for a job that will soon only be part of part time? I would have much rather been making cards this week, but alas, such is life, eh? Yep yep. Tomorrow is my 14 year wedding anniversary so I don't know how much card making I will get done. Have a great Friday!
*Be the Change card: Tag and paper ribbon by k & company. Be the change sentiment stamp.
* In Dreams card: Tag, paper ribbon, and button brad by k & company. In dreams sentiment stamp

New Stuff

Ok, this will be a reasonably short post. I got some new stuff yesterday at Michael's so I wanted to share the card I made this morning...enjoy! Oh! And I am so excited!! I found a brand new Cricut on eBay yesterday (I actually waited up till the wee hours of this morning to bid on it) for less than half the retail cost. It comes with one cartridge to start, but that's OK...eBay will come in handy for finding other cartridges. It shipped today! I will have it by the end of the week! Woohoo!!!
*Thinking of You Card: Paper by My Mind's Eye, Butterfly tag by k & company (wild saffron series). Thinking of You stamp and Sending You Hugs and Kisses by Hero Arts. Rich Cocoa ink by Tsukineko (Memento). Azurite ink by ColorBox Chalk. Paper ribbon by k & company (wild saffron series)
