Welcome to Lynne's Mad Hatter 60th Birthday Tea Party Blog Hop --- don't be late for this very important date and just to be sure you're not late, we're serving tea for not one day but two!! Watch out for rabbit holes, and those drink me and eat me potions as you must do them in moderation.You'll never know what you will see beyond the looking glass --- sew, sit down a spell and enjoy the talented ladies as we hop along in Wonderland. Warning, watch out for the Queen of Hearts as she is losing in the game of croquet and its off with your heads!!!!!

Rather than cake, crumpetts, tarts and cookies, we have blog candy and I mean some sweet treats that are being offered by our great sponsors:

1. Pat Catan's has donated a $25 gift card for shopping at their store, if there isn't a Pat Catan's in your area, we can transfer that out for you

To be eligible by posting you must comment and post on each stop of our tea party along the way --- now remember to hold your pinky out when drinking your tea --- will that be 1 lump or 2?

If you stopped at my blog to just visit today, I don't want you to miss a single thing along the way and you need to start at the beginning which is two hares by the Cheshire cat who is grinning at you and that darn caterpiller smoking her pipe at http://slasewcraftiness.blogspot.com/!!!

My project is a layout page which I will put in a scrapbook album frame and send to Lynn.   I used Alice in Wonderland paper and stickers by Reminsce.  I used crystal lacquer on the Ace Heart card and pocket watch stickers.  I used stickles on the cat. flower  and  teapot with cups.  I used a black glaze pen on the black lines in the cat's teeth.   I used some sparkle rick rack.  I used a Fiskars corner punch.   The title is cut with Cricut Cuttin Up Cartridge Cartoon font.   I want to wish Lynne a very Happy Birthday!  

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed your tea and crumpets and your next stop is not Twiddledee and Twiddledum but Shannon M - http://www.purplelionpaper.com/blog

Remember to check out all the tea parties!!!

Hugs, Love, Tea Cups and Crumpets

Rebecca's Baby Shower Blog Hop-Day Two

Welcome to Rebecca's Baby Shower Blog Hop- Day One!!

Welcome to Lisa’s daughter, Rebecca’s, Baby Shower! What a great idea to have a baby shower between your blogging friends. Lisa has asked that we make a two-page layout which she will present to her daughter. Rebecca is having a boy and her son’s name will be Maxwell Thaddeus. There is a fantastick line-up to check out all of our layouts which I hope you enjoy!!!

If you have arrived here from Sherry W, then you are at the right place for this baby shower. If you just happened to visit me today or happened upon my blog, I don’t want you to miss a single present for the baby shower and would want you to begin at the very beginning which is the proud soon-to-be-Grandma, Lisa.



My layout today is Bedtime with Pooh.   I used Pooh and Friends to cut out Pooh, the moon and the stars.  The title is cut with Pooh Font and Shadow.  I used stickles on ball of Pooh's night hat, the moon and the stars.  I gave them little faces too!   I had some Pooh stickers so I put a couple of the character ones on brown paper and cut around it like a mat.   Simple little layout for the new baby.    The Striped and Dotted Paper is from Daisy Buckets and the Pooh Paper is from Sandylion.  Again Congrats Lisa and Rebecca!

 My project for today is a Bathtime Layout.   I used Cricut Cartridge New Arrivals to cut out the Bathtub, Bathtime Phrase, Bubbles and the Rubber Duckie.  I inked around the mats, rounded the corners of the mats with corner rounder and used stickles on the bubbles and the Duck.   I stamped a round journaling circle on one of the mats.

Ready, Set, Go!


My room is a little rustic.  Some day I hope to redo the walls, ceiling and the floor, but for now, I have the spare room in our home as  my craft room.  Again, as I said, it is a little rustic and I do have to share it with the family(meaning they store their extra stuff in there -like dd's barbie collection or dh's extensive collection of books and remnants from ds with his glow in the dark stars).  My room is definitely not one you would see in a magazine.   But it is my own little space.  So let's head on into my room

And here to greet us on our tour is one of my furbabies and trusty assistant, Kit Kat.  She also likes to call this room HERS.  She sits on the Dale Jr. seat cushion on the shelves in front of the window and guards the house.  At least that is the story she gives us,  really she is just soaking up sun and getting into mischief.  The other furbaby Cuddles use to hang out in here and catch the rays, but since she is 18 it is hard for her to jump up high so she usually just comes into say hi and remind me to come sit with her.  

My desk was made by husband, and I love it.  And caught in the act of knocking a loose flower off my desk and onto the flower is Kit Kat.   It is not uncommon for her to do that or to pick up one of the flowers and run off with it to play somewhere else in the house with it.  

My husband made my desk for me from some old wood he had.    I keep my tool boxes(Plano) and my cricut on it so they are at my fingertips.  I used old spice racks to house some of jars with buttons or paint dabbers.I purchased a ribbon wall organizer so my ribbon is at my fingertips.

On the right side of my desk, I have a paper trolley with some of my pattern paper.   And I have hanging file organizer to store my Paper cutter and papers.

On the left side of my desk, I have some Cubes I bought from Michaels for my solid paper and of course, my BOOM BOX.  I work better with music.

My husband bought me some heavy duty utility shelves from Sam's club.  I store some clear containers with projects, Sizzix dies, my cricut cartridge organizers, flower organizers on them as well as providing a spot for Kit Kat to sun herself.  As you can see our tour guide is making sure they are in their proper place.  And Yes, a view of Kit Kat's perch(Dale Jr. Seat cushion).  

Hubby also gave me this handy dandy little bin to store flowers, paper corners, etc.  I store my clear stamps in these little books.  And I used the bins below for flowers and other embellishements.

I have some Martha Stewart Cubes to house my clear organizer boxes of brads, punches,

I have another table in my room.  It is my diecutting area.

I store my albums on a bookshelf next to my diecutting table which hubby made(Hubby stores his books there too).

I store my paper scraps in hanging files in a plastic crate.

On the back of my door, I have a door hanger which I purchased at Bed Bath and Beyond to hang my crop bags.

This summer I plan to paint my desk, shelves and cubes.  And hopefully, I will get a chance to do the ceiling, wall and floor.   Well, thanks for stopping by.     Hope you stop back soon!   Now, hop on over to Chrys- http://scrapbookingkampstyle.blogspot.com/, I know she will be expecting you.
