Zinnia HB

 Hello & Happy Sunday, Everyone!

Hope your new year is off to a great start!

I ended up at the doctor's office yesterday morning with an infected belly button. I swear, you can't make this stuff up! As I grow older I find that I am having all kinds of werid things happening. I noticed an itch at my belly button right before I hopped into the shower thinking I had a psoriasis spot there and when I looked my entire belly button was bright red! That stopped me in my tracks as I had no idea what it was. Shawn called the doctor and got me in within 30 minutes! I was seen by Shawn's doctor who checked it good just to make sure I did not have an umbilical hernia. Turns out it is infected and he gave me a topical cream & an antibiotic. I am however not to take the antibiotic unless it does not get any better within a few days. This morning it looks good and not as red so I'm thinking the topical is helping. So crazy!

Anyways, today I was relaxing and looking thru some folders of the cards I had not shared on here. This one that I am sharing now is from a few months ago when Audrey needed a special Zinnia card for a friend. All the products used are now retired. I will most likely share more retired products on here than new since I have so much that always deserves to be shown. I have slacked off on buying new products because my craft room is full.

Card Details:

Stamps: Wildflower Celebration (retired)

Ink: Melon Mambo

Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Basic White, Flowering Zinnia DSP (retired Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Wildflower Celebration Dies, Low Profile Petal Pink Dots (retired Online Exclusives), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Audrey likes her cards simple so that is how I left this one.

No ribbon, dimensionals or bulk for easy mailing.

I haven't made my way to my stamp table yet. Still giving my hands a break. I already have an order from Audrey to start and my calendars are waiting. Maybe one day this week!

Nests of Winter Set

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY, Friends!

It is back to work for Shawn today and the house is back to normal.

Christmas was nice and so was our New Year's but now it's time to get back to some normalcy! I hope to maybe do some stamping this afternoon to get my 2026 calendars started. I won't be making as many as I usually do every year since no one has requested any. Kelsey is the only one who asked and I have 3 around my house that I use so that will be the extent of them this year. My hands just cannot take it anymore.

Today I want to share with you a set of cards made 2 weeks ago for Audrey. She requests these simple cards with a square of DSP on and then she uses them for what she needs them for. No sentiments.

Card Details:

Stamps: none

Ink: none

Cardstock: Basic White, Garden Green, Nests of Winter DSP (retired)

Accessories: Square Layering Framelits (retired), Earth Tones Shimmer Gems (retired), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This paper is nice for any occasion and she loved them!

2025 Year in Review

 Hello & Happy Wednesday, Friends!

It is New Year's Eve! It's unreal how fast time goes by!

It's a cold morning here in Pennsylvania and I am doing some laundry. We have no plans for ringing in the new year as we usually are asleep way before midnight. We had our fun in our younger days ringing in the new year.

Every year I share some of my favorite cards & projects that I made that year. Some months it's hard to choose just a few! LOL Sit back & relax and check out my favorites!

August 2025

The last day of August we lost Mr. Shady and to this day it's still a tough loss.

September 2025

Mid September we welcomed a new member to the Aungst family. Meet Sushi. 

He is a Jack Russell puppy that Kelsey adopted. He will never take Mr. Shady's place in our hearts but he's been a real joy in learning his personality and his little barks. He looks alot like Mr. Shady but is very different in many ways.

There are so many more projects I would like to have shared here but these were my top favorites! I hope you have enjoyed seeing them again. 

I would like to take a minute to "Thank You" all for your support and comments throughout the years! It has meant the world to me and gave me the motivation I needed to stay crafty. 

I hope in 2026 to share many more crafty projects & cards and hope that you will continue to come back to check them out & comment!

Wishing you all a Happy New Year full of health & much happiness! 

Oh, and lots of crafty goodness!
