Summer Bucket List

I finally have decided to do a summer bucket list! Actually, I have decided to do two. One that we can use as a family and one just for me. The second one I am hoping to have filled with relaxing things, crafty stuff, and DIY projects.

I asked the kids to help me with the family bucket list and here is what we came up with so far:

  1. Go to the beach
  2. Play at nanny's
  3. Go geocaching
  4. Have a water balloon fight
  5. Go to Riverview (a local place on the river where we swim and have a fire)
  6. Go to mommy's beach (where my families cabin is...I always refer to it as my beach!)
  7. Go to the Insectarium  (this is a place that have live insects as well as a butterfly tent)
  8. Go see the Alpaca's
  9. Go to Corner Brook (a larger town about 2 hrs away)
  10. Go see a movie 
  11. Go bowling
  12. Walk to boardwalk
  13. Go camping
  14. Hike Starlight Mountain
  15. Have a Nerf War 
  16. Go yard sailing
  17. Go on Seadoo's
  18. Make cookies together
  19. See the caves in Corner Book
  20. Go to the Heritage Tree in Deer Lake
  21. Go to Shipwreck Cove
  22. Go to Rose Blanche
  23. Go to Winters Pool
  24. Host a BBQ
Most of the places we want to go to are only short drives from our house. No more than an hour. We are not done with our bucket lists yet. I think I would like to have a rainy day list as well. 

I will post the the rainy day list as well as my bucket list as soon as I get them figured out!! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Love, Patricia

On to my project! To tell you the absolute truth, time has been something that has been scarce in my life lately. I'm not complaining, though! I've been getting things done! So, I looked at the new releases to see what I could use quick with the little time I had. I saw the little guy from the "What's Cooking?" set and knew right away I had to use him! So, I colored him, cut him out and stuck him on a cute 6X6 DP to use in my recipe book! I think it turned out pretty good!



If you want to order some Ippity goodness, you can go to the Unity Stamp Co. site and order or you can send me an email at mycraftycreations@hotmail.com and I will help you get what you need!

Now, hop over to Barbara's blog to see what she has created!

 And here is what you have been waiting for...the NEW STAMPS!!!!


This first one is the full kit that [ippity} is offering this time called "courage is my strength". It includes 5 beautiful stamps!


This itty bitty is called Java Friend and is has a nice big mug and and a beautiful sentiment stamp.


Here is another itty bitty for you! This one is called "Live Half Full" and would be do cute used in a number of ways! As a pick me up, as in invite for your friends, the possibilities are endless!


This Itty Bitty is called "One of Those Days" and includes a cute little bird on a wire and two sentiment stamps.


And last, but certainly not least, is the Itty Bitty called "Pain and Strength". What I really like about this one is that the tree has cause ribbons in it so, depending on the colors you use, you can alter this one to fit whatever cause you want. I think this tree is probably my favourite out of all this release stamps!

And here are a few things that I did with these stamps.


This set is the "Java Friend" set. For this one I colored the image with my Crayola coloring pencils and used some Perfect Pearl Mist from Ranger just to get a bit of glimmer on the mug. Then I glossy accented the swirl on the mug...but you really can't see it in the picture too well.



This card was made using the "Pain is Strength" set. Did I mention how much I love that tree? (In case I didn't...I LOVE THAT TREE!!!!)


 This was the quickest of all three to make!  It took me less that 5 minutes to cut the sentiment out, distress it a little with my Distress inks, stick the little flower feltie on, and add some ribbon. I really like how this one came out!

And that's it for me! You can get these stamps and any other {ippity} or Unity stamps by going to the Unity Stamp Co. website and ordering from there! If you want me to hook you up with some {ippity} just send an email along to me and I will see what I can do for  you! Visit my sales blog (which is going though some construction right now!) for more info!

Now, hope on over to Jen's blog!

Thanks for stopping by!

I'm a Friend...With Flair!

It's Friday and that means it's time for Unity Friends With Flair! Today I have a card to share with you that I made for two challenges: The Unity "Let it Snow" Challenge and the "Summer in November" challenge for the new GinaK release on Stamp TV. Here it is:


I got this image from the new Kit of the Month stamps from Unity that I received in the mail a couple of days ago. I couldn't WAIT to get this little guy all inked up! Isn't he cute? I used my crayola coloring leads to color him in...I don't own copics...I am actually too scared to but them! I am afraid that I will like them and have to get them ALL! Do you know how many of those things there are?!? Do you know how much money I would spend?!?! So, for now, I will stick with my coloring leads...I like them!

Thanks for stopping by!

Love, Patricia
