These are my thoughts, however I may quote those who are smarter and wiser than I am.

Stuff Organizer...

A fellow CTMH'r Jeani Hill shared her template for the filler pages...
Now that it's done....as long as I can find it when I need to know what I have and don't have!
LOL!

More Disney Fun!

Ya think there might be a theme here lately with the Disney themed items, eh?
I really did make this over a year ago...however, it's worthy to be here as well.
The "album" is 6 x 6.

Liquid glass on the lettering and ears.


Here's a better view of the tabs

You Glo Girl!

I love Bellas!
What's a Bella? Geads...where ya been girl? Check em out..here

Since I have TONS of More To Adore papers from Close To My Heart, I tend to go with the PINK embellishments when I use the Bellas.
Baby Pink My Accents just add the extra foo-la-la.

Lastest Project...Top Ten Favs

This was the gift that went with the "Welcome to the Bifocal Club" card...
I know they don't match...but neither do these
This base item is available at Oriental Trading.
Using Close To My Hearts Let's Get Together Card Kit.
To protect the paper covers from icky fingers, I cut a page protector, punched holes to match up with the rings, then slit them for easy removal.




Then because of the clever-ness-of-me, I took an acetate sheet and did the same so the "cook" could put it over the recipe she's using at the time.
Now...for the typed recipe cards,(which were for my SIL's using Gramma's recipes) I simply (ha-ha-ha) created created a word doc and with some practice (and tons of paper) got it so that I could use Dotto to attach the recipe card to a piece of printer paper, put it in the printer and hit print!
Cool beans!
I used blank cards and mounted on larger pieces of cardstock.

Welcome to the Bifocal Club!


I saw this in a magazine over a year ago and filed it away in a "mental idea box"...can only take credit for the design, not the idea.
Well...I think it really suits my "frame of mind" don't you?

It's that time of year...to support My FRAME of Mind!

Right along with MSBE, annual eye exams are a necessary evil...however!
I absolutely love them! I love my eye doc
I love Haley's eye doc Dr. Laraine Low, too (I use to work for her father years ago while she was just a pup in college) but their hours are not compatible with mine.

Ya know how some women shop for shoes and hand-bags?
Not me. Nope.
I shop for frames.
Why? Well, I just REFUSE to wear my mother's glasses. I love variety. I love fun and funky.
We wear the current trend of clothes (unless you're cleaning toilets, dog vomit and poop all day)
So tomorrow I'll have my annual routine comp. eye exam, and yippee! select my 3 pairs of glasses.
While these may represent me perfectly
I may have to choose something ....more....well....suitable for work!

See my sunglasses here. in tortoise shell.?.with DriveWear Lenses they'll be awesome!

Need a Giggle or Grin?


I saw this album at a local SB store but was too cheap to take the $45 class.
Made simply with a cut up box. The "ears" are just circles of said cut up box covered with CTMH Black Textured Cardstock
Cover and back cover is covered with CTMH Giggles n Grin papers...
And of course bound with my BIA.

And here's the one that gave me the inspiration.

De-Stresser Kit Coaster Box


I've got a TON of coasters and saw this idear on another blog...so I threw this together for our new Sup at work...
Yea...ANOTHER new Sup!
I still think that they keep coming on board just to get an exclusive "Terri Howard" gift...
ok..maybe not!
hehe
Anyhoot..ingredients inside are a bunch of products from the home version of Bath and Body.
It's stuff we have tons of and well...let's just say I don't like smelling like fruit all the time.
Now if it was Aromatherapy from Bath and Body there would not be any I would give away-er, share!
So I wrapped some containers with the Life's Delight kit from CTMH and of course the Bella stamp just went so well with the theme...

Just Couldn't Resist!

It may not fit my Cricut Expressions machine (confirmed that upon arrival)...but who cares!?!
It'll be fabulously fun to take on my trip to Florida this summer.
I have a feeling this order might be one of those "stories"...will let ya know when it arrives!
