Bind it All Batman Blog Candy!

Some of you may have seen this card organizer at Pampering Fest...I had a lot of people ask to make one or buy one but I kept saying no. I hate saying no...but the binding was just too expensive.
I bought a Bind it All Machine and now we can do the class and a whole lot more! I am so excited!!! We will also make a mini-organizer in the class that is just the right size for gift cards, business cards and wallet-sized photos! How cute is that?

For those of you who are wondering what I am so excited about here is a sneak peak inside the organizer (this one has the expensive Staples Binding but you get the idea). Each pocket has a paper so you can write down all of those important dates and keep using it year after year.So do you want one? Huh, huh? Well, for starters to celebrate having more than 10,000 hits (I know it happened a little while ago but I have been busy!) Take a look! You can a Card Organizer, a mini-organizer, So Many Scallops Stamp Set and some rub-ons. Just leave a comment by 7pm on Monday March 2nd on this post telling me how you found out about Creative Bug and/or my blog. I will use a random number generator to choose a winner! The winner will be posted no later than next Wednesday.
For those of you who don't win but still want a Card Organizer and a Mini-Organizer, register for my workshop on Tuesday March 24th from 7-9pm and you can make them with the Designer Paper of your choice from the latest Stampin' Up Catalogue. Payment and registration are required by March 8th so all supplies can be ordered.

Enjoy!

PS. In case you are wondering, Wednesdays are generally about survival for me...it is the busiest day of my week!

The Tuesday Blues...

Well, I was thinking...yesterday I told you my plan for Mondays but didn't go any further and I wondered...are there people out there wondering what my Tuesday Plan is? Well, wonder no more! Tuesday is card day...so here they are samples for my next workshop!

These are the cards we will be making for the Birthday Bonanza! For only $25 you will get to come and make 12 cards to share with your favourite friends (since you will make 3 of each you can even keep copies for your viewing pleasure if you like! The workshop is on March 7th and there are still spaces available so sign up now!

I mentioned that we are working on home renos...they are for our daughter. So far, we have managed to get the dressing room painted. Isn't it beautiful?
There she is with her co-ordinating dress and Lil'Kinz...and a pile of play tools in the back (our son has been helping!)
Speaking of our son and tools! He could barely hold the drill up but my husband insisted we get a picture and Sean was more than happy to oblige!Now here is Sarah in the other part of her room that is awaiting transformation (the headboard and nightstand are already gone). We will be painting this part of the room the same colour and decorating it so it will be ALL GIRL! I can't wait to see it come to life!Oh and if you are wondering why I have the Tuesday Blues...it's because I keep thinking/hoping it's Wednesday!

Ahhh well...
Enjoy!

New week, new schedule...

Things have been very busy over here at Creative Bug Headquarters...we have been doing some home renos (there is always work to be done), gearing up for Buggy Birthdays, and fitting in family fun whenever we can!

In order to make my life a little more orderly, I have set up a schedule for myself...so Monday is baking day...here are the treats for my contract tomorrow...they will be enjoying Maple-Cornmeal Drop Biscuits, Citrus Sunshine Muffins and Blueberry Brown Sugar Plain Cake...Yummy!


The biscuits were inspired by our trip to the sugar bush on Saturday...look at Simon...he is getting SO BIG!!! And yes, finally a photo of me! There were rumours going around that I am a minister and all sorts of crazy things! I am not a minister but I part of our Teens N Trinity Team! (More about that later!)
Now, when Sean was first asked to try out the hand drill he was a little uncertain but once Martin got him started we had to drag him away! Look at the concentration! And the pile of shavings he created! Fantastic!

Sarah, seeing her brother do it decided that she better get in there and try too. So, Sean and I headed off to saw a maple coin (with a 2-person saw) and Sarah had a go at it!
This year at the Sugar Bush was like no other...the kids really got into it! It was so fun to be there with them!

Enjoy!
