BIG Announcement Time! Woohoo!!!

Good Morning! Happy Sunday! I have a GREAT thing to share with you to the start of the new week! I have been wanting to share this for a while.. and everything is set and now I can!!

I have a NEW Home! Yes, that's right.. I'm so excited. Still some minor little adjustments and I will have a learning curve, but I'm so happy!!






Please make sure to bookmark my new home and continue to follow me there! Here is the link: http://www.dawnscreativechalet.com. I have more things in store for the future as well to share with you!

Also, I still have my APP - I am working on changing that so you will see the new blog on there as well!


My APP is available in iTunes and Google Play - the best part is, it is FREE! Follow me like over 300 others have! I'm so excited to see so many following me on their mobile devices! I hope you are, too!

I want to thank this wonderful lady, Sue Parker. She is awesome. Sue helped me make this new blog a reality when I was told by so many others.. I'd have a 2 year wait.. ack? Really?! Sue, you are awesome! She has been such a pleasure to work with (and has patience of a saint!). If you have any web type work that needs to be done, I HIGHLY recommend her.. she is very sweet!

Look up here business here: www.thesparkledweb.com - along with her great talent.. I just LOVE the name of her business.. "Sparkled Web".. Is that not catchy for anyone who loves bling? LOL..

Sue, thank you so much!






I hope she doesn't mind that I just "borrowed" this from her Facebook page.. :)

Now, I am off to get ready to do a little snowmobiling.. and try to make best of this winter white stuff! Have a great day and take time to get inky!!! *hugs*  and see you at my new home!!!

Who Wrote The Book Of Love?


Sing it with me! How do I remember this tune? My dad used to listen to it all the time.. catchy isnt it? So, why am I posting this? Because I thought it was fun and... it has a bit to do with today's post.. a little book I made and I thought I'd share it with you.. the little book of love...............


Isn't it cute? I had a lot of fun putting this together.. It is made with a 12 x 12 sheet of paper and lots of "tape" stuff that I had laying around in my studio. Every other page is a pocket.. so I wanted to get use of those. It isn't done yet.. but being it is so close to Valentine's Day, I wanted to share with you! Here are some more photos of the book:




What I used:

Core'dinations Card Stock - Primrose Petals
More Amore Designer Series Paper
Artisan Embellishment Kit
Basic Gray Card Stock
Crumb Cake Card Stock
Pool Party Seam Binding Ribbon
Primrose Petals Stitched Ribbon
Sycamore Street Ribbon & Button Pack
Linen Thread
Snail Adhesive
Sticky Strip
Misc stuff I have had in my studio and just wanted to use :) - get creative.. use stuff up! ;)

I hope you like today's project. I had a blast making this little guy at the Crop this past weekend. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera, and really didn't get any photos.. Ill be asking a friend of mine if maybe I can borrow a few of hers. I have to say.. it was a lot of fun. I got to meet some new friends and giggle with some dear friends I do not get to see often enough. I want to thank Dale Rose for allowing me to be a vendor there. She did an amazing job and this was her first time planning a crop like this!

Have a wonderful day.. and make sure to keep warm, grab that cupppa cocoa and get little inky! Take care, my friends. *hugs*
