Let's Do The Time Warp (again!)

Time is definitely running out. My friend is getting married on October 30th and she is feeling the bridal stress - to say the least. Not only does she have the pressure of upcoming wedding, but she's trying to run a business that is becoming WILDLY popular. Since this article appeared in the Chicago Tribune on September 26th, the Tea Room has become one of the best destinations for lunch around. We have lunch guests from far and wide - some driving more than an hour to come and savor the goodies we have to offer.

It's wonderful and hopefully it will continue the rest of the season and lead to a very successful season next year.

Because the Tea Room has been so busy, I have been there everyday. I help where I am needed and it's a great way to spend the middle six hours of the day. Plus, I get to make a little money and that helps with any "fun" stuff that Carson and I want to do.

But, I've still got time to create (of course!)

This card was made with papers from a Lily Bee Design collection. I used a nestie to cut the scalloped circle and embellished with K & Co lady bugs and some red and white twine from The Twinery.

Now to bring the title of my post back full circle...time is tight on the wedding planning, but I cannot wait until next Tuesday when Glee is all about The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I love when shows do a special halloween-themed episode. It's the best and it's perfectly genius to take on the collection from TRHPS.

Have a great day!

They Say It's Your Birthday!

Yesterday, I was making cards like crazy! It was my Mother-In-Law AND my Father-In-Law's birthday. Yes, both on the same day. How weird is that? Anyway, I was happily creating away in my craft room and finally got to use some of the Dear Lizzy line by American Crafts and some of the Vintage Poppy Line by Lily Bee Design.

Hope you are having a great weekend!

Busy as a (Lily) Bee

I've been busy! And posting has gone out the window. I was doing so good.

I applied for a spot on the Lily Bee Design Design Team - but, I didn't make it. I'm okay with that. There was some mad talent from what I can see by who they actually picked to make their squad.

It was fun to submit.

This is the layout that I submitted. After this, I did a lot of research on taking better pictures of your work. It's really frustrating to do a fun and whimsy layout, and then it just doesn't really show well in a photo. And, their products are so nice to work with. They have the best rub-ons.

Oh well! Better luck next time!

Happy Monday!
