Pictures in Time

I don't think my husband looks here!

He gets my email newsletters and sometimes he even reads them but I am pretty sure he doesn't see this blog! Soo...I think I can share his Father's Day present here before the big day and he won't have a clue! You see, this man has no normal hobbies and those he does have he gets stuff for. Like, he loves to bike and already has this very awesome bike. He loves to read and has a Nook (kind of like a Kindle but from Barnes and Noble). He likes to workout but, how many workout shirts and shorts does one guy need?  BUT-the one thing he loves that he never gets enough of is.....

His girls! I don't think I know anyone quite so smitten with his daughters than my husband! He loves them deeply and he loves them thoroughly. And, they know it-which is awesome to me! So, I decided I would give him more of his girls for Father's Day and-here it is!

I found this cute printer's tray a while back in an antique store and decided it would be fun to add pix and embellies and make it special for him. I think it worked!

I love the way I was able to use some old charms along with new stuff like Tim Holtz's filmstrips (yes, they are back in stock!), Jolee's and even some 7 gypsies papers. Honestly, this really didn't take too long and you could do it, too! Wonder how to get a printer's tray? Check out the ones from 7Gypsies in the store. They don't have near as many boxes so you wouldn't have to measure EVERY box before cutting pix! We have them in white and black!  I'll have my tray in the store this week-till Saturday-so stop by to see and get some inspiration! I bet you know a Dad who would love one of these!

A special card for dad!

I've been asked if we will have a special project for dad this year and, of course, the answer is yes! We'll make this fun card in the Creative Cafe next week and kids AND adults are welcome to come! We'll have cafe on Monday from 3-6pm and Thursday from 11am to 2pm. Cost is just $3.00 and includes all materials except adhesive (so bring yours!) You'll even receive a complete package of word stickers so you can make your message say just what you want! 

Camp kits arriving today!

I am so excited! Our camp kits should be arrriving today! I will work hard tonight and tomorrow to get posts up of each of the projects by the weekend! Kids can come to Kid's Cafe on Tuesdays from 3-6pm and make their project with Miss Janet OR you can purchase the kits (for you or the kids!) and make them at home! Either way, I know you will love these great projects from Creative Imaginations!

Going to Charleston with PIT? Jenni Bowlin classes are now available for signups!

Just wanted to let all of you who are planning to take the trip to Charleston with us in August that the class registrations for Jenni Bowlin classes are now available. Here is the link to see what's available. She is teaching THREE classes so check them out!

We are still accepting reservations if you want to ride the bus with PIT! Just email us at pitstore@comcast.net and we'll send you an invoice! We need 30 riders to make the bus happen so don't delay!

Bella and Edward!

I have to preface this post by saying that I have never read any of the Twilight books and I only went to see the movies because my daughter wanted to see them and I wanted to know what she was watching! I have complained about the movies and really don't "get" the whole deal. BUT-we just received a beautiful kit from BoBunny that I took home to put together this weekend and I couldn't help but notice that the colors were perfect for a "twilight" book and thus began a really wierd project for me!

Once I had the book finished, I realized it needed pictures! Who knew that they were out there on that big wide web, just for the copying and pasting? They even have websites devoted to fonts, games and more-all about the "Twilight" series. 

Obviously I had a fun time making this book and you can make one, too! We have the complete kits available at the store for just $19.99 (I added some rhinestones, pearls and a bit of ribbon to finish my book). You could certainly make a "twilight" book or make one about a REAL love story! Either way, it is a fun project.

I'll be giving this book away at our "Eclipse" Crop on Friday, June 26th along with an un-made kit so if you haven't registered, don't miss out! The crop is just $25 and includes your dinner, games and wonderful prizes-like my book! :) Email us at pitstore@comcast.net to make your reservation and we'll send you a PayPal invoice!
