National Craft Month

Hey crafters, how are you enjoying this years craft month? What are you working on? I have been making a crochet hat on and off since January. I saw this beginner tutorial with Melanie K. Ham on YouTube, Click Here to see the video. I hope to finish it this month. It's been great to try a different craft and learn to use other skills. Fingers crossed my hat will at least be wearable when I am done! LOL!


If you aren't a crafter, give it a try! There  are all sorts of relaxing arts and crafts to explore out there. I have even seen craft kits on Amazon which is perfect for a beginner.

With all the stress going on in this world right now, using your hands in a fun and distracting activity is a great way to cope.

So get to crocheting, papercrafting, sewing, baking, painting or whatever floats your boat.Try something new. You might be happily surprised with what you discover! Thanks for stopping by!

    That hat is your colour, Kelly. Bet it will look great on you when you are done. Hope you share a photo. My mother knitted and crocheted and embroidered, but sadly I never picked up the skill. Good for you going out and learning new ways to use your creativity!

    The only craft I am working on this month is scrapbooking, but I am getting lots of pages finished.

      Who knows, you may get into crocheting at some point, Dee. I had know plans to get into last year. All the ladies were all into it and I was not interested. Then, the fun bug hit me and it was a nice option for me.

      Thanks Lisa for stopping by! I love the color too. I went over the directions again and my dimensions were all off. So, I took it apart and started again. Still working on it and can't wait to finish it. :)

Vintage Love is Here

I love making greeting cards for Valentine's Day. When my husband and I were dating, he started a tradition of giving each other cards for special occasions. I hadn't been a big card person then but after he started giving me so many great cards, I loved it. I loved giving as much as receiving them. Valentine's Day was one of the best times to get a wonderful card from him. So you can say, he is one of the reasons I got into card making. I loved that feeling of receiving a card from someone I loved and loved me. So with that in mind, we are happy to introduce our "Vintage Love" Collection . I enjoyed creating a daytime and night time versions of these cards. I love the variety that came from my limited supplies. If you need a special card for your loved ones, they will be available in our Etsy store (  www.kellyron.etsy.com   ) for $5.00 each plus shipping and handling . Also, if you would like us to type your expressions on the inside of the card or a organ...

Live Forward

Happy October to all! I am getting ready for the holidays already and hope to have some Christmas cards to share soon. While I am in card mode and am still enjoying creating faces and painting. Here is one of the last ones I did called, "Live Forward." Just a reminded to keeping looking ahead in life. Driving like life is supposed to be done by looking through the windshield not the rear view window. (Oh, that is a good one. LOL!) Also, I loved using strips of patterned paper in the background. Then painted over them with layers of colors and then added stamps and that face. Isn't she pretty? I am so proud I am learning to draw profiles. They have been hard to do but I am starting to get it. Take a look! Thanks for looking and hope you have a terrific day!

Our Romantic Anniversary Dinner

Happy Thursday! I hope your week has been great.  Today I wanted  to share some of our wedding anniversary pictures with you.  Last Sunday, my hubby arranged for us to have a romantic dinner at the very place where we had our wedding reception.  I was so excited when I found out that they set up a table for us to have the whole banquet room to ourselves.  How great was that??? The restaurant is right on the bay and has the most spectacular  views.  So when we arrived they had a table set up for us right by the windows so we could get an even better view.  They had the rest of the room set up for an event but I still could remember how it looked the night of our wedding with the lights and the dance floor.  Plus the left side of the room is nothing but windows so you can see more of this secluded bay. So as we dined we watched the sunset and it was so fabulous.  Even at night all the lights from the surroundin...
