Happy Sunday!

I have a tag card for you today:


I'm pretty sure that everyone that has been following me for a while knows how much I love tags...I covered this one with Freckled Fawn Pink Classic Airmail.  The card base is Stampin' Up Barely Banana.


The sentiment is from Mama Elephant's 

Good Times

**Garage Sale**

You might remember me mentioning having a Garage Sale yesterday.  

I had a $200 sales goal...the weather definitely did NOT cooperate with me...unfortunately, it was cold and rainy.  I had some diehard garage salers stop by and even some repeat customers.  I'll just say that I made more than 50% of my sales goal and it was a LONG 5 hours.

I took a quick powernap and then met up with my friends for Glass Blowing...

I thought I'd share a couple pictures:  



I thoroughly enjoyed myself.  I've always wanted to try Glass Blowing out.  We each picked a project to make and then picked the colors that we wanted.  I upgraded my project to a 'larger' pumpkin.  Although it might sound boring I decided on a clear pumpkin with the stem being a metallic coppery color.


A big shout out to our friend Christina that so kindly put together the event for us...gotta love Groupons!


In case you're going to ask, we did the actual Glass Blowing...and I was able to help shape the glass but the professionals did everything else....

another cute tag Amy and I love that sentiment. I don't make enough tags (heck I never make them) and need to change that.

Love the pumpkin and what a fun night out. I need to live closer to you and get in on that.

That sentiment right there is why I'm having a hard time not buying those stamps! I just love it to death.
Awesome stripy pattern you made on the tag :)
That sucks that the sale didn't go as well as you'd hoped - 5 hours is a long time to do that without the reward you were looking for. Boo, hiss.
And, glass blowing? AWESOME!!! Don't forget to show us the final pumpkin :)

You just can't go wrong with those stripes! Love your tag card (and the almost banana card base!)

I made my husband promise to slap me if I ever talked about having a garage sale again. I love going to them, but it's definitely not worth having one. I got lucky finding a semi-annual children's clothing resale event that I consign at. Everything else gets donated.

And I've always wanted to do glass blowing. Love Groupon for getting people to do stuff like this. My girlfriends and I did an art class a couple months ago at a gallery. Fun!

Cute tag and super fun sentiment. We've toured the glass factory here and it is so much fun to watch. Absolutely amazing to see a project go from start to finish. Yay you for giving it a try! And how cool to be able to say 'I made that'.
