Well however you arrived.....I'm glad your here! Check out my Youtube video on the calendar I created that was so very inpsired by the awesome Christina.

My calendar pages are cut from a Stampin' Up top note die.

Ruthie's Banner Blog Hop

Welcome! I'm so super excited to be participating in Ruthie's Banner blog hop! This is my very first time ever doing it and I had a blast!

So this is the banner that I created. I've taken two pictures of it, one lying flat on my craft table and the other standing.

I've used a beautiful paper collection from My Minds Eye, Melissa Frances chipboard, the Cricut cartidges Winter Woodland and Joys of the Season. I've cut poinsettia's out of wool felt too!

Be sure to check out my Youtube video on the banner.




For my blog candy giveaway I will be giving a "JOY" banner kit similar to what I've created. The chipboard will be a different shape, but it will use the same paper collection. So please sign up to follow my blog and leave a comment on this post. I will choose a winner on Monday Nov 8th.

So come back on Saturday for all of the awesomeness!!

Bottle Swap Sign Ups Start Today

So today the "official" sign ups start for my second plastic bottle swap. It will be a 2 liter this time around. Check out my Youtube channel (yoliebean) to watch the videos on the first swap I hosted. It was so much fun. I'm also going to be uploading a video to Youtube in a bit regarding this swap. Take a look....

So the way you sign up is to send me an email to yoliebean@gmail.com with "Bottle Swap" in the subject line. Please include your full name, Youtube name (if you have a channel) and street address. I will be contacting everyone as a group when sign ups close on Wednesday the 10th.

U.S. swappers only, sorry. It can be very pricey to ship international. And there are limitations as to what type of container you can put in the mail.

All the details will follow....Let's just get you all signed up first!
