The theme at the Paper Maniac Inspiration blog this week is “Favorite Things.” We were to use three of our favorite products from the Paper Maniac store to use on our creation!
Since I’ve been shopping with Patti almost since they opened, this was easy. My very favorite thing that Patti carries are my Copic markers. I love them almost as much as Paper Maniac!!! I buy the Copic Kit Club every month (I think it’s 14 months now) so I now have quite a selection and it was a lot easier on the budget than trying to buy them in sets.
My other favorite things are the beautiful stamp from the Unity June store kit and the stunning Crate Paper Restoration DP. Plus, you all know that butterflies are one of my very favorite things? Love them!
I have told you before, that I live in the “banana belt” of Idaho. Our weather is usually warmer and dryer than the rest of the state. If we get snow, it usually melts by mid afternoon. That’s part of the reason I live here.
Well, we’ve had snow on the ground for over a week now!!! Then it snowed on and off all afternoon with a 90% chance of precipitation through tomorrow and still a smaller chance of rain through the week. IT DOESN’T SNOW HERE!!! However, tomorrow is supposed to be in the high 30s so maybe some will melt.
Okay, now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, maybe I’ll feel better. It has been a bad day here at the Fairy Studio (that’s what I’ve decided to call my studio—I have a few fairy dolls hanging to help keep my muse going). They are working on the plumbing next door so I was without water ALL DAY. They turned it on again and while it was on, I had a phone call that they are shutting it off in 1/2 hour until tomorrow when they get done fixing stuff over there. Ugh!!!
For the next few days, I’m going to work on making ornaments for my Christmas tree that I can’t get out of my shed until the weather gets better. (There I am complaining again—sorry). I have a white feather tree and I’m making some vintage style ornaments to decorate it! I can’t wait to show them to you as I create and to get my tree set up and decorated!!!
Maybe I can get out tomorrow to purchase some of the things I need. I’m not going out after dark because they are having slide-offs everywhere!!!
I’m breaking my mood now and I hope you have as good day!
Blessings,
Christine

This is fab Christine, I love the butterfly. Thanks for sharing with us at Gingerloft this week. xx
Oh my word Christine I absolutely love, love this card, that butterfly and the bow look truly wonderful. I don't mind you having a little moan Christine, the weather seems to be awful in a lot of places we have snow and freezing conditions here in the UK and it is not nice at all, I have had my heating on non stop for a week now. Must be the climate change.

This is really stunning, your colouring of the butterfly is perfect and I love it in 3d too. Also really pretty papers.
As for the snow we are in the same situation, living on the most easterly point of the UK we don't normally get snow and if on the rare occasion we do like yourself it has melted by early afternoon. This year however we have had non stop snow for 10 days, all our schools are closed and hospitals on emergencies only. My husband who left for Egypt to work 10 days ago is now stuck out there and can't get home, however I think he got the better deal he is in 40 degree's we are in -4!! Moan over!!
