Meeting some Crafting Celebrities

                                  Leeza Gibbons' Wishful Thinking Paper line by Prima Marketing

                                                                    Mark Montano

                                                                      Stacy Caron


While at the National Craft and Hobby Show, I had the priviledge of talking to Leeza Gibbons, about her new book, Take 2.  Her adorable husband was also there and even took this photo! They are so in love and were so cute together. Don't you just love when that happens!!
Next, I got to see my friend, Mark Montano, who is always inspiring us all!! He made sure to give me his newest book, and sign it for me! He is so full of energy and inspiration!
Since this was on my first day of the show, I made sure to see the ever wonderful, Stacy Caron, who is so sweet, and genuine! Love that she gave me her book, and 2 of her exclusive dies, including that adorable crown one. Hoping her team, and Clear Scraps, who I was there with, will join together to use the acrylic to come up with some fun stuff! I know it will be a great matchup!
Hope you check out their blogs, and see all the fun stuff I got to see at the show.
Bye for now,
Beverly

Quick Christmas Basket for friends

Just a quick Christmas treat basket for special friends! I love chocolate dipped pretzels but my favorite is WHITE chocolate dipped pretzels, so they get 2 bags of those.  I sprinkled red sugar on top for a pretty look.  Also, made oreos dipped in the chocolate, and some homemade iced gingerbread men.  I added another one of my favorites, Mocha Frappuccinos, just in case they didn't get enough kick from the sugar load!!
Yummy and thoughtful for dear friends we love!
Merry Christmas,
Beverly

Fabulous inspiration

I find the most inspiring things on blogs and have so much fun pinning them! So much fun, that I actually find time to make something from that inpiration! Can you believe it!! Usually it is one or the other but not both.  Recently, I found tons of ideas on At Studio D blog for all things Christmas. Here is the sight At Studio D well as there is a button/badge on the sidebar.
Another site is Clear Scraps and it is also on the sidebar.  I pretty much pin ideas that I find unique and clever to do myself.  Here is my pinterest address: Beverly Jordan on Pinterest
 am also on Facebook and share many ideas there. Find me under Beverly Jordan in Orlando, FL.
So now you know how to connect with all the inspiration I do so that you don't end up bored and in a funk, so to speak! Enjoy! And let me know of your finds as well.

Christmas Cards with Hampton Art stamps

Been working on Christmas cards using the Hampton Art Santa Stops Here stamps they sent to me, with one of the Clear Scraps juicy green ink pads. I did use flowers, papers and ribbon from my stash, too. One is done in traditional colors and the others is not. Enjoying the holiday season!
