GASC Shoppers Beware!

If you signed up for Club SEI at GASC, you might want to check out this 2Peas thread.  Apparently, SEI's truck was broken into while there were at Chantilly and all of the membership cards with member's credit card numbers were stolen.  If you signed up for Club SEI at GASC, give SEI a call & see if your information has been compromised.

Currants...

IMG_3481

My currant bush is overflowing with little red currants.  Does anybody have a good recipe using currants?  I grew up in the Southwest and had never tasted a currant until we planted this bush a few years ago.  I have no idea what to do with these little things.  Help?

Everything Book

I've always had an "Everything Book" -- a place to keep everything I pull out of magazines and print off of the web.  Sometimes my "Everything Book" was a three ring binder, filled with page protectors and punched out articles.  Useful, but not pretty.  Sometimes it was a blank journal purchased at Barnes & Noble and filled with pictures I've clipped.  Pretty, but not useful.  It was too bulky and the spine would eventually split. 

Recently I came up with a solution for this... Meet my brand spankin' new "Everything Book":

Everything Book for web

Form meets function.  This go 'round I used Rubicoil binding, so my pages lay flat when I open it.  Muuuuuuuch better.

Once the book is full, I can clip the ribbons on the spine and put a whole new bound core back in.  I love it!!

I've carried this with me to a couple of classes lately & people have asked if I could make them one.  Although I don't have time to make them for each person, I know that not everyone has access to a Rubicoil to do it themselves.  If you want to buy a kit (you'll have to provide your own cover papers), head on over to my Etsy store.

I also just added my Nancy Drew Date Book kits to my Etsy store as well!

If you have access to a Rubicoil, feel free to ask me questions about how I put it together.  Just drop me an e-mail at korie@wewillalwayshaveparis.com.

Martha? At Wal-Mart?

Sweet Nerissa just sent me a couple of photos she took with her cell phone at Wal-Mart the other day (she apologizes for the lousy resolution):

Have any of you spotted the MSC line at your local Wal-Mart?

Quick & Easy Altered Lunchbox Case

Ever wonder what to do with those gorgeous Maya Road cases once you've used all of the chipboard on your projects?  I made a cute little box for my daughter in less than 5 minutes this afternoon:

IMG_3203

Seriously...  less than five minutes.  Here's how to do it:

  • Print a black & white photo on transparency and cut it down to fit in the blank space on the front.  I actually rounded the corners so that it would be a perfect fit.
  • Use spray adhesive ON THE FRONT of the photo and then glue it to the inside of the front of the case.
  • Apply a rub-on to the front and then add a corresponding ribbon.

Easy peasy.  Now I'm going to fill it with cookies for our road trip to Sesame Place this weekend.

For those of you attending the Summer in Paris retreat next month, I just received a huge order of Maya Road goodies to sell in my on-site store.
