Baby Shower Card

I feel like I've fallen off the blogging wagon a bit. I've been super busy, but excited to say that I've filed my new business with the county and will be unveiling a new Sugar Fox blog/website soon! I'm super excited :) It's rewarding and I really wish in high school I would have known I wanted to be a business woman I could have been so much farther along! ha.


Work has been super busy but I was able to squeeze in some crafting time and work on this baby shower card:

Snow!








Blizzard of 2011! I pictured piles of snow falling inside our house, but that didn't exactly happen. Excuse my ridiculous head gear :) and the horrible video :) Work is closed, snow day!!! Maybe I should have stocked up on more food .....hmmm oh well break open the wine!

Gettin' My Craft On



This is a scrapbook I made my sister, Claire, for Christmas. I love these Tim Holtz Grungboard Books. So fun to distress, paint, embellish, etc... on another note, Monday is over! Hooray! I am skipping my Pilates class,but I did manual labor all day so it's OK. Plus the weather here is yucky. Wintry Mix is the worst kind of mix there is.

Market Research Trip


A little peak into my market research trip......big things on the horizon (possibly the very distant horizon, but they are still on it!) :)

Quick Birthday Card



Made this quick birthday card for my Father in Law this morning. Don't worry my husband already brought over the card, so I didn't spoil the surprise. Happy Sunday! I'm off to the movies and doing some secret market research for something awesome!

Creative Space






I told myself I was going to spend time in my little studio space this weekend making stuff. That didn't happen. Aside from being busy I wasn't feeling too creative this weekend. I started thinking it might be because my space looks crowded and messy. I'm thinking some organization and cleaning are in order. But I don't really like organizing or cleaning. Such is life. I'm thinking some new paint colors(turquoise and red?) and some drapes to cover the closet (i.e. Penny's kitty litter room) Here are some pics of the room now, and hopefully soon I'll have some after pics of a brand new studio space!

Cleaning up!




Putting away the christmas decorations is always a little sad but this year Penny helped me out.

inspiration

So Monday I go back to work after a long and relaxing 10 days off. I have a tendency to let work take over my life and not really get much else done. This year one of my goals is to make time to be creative, to make things, even if I'm the only one who thinks what I make is cool or good enough, it's the act of making that I really enjoy. So heres to finding balance in the new year, making time for whatever it is you like to do and maybe some days just curling up on the couch and watching t.v. because that's o.k. too.

Thank you 2010. Last year was a crazy year for us, I graduated college, got a job, Ryan and I both got laid off, both got new jobs. There were new additions in the family, and a passing. Good times , bad times, friends, music, laughing, some crying but mostly laughing.
Here is some quick thank you cards I created for the wonderful christmas gifts we received.
I'm looking forward to 2011. Happy one one twenty one one :)
