One World One Heart Event




And the winner is Cindy! Congrats and I'll be mailing your package on Monday. Thanks to all that stop by and left some lovely comments.
This event is an awesome way to connect with other bloggers from around the world. There is still time to sign up and participate. Click here for more information: One World One Heart .

So let me tell you a little about myself. I'm a crafting domestic goddess, who has 5 adopted children ranging in age from 12 years to 2 years, 4 boys and 1 poor stuck in the middle girl, but don't feel to sorry for her, she knows how to play the daddy's girl card quit well...lol I've been married to my wonderful and supportive husband for almost 25 years (come this September).

I've been paper crafting for several years, started off making cards at a local stamp camp, and have evolved since then. Since my kids are all adopted and most were adopted at an older age, I find that I do a lot of scrapbooking pages for them so when the get old they feel like they have a past. I still make cards, but really enjoy doing collages, ATC, and altering anything I can get my hands on. At this point my kids are afraid to sit still for the fear that I might break the modge podge out to use on them...lol.. I love all things vintage, grunge, steampunk and shabby chic. I'm very "shy" about my art but still try to put it out there for feedback so I can see where I can improve. So that's pretty much me in a nut shell. Thanks for sticking with me.

Now for the goodies (aka: door prize) I've decided to put up a few of the magnetic bottle caps and scrabble tile pendants that I have made. All you need to do it leave me a comment with your email in your comment so I can contact you. Drawing will be held on Feb. 17, 2011. Here they are, I went with a vintage women theme:

Door Prize


 Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to leave a comment for your chance to win the door prize.

  1. What adorable charms and pendants Jamie. You shouldn't be too shy about your work. It's great!

  2. Hello Jamie,

    you must be a proud mom of these five children ! I guess it is a lot of work to raise 5 children, but so worthy, even more knowing they are adopted and you and your husband give them a chance in life, they maybe not would have had with their biological parents.
    Loving them is what makes you their real mom !

    Nice bottlecaps and pendants you have !

    greetings from belgium

    If you haven’t already, I hope you’ll drop by both of my giveaways (at Twigs and Tulle and Kindergarten’s 3 R’s: I’m giving away a mini bunting and some pattern blocks) during this awesome blogging event! Happy OWOH!

  88. The simple fact that you are in the world makes me smile. Thank you so much for being there for your five children and for having the insight to give them as much of a tangible past as possible. One of my dear friends was adopted and I always loved the look on his face when he explained to us that while we were just born in our families he was 'chosen'.

    As for the beautiful work you do, heck yes! I'd love to have a chance to be gifted some your lovlies! :)
