Two is Too Much!

Happy Sunday!  After tons of contemplating and with much more crafty stuff to share, I have decided to narrow my crafting blogs back down to just ONE.  So, if you enjoy the Handmade-Today blog, I hope you will switch over to my other blog, Linda Barutha Designs, and continue to follow me.  I've been creating new items and classes, and it is just too much to be sharing all of it in more than one place.  And, for those of you that utilize my small business coaching and online marketing services, I am still VERY busy with that work as well, which you can find more about on my website, www.LindaBarutha.com. 

No matter how you do it, I hope you will continue to find me;D

New Cardmaking Class!

Yippy!  I just completed designing my Blooming Texture Cardmaking Class! 

If you live near Mukwonago, WI, I will be teaching this class in person on September 11th.  But now for some bigger news...I'm packaging this class and making it available to everyone!  This class features 2 Ippity Stamp Sets and designer paper from October Afternoon.  My Blooming Texture class kit will teach you how to create your own flowers and add plenty of texture to all of your papercrafting.  Click the links in the sidebar to order your Blooming Texture Class Kit today!

A little of this and that...

Yesterday was my birthday and considering that I'm now just one year away from the big 50, it was a good one.  I haven't been stressed about this dark number, but check back with me next year at this time;D  I want to say a special "thank you" to everyone that wished me a great BDay via text, email, facebook and good 'ol fashioned telephone! 

On another cheery note, I spent last weekend cleaning and organizing my craft room.  I put a collage of my new pictures under the "Creative Spaces" page on my blog.  I hope you check it out and enjoy;D

New Stamps and Journals

Good morning!  After spending my ENTIRE Saturday cleaning and reorganizing my craft room, I finally had some time left over to sit down and play with my new Ippity stamps:D

So much fun!  I think I'll be back in my space to create even more!  Happy Sunday everyone:D

Let's Get Ippity!

I hope you will join us for:

Join us on Splitcoaststampers forum tomorrow, as we reveal all of the rubber goodness!  Then, when you see what you like, shoot me an email and I'll get it ordered for you:)

What's an Ippity Chick?

Well, an {Ippity} Chick is a beautiful princess that will bestow wonderful rubber stamps upon you in return for cash:D

Check out their awesome Spring Collection!  Oh, and did I mention the paper?!  When I was at CHA, I was doing a make n' take (below) at the Ippity booth and I fell in love with the paper we were using.  It is from October Afternoon.  The combination of Ippity's beautiful products and reasonable prices were just too iresistable for me to pass up! 

So, I will feature Ippity goodies as a part of my blog for you to drool over:D  Stay tuned for more!

Looking for the Crafty

This is the beginning of my FAVORITE time of the year!  My birthday is in August and this always reminds me of the children going back to school and the onset of fall...cooler whether, colors and smells!  When I was a child, every birthday gift included going back to school clothes.  And believe it or not, I loved it!

As an adult, I also get very rejuvenated at this time of year.  So, I have two goodies to share with you today.  1) I am now an {Ippity} Chick!  2) I'm planning a fall workshop!  So, stay tuned within the next few weeks to find out how you can be a part of my rejuvenation!
