Dear Family & Friends....

.....it's been a while...since my last post....
Lot's of changes....

But, in case you were wondering...I am STILL here creating!
I have had to put my travelling shows on hold temporarily...but 
is still up & running...and the BeeHive is a buzz!

I am currently concentrating on studio work...submitting for publications and design team calls....and of course, my etsy shop!

My blog appearance needs a little work...and I am hoping there is someone out there who can help me/advise how to tweek my appearance.

In the meantime...please keep watching my little shop updates...and see me on  facebook @ StudioBeeCreations!

I am also looking for some artsy gift shoppes that would be interested in carrying my mixed media designs. Please pass along my linky-do if you know of anyone !.....Thanks!!

creative blessings,
debbie

Home again...home again...Jiggity Jig!!

Soooooooooooo...I travelled to Atlanta to particpate in
The Revival of Vintage show at The Goat Farm!
 
It was absolutely awesome...being "back in the saddle again"...on the road doing a show!
***but...by myself...I really missed my hubby!***
I met up with some wonderful vendors...Alexa Lett   who has been so very wonderful, and encouraging to me, since I met her at the show last fall.....and also Kristen & Evie from
Ella Marie Clothing ....who, without them, I would still be packing up!...lol
 
 
 
Now.....I am getting ready for my NEXT adventure...The Hayloft Barn Sale show in Clarksville, Tn
...I am over-the-top excited to be able to see some old friends from when we lived in Tennessee!
**************************
Speaking of  friends....over the weekend, I was able to meet up with a sweet childhood (teenage years) friend whom I graduated high school with!...seeing Sadie after all these years was sooooo awesome!!!....my only regret is that we did not get a snapshot taken of us together!....maybe next time?
Tomorrow...I am back to the "regular" job...but counting down the days for  the next show!
Making applications online is  MUCH easier nowadays....we've come a LONG way baby!
 
.....until next time!

Let's All Go to the HOP!!!!!...Spring!

Here we go again!....another, MOST awesome bloghop of Creativity!!!
 
Here's the line-up:
 
3. Debbie- http://studiobeecreations.blogspot.com/  ( you are here)
...
 
 
So......for some yummy SpRiNgTiMe inspiration:
 
I scored a box of VINTAGE wooden hangers at GW....my NEW GW that is just a mile from my house...loveeeeee....
 

 
Most of them had Mr. Fred Epting sharpied (is that a word) on them.....half were this type of suit/pants hangers...the other 1/2 were the spring load/clampy ones (no before pic!...sorry)
 
and sooooooooooooooo.......
 
I made up a huge assortment of DOUBLE-SIDED (kinda like a two-fer...gotta love that!) hangers that can be for displaying art...photos.....or even scrapbook pages (out of the books that no-one takes out to look at)....
 
They can be changed out so very easily...hang them around the house....one side has wordage..the other, assorted vintagey fun....
 
 
 
I used my ENDLESS supply stash of scrapbook papers...and applied with my FAVORITE medium of ModPodge....some assorted paints...and embellies....using what I have!
 
Hope you have enjoyed the hop so far!...scroll back up to the top...and visit the rest of our
 Spring Team!!!!
 
Have a super blessed day!

FUNNY for SUNDAY on MONDAY

Goooooooooood Day!!....it is dark-thirty...I am UPUPUP spending a little time in The Bee Hive Studio before my work day begins at LOWES.....
I cannot believe where the week goes...I know I am in the studio at least a couple of hours every day.....working on orders and playing CLEAN UP /Catch Up with all my STUFF......I know I keep on saying NEW THINGS will be in my ETSY shop, but, orders come FIRST!......sooooooooo...for todays post ( just to AT LEAST get some light reading material up)...I have attached this fun quip from my friend Joane...(Sorry....I do not know the origin of this funny to give just acknowledgments)......however, enjoy the read:

Through the eyes of a child:
The Children's Bible in a Nutshell

In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was
nothing but God, darkness, and some gas. The Bible says,
'The Lord thy God is one, but I think He must be a lot older than that.
Anyway, God said, 'Give me a light!' and someone did.
Then God made the world.
He split the Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were naked,
but they weren't embarrassed because mirrors hadn't been
invented yet.
Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating one bad
apple, so they were driven from the Garden of Eden.
Not sure what they were driven in though, because they didn't have cars.
Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother as long
as he was Abel.
Pretty soon all of the early people died
off, except for Methuselah, who lived to be like a million or something.
One of the next important people was Noah, who was a good guy,
but one of his kids was kind of a Ham. Noah built a
large boat and put his family and some animals on it. He asked
some other people to join him, but they said they would
have to take a rain check.
After Noah came Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob was more
famous than his brother, Esau, because Esau sold Jacob his
birthmark in exchange for some pot roast. Jacob had a son
named Joseph who wore a really loud sports coat.
Another important Bible guy is Moses, whose real name was
Charlton Heston. Moses led the Israel Lights out of
Egypt
and away from the evil Pharaoh after God sent ten plagues on
Pharaoh's people. These plagues included frogs, mice, lice,
bowels, and no cable.
God fed the Israel Lights every day
with mannicotti. Then he gave them His Top Ten Commandments.
These include: don't lie, cheat, smoke, dance, or covet your
neighbor's stuff.
Oh, yeah, I just thought of one more:
Humor thy father and thy mother.
One of Moses' best helpers was Joshua who was the first
Bible guy to use spies. Joshua fought the battle of Geritol and
the fence fell over on the town.
After Joshua came David. He got to be king by killing a
giant with a slingshot. He had a son named Solomon who had
about 300 wives and 500 porcupines. My teacher says he was wise,
but that doesn't sound very wise to me.
After Solomon there were a bunch of major league prophets.
One of these was Jonah, who was swallowed by a big whale and then
barfed up on the shore. There were also some minor league
prophets, but I guess we don't have to worry about them.
After the Old Testament came the New Testament. Jesus is the
star of The New. He was born in
Bethlehem in a barn.
(I wish I had been born in a barn too, because my mom is always saying
to me, 'Close the door! Were you born in a barn?' It would
be nice to say, 'As a matter of fact, I was.')
During His life, Jesus had many arguments with sinners like
the Pharisees and the Republicans.
Jesus also had twelve opossums.
The worst one was Judas Asparagus. Judas was so evil that they
named a terrible vegetable after him.
Jesus was a great man. He healed many leopards and even
preached to some Germans on the Mount.
But the Republicans and all those guys put Jesus on trial before Pontius the Pilot. Pilot didn't stick up for Jesus. He just washed his hands instead.
Anyways, Jesus died for our sins, then came back to life again.
He went up to Heaven but will be back at the end of the
Aluminum. His return is foretold in the book of Revolution.

Hope you have a MARVELOUS, MOST OUTSTANDING MONDAY!

Special Request....A Card for Lois....


Ok..everyone....Lets ALL get together a do this for a most awesome cause...Pass the word...I read this on Corie's blog...and had to participate and post....Please join in!...Creative blessings, Debbie

A Card for Lois

Wilna, over at http://www.wilnaf.blogspot.com/ has the following request:
"I have a friend, Lois. She is 40 years old and has cancer. She is in pain and needs positive, uplifting people to remind her continually to live and that life is worth living. She has an amazing husband and four beautiful kids. The doctors are not giving her long to live, but I believe that God is the author of life. And I know you believe that too...
If you want to be entered into this awesome draw for a RAK(and if anyone want to contribute prizes, big or small, please email me) then this is what you are going to do: take 10 minutes of your time and create a card for Lois. A card that speaks of life and laughter, of fun and flowers. A word of encouragement, maybe your favorite scripture. Take a picture of it and upload it HERE for all to see. Then you post it to her. I visit her every day and I will make a list of all the cards she gets and I will let her draw names out of a hat for winners. The deadline for all the cards to reach her in Canada is March 20th. So, if you want to play (and I hope every single person that reads this will) make her a card, and post it. THAT's how simple it will be.
Please email me: wilna71@gmail.com if you want to participate. I will email you her address. Those who are willing to add this little he{ART} flower to your blog to help me get the word out, will be in my good books for life. You can just right click the image and save it to your computer and add it to a side bar. Please link THIS post to it."

Catching UP Accountability..ME & BFF...and some rambling..

Catching up on my personal challenge of a scrapbook page a day....and THANKS to SANDY, A Colourful World for pointing out...I am late!...lol.....I have come to the conclusion that it is MUCH easier to create a few pages at a time...since EVERYTHING ( & I mean EVERYTHING) is already out and a mess(I AM a messy scrapper/crafter/creator...I cannot help myself!)...Anyhoo..this double page spread of me & my BFF, Laura, The Stampin'Soldier gets me caught up....for now!....
These pics are from CKC in Nashville at Opryland Hotel ,Spring 2006.....We took 9 classes...did ALOT of shopping...and had a BLAST! Its so funny...although we are decades apart in age ( Laura is the age of my youngest child!...and I am older than her MOM!)....we have so much in common....People ALWAYS ask..."Are you Mother & Daughter???"...and we both grimace, and say ( smiling thru our teeth)..."No, we are Bestest Friends!!".....We met at Hobby Lobby in the scrapbook isle( where else??) 3 years ago...and just CLICKED!.....We both have different styles...but, then again very similar...does that make sense?....ANYHOO..( rambling )....We JUST "GET" each other!
I am actually coming out of my" fear of journaling box"..and trying to do more on the page..instead of my secret tag spots. The picture on the right side of this page was when Laura Re-Up'd......Seriously...I dont know what that stands for, except she signed back up with the US Army for ANOTHER 4 years of service to our country.....she is MY Hero!!....I always get a kick out of all the "letters" the military uses...ya know like ABC....WXYZ....oh, & my fave...TCBY (oh, sorry...thats yummy frozen yogurt!...lol)
So....all caught up here....for now......The past few days have been emotional & draining for me....some personal stuff....but through the helping hands of the good Lord above and perserverence, it will all be good.
I am so blessed with my friends...both locally...and "cyberly"....My sweet friend Dawn, All Pink Girl, sent me some VERY FUN stamped images to "play" with ( Thanks, Dawnie!)along with some touching and uplifting emails....so, I hope to get some cards made up in the next couple of days!...hmmm...AFTER I clean up, I guess!( did I say I am messy??)
So.....thats my post....& my rambling.....please leave a comment...and come back & visit soon!...I am working on some BLOG CANDY...Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee sure to stay tuned!!!
Have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!!
Creative blessings,
Debbie
