From the Heart…
Paper Crafts Magazine’s latest special issue has been released...Gifts from the Heart. I just love this theme as so much of paper crafting is like that. Little gifts from the heart. I love creating things to give to my loved ones. One of the designs that I have published in this magazine is a little trinket box. The box is altered with My Mind’s Eye patterned paper and heavy acrylic transparency and embellished with rub-ons and velvet ribbon. My daughter’s room is in these colors and I believe it has been spoken for when it returns. A lot of the projects I design are created with special people in mind. 
Floral Trinket Box
This latest magazine is available on craft or bookstore shelves and is also available from Paper Crafts Magazine.
I once again had the best of intentions of having a {C’est Bon} entry for you today. As we were up to midnight both Thursday and Friday working on the tile and yesterday a few of the cupboards arrived, it just didn’t happen. Life IS going to get easier, right?! In the meantime, I have a little peek at my new kitchen. Notice the tightly cropped photo! LOL The window needs trimmed and there is still construction everywhere. Some of the upper cabinets will be arriving Wednesday night and we’re hoping to get the tile grouted soon as well. Slowly but surely…..
Have a wonderful day…

Love your choice of cabinets! I can’t wait to see it when it’s all done. We did some kitchen renovating when we moved into this house and I know what a pain in the butt it is to live without a functional kitchen. You can only eat so much fast food.
Gorgeous box - I bet your daughter treasures all of the things you design for her!
The cabinets are beautiful - so rich and dark! I love them! I wish we could remodel with custom cabinets but the cost is too much for my pocketbook!
The box is beautiful! The kitchen looks fabulous too - love the counter top and the stain on the cabinets - can’t wait to see the finished product! I’m sure you can’t wait, either, LOL!
Look at that beautiful shiny sink!! Can’t you just imagine the summer sunlight glinting off it?
That one time, before it’s full of dishes
Love the box; TFS!
Love the box, J congrats on the pub! your cabinets and counter look awesome!
Beautiful box and congratulations on having it published! Your cupboards look beautiful too, and the countertop is fabulous! (Is that granite?)
Your box is beautiful — congrats on the pub! You have to be SO excited about your kitchen — the cabinets and countertop are gorgeous!
What a beautiful box. I love what you do. Congrats on being published. That is always a thrill.
such a lovely box, pretty stamping frame around the opening, just love the stamping on the acrylic!
Love the color of your cabinets, I bet your getting so excited to just have it all done!
Hi Julia,
As hard as it may seem to imagine, all the effort that goes into a new kitchen will be well worth it. The pics are beautiful, can’t wait to see the finished product.
I also love your trinket box! Thanks for posting.
What a beautiful gift box, Julia! Your daughter is one lucky gal! I’m looking forward to picking up my copy of the new mag so I can see what else is in there.
Your new cabinets are just gorgeous — that color is SO rich looking. The countertop, sink, and flooring choices complement is beautifully. Me thinks you have a great eye for color and detail. Can’t wait to see it all complete…and functional!
Look at that countertop!!! WAHOO!!! I’m so happy, J, that you’re seeing so much progress now! And I love that box! Congrats on yet another pub! You rock!
