New Artwork Alert

Just wanted to let you know I have posted new artwork in my galleries...I have been busy playing with the goodies I brought home from the CTMH Leadership Convention! I am soooo in love with this company! You can link at the right or you can go directly to my homepage www.tiffanycoogan.myctmh.com to link to My Art.

Summer Surprises

Wow, it has been awhile... this summer has been unbelievably hot and surprisingly busy! These has been a ton of progress on my house although we still have a long way to go. The master bath is so close to being finished, I can just feel that shower, now if we could just decide on a vanity that we like and more importantly one that will fit in our odd sized hole! All the sliding doors have been replace with french doors that have blinds in the glass, which is so much safer not having cords hanging for the kiddos and animals to get tangled. And great so I don't have to decide on curtains ;o) My office is coming along nicely, the shelves are hung in my closet and decorative shelves have started to go up so I can be surrounded by my art! It is so inspiring to scrapbook in there! Now if I could just decide on a paint color... can you see a pattern developing here? I need help making up my mind! It is so hard though because I have to live with that decision so long as we live here (which I hope is a very, very long time!) Okay, paint not so much...but fixtures and cabinetry just stress me out because I love the look of so many different styles. I could be just as happy in french country as I could in modern minimalist! I doesn't surprise me though because you know those tests they give you in school to decide what kind of thinker you are? Well, I would consistently score smack dab in the middle...I mean really... can someone actually be concrete-sequential and random-scattered at the same time!? I would also score on the future jobs test to be an accountant with a close second of being florist :o) Hey, I guess that could be true... I audit during the day and garden at night! If you know me well though, you know that I cannot successfully grow weeds! Seriously, have you seen my lawn, it is shameful! Anyways, I need to quit rambling! On to the freebies...

New Artwork and a little secret...Sshhh!

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I have posted some new layouts on my other website. I have a couple more coming as soon as I get photos of them loaded. ;o) I am so happy to be in the scrappin' mood! We have been at kind of a stand still on the house projects (for a number of crazy reasons), so I have been able to keep up with cleaning, unpacking, etc (as much as one can around demolition). But this makes my creative juices just bubble over! It is so nice to sit in a cool, clean room and watch Miss H paint while I scrap! I better take advantage of it before more construction starts! Now that I think of it, I am pretty sure the tile is going in tomorrow!!! And I am supposed to be painting the new bathroom door! Ok, so maybe I am not so caught up on household duties but hey who's gonna tell ;o) Not Me!

I will also include with workshop, the cutting directions on how to get 24 more pages out of one Level 2 Paper Pack! Class is scheduled for Friday, March 30th at 7pm at my house.

I am considering offering a second round of this class and need to know how many more racks I need to beg dad to make? Also, wanted to thank everyone for the support and encouraging words on the new workshop format. And yes I give my dad big hugs and lots of thanks for all his help with these projects! After all, I certainly wouldn't be able to do this without him making all these awesome projects for us to enjoy! Thanks Dad, I love you!

So, if you haven't already, please email me asap to sign up! Also, I picked up the racks this weekend and they are awesome!!!

12"x12" Magazine Rack!!!

I am so excited! We have been toying with the idea (per some suggestions ;o) of making the magazine rack into a 12"x12" organizational tool and I think we have figured it out!

If you are interested in this class, please email me asap so that I know how many of these to get made.

Cocoa Beach

Hi there! I just have to share my new favorite place to vacation...Cocoa Beach! Miss H and I followed Daddy down there for a conference he was presenting at and got to spend a couple days wandering around the beach and shopping. It was wonderful, a perfect 74 degrees with a slight breeze during the day and in the low 60's at night.. perfect!

Stylin' Rolodex

Just wanted to share a Rolodex that I just finished for my friend Heather. This is made from the Stylin' Paper Pack with Baby Pink, Hollyhock, and Black. I really like this one, might have to make another one of these!

My new Rolodex!

My hubby finally asked for his Rolodex back, he said I had to quit holding it hostage to show my friends. So, I finally got around to making myself one! My first entry will be all the restaurant delivery numbers! With all the house demolition going on, the last thing I want to do is cook ;o) Anyways, I just wanted to share my Rolodex, it is Hollyhock, Indian Corn Blue, and Garden Green with a cute little flower on the front. Want one for yourself, join me for the Altered Rolodex class this coming Friday, February 2nd at 7pm. Email me now to sign up and choose your colors!

Just a taste!

Just wanted to give you a sneak peek of the Magazine Rack I am working on. I am actually making this one for my daughter's coloring books, nice and big so it fits her crayons, too! An added bonus... my dad designed these so that the interior is 10.5" which means it will hold the CTMH Idea Books and our Cherish Book! I will be making myself a ton of these for my office! Email me, if you want to sign-up for this class. I am still working on the details, but will post the logistics soon!

Sign up for the Altered Rolodex Class
