Etsy shop is OPEN!

Hello, Hello, Hello! So excited......finally the Esty shop Lisa Lisa Treats is open! I have but just a few things on there to start....it takes me awhile! You would think my computer skills should improve, but they are not fast or well enough!  A few cards, wall hangers, address books, canvas', and going to put up my crocheted items! My sister wants me to have a website...I like that idea because I can have the biscotti on there too, however, blogging may end because I can't seem to stay on top of it all!!! I apologize to you about that. Just not enough hours in the day, but we will see! In the meantime I had a lovely card class last week...love those ladies that have shown up to everyone of my classes, they call themselves "the 3 Amigos"! I will post them if they are in my que..still can't get immediate photos taken to add to my blog! Very frustrating, I found this is why I don't post more, I like to share photos!  I hope to be working upstairs today, it's a beautiful rainy day, perfect for creating! Thank you for still checking in on me here and I hope you might find me at Etsy and follow me!

Valentines cheer

Valentine's cheer is definitely going on here for me...reds, pinks, aqua, black, lavender!!!   I sequenced these felt hearts by hand...one little one at a time.... And these little crocheted flowers around buttons was shared on Facebook and I couldn't help myself! I had to make them!  Being able to work with little projects,  settling in my comfy spot, letting my mind go, gives me such a inner 

peace.....you know of which I speak.  All my worries seem to fall aside and ideas, creatations take off, wether I actually get that end project done, isn't what it's about, it's about the creative process....it's me with recipes, what's going into my garden, wether my first sewn bag all have crocheted flowers or felt..maybe both, what type of yarn and color will my next pair of gloves be, quotes and the lovely swirls that will frame them for my next card or canvas..and it goes on and on. I get so excited for each holiday as it approaches...and I enjoy every day after that, that I can create the emotion, love and memory that they hold for me....it's a happy place, and I hope it might make you happy too!

January card class

Here's a few of the cards we will be doing..having issues with this site, so I wanted to post what I could before it froze again!  I enjoyed embossing, have you embossed beforehand?? It's so neat to see it come to life under the heat gun!  We have a few of these in this months class..looking forward to seeing my friends in Fallbrook's! I have more projects to post...soon!

January card class for my Fallbrook Womens group! 4 out of 5 shown here.....I had fun rediscovering embossing powder....one of the many

Happy 2015

Hello and thank you for checking back with me! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season! I was so distracted with good stuff that I neglected my blog...feel horrible but.....this new year was upon us..I want to embrace it with an open heart, positive attitude and an adventurous spirit!  I have been working on opening my Etsy shop..a project I started almost 4 years ago.   I didn't have my Fallbrook Womens class in December, so I tried to use that time to be productive with my shop....well the baking, decorating, and wonderful family time I gave into and was blessed with a joyous Chrsitmas....if my iPad would allow me to post the photos I took on New Years Eve, you could understand. It was a winter wonderland at my house...we got snow!!! Maybe it's normal where you live but not here! We got 7 inches of powder! I truly had one of the best ending and beginning of a year ever! In addition to working on my shop, I got orders for Lisa Lisa Treats baking departments! I sold my biscotti and toffee..another dream come true! So 2015,  here's to my adventure, baking and creating to bring joy, inspiration and making many wonderful memories!  I will try to get more photos uploaded to share what I am working on, until then, keep creating!

november card class

I am just loving these chalkboard paper stack cards!  I have my last class for the year with these wonderful ladies from Fallbrook! I am making some English toffee to share with them today. They love it as much as I do! I have so many projects I have been doing but of course had problems with my iPad..however,I am making a promise to myself to try and be better about posting on my blog...I really do enjoy documenting the little things in my life, wether anyone reads them or not!  But for today I wanted to share the cards I will be teaching in this next weeks class...and look forward to seeing what I come up with for our january class! Happy thanksgiving to you!

Well

Making seeded paper

Yes, making paper.....my Aunt Mary, who is a healer, by nature and profession...makes many wonderful products. Of these many items, she has formulated a facial oil, that I use every night with my face cream, and sometimes in with my morning cream...however right now, because I want it to last and I feel that I only need it once a day, I use it in the evening. It is so silky, and smooth, which brings me to my next product...glycerin soap...smells fantastic, silky smooth and leaves nothing behind, like most glycerin soaps I have tried.  I also, use a body oil...after I shower.....in the summertime I have a very hard time using lotion in the summer months, hence, oils.  I love her products! She is so talented....and has enough in demand that she is starting her passion into a business. Mary has asked me to make tags, tags that can be planted and grow wild flowers....so today I have made a 12x12 emerald/forest green seeded paper. In a few days I will then draw some leaves and cut them out. We will plant a few, and see what happens! Thanks for checking out my blog. XO

Here's one?..Oct card class

Hello and happy October! We are here already, and I love it! Here is a card for the upcoming class at the Fallbrook Women's center. One of five, I still can't figure how to post the photos that are here on my IPad....so this one made it, and it's one of my favorites..still love the mini roses and the paper feathers. It's finally cooled down in the evenings, I have just washed my afghans in celebration!  This month I have just two fall cards and 3 Christmas cards. Next month all five will be Christmas, and no class December. January's class will be valentines and back to everyday celebrations, for which we are grateful! I will post the other cards once I can..until then, hope the Halloween vibe finds you!
