Hello,
I am having some MEGA sized memory added to my computer. My son checked my computer and I had next to no memory left so I asked what we should do. Ever heard of a Terabyte? Neither had I a few days ago. That is how much memory I am having added to my computer. To get an idea of the capacity of a terabyte, consider the common megabyte (MB). Just over thousand megabytes equals one gigabyte, but just over one million megabytes equals a terabyte!
1,024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte
1,024 gigabytes = 1 terabyte
One terabyte is a trillion bytes (characters) which is also 1000 gigabytes. Or if you prefer, 1 TB = 1000 GB. So how much storage is that, really? Let's do some comparisons... 1 GB of memory is the equivalent of 500,000 typewritten pages, or about one pickup truck of books. So you could say that a terabyte is a thousand librarians driving Ford F150's stacked with literature.
Or in digital terms... the biggest iPod Classic stores 160GB, or about 40,000 songs. Six of those iPods would hold almost one terabyte, enough space to store a quarter-million songs. If you had a shiny new 1-terabtye hard drive, you could stash 300 feature length films, or 40,000 faxes on it. But you'd need 20 of those 1 TB drives to hold the entire print collection of the U.S. Library of Congress.
Like I said, MEGA sized memory. My son helped me pick out what I needed. He thinks I am nuts to add so much memory but the price was to good to pass up. I will be able to have tons of graphics, pictures, music and more stored onto my computer. I also had some RAM added to help my computer fun faster. I need speed to get my work done. If this upgrade of RAM isn't enough I can add some more.
It takes a few hours for the new hard drive to be formatted so I cannot load the pictures of the class projects till later.
Later, Blessings, Diane
Gift Card Holder. Goody/Spa Holder. Slider Card Class
Hello,
I have one final class scheduled before Christmas. You will be making a super cute four pocket gift card holder. A great packaging idea for someone you want to give a variety of gift cards to. WHO would you give so many to you ask. How about a teenager or a child that recently moved to live on their own. Fill with cards for the movies, favorite food place, movie rental place, grocery store, Target, clothing store. Make a Goody/Spa holder. Same as the gift card holder but much larger in size. This has pockets large enough to hold cocoa and spiced cider packets, bath salts or potpourri packets. You can even make your own envelopes to fill with your own bath salt creations or a special cookie. You will also make an adorable slider card that you put your message on one side and attach a gift card to the other.
Class information.
Date: December 9th
Time: 6:30 - 9:00 pm
Cost: $12.00
Bring your class supply kit
Please e-mail or call to save your space.

Another Expresso Yourself Night added to calendar
Hello,
Due to popular request I have added another Expresso Yourself Night to the calendar.
Tuesday, Dec. 2nd will be the last one until January. Come and work on some last minute holiday gift projects. I have recently purchased another Big Shot die cutter so more of you can use one at a time. I have also purchased a few more dies for you to use.
Starting in January I am planning to have a Tuesday technique night during Expresso Yourself night. I will teach you a fun technique that you can use on your papercraft projects and you will also have the opportunity to make a project using the technique.
Looking forward to the new year and some new ideas come.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. Blessings, Diane

Almost Thanksgiving Day
Hello,
I can hardly believe that Thanksgiving Day is almost here. I bought my turkey this weekend and it is now thawing. I am looking forward to all the delicious food prepared for the day. As I prepare for the day with shopping for food, I am reminded of the Thanksgiving meals my parents prepared for the family. My dad was always up early to cook the turkey. It was always daddys job to cook the turkey. He also peeled lots of potatoes for mashed potatoes. My mom would be busy making apple and pumpkin pies. Oh, the aroma of all the food cooking. My mom also put together a relish try of green olives with the red pimento in the center. I never did acquire a taste for those. She also added sweet pickle jerkins, dill pickles and black olives. The black olives were my favorite. When no one was looking I would sneak a couple of the black olives. Well, after a few trips of sneaking there weren't too many olives left. Mom, must of guessed my desire for those olives as when dinner was set the tray was again filled with olives.
I enjoy reflecting on the holiday when I was a child. My mom passed away just prior to my 21st birthday, so I have now had many Thanksgivings without her. I do however always remember her at this time of year.
Over the years, my family has come up our favorite foods we like to prepare. My boys have never liked the relish tray, so I only get the olives and sometimes the sweet pickle jerkins. One year I tried making sweet potatoes with fresh potatoes instead of the canned. Well, canned yams are NOT allowed to enter our home. They LOVE moms fresh sweet potatoes. I have had friends request my sweet potatoes if we attend Thanksgiving somewhere else. I tried to make cranberry sauce from fresh cranberries one year. They weren't to crazy about those.
I am so lucky I have four boys that like to cook. They help make apple and pumpkins pies, they make great mashed potatoes (they add seasoning to flavor them up - YUM!), they help with the stuffing and have even made biscuits from scratch. As they become better cooks they suggest something new to be tried for dinner.
May you have time to reflect on the past and also enjoy the moment at the present.
My heart is filled full with the love of my family and the spirt of my lord. May your heart also be full and thankful for all you have.
Blessings and Happy Thanksgiving, Love Diane

Hello,
How are you today?? I had a wonderful time teaching my 6 x 6 Christmas photo album class last night. The kit is so wonderful. It is filled with this beautiful paper from My Minds Eye. The kit has so much in it you can make the album and have enough materials left to make some beautiful Christmas cards. Here are a few that I have made. Notice the brown border with the scallop edge. That piece is acutual the border where you find the brand name of the paper. I cut off the name and used the remaining pieces to create a beautiful border. How useful and cool is that. The first card you see has items not in the kit. They are buttons I had. I believe they are Jesse James buttons. The snowflake is a seasonal item I found at Michaels as well as the buttons. The Jesse James buttons come in a huge, amazing array of fun shapes. They are super for adding embellishments to your cards, scrapbook pages and other craft projects. the last card I used my Stampin' Up! scallop circle punch and the SU SAB So Many Scallops stamp set. Stampin" Up! has a variety of stamp sets and punches that match. There is a new one coming out for Valentines. Mine is in the mail coming to me. I just clicked on the images to check they out. WOW! They pop up super sized. I used a different editing program and reduced the size but guess I need to reduce more the next time. They do give you a clear close up view of the cards. Enjoy the cards. Please feel free to leave comments.

Spooky Halloween Treat Boxes & Baskets
Hello,
I LOVE making boxes. Halloween is a great time of year for me to make lot's of fun treat boxes.
With the new Sizzix dies for the Big Shot that Stampin' Up! is now selling I had way too much fun making these adorable boxes and bags.
The SU exclusive pennant die was used for several projects. Thinking outside the box gives you the creative ability to take something used for a planned idea and change it up into something else. The SU envelope die was used to make a box also. The SU Basket & Blooms die is awesome. It has everything to make the cute bag along with the tag, trim and flowers. A complete project in one die.
Some of the projects were made using the SU designer paper. I love the double sided patterns and the great quality.
You can make some of these great projects on October 21st at my Halloween Treat Containers class. See calendar for details. Please feel free to leave comments.
Enjoy the projects!

Fun CD Photo Album - Class
Hello,
I finally have a new project for a class. You will LOVE this CD Photo Album. I used a cardboard CD holder that you use for gifing a CD to someone, and turned it into a Photo Album. How cute is this. It is really easy to make. It has a cute envelope pocket for putting in a small photo, tickets from an event, a note filled with a message. There is also a large pocket you can add a photo to the front and back and fill with more photos. Come to class and make one for yourself, a friend, cousin, a teenage child, niece or grandaughter. It would be a great back to school present for a teenager to put pictures of her favorite friends. It would be great for an adult to put pictures of a special event shared with your friends. This would also make a very nice Christmas or Birthday gift. You will have some items left to make another project or some cards.

Fun CD Holder Photo Album
Hello,
These are so fun to make. I used two CD holders to make a small photo album.
The papers are from Pinecone Press. They are their brand new Halloween designs. I choose some of the colors to make it look more like a Guy or Fall book for the second book you see here.
I used a Sizzix die to make my tags and envelopes.
I wll be planning a class for this in the future. Watch the calender for date.
Let me know what you think.
Blessings, Diane

Paper Tole Art Cards
Hello,
What is Paper Tole Art you ask? An art form for over 200 years, Paper Tole is highly prized for its total uniqueness. Paper Tole is a crafting idea of making soothing and spectacular three-dimensional images. Paper Tole is a craft where several prints of the same picture are gathered and its major components are painstakingly cut by hand using exacto knives and artful skill. Artisans know of the costly expense and consumption of time required to master an image. They must have knowledge of cutting as well as what to cut, what to keep, what to throw away and how to glue, block, shape, and form. If you do a search for Paper Tole you can find some magnificent art work.
Not to diminish the true quality art form, I have a made a much simplified version. I absolutely love these cards. They may require a little time to cut the layers, but the beauty of the finished card is so worth the time.
I will be having two classes for these cards. July 10th at Diane's Place and July 21st at Pinecone Press. Check the calendar for time, cost and supply list. There will be a total of 3 projects. I hope you can come. Don't feel intimidated. I will make the process easy for you. Please feel free to leave your comments.
Blessings, Diane
