Follow up on Peep Killing
It has now been discovered that some are using facially challenged Peeps to donate to the Killers. Just because a Peep's eyes are in his ears and his nose is on his forehead, is he any less a Peep than those with perfectly aligned eyes and nose? If both eyes are on the left side, does this make hte bunny any less valuable? I think not. Special Needs Peeps being used as baking goods. And, now, incriminating a STORE along with the Killers. When will the cruelty end??? "Where is the justice?" I ask you.

Peep Killers Anonymous---EXPOSED!!!
Peep Killers Exposed!!!
Recent reports indicate that there is a new breed of killer on the loose. They refer to themselves as "crafters," "stampers," or maybe even "cooks," but the truth is they are on a mission: a Mission to Kill Peeps. They started as an innocent looking group of women with the supposed task of creating gifts for others. As you can see, they fill a jar with graham cracker crumbs (without revealing the violence used to create said crumbs), place bunnies ever so gently around the edges, add a touch of sugar and even pretty pastel M&M's. To add to the deception, once the jar is full of bait, they add a pretty ribbon and maybe a "handcrafted" label. Sounds so homey and gentle, doesn't it? The truth is they are CAPTURING the PEEPS and putting them into quarters so tight their very noses are pressed to the glass and air is difficult to find.
It's what happens next, in the private homes of these Peep Killers, that will make your stomach churn. In addition to handing these "GIFTS" to others, with the motive of enticing others to KILL THE PEEPS, some of these "CRAFTERS," a term we use loosely for these murderers, will actually SELL THEIR PEEP JARS for PROFIT! This is a highly offensive crime known as Peepstitution.
When the Peep Killers, or PKs as we in the media call them, open their jars, things get ugly. Warning: the following pictures may be inappropriate for lovers of Peeps to view.
First, they hang the Peeps upside down and taunt them with murder weapons. Somewhere, in a land far away, the Peeps maker is chanting, "Let my Peeple go!"
Without a care in the world for the feeling of the peeps, the entire jar is dumped thougtlessly into a bowl. As you can see, the Peeps are covered in dirt (what the PKs refer to as crumbs). Can you feel the terror for them? The look on their faces says it all.
Next, the torture begins. First, they are snipped into little pieces, leaving an eye here, a foot there. It is nothing short of a Picasso painting in the making.
Following this BOILING hot GREASE is poured onto the poor pitiful partitioned Peeps. PKs call this "adding melted butter" but we know what it really is.
As if to compound the pain, a dose of alcohol, under the pseudonym "vanilla" is poured on their wounds.
The PKs then slowly mix all of these parts together. They TELL the Peeps it is a carnival ride. Now, how they get the broken up Peeps to believe such tales is a mystery to us all. But wait, there's more. The lies continue as the peeps are sold a bill explaining that they are now entering a TANNING SALON! Like the proverbial frog in the kettle with the water slowly heating and killing the frog by comfortability*, the warmth draws the Peeps into the oven until they are burning hot and there is no relief in sight.
When they come out of the oven, they are BOILING mad.
The PKs will tell you the Peeps are just full of hot air at this point.
As the Peep mixture cools down, the PKs have perhaps their most heinous crime of all remaining. They cut the now melted and disintegrated Peeps into pieces and EAT THEM!!!
They have even been known to feed them to innocent children. Where is the Peep Defense League when you need them? What kind of SICK mind would feed HOSTAGES to CHILDREN?
If you have any knowledge of the whereabouts of members of the Peep Killers group, you are asked to immediately contact this number: 1-555-LUV-PEEP. The leader of this group is known to many as Peepella De Ville, but she also goes by the alias "Beth Hartley". The only picture we were able to find of her is from an old "Wanted" poster. As you can tell from the wear in this picture, she has been in this business for many years. We believe the buildings in the background are where she stores both Peep Supplies and WMPD (Weapons of Mass Peep Destruction). There is a reward of a years worth of M&M's for all information leading to the arrest of Peep Killers.
*Note, we are still looking for information about anyone involved in the boiling of frogs.
**Actual Peeps were harmed in the making of this blog post.

Donny Osmond's Socks
If you are old enough, you know what word comes to mind when you hear "Donny Osmond's Socks." If you are too young, you are now asking, "Who is Donny Osmond and do I WANT to know about his socks?" Or you may be wondering, "Is he related to that girl who passed out during Dancing with the Stars?" Why yes, yes he is.
Donny Osmond in his teenage years was a heartthrob for some young girls. He wore PURPLE socks. Why? I have no idea. But all girls between age 8 and 18 knew that Donny Osmond wore purple socks.
That is what came to mind when I saw the Guest Designer Challenge for Clear Dollar Stamps last week. The theme was purple. When I pulled out all my purple papers I could not help but think, "Wow, flash back to the 70's & Donny Osmond's socks!"I submitted 3 different items. Didn't win the contest, but I had fun making these! I'll just put the pictures today & when I have a chance will do another post with the dorky stories to go along with these items.
Unlike these cards, which probably will look pretty worn out in 30 plus years, look how well this now GRANDFATHER has aged:
Feeling a need to break into, "Puppy Love" or "I'm a little bit Rock & Roll?"

Easter!
New info added! See notes in BIG GREEN LETTERS!
I love Easter and the celebration of our Lord's resurrection! I love spring, too, with all the new life abounding, and the beautiful colors with which God has painted this earth. These pictures show you a bit of both spring and Easter. Below the cards are several gift ideas. The jar is full of a mix for "Peeps S'mores". Aren't those bunnies the cutest? A box full of nuggets with sweet Easter greetings are in the clear box with the pretty ribbons. Next are baskets with treats. The first basket has Peppermint Patties decorated with Easter or Spring designs. It is about 2" square. The other baskets are 3" or 2" square. They hold chocolate nuggets dressed in their best Bunnyware! I love the little tail on the back!
These are the items I am selling this year. I can vary these to meet your needs. If you prefer all Bunnies & eggs, or if you prefer only Crosses & Resurrection on the nuggets, I can create those for you.
The cards are blank inside, but a sentiment can be stamped on if you'd like!

Stamping TV shows!!!
I was so excited a couple of weeks ago when I heard about STAMP TV! This is a new online site where you can watch tutorials for stamping and paper projects. Gina K. Designs has created this really cool site which includes user groups & galleries. The website is http://stamptv.ning.com/ I was so thrilled about this because I tend to be a visual learner.
Well, today I found out there has been ANOTHER online video site for scrapbooks and crafting for a couple of years! It's at http://www.crafttvweekly.com/main.php It looks like the site with the video links is down for maintenance, but I found you can check out videos if you go to http://tvweekly.com/
Now, some things I've created that aren't on any TV shows. 3 birthday cards for some of my friends.
More in the works! Stay tuned! Don't change that channel!

Little Miss Bunny
I made this card for the Clear Dollar Stamps Guest Designer Challenge at http://clearlyistamp.typepad.com/my_weblog/cds-guest-designer-challenge/ . The theme is "pearls". I used the bunny from Spring Critters and the flowers from Thankful for you.
I thought Miss Bunny would like to wear some pink pearls, so she has a pink pearl necklace and earrings made from some 3-d paint. The images are stamped on Shimmering White paper, so the background has a pearly look to it. The images were stamped with Brilliance Black and then embossed. I used SU markers to color, but went over the bunny with some Lumiere for a more pearly look. Then I mixed Lumiere and Pearl-ex red/blue duo to give the flowers a pearl finish. I added little pearls in the centers of the flowers. I also used pearls as an accent on the corners. The pink embellishments are metal dots. Not pearls, but I thought they were pretty! LOL!
The words are stamped with Brilliance pink and then embossed.
I did some machine sewing on some of the pieces.
I used pop dots on the main image, the bunny, and the words.
The background paper is from Paper Studio's "So Sweet" mat stack. What a fun challenge!
