*{Timeless Twine Thursday?}*

This is new for me, usually I am bringing you Timeless Twine posts on Tuesdays..my eye may be twitching as I type this. I am so used to bringing you Timeless Twine on Tuesdays that this seems weird and foreign to me. I will prevail through the post though, with sunshine and smiles.

The neat thing about this post is that you will notice that each day, there's something new for you on the blog...switching things up a bit always brings a freshness, an enthusiasm, a mojo if you will.

I created a layout for this post highlighting how a some simple stitches can make a lot of impact. Sometimes, less is in fact more. 
Mackenzie...where do I begin? She is amazing, despite at times, being slightly scary and terribly aloof. Nor is she afraid to let you know just how awesome she is. As you can see...she is better than you, it is now documented forever, for everyone to take note. ❤

I wanted to post a close up for you as well.

Keep checking the Timeless Twine blog daily for some awesome inspiration from all of the Twine-ista's. They have great stuff coming up this month...so stay tuned!

*{Finding Joy}*

"It's that time of year...where the world falls in love,
Every song you hear seems to say,
Merry Christmas
May your New Year dreams come true...."

Mr. Sinatra this may be true for some of us...but others are trying to run in the other direction. I am one of those gooey eyed dreamers who is already seeing snowflake bokeh everywhere. I like to think that it's contagious and I can bring you to the dark side...but I know this simply isn't true. 

However, don't focus on all of those lists, obligations, "to-do's", etc. Don't let them creep in and bring you down, instead look for the kind smiles, listen for the giggles of the little ones, the magic around every corner...if you're looking of course. Your time and smiles are more of a gift than anything else. People get so caught up in making this "the perfect time"...but you have to remember that perfection comes in times of imperfection..and sometimes mistakes, like the ruined cookie batter that becomes rolled cookie balls that you keep in the refrigerator...make perfection out of the imperfection and enjoy this year! That's my challenge to you this holiday season. 


I used Strawberry Cupcake for this card. It was the perfect punch of color! 


Remember CHOOSE JOY and have a great Tuesday!

*{Some Fourth for the 4th}*

I didn't realize the irony of my post today until I looked at the card I created and the date of this post. I am certain you can guess the subject matter of my card at this point. I was getting a jumpstart on the summer holiday, in my mind this sounds good! I also love working with red and blue..so that would have something to do with it as well, I'm sure. 

All month long, Timeless Twine is celebrating alongside The Robin's Nest. The Robin's Nest was super generous and sent products for each of us Twine-ista's to work with. I received some Fleur Cardstock and some Boarding School papers to work with. 

It inspired me to create this card. I used Timeless Twine's fantastic selection of twine (Aqua Blue, Cherry Red and Natural) alongside the Robin's Nest great papers!



Here's a few close ups of the twiney goodness and Robin's Nest details. 




Make sure you keep checking all month long for great inspiration from The Twine-ista's and The Robin's Nest! The Robin's Nest Design Team is working with Timeless Twine all month long putting their own spin on great designs!






❤ Have a great Tuesday!!

A Green Card

Top of the morning to you all and Happy St. Patty's Day. Mandi here with a green card for this green holiday.
 This card was fun and fast to make since I just gathered some green supplies and two perfect spools of twine. Natural and Olive Green.
 Since this twine is a good thickness it is super easy to stitch with. Also it is easy to thread in an embroidery needle.
If you created a Timeless Twine filled project post it on our Facebook page so we can see. 
Thanks for stopping by. Have a fun and safe holiday.
