I retired from my long time place of employment, Mattel (toys) - every girl's dream job to grow up and still get to play with Barbie! Even when I was little I was always making clothes for my dolls or furniture out of a box. My mother was a fabulously talented sewer and I inherited her love for fabric. In the past few years my interests have grown from fabric to paper and to dishes too! I just love prints, polkadots, plaids and paisleys- hence the blog name. Other things I love: my dog, chocolate, walking, ice cream - oh just make that walking my dog to get chocolate ice cream - that should cover it - oh no - golf - I took up golf and love it! We recently bought a fixer upper home on a small lake and have been working hard to make it into our home. I am a paper crafter and half my time is spent creating cards & favors, the other half is volunteering at my church in or my community. My blog is my creative outlet and I hope you enjoy it!

Welcome
Hi, I am Ann, a self proclaimed dish hoarder. I have a penchant for anything plaid, polka dot, or paisley. I love mixing patterns and colors. This has evolved into paper projects as well. I created this page as a way to share my inspiration and ideas with others! I find myself starting a new chapter in life at 65!! I am so grateful to the support of my children and my friends who have been by my side. I look forward to many more years of creative endeavors and hope to share more with you in the future! Thanks for stopping by :)

ReplyDeleteI found your site vis-a-vis Pinterest and it's great! I wanted to look more closely at the golf-themed table design but haven't been able to find it so far on your blog. Help, please. It's really very creative. MMR
ReplyDeleteThanks Margaret!!
ReplyDeleteI did the golf table for Father's Day in 2012. Go to my blog archive for 2012 and look under June and you should see the link to Father's Day Table that would take you to see the details! I hope this helps :)
Ann,
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I love your blog. How I remember playing with our Barbie dolls day after day. You always had the best Barbie clothes. I look forward to many more posts.
