Where’s Shirley Door Hanger Global SU VLOG Hop

Look at this fun door hanger! It announces where I am in the yard while visiting my parents. The story goes that Mom and I planned the next morning activities, the night before. I would be weeding in the pumpkin patch until Mom came outside. Then we would start the watering chores. Yelp, 4 hours later with my water bottle empty and snacks gone, I went inside the house to see where Mom was. She was just finishing up baking some sweets and was waiting for me to wake up so we could do the watering chores. She thought I had slept through the kitchen noise…zzzzzz

Alas, no. I got a good portion of the weeding done which will help the pumpkins and sunflowers drink all the available water for their own growth. Good thing because rain has been scarce.

This door hanger rests on the bedroom door. So I had the idea to make tags to indicate where I am in the yard so my parents can find me.

Watch my Youtube video going through each tag assembly and what activity the tags indicate. These would also make perfect card candy which is just a focal point on a card front. The video is part of a VLOG Hop featuring home decor items. Make sure to hop to each video by clicking the link in the video description.

Thanks for stamping with me today!

Monday is the slowest night in the blogosphere…

So I thought I would post about my bees. That’s honey bees living in the great up north (semi) wilderness. I visit with them every few weeks and take lots of video footage. Back in my stamp space, I take the evenings to edit footage and post the videos to my BeeLog Youtube channel. (I work the stamp business during the week days and take the weekends off).

This is a sight and smell I’ll always enjoy…fresh comb building and a heavy, sweet scent of a thriving hive. The hive noise is something to enjoy too, a slow and steady hum of activity.

The trip this time was to move this swarm into a hive box.

Of course, I have video of the transfer in my Swarm Trap Youtube playlist.

Also checked up on the frog watering bowl.

The Om Bee One hive had thousands of bees at work during the latest inspection. See frames of capped honey in this video. Before the honey arrives on a dinner table in a mason jar, the frames will need to be removed the hive, cells uncapped and the entire frame then spun in a centrifuge. Lots of work ahead for me and the bees! The bees need to reduce the water content on the uncapped cells before they deem the liquid is honey and cap the cell. I need to rustle up the honey extraction equipment:)

Here is a look at a fraction of the worker bees chilling in the empty spot of the Om Bee One hive.

My Mom and I are having fun making signs which the bees blissfully ignore…

Hope you enjoy coming along with me on my bee keeping journey! Share this post and my Beelog Youtube channel with your friends!

Hand Penned is the July Suite of the Month

Suite of the Month is a unique program where you are rewarded for purchasing the designated suites from me. Yippee! You earn a free make and take kit when you purchase the designated suites with Youtube links provided for kit assembly. Which means you can assemble the kits when it works into your schedule. I’ll also include a Zoom social so we can chat about all things Stampin’ Up! or bees or bread making or whatever else we can find interesting to discuss:)

In addition, I am collaborating with other demonstrators across the globe that will be sharing 2 projects each using the same product suite. So you will get a bundle of ideas to use with the rest of your product suite by watching these videos. The video links and project photos will arrive in your email box as a pdf file. Super Sweet!

Please order early in the month if you want to participate in the Zoom socials since the socials will be held later in the month. When I see an order come through with the designated Suite of the Month, I’ll ship your make and take kit to you automatically for that month. Please Note: If you purchase the designated suite after the month has past for that suite, I will only be able to share the video links and not the make and take kits.

You are welcome to order any and all of the suites on the same order so you can earn and spend all the host rewards. If your order stays under $150 (excluding shipping and tax), please use the host code on the right side of my blog when ordering. If your order is over $150, don’t use a host code so you can redeem all the host rewards yourself.
