Definition of STAMPIN' MOXIE:
Using your personal energy, ideas, likes and loves to express yourself through the medium of stamping and crafting.

What's YOUR Stampin' Moxie style?

I believe we all have our own moxie. We each have a tune with which we march throughout our lives. Our moxie can change, too, as we change and grow through personal experiences and by witnessing the changes around us.

Part of the beauty of our moxie is being able to share it with one another. I enjoy sharing my moxie through crafting and have found that I can share a little something of me through the various projects I create. My desire is to share something I enjoy with others and allow them the opportunity to bring their own moxie out through crafting. Is your stampin' moxie style defined? Is it "vintage"? Is it "whimsical"? Is it something in-between or all of the above? Find out YOUR Stampin' Moxie style! Then, share with others...

Well, while I'm here...

I figured I'd get another quick post in since I'm here at the computer and just finished the other post.

If you are a lover of chocolate - specifically DARK chocolate, then may I introduce you to THEO CHOCOLATE (http://www.theochocolate.com/)
If you haven't heard of them, then click on the link and be prepared to get some goodies! We found out about this place a while back (actually, while watching the Food Network's First Annual Awards show - cheesy, but hey, I found an awesome Chocolaterie out of it - so HAH!) I ordered some bars for Elliott for Father's Day and they were an experience in high quality, SUPER-dark chocolate. I bought both the Venezuela and the Ghana Origin bars. Let me just say - when you eat one of these bars, you realize that there is a whole world out there, different from the day to day candy bars and even so-called "dark" specialty bars - a world where "dark chocolate" really means UBER-DARK. The Venezuela bar is 91% (yes, that's not a typo - it's really 91%) cacao and the Ghana is 84% cacao. Since I was already nursing Joseph when we got these I only could try a tast of each - but WOW what a punch they each had! Elliott really enjoyed them and we want to try more. The other awesome thing about them is that they are ORGANIC and FAIR TRADE chocolates. Check 'em out!

A little of this...a little of that!

Yeah - AGES since a post - but I have done a few "craftsy" things here and there...

(a couple versions of the yearly Christmas Gift Exchange reminders - well, actually, this year was the first year I've made reminders - usually it's just a letter detailing the info!)

A little of this, a little of that...

Well, like I said in my LAST post (a ba-jillion years ago) I haven't been able to do too much with crafting as of late - but here are a few things:
