About Me

July 2020- Covid has made this year so crazy! The kids started remote schooling mid March. We got two puppies in June: Sadie and Scarlett. They are Lab/ Shepherd mixes and are sisters. We love them to bits.

February 2020- I will be on vacation from Feb 17-22, so I may not respond to messages until I get home. Thanks for your understanding.

June 2019- I’ve been busy this year with my art! I finished up my Design Team stint with The Robin’s Nest, and now I’m enjoying being a tutor on Mixed Up Creative! I’ve also just begun as a guest designer for Visible Image Stamps.

12/29/17- It’s been a great crafting year for me! My YouTube channel is up and running- my channel name is MotleyMixedMedia with Mary S. Come join the crafty fun! I’m on Shawn Petite’s Design Team, creating videos 1-2 x per month using her awesome stencils. I’m also going to be on Evaneys Stamp Designs Design Team starting in January 2018! I’ll be making cards with her cute stamps that will be on her blog.

9/12/16- I'm back! Finally got my new craft room functional and just signed up for a couple swaps! I am so glad to be crafting again!

2/14/2016- I'm taking a break from joining swaps for a few months because we are packing up to move into a new house! I may finally get a dedicated craft room instead of having to borrow my hubby's office. Yay! I'll still check in here and answer messages. I hope to be crafting with ya'll again soon! xoxo

7/10/2015- We had to put down Calle, our beloved shepard mix, today. :( In honor of her, please consider rescuing your next dog from a shelter.

5/11/15- We are back! It was a wonderful trip to Disney and Universal. :)

4/28/15*** Me and the fam are heading to Florida for a much needed vacation next week, so I won't be around for swaps until after May 12th!***

Flakers gonna Flake:

As much as I hate to start this list, I need to keep track of those that flake on me or my swap members.

Comment: Hi Mary- Mary and I love the periwinkle ink box card I just received from you. Your background is really great with the stamping and spatters and what looks like Nuvo drops. I don't have the TH butterfly die cut, but now I think maybe I need one as they are really nice and detailed. Thanks so much for a great swap and thanks for signing up!

Comment: Hi Mary! The pc is lovely and the stitching really pops on it! May I ask what kind of adhesive you use to make the pc? So far I have not had luck on getting anything to stick with the stitching - sigh! Thankfully I have had sleeves I could mail stuff in but I love that you could send yours sleeveless! All the best, Happy Stitching, and Swapping! ;)
Response: Glad you like it! My go to glue is Art Glitter Glue. And I like to use Ranger Glossy Accents when I need something super strong. 😊

Hi Mary! I received my transformed scribble, and I love it! I loved it so much that I showed it off to everyone, put it on the wall right away...and then forgot to leave you a note - I'm so sorry! I really like the watercolors and color scheme. What a transformation of a lowly little scribble into "You Are Beautiful!" I wish you and your loved ones peace and hope this holiday, best wishes, --RJ
