Long time No Blog


Boy, keeping up with Blogging is tough! Last week I travelled all week with work. This week I was supposed to travel, but chickened out this morning with the proposed crazy weather. I was hoping to wake up and see snow and ice everywhere so that I can start stocking up on my newest product... Traveling Chalkboards! I JUST completed my mini CAR board. The lighting in my house isn't the best, so I need to wait until about 5/ 5:30 to take photos and sometimes I don't get home until about 6! Below is the material that the Traveling Chalkboard is made out of!

I am preparing for my new item of the week!
Memory Boxes! These boxes can hold items of sentimental value such as wine bottle corks, napkins, movie ticket stubs, matches, any items that you are collecting in order to eventually create a scrapbook!


This wooden box can store all of your wedding memories, from the wine cork you drank on your engagement night, to matches from your wedding day, this box can hold ALL of your memories. The wooden box is painted and features wedding theamed paper inside and outside of the cover and the base of the box which is also lined in ribbon. The box measures 7"x7"x3", so it can also hold all of your photos! There is room on the top to add your new married name or you and your husband's names.




The Large Memory Boxes are only $15.00!

This box is 3.5" x 3.5" x 3". You can place your baby boy's first tooth, first curl, his hospital bracelets and more in the box!


Small Memory Boxes are only $10.00.

MORE TO COME!!!

Special orders are also taken by Canale Creations!

Superbowl and Scrapbooks

So my entire Sunday was in anticipation for the Superbowl. I brought ALL of my scrapbook items down from my craft room aka "The Pink Room" to complete me and my husband's honeymoon scrapbook!

Me and my hubby!

Boy I've been working on this thing for about 6 months now (we've been married for 8 months). We went to Jamaica, so I bought a hand crafted book when we went on our shopping tour!

The view from our villa balcony! Sandal's Ocho Rios! SO pretty!

I bargined from 35 bucks to 20 bucks. It was probably still over priced, but I LOVED IT! The size is 11x13, so of course my 12x12 paper doesn't fit perfectly, so the majority of the effort was cutting the background paper and glueing it to the book. So I pretty much completed it with the exception for the LAST 3 pages!



View from the Beach side of the Resort.

I only really worked on it BEFORE the game and after the Colts starting smashing the Bears to the point of no return! Thing was I really wanted BOTH teams to win! I really like Saying "Da Bears", but I really like the Colts Coach and Peyton Manning is really cool in his commercials. Although, I guess if I would have paid more attention during the regular season, I would have realized that some players on my Fantasy Football team like, Rex Grossman and Robbie Gould were on the Bears... no no idea! Ah well... I can't wait for Next Year's Fantasy Football team.



So wait! What about Fergie? I must have missed her! I enjoyed the Cirque Ole thing as pre-game show and I WAS not impressed with Prince at half time... but I kept looking for Fergie.. then I see THIS on yahoo's homepage...



somehow Fergie was at a Superbowl party, but obviously I wasn't invited!! LOL! Hmm boo....
