A Sneak Peek

Hellllllooooooooooooooo there!  How have you all been?  Super?  Super duper?  I hope so!  I have been running around like a wild person, woooooo! Between sewing a gazillion baby items for my daughter and my etsy shop (AlaPamala we have boatloads more to upload, it will be soon, PROMISE) , and tending to my seedlings, work, and my class, I finally had a little scrappy time ~ YAHOOO!!!  It was sooooooooooo enjoyable to play with scissors, paper, and glue and other scrappy goodness!  I can't show you my project yet, because I have a guest artist blog spot on a manufacturer's blog coming up.  But I can show you a sneak peek ~


I can also tell you that it is a sparklie item, in case you can't tell from the sneak peek. :)  I also have two more projects in the works, but no sneaks to show you yet.  Stay tuned though, they will be coming in the next few weeks.  The project above will have a free and full tutorial posted when it is ready.  I will hook you up with the link, so you can create away if you wish.  OK, I better scoot now, I have to get to work.  It is going to be a busy week!  I hope you have a great week, full of joy and time to create or just enjoy spring.  Take care! 
Happy crafting ~ Pam

I am ready to scrapbook!

Hello there! So sorry for my tardiness. I have been sewing like a wildwoman, and catching up on all sorts of things here. Now I am ready to scrapbook! I have a guest artist spot coming up before long, I will share deets soon. I have been playing with some fun product though, and realllllllly enjoying it. In the meantime, I will share some pics of things I have made in the last month. You will notice they are all fabric related.  :)

How did I come up with Pam's Eclectic Stuff?

Pam- that is me. :)

eclectic --adj.- selecting what seems best of various styles or ideas
*Since I like a huge variety of arts and mediums, this seemed perfect, we will talk about the best of various styles or ideas.

stuff- The noun stuff has 7 senses -
1. material, stuff -- (the tangible substance that goes into the makeup of a physical object; "wheat is the stuff they use to make bread")2. whatchamacallit, stuff, whatsis, sundry, sundries -- (miscellaneous unspecified artifacts; "the trunk was full of stuff")3. stuff, clobber -- (informal terms for personal possessions; "did you take all your clobber?")4. stuff, stuff and nonsense, hooey, poppycock -- (senseless talk; "don't give me that stuff")5. stuff -- (unspecified qualities required to do or be something; "the stuff of heros"; "you don't have the stuff to be a United States Marine")6. stuff -- (information in some unspecified form; "it was stuff I had heard before"; "there's good stuff in that book")7. stuff -- (a critically important or characteristic component; "suspense is the very stuff of narrative")

*What more needs to be said? I really thought about using Pam's Eclectic Sundries, but I thought that might be tough to remember. :) Stuff is easy and conveys a variety of meanings. I like the definition- miscellaneous unspecified artifacts. I also liked whatchamacallit, but that is a lot of typing. :)

So there you have it!
