Hi! My name is Lori Anderson and I am the owner, designer, and crafts person of Anderson's Treasures. Anderson's Treasures is a small business selling handmade jewelry, handmade cards, handmade scrapbooks and baby books, bookmarks, magnets, 3D decorations, lighted glass blocks, party, wall, and seasonal decorations...and so on...everything is handmade. I have a shop on Facebook (you will find a link to my shop above) and I also sell locally. I have been crafting for years and really enjoy working with my hands. Designing and crafting jewelry, cards, scrapbooks, etc., is a great creative outlet for me. I have great passion for what I do. The pieces have to speak to me. They have to make sense and evoke emotion. I do become attached to my pieces. I love my pieces. I would never craft an item that I would not wear, use, give, or send myself. Please fill free to take a look around my blog, visit my gallery links for pictures of all my creations, comment, "like", "follow", "share" my posts, drop by my store and perhaps purchase something if you like, and please...tell your frineds!!! ;) If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to either leave a comment, or message me at andersonstreasures@yahoo.com

The Lessons We Learn...

Well, somehow...I let my Eclips blade get dull...not sure how that happened! :) LOL 
Actually, I've had my machine for almost a year now...I believe I received it around the first of August last year...and I believe this is the first time I had to buy new blades. My machine came with two blades...and as much as I use my beloved Eclips...that's awesome that all I've used is 2 blades! :) I wasn't too worried about purchasing new blades because I knew my Cricut blades would work in my Eclips...little did I know all my extra Cricut blades were dull as well...now why did I keep those?!?!? I will try not to dwell on that...but learn to keep better stock in my blades...I've been "grounded" for almost a week now...not able to use my machine until I could get more blades shipped to me! Next time I'm at the scrapbook store, I'm going to buy another package...they come in packages of 2...and going forward...next time I open a new package...I'll order a new one...that way I'll never be without again!!! :) We live...we learn! :) Lesson learned! :)

Now...that's my story for the day. I have updated my Paper Crafts Gallery with some new cards...Graduation and an Anniversary one...click here to view them! :)

Have a great night! :)
