Well, I really never thought I'd see the day when I was scrapbooking on the computer! I've just been playing with My Digital Studio and I absolutely love it!Of course I jumped right in and started fiddling around and I haven't even read the instructions or help manual...but I am sooooo excited with this page I created and I can't believe how easy it was!! Maybe, just maybe I can finally get some

Happy Birthday Dick Clark!

Dick Clark turned 80 years old today. When I think of Dick Clark, lots of sounds and images come to mind. As I type this, "Bandstand Boogie" is playing on a continuous loop in my head... and that's a good thing because it's got a good beat and... well, you know the rest.Below is a clip of the "Oldest Living Teenager" encountering The Dynamic Duo:

All I Want for Christmas. . .

All in all- a great Black Friday! I made more money than I spent-- always a good thing. (BTW, I still have a sale going on in my Etsy store-- free shipping on everything and buy 1 get 1 half off all patterns.) But I did do some online window shopping and now I have my Christmas Wish List completed. I thought I would share it with you (you know, just in case any of my adoring fans out there

Road House Airs On TCM!

Cornel Wilde, Celeste Holm, Ida Lupino, and Richard WidmarkI know that some read the title of this post and thought the decline of Western civilation was impending, but no... not THAT Road House! Another film titled Road House (but unrelated to the Patrick Swayze ass-kicking opus) airs Wednesday, 11/25 at 8 pm EST. This Road House stars Ida Lupino, Richard Widmark, Cornel Wilde, and Celeste Holm.

V.I.Penis

While Rachel waits in line to get into the most talked about nightclub, she overhears two women talking about the owners huge dick. The problem is the only way to get close to his huge cock is by getting into the V.I.P section. Luckily for her the owner spots her sexy body and invites her to see his...

The Medic Special

Keiran accidentally slips on the floor at work and hurts his back. When his friend Matt walks in he tries helping him out but he is in to much pain so he calls the ambulance for him.When the paramedics arrive Rachel Starr makes sure he nurses Keiran back to health by giving him 'The Medic Special.'

Baby Ragged Squares

Another baby quilt finished. . . This is a baby sized version of my first Ragged Squares quilt from way-back-when. I had some extra blocks left over and I thought it would be perfect for a baby boy. Turned out pretty cute. . . Not too girly, I hope? And I tried something different on the binding for this one. I thought that everyone who made 'real' quilts hand-stitched the binding on the back.

Ribbon Tutorial

Here is the ribbon tutorial as promised!  Before we start the tutorial, this picture shows what the bottom of your box will look like...nice and flat!  Nothing makes me crazier than a pretty box that wobbles and won't sit properly!Step 1. Starting with your box facing up, place your ribbon across it, making sure you have a good length that is extra. That would be the cut end we're talking about

Final Results of the "What 80s Movie Should Malcolm Watch Next?" Poll

In the recent poll where I asked readers to select the 80s movie I should watch next, The Goonies were good enough to beat out the other four flicks included. Here are the final results:The Goonies- 37%Field of Dreams- 25%The Little Mermaid- 18%Blue Velvet- 12%A Nightmare On Elm Street- 9%Within the next week or so, I plan to watch The Goonies; I will post my review shortly thereafter.In case

Christmas Gift Box

This is the perfect little box for the perfect little gift! I used the Pizza Box template pattern that Jen del Muro shared on Splitcoaststampers.  It uses 1 piece of cardstock measuring 6" x 11". It is so cute and so easy to make and perfect for all kinds of gifties!For this little box, I used Kraft cardstock and stamped the snowflake with Whisper White beforeI did any assembly.As soon as I can

Icy Snowflakes

Isn't this a dainty, pretty card? And so easy to make! I used the SU wheel called Jolly, I really think this little wheel is overlooked! I layered it and added a couple of small pearls  and some punched snowflakes....love it!What I used: Cardstock:  Bashful Blue and Whisper WhiteStamp Set: SU Jolly Wheel, Best Yet (Hostess Retired)Accessories:  Small pearls, Snowflake punch, Crystal Stickles,

A Man Can Do Nothing Better

...than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work. ~Ecclesiasties 2:24People have asked me recently how it's going with the two girls. My response has been fairly consistent."I'm not having fun."Don't get me wrong: We're doing quite well. The girls seem to have adjusted marvelously. We've got a solid routine. They eat well. They sleep well (well, naps are different, but bedtime is fine).

Sisterly Love. . .

Not only do I have three girls of my own, but I am also one of three girls (have I mentioned that I love girls?). Both of my sisters came to visit about a week ago, along with my nephew. Fun times. . . And. . . lucky me! They actually wanted to sew while they were here! Can you believe it? I can't really. My youngest sister is Miss Athletic/Hiker/Trainer/Volleyballer/Whatever and I figured it

Scallop Envelope Gift Box

Well, I haven't been on my blog for ages...it's time to do a little catching up!This is such a pretty little box and so versatile! It could hold chocolate (always a good idea!) or in this sample, it holds 3" x 3" notecards and envelopes. I die cut 2 scallop envelopes, trimmed the bottom edges and attached them together using sticky strip.  I left one of the flaps up and the other I folded down

Flea Market Fancy

This is for all you quilters out there! Of course you recognize the name Denyse Schmidt and of course you know what Flea Market Fancy is. As sad as it sounds, I started quilting AFTER FMF was available, so I have very little-- and I want more! Apparently there are others. . . a whole LOT of others. If you are one of them, jump on over to Flea Market Fancy Freaks and sign a petition to get FMF

Rocket Scientist

Wahoo! Something finished AND photographed! Thanks for all the ideas on taking decent indoor pics. This little quilt is a variation on the Scatter Sunshine quilt-- just going with square angles instead of wonky ones. I really kind of like it. And I am really liking the lines for the quilting. . . and it is SOO much faster than stippling! The fabric is from Keri Beyer's Rocket Scientist line.

TCM To Air Interracial Romance Triple Feature

Dear Brown Paper Packages Readers,

As much as I love you all, this blog will be closed for the season due to the cold weather and the author's inability to take decent pictures inside.Sincerly,LeiselOkay, okay. . . I'm just kidding. I don't know how long I could actually survive without this blog. . . but this cold thing/picture thing is really getting to me. So if anyone has any grand ideas on how to take some decent indoor

Please Take A Moment To Vote In the "What 80s Movie Should Malcolm Watch Next?" Poll... Thank You

Because the recent poll where I asked readers to vote for the movie they thought I should watch next received such a positive response, I thought I'd do a sequel... with a twist. This time I've selected five movies from the 1980s that I'm interested in seeing, but haven't. The movie with the most votes is the one I will watch next. Once I watch it, I'll post a review.

Mr. King vs. The Beauty Queen

During a Wednesday appearance on Larry King Live, former Miss California USA Carrie Prejean objected to the line of questioning by the suspenders-wearing talk show host. According to her, King was being inappropriate. If you love awkward television as much as I do, I think you'll get a chuckle or two from the following clip (which features The Young Turks' take on the incident).

Fun with FOE

I have discovered a new toy. . . FOE!!! Or fold-over-elastic, in case you are like I was a couple months ago and had no idea what the heck FOE meant. It is this fabulous, pretty, shiny elastic that comes in every color of the rainbow-- and the best part? It has a crease down the middle of it that allows you to fold it over an edge of fabric and zigzag over the top of it. Here is a tutorial I

Steven Tyler Remaining with Aerosmith

It looks as if stories reporting Steven Tyler's departure from Aerosmith were premature. On Tuesday night, Tyler appeared onstage with The Joe Perry Project. In addition to announcing that he is not leaving Aerosmith, Tyler performed Walk This Way with The JPP. For more on the latest installment of As the Band Turns, please check out the following story:Steven Tyler Staying with Aerosmith

Remembrance Day

Today is Remebrance Day, it's a day for us to honour our soldiers and wear our poppies with great respect and pride.  It's a day that is very important to me and my family.  Each year we watch the planes flying over our house, in perfect formation. The empty space representing the missing soldier and his plane always makes me cry.I think of the soldiers that went to war so long ago, leaving their

Happy Hallowbirthmasgiving Day!

I owe some friends gifts for. . . oh, let's see. . . every holiday since last January! I decided to make the packaging from my stash, instead of spending ridiculous amounts of money on wrapping paper and bows, etc. I really like how they turned out-- and how fast and simple they were! Yay. And my first time making cards with fabric and paper-- wow! That was fun and a little addicting. Another

Vintage Postcard

Hi everyoneHere's another Christmas card to share with you. I just love this set and I love the vintage feeling of this little postcard. I distressed the edges with Stampin'Up's! Distressing Tool, ( I love this little gizmo!!) then I ripped, crumpled just a bit and sponged the layeres to give it a well worn look. This has to be one of my all time favourite techniques! Here's what I used:

Final Results of the Direct TV Ad Poll

Here are the final results of the poll in which I asked if the new Direct TV Ad with Chris Farley and David Spade is in poor taste:Yes- 41%I'm sitting on the fence- 32%No- 25%I wonder if the controversy will cause Direct TV to be reluctant to take the "dead celeb" route for future spots. Thanks to everyone who participated in the poll.Below is a clip of The Young Turks giving their take on the

A Fancy Fabric Fling. . .

I haven't ever really worked with fancy fabrics-- they scared me a little truthfully. But I found some in the clearance racks that I just couldn't live without. And it was so much fun! I used Pink Fig patterns, once again to make some fancy, frilly, girly outfits. One thing I did learn-- you need to check the washing instructions on the fabric bolt for all fabrics you are not familiar with! (

A little more Pink Fig. . .

Don't ask me why, but in the middle of October, I thought it would be fun to make this cute little outfit on top of everything else I had going. Can I just say that I LOVE Pink Fig patterns? They are so cute and pretty easy to make as well. This outfit is the Bella Pants and an altered version of the Mia Top.

Jack and the Jerk To Host the 82nd Academy Awards!

My disappointment over Hugh Jackman not returning has just subsided... it's been announced that Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin will be co-hosting the 82nd annual Academy Awards ceremony! Although Alec is a first-timer, this will be Steve's 3rd time presiding over the awards show (he hosted it previously in 2001 and 2003). Even if the nominees list turns out to be a snoozer, I'm confident that

CTFD: Teens Face Charges For Rapping At McDonald's Drive-Thru

Last week, four Utah teens were ordered to face charges of disorderly conduct after performing a rap from a popular You Tube video at McDonald's.
