What is this?

MUMSIE'S COTTAGE is a dream I have had for some time, a small business owned by me, Lilly Collins Riera, in my home that is known as Mummies' cottage. Here I will offer, preteen/teen birthday parties where the birthday girl/boy can choose from a list of scrapbook projects such as journal, compositions, clipboard designing, frame. Then a date will be picked and they and their friends will be treated to a birthday project in my cottage. I will also be hosting classes for children with different topics such as scrap lessons, etiquette classes, basic cooking/baking. Journaling. So, if you are already hearing, "I am bored" If you are concerned about how technology is taking over the lives of our youth, sign them up for one of my classes, where no texting will be done.

Christmas box time!

Last year, my Christmas boxes were a hit!
I had enough sales to pay for a cruise, yay me!
Yet the money is nothing compared to the joy 
I saw on so many faces when delivering my art.
So put in your orders as the Christmas countdown boxes
take some time and have to start on December 1! 
Had so many last year, that was finishing up my last ones
on November 28th!
This year I have had to go up by 5 dollars as prices have increased.





Each box is personalized.
Each count down drawer is 3 inches by 3 inches.
The entire box is approximately 12 inches by 12 inches.
Put orders in early! 
I also scrap dish washing liquid bottles, coffee creamer holders,
you name it, I probably can scrap it!

Keep me with no free time!

REDO OF THE COTTAGE

I have not yet put new pictures of the cottage on here
because there is still some work to be done. but 
I have to say, I am so very impressed with 
BRADLY MIXON
and the work he has done so far on my cottage!
Unfortunately, he is having to take a little
time off due to a family emergency,
but my home is painted a beautiful gray,
my awnings are back up, white with black stripes 
my back screened porch is rescrubbed
and today I am going to try and tackle my own 
flooring on that porch!
Thanks to Kd's uncle Dana
who has given my flooring he can't use from
his business, Carpet Warehouse.
I am loving my new Abode, daily,
Once my gutters are up, it will also frame up 
the cottage with white, 
thinking I am also going to paint the black brought
iron front screen door red also as you can't
see the red door behind it....
Thanks for following as I make the  cottage
all my own.... so in love,
and at peace here!

Do you have a preference you would like me
to make for you?

SHORT DELAY

Sorry for the delay in posting classes,
the cottage has been under major outside
renovation and the rain, weather has not
been cooperating. It is just not very safe
to have students coming here right now.
However, I am still taking orders for:
CHRISTMAS BOXES

It's a countdown to Christmas advent box.
It is 13 inches by 13 inches with each little treat
box, to be filled by you, 3 inches.
These sell for 35$ each.
Wall letters, treasure boxes...
Picture frames...





Invites, wedding programs, name it and I can scrap it for ya!
