Mimi's Magnolias Awesome, Pinterest worthy craftiness made by a mother and her daughters team! We are Mimi's Magnoli We live to CRAFT!

My sister and I, (I’m Tracey the writer) were raised in a household that was full of fabric, flowers and hot glue and so it was inevitable we would be crafters and artists. Our Mom is a Master Crafter and has taught us well. My sister, Teresa, is an incredible photographer and I’m a crafter in training. Mimi, our mom, and her four granddaughters and two grandsons are her magnolias, along with othe

r crafty family members and friends. We will share the crafty things we love, products and projects, our family, our culture and foodways and invite you to enjoy and be a magnolia too!

This 6-1/4 x 8 inch was created for a friend of the family in celebration of her wedding. This book was made from a pre-made album that was transformed into thirty-eight decorated pages and can hold over 100 photos. I have incorporated many regular and corner pockets, photo holders, and booklets. The pockets and holders allowed for the placement of two or three 4x6 photos in each without using glue. Some of the images shown include placement of actual photos for examples only.

I think I am ready to make another one like this layout. I would create my own hard cover album in little larger size. Maybe, lol

John’s Gumbo Filé Notification List – CLOSED

Due to the overwhelming number of orders, the Notification List for the October Gumbo Filé purchase is now CLOSED. We believe that the anticipated supply from this next batch will not support any ADDITIONAL orders. We will keep everyone informed regarding any extras after the current requests are filled. As originally stated, all order requests will be processed on a first come, first serve basis. John’s process to provide the highest quality Gumbo Filé is very labor intensive and time consuming. He is making every effort to make sure that we can meet all the current requests. Thanks so much for your patience and understanding. Janet Ravare Colson - [email protected]

First of all would like to thank everyone for the the interest and great comments on the recent news film about John Oswald's Gumbo Filé. He really appreciates the comments re his continuing this Creole Tradition and the many requests to purchase. At this time, unfortunately, his current supply has been SOLD.

He is gearing up to start gathering and processing his second batch. This should be available by October, the beginning of the "Gumbo Making Season". He will be selling whatever he can process at that time on a first come, first serve basis. Cost: $7 for 4 oz jar and $3 for 1 oz jar. plus S/H. We accept Paypal, money orders and personal checks.

Please email me at [email protected] if you would like to be notified when the Gumbo Filé is ready for purchase.

Again, thanks so much for the support and interest!

This is my current passion, creating Family Legacy Photo/Memory albums. I developed this album with the thought in mind that it will hold photos, letters, genealogy information and other family memory documents. It contains numerous pockets and tuck spots, photo booklets & tags, waterfall pages (a place for many photos on one page), pouch pocket for notes and/or photos, decorative family genealogy chart and six (6) blank Family Group Sheets to document family connections. Some of the images shown include placement of actual photos for examples only. I use removable glue dots to place photos anywhere in book. This allows for good adhesion without disturbing photo or page when removing photo.

This book is slated for giveaway as part of a Birthday Donation Challenge for the American Cancer Society. It is valued at over $75.
