We are almost into the new year and I love a fresh new planner! Anyone else enjoy starting fresh in the new year? With the new year, I rethink my planning and memory keeping goals. I begin with the end result in mind, the intended audience and the products that I...

Hello everyone! We have another newer member to get to know this month. Stephanie Gates, or Effie as she also goes by. I have been admiring her work in the gallery over the past several months and reached out to her to see if she would be willing to tell us a bit...
Do you scrap more in the winter months than in the summer? I don’t. I am much more motivated by sunshine. You would think it would be the reverse but I need more light to feel creative. Here in Missoula Montana it is pretty dark and grey most days in the...
For the past several years I have held a Christmas ATC swap here at Cocoa Daisy. It has always been something I really look forward to. This is such a busy time of year for most people but I think taking time out to create and share with friends is worth it. We have...
There is so much going on in the world right now. The headlines are filled with sadness, confusion and fear. I am reminded that I am so fortunate. My family is safe, comfortable and has more than we need. There are so many around the world that don’t...
Hello everyone! This month I bring to you Shannon Yates. Sadly I do not have a photo of Shannon to share with you. She was gracious enough to share her answers to my nosy questions and then we had a glitch in our emails I think. But I have so many of her lovely...
Hello everyone. I know the weather is changing most places and we are all getting excited for fall. I am so excited about the reveal coming up soon. The new kit is a beauty! Until then, lets enjoy some eye candy from the gallery. Look at this amazing design by...
Hope everyone is enjoying their August. I was a complete dork last month and missed my scheduled post. So this month I will have some layouts from the whole summer. First up I would like to introduce you to Julie Bonomo. Julie is an active member of our message...
Hello everyone. Enjoying the delicious change of season? There is lots of lovely work in the gallery again this month but first up I want to introduce you to someone who most of you already know. Terry is a staple on the boards here at Cocoa Daisy and her clean,...
Good morning everyone!! I have been so inspired to create the past month. This last kit was really whimsical and quirky and it fit me so well. I really enjoyed scrapping and even spent several nights staying up late to create. That is not normal for me! I think I...
Good morning ladies. Hopefully the sun is shining on you wether you still have snow or not! I do see some early signs of Spring around Missoula. Some crocus are peeking through and the grass on the hills is turning a bit greener. I am ready! This month I want to...
Most of the country has been buried under snow and cold and I think it might show in the gallery. With all the unexpected days off, the gallery is filled with lots and lots of scrappy goodness. It was hard to only pick a few. This one by clickinincali is so pretty....
New Year and new faces here at Cocoa Daisy. It’s been really nice getting to know some of the newer people on the message boards. We have Christy S from the Bahamas. Marie3, and KimberleyMarie (Kim) from Ontario. If you are also new to Cocoa Daisy, please...
Hope everyone is enjoying this special holiday season. It is such a magical time of year if we can just stop and slow down and notice the little things. Let’s take a moment to notice a new member at Cocoa Daisy. Bonita Rose. Here are her own words:...
Happy Days! It’s Thanksgiving soon here in the United States and it’s really such a great family holiday. Maybe it’s a bit weird to. We gorge on turkey and pumpkin pie and then lay around and watch football?! Not every family does this but mine...
It’s a cold and rainy night here in Missoula Montana. I am missing summer. Really I am missing flip flops and sunshine. I know we are all supposed to love Fall. Pumpkin Spice Lattes, scented candles and leg warmers are not my thing. I am a beach babe stuck...
Happy Fall everyone! Except you down under gals and then it’s Happy Summer. I envy you. I love summer. This time of year is lovely though and the beginning of the holiday season so it is exciting! This month I am highlighting someone who I have know for...
Can you believe it’s almost September? This summer has gone by so fast. Makes me a little sad actually. One of the things that is good about the cooler weather though is that I feel less inclined to be outside swimming, biking, hiking, etc. Inside time...
Another month and another Daisy ready to be highlighted. This month I would like to introduce Marianne Barone/scrapnatya. “I started scrapbooking in October of 1998 when I was 8 months pregnant with my second daughter. I saw a presentation by Lisa Bearnson on...
