First Birthday!

Hello peeps!

It's a beautiful day today & I'm getting ready to get my hair done in a little while so I thought I would post & show you a card I made for Danielle's daughter Sydney's first birthday. Jessica asked me if I could make her a card for Sydney & of course I said yes & knew right away which stamp I wanted to use. I love how it turned out.

Well I only have 1 more gift to buy & I'm done shopping. Yippee!!! I need to get my butt in gear & get my tree & decorations up, I hope to do that this weekend & also wrap my gifts. OMG, I still need to make Christmas cards, I have not even made 1 yet....bad me!!! My cold really took a toll on me & I have not created anything since the week of Thanksgiving. My blog surfing has taken a back seat as well, I need to catch up with all of your blogs soon, so sorry. Well that's it for today, I hope you all have a wonderful day & thanks for stopping by & visiting with me. Talk to you soon.

Yummy Cupcakes!

Hello Peeps!

Well I think I am finally on the road to recovery, yippee!!! I feel really good today so I hope I can finally go out tomorrow to do some shopping, that's my plan as of now & I'm sticking to it, hehehe!!!

Listen, I'm starting to get a good collection of Copic markers going(I've got 14 more on the way that should bring me to around 50 I think) & I need to find some way of storing them...so how do you store your Copics? I'm thinking of getting the Making Memories Desktop Carousel but I'm not sure. Send me a picture or a link to your blog with a picture of how you store yours so I can get some kind of idea on what might work for me.

Here are two birthday cards I made just before Thanksgiving. I had this cute little cheap cupcake stamp that I hadn't used yet & decided to ink it up to make 2 fast birthday cards for my stash, I didn't realize I have no stash anymore & I need to make some cards to have on hand. Well now that I'm running behind that will have to wait till after the holidays now. I need to get my butt in gear & make my Christmas cards soon.

Well that's it for now so have a great evening & thanks for stopping by today! I love to read your comments!

Guiding Light!!!

Hello all!

Just a quick post, still feeling lousy. Just when I think I feel better this cold decides to knock me down again. I still have not been out of the house since Friday & its driving me crazy! I have cards & projects to get done for the holidays & have not even stepped in my craft room since Wednesday. Hubby has had his cold for 3 weeks now, he feels much better but not 100% yet. I am so thankful that it is not the flu though.

OK on to my card! Here is the card I made DH Dan for his birthday which was on Thanksgiving Day this year. It's not the best picture & it looks better in person but I did stamp the lighthouse a little crooked (can ya tell?)...oh well! I think I need to use my stamp-a-ma-jig more often ya?

Thanks for spending a little part of your day with me today & have a great day!

Top Note Place Cards/Candy Boxes

Hi Everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I had Marc's in-laws Caroline & Stan here this year for Thanksgiving dinner & we all had a wonderful time. My son-in-law Steve was sick at home so he couldn't make it but we sent Jessica home with a nice plate of food for whenever he could eat it. Dan had been sick for 2 weeks trying to shake a cold & of course I came down with it on Sunday & fought through it while preparing for Thursday's festivities (cleaning house, cooking my famous stuffing, etc) but by Thursday evening I had lost my voice & my cold was taking effect with a vengeance. I got up early to go shopping with Jessica & Sarah but by 10 am I had had enough & wanted to come home. I slept on the couch for most of the day & night. I still have no voice & it seems to get worse at night. It's not the flu (Swine or otherwise) thank God but it sure does take a lot out of you whatever it is, hope it goes away soon, I hate to be sick!

Well here are the Top Note boxes I put on every ones plate with some candy inside, I put names on them so they all knew where they were sitting. They looked so cute waiting for our guests & everyone loved them! As you can tell by now I love making these boxes, so look out for the Christmas ones coming soon! You can find the tutorials for these on Tammy's blog but watch out their addictive!!!

Have a great day & thanks for stopping by today!






Back of the Male Pilgrim






Back of the Turkey. There was no version of the female Pilgrim so I made my own, using a Pilgrim female I had made years ago for scrapbooking with Creative Memories. It's not that great but it's not that bad either. If you come up with a good one I would luv to see it so drop me a comment with a link to your female Pilgrim.

Mini Post -it note Keychains

Hi Peeps!

I know, I know, it's been a while since I've posted but I needed a break, sorry. Look what I made last week...their so cute hah? You know how your always looking for a piece of paper in your purse some times & you never have any when you need it? Well attach this inside & walla, you'll have some next time ladies! I came across this on Angie's blog (take a look over there, she has some great ideas) she has a video on how to make these so click HERE to watch.

Wow, I can't believe it's Thanksgiving in a few days....where did the year go? This year Dan's birthday falls on Thanksgiving so we will be celebrating that as well. I made a card for him that I will share with you sometime next week. Well I hope you all have a fantastic weekend & thanks for stopping by today!
