Fore your Birthday

Hello Peeps!

Here is the birthday card that I made for Marc & I love how it turned out! I think it looked better in my mind but I have to say I think I did it justice...what do you think? The spiral didn't quite turn out the way I imagined & I cut a few of them out but couldn't get it just right & I wanted to do 2 spirals but couldn't get it to work the way I wanted so this is what I ended up with...not bad, I like it! I think Marc will like it. He won't get to see it till he returns home, he's on business in San Francisco next week & will be spending his birthday there. His birthday is Wednesday & I sure hope he gets to connect with one of his best friends from high school (who now lives in San Francisco)while he's out there.

The sentiment on the front is computer generated & the Golf sentiment inside is a Digi from Create with TLC. I also used some golf stamps from TAC & Stamping Bella.

Talk to you again soon.

Hi Peeps!

Sorry I have nothing crafty for you today...I think my mojo went on vacation & forgot to take me along, hahaha!!! I need to make a birthday card soon so I hope to get to my craft room & get started. I have an idea for a card & I hope it comes out the way I see it in my head...so stay tuned for that, I'll let you know how it turns out or not!

Anyway here are some cards that I received from some crafty friends over the holidays. As always thanks for stopping by today.

It's a Winter Wonderland here!!!

This post is for all my Hawaiian friends! Sending you some of the white stuff...my gift to you...LOL!!!

This is also a post to all my good friends, this is what it looks like here on the east coast. Our neighbor Glenn is so good to us during these BIG snow storms...Bless his heart! He's always helping out with snow blowing our drive way sometimes, he's the BEST! Thanks so much Glenn! I have to come up with something to show our appreciation.

Two posts in one day...WOW! Don't forget to check out the other post below...so grab a cup of coffee & relax!

Thanks for visiting!

Dan & our good neighbor Glenn cleaning up the drive way.


View of the drive way from the patio, it's about 80 feet. The car is parked 3/4 of the way up so that Dan could shovel there first then move the car up to the patio & shovel the rest of the driveway.

Starbucks Gift Package

Hi peeps!

It's a winter wonderland here on the east coast with plenty of snow! Kinda looks like my blog background...LOL!!! I'll be back in a little while with some pictures of the snow once I crop the pics that I took earlier. I hope you all had a great Christmas, I sure did. Although I didn't get a NEW camera (didn't really ask for one, just dropped a slight hint at the end when I was getting frustrated with mine) I had a great Christmas. I got the Kindle & I'm real happy with it, I luv it! Maybe I'll get the camera for my birthday...hint, hint, Dan!!!

Here is what I made for Jessica and Sarah with the Starbucks gift cards I gave them. I added chocolates inside the cup too, they loved it!



Isn't this soooo darn cute...I luv it!


One for Jessica & one for Sarah...forgot to take a picture of it all wrapped up, I will have to do that Christmas day after they open it.


Jessica took these pictures for me of the cups all wrapped & looking pretty on Christmas day with her NEW Camera...she did a great job too!!!




close-up of felt snowflakes...I used the die from MFT


This is the die I used Sizzix 'Tea Cup' ScoreBoards XL Die and the logo is punched with a large 2" or 2 1/2" punch (I can't remember right now)using the sleeve for the Starbucks hot cups. I put one in the back & one in the front, great way to recycle too...don't ya think?!? I used craft CS & then glued green CS so it looked more like their colors. Hope you like it! I saw this on someones gallery or blog & in my excitement forgot who or where it was...so sorry. If you know who it is or if you've seen it please let me know so I can give them the credit they deserve. Thanks for stoppin' by today!

Stay warm & dry...have a great day!!!

Merry Christmas!

Good morning everyone!

Christmas eve...can you believe it! Where did the year go? I wanted to stop by today to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, please stay safe and have the best Christmas ever with your family & friends!

Check out this poem that I saw on Michelle Zindarf’s blog that a friend sent to her (it's so perfect for her), I love it, it's so darn cute & I wanted to share it with you. Gotta love it! Sing it to the tune from “Walking in a Winter Wonderland”


Stamping in a Winter Wonderland

Brayers roll. . . . are you listening.
On the card. . . . ink is glistening.
A Beautiful sight. . . we’re happy tonight.
Stamping in a Winter wonderland.

In the kitchen we can stamp a snowman.
Then add color to his carrot nose.
You’ll say: Are you Finished?
I’ll say: No Ma’am, I need to add some glitter to make snow.

When we stamp . . . ain’t it thrilling.
Even when . . . . the powders spilling.
We’ll create and we’ll play. . . .the art stamper way,
Stamping in a Winter wonderland.

Merry Christmas! Much love to you all!
