Christmas Cards I Made This Weekend!





These are the cards I made this weekend. I sat and relaxed for a few hours and this is what I came up with. Sometimes I can make alot and sometimes I get nothing made. I guess I was in the mood this weekend. Can You tell I love snowmen and Gingerbread?????

Great Weekend!


Well I got alot done this weekend. I cleaned house and managed to do alot of cards. The best part of the weekend was my grandson's birthday party. He is 2!!!!! My baby is growing up! Friday he got his first haircut. He no longer looks like a baby. He had banana curls and now there gone!!!! He'll always be my baby. I took alot of pictures.The weather here has been great! It's been in the 60's. It's hard to believe it's Nov. I can't wait for our first snowstorm. Maybe we will get some on Thanksgiving. Thats when I decorate for christmas. We go to daughters for Thanksgiving dinner, then come home and turn the lights on. Then the next day my daughter and I go out at 4am for black friday. We call that our family tradition. This year will be a little different. We won't buy as much. With the economy like it is we're cutting down! We usually wear weird Christmas hats and have the Christmas music loud. We stop at our Starbucks for our pumpkin latte's. Of cause mine is the Lite one!!!!! We usually hit Michael's first, then Kohl's, then off to the Mall. By noontime we've had enough and come home. We love getting the great buys!!!!! Here's a picture of Grandson eating his cake. The tongue says it all!!!!!

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well the bewitching day is here!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I'm hoping it's not to cold out tonight. My tradition is to sit on my swing with elderly neighbor dressed up and give candy. We've been doing this for 5 years now. It started off because I didn't want her opening her door alone. We get kids by the car load. We make a fun night of it trying not to eat all our candy before the kids come. LOL! I'm sure all of you are laughing at that one!!!!! I love seeing all the little ones dressed in there costumes. This year my 2 yr. old grandson will be coming. He'll be dressed as Captain Hook! I'll take pictures and put on here tomorrow.Well everyone, have a safe Halloween!!!! Don't get scared!!!!!!!!

Busy Working On Items For A Benefit !



Yes, I'm busy again! You know the old saying "If you want something done ask the busiest person you know". Well thats me. My dd asked me to donate to a benefit for someone at her job. Of cause, I can't just make 1 thing! I'm making a lot of things!. I guess you could say I'm an over achiever. They need raffle things so I just made a huge basket with an altered pail with greeting cards, altered journal, altered planner, altered address book, altered clip, altered clip board, altered closepin and bookmark. Then I made a tabletop christmas tree and a knitted scarf. I'm still thinking of something else to make. It's for a good cause and I want the table to be full of items to raffle. In between that I did this card to sell on my etsy site.

Worried For Nothing!

I guess I worried for nothing. My grandson ended up getting 3 stitches. What a champ! He acted like he never got hurt. I guess boys are accident proof. Lol! I'm working on more cards. I'm selling them in a floral shop. Hopefully this will be a good adventure for me. I'm trying to get ready for some craft shows. I got rained out of the one Sunday! Oh well, there are others. I'm thinking of doing a video on some of my cards. Give ideas to anyone who would want them. I have a Flip, so all I need to do is figure how to do it! That could take months! Lol. Well grandson will be here in a few minutes. I need to make his breakfast and bring out on patio. He loves eating out there and watch the wiggles! Have a great day everyone!

What a miserable rainy day today. I was supposed to do a craft show. I got up and packed my jeep only to have a bad rain storm. So I unpacked and called it a day. I was really excited about this show. It was my first show with my cards. Oh well, I'll have the cards for all my other shows. I've been busy working on Christmas items for all my other shows. Working on alot of new items!
I'm selling my cards in a Flower Shop now. I can't wait to see if they do good there. I hope to start selling in different shops all around my state. That's my new focus!!! Maybe I won't have to do craft shows.
Well Fall is definately here. I can smell it in the air! I'm almost done decorating outside. Halloween will be here, then thanksgiving, then my favorite Christmas!!!!! I've already started my Christmas Shopping! I buy and wrap. Usually I forget what I buy and buy too much!
