Best of Snow

Good afternoon!  Today I have Christmas cad using images from the Best of Snow and a sentiment from the latest Paper Pumpkin kit.  I love this little snowman, I didn't have him from when he was available before so I was glad to see him come back.  I am working on custom orders today trying to get caught up so I can get a little shopping done next week.  Thanks for stopping by.

Very Merry Christmas

 

Good morning!  Hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving, we certainly did.  Today I have a cute little nugget box cased from Connie Stewart.  I made several of these for my last craft show and luckily I had one left since I forgot to photograph them beforehand.

They hold seven nuggets perfectly.  I have one more craft show before Christmas so I will be busy getting ready for that this week.  Thanks for stopping by!

Gobble, Gobble

Good evening!  I stayed home today and baked......48 small loaves and 4 large loaves of pumpkin bread.  Most of it has already been delivered to friends and neighbors but a lot  has also been eaten by two little ones.  I have a loaf pan that I can bake eight small loaves at once and I emptied it and started refilling for round two.  After I got the second batch in the oven, I turned around to start putting icing on the first ones....but there was only four on the plate.  Being the detective that I am I was able to follow the crumb path out of the kitchen, up the stairs, and into a bedroom where I lost sight of crumbs.  But I did hear some giggles in the closet...there I found Ava(age 3) and Dalton(age 4) with a half eaten loaf in each hand.  Those two are  never ending fun! 

I have another turkey project to share.  These were made for a customer who needed 20 for her kids at daycare.  Very simple and fun, just add a few M's or candy corn and they are sure to please.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hope You're Nice

Good Monday morning, hope your weekend was wonderful!  I have been seeing these cute boxes on several blogs and decided to try one.  I didn't have a pattern to go by so I just made it up as I went and it worked on the first try.  I made four 3x3 cards with envelopes and probably could fit as many as six.

I used Santa's list for my cards, the card stock colors are Whisper White, Gumball Green, and Cherry Cobbler and the DSP is Season of Style.

Update on my sickies...I took Shelby back to the Prompt Care Clinic on Friday since her doctor was booked solid.  He listened to her chest, looked in her ears,  told me she had a viral illness and that it just had to run it's course(at this point we were already at 7 days of letting it run its course).  He made me feel like I was over reacting and should not have brought her.  So, all day Saturday and Sunday we waited for her to get better but she continued to have fever up to 103 and coughed nonstop.  So Sunday evening I took her to the ER...she has a double ear infection and pneumonia in one lung.  We came home with four medicines and another nebulizer.  She and Toy are sitting in their recliners with their blankets,  both doing breathing treatments with their cough drops and a row of meds on the table but they are still able to fight over the TV remote.  I need a vacation(alone)!!!!

Sick?

Good morning!  I am ready to admit...I am a paper collector, addict, hoarder...I have problems when it comes to pretty paper.  I am trying to use up some of my "collection" since we will have a Spring catalog very soon and I know I will want all that paper too.  I used up a little retired paper on this project as I made several sets.  This is an idea I saw on Pinterest to decorate a can of Chicken noodle Soup with a cute little punch chicken.

Speaking of sick...I am taking my Shelby back to the doctor today since she is worse.  She still has fever over 102 and coughs constantly.

Joy, Peace, Love

Good morning!  Today I have a gift project, who doesn't love apple cider and even better that it is for the Keurig.  I decorated a Tag a Bag Gift Box with a big bow made with the Gift Bow Bigz die in the Holiday catalog.

Three cups fit easily with a little raffia.  Thanks for stopping by!

November Paper Pumpkin

Good morning!  Today I have a card made from the November Paper Pumpkin kit.  I must admit, I haven't even opened all of the kits I have got so far.  I just haven't had time and also I am not a big fan of kits, I like to do my own thing.  I did add the Gumball Green layer but everything else is from the kit, the Noel panel comes pre-printed and pre-cut and the stars come sewn together.

Warning.....the rest of this post is just a crazy woman ranting!
I guess I spoke too soon on Monday about everyone in my family being on the mend.  Yesterday round three hit....I took my son, Seth, to the ER and he now has pneumonia.  While at the ER the school called and said Shelby had a fever of 102 so I took her to an After Hours Clinic after I got Seth home and settled in with his breathing treatments going.  Luckily Shelby doesn't have pneumonia....yet...only an Upper Respiratory Infection.  Sadie has already had her turn with double ear infection and walking pneumonia this month.  Dalton still has a cough from his cold but no fever. I sent Ava home so she wouldn't get exposed to all the sickies. I am the only one left standing!!!  I must be healthy as a horse because I have spent the last two weeks in either the hospital or a doctor's office and haven't even as much as sneezed...yet. 

Christmas Cheer

Good afternoon!  Today I have a decorated Kraft Gift Box, these are very affordable at $2.95 for four.  They are 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 and are food safe.  I plan to put a few homemade cookies in mine.  I added a pretty Cherry Cobbler box on top made the Bigz Bow die.  Thanks for stopping by!

Holiday Cheer

Good morning, hope you had a wonderful weekend!  Today's project is a quick and easy treat holder.  I used the Two Tags die and adhered two of the bigger tags together and tied them with cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine.  I used the Festive Flurry stamp set and matching Framelit dies to make the snowflakes.  I found snowflake York Peppermint Patties that are shaped like snowflakes and they fit perfectly inside.

We had an uneventful weekend YEA!!!!  Nobody ended up in the hospital, nothing exciting happened, just a stay at home weekend except to go to church on Sunday morning.
