Good morning!  This is the last of the 2013 Favorites, I hope to stamp some today so I will have new projects to share.  I worked on Dalton's room yesterday but still have more painting to do today.  I had a hard time keeping him from "helping" me paint.  Thanks for stopping by!

Good morning, it is so cold here!   Big plans today...Dalton's room is getting a  makeover.  He requested blue, green, and yellow paint and a sign for his room....No Girls Allowed...he is kinda out numbered.  He loves the movie Toy Story so I ordered him some Toy Story bedding last night.  He also wants shelves added to his room, he likes to line up his toys and is methodical about them being categorized.  I hope to try to sneak in a few minutes to stamp today as well, I have a preorder from the occasions catalog that is still in the box.  Thanks for stopping by!

It is hard to believe 2014 will be here in a couple days!  My life is so good right now....even with the craziness  and busyness of the little ones...I know they will grow up so fast and I really don't like to think about that.  Blessings to you in 2014!

Good morning!  I have not had a lot of stamping time lately, my kids are out of school until Jan 6 so my days are  spent with them until they go back to school.  I treasure this time!  Yesterday I took the two older girls shopping and left the two little ones with my husband.  As soon as I walked in the door, he grabbed his coat and took off..I think Ava and Dalton had been a little mischievous...or in his words...whiney,demanding, fussy,wouldn't share,messy,....yep, that's what 3 and 4 year olds do!  

Since I don't have anything new to show you, I have picked my favorites from 2013 to share for the next few days.  Thanks for stopping by!

Hello....

Good afternoon, hope you had a wonderful Christmas, ours was jam packed with all the goodness Christmas brings.  Today I have a Sneak Peek of some products from the Occasions catalog which starts January 3.  The DSP is gorgeous and is called Retro Fresh.  The banner was cut with one of the new Banner Framelits and the stamp is from a Valentine set called Love you to the Moon.


I wanted to take some photos of my kiddos on Christmas but they were totally uncooperative.  I managed to get a few but then my camera mysteriously disappeared.  When I found my camera(it was hanging on the back of the Christmas tree), some of the pictures had mysteriously disappeared.  Here are a few not so good ones.

It is very hard to get 4 kids to stand still especially with my husband behind me making faces at them.

Finally all of them standing together but of course not all of them looking at the camera.  So, I took them outside and it was worse...

Dalton ran off and Shelby ran after him and Ava didn't want to be outside.

And then good all four of them standing together ....except Ava is crying, Dalton is trying to get away, and Shelby has a sucker in her mouth....I give up!  Next year I am hiring a professional photographer!

MOJO MONDAY

Good morning!  I haven't done a MOJO Monday sketch in a long time and thought this one was really cute.

I used some new products from the upcoming  SAB catalog.  The DSP is called Sweet Sorbet, I love these colors together and the pop of black just makes them prettier.  The banner is made with another SAB item, a pennant punch.  The stamp set, Perfect Pennants, is in the new Occasions catalog.  If you didn't get a catalog from me in the mail and want one, come by and pick one up.

Prince of Peace

Good morning!  I finished up all my custom orders and they are delivered!!!  This one was for our pastors grandmother, the sweetest lady I know.  She wanted something to give to the ladies in her Sunday School class for Christmas.  I put the sentiment on the front and punched an oval in the back so the wrapped candy would show through.

She decided on these little nugget jars made with the Perfectly Preserved stamp set and framelit dies.  She needed 14 of them.  She thought she might add a little something and found these angel ornaments but wanted to personalize them.  She said her handwriting wasn't steady so asked me to do it, I stressed over this for days because I was afraid of messing them up.

So, then we had to come up with something to package them in so I decorated some white bags with a doily and a sentiment.  She was very pleased!

See Ya Later

Good morning!  I have had a box of goodies from the Occasions catalog and Sale-A-Bration sitting here for  two weeks and haven't had time to even open the box.  I finally made time this morning to get one project done.  The stamp set, See Ya Later, is a SAB set and it has a lot of cute quips and my kids I know I use a lot of little quips to them,  the little ones still love it.  For example Dalton is referred to as "Little Boy Blue" and Ava is "Little Miss Muffett" and Sadie is "tootsie toes".  The one they dislike is "Nothing is instant, not even pudding"  which makes Shelby mad every time.  The pretty DSP is available soon and is called Watercolor Wonder.  Thanks for stopping by!

Craft Show Favorites

Good morning!  I am off to a craft show this morning, I whipped up a few of these to take with me since they have been my #1 seller this season.

And a few single cups as well.

Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful weekend!

Oh, What Fun!

Good morning!  I am happy to say I knocked out another custom order yesterday but I took on another one so I still have two to go.  My customer requested something with these peppermint sticks in it and I had a few of these tubes left over from another project so i made a little holder for them.

The tubes hold three sticks.

I made thirteen of these cuties!

And six more gift card holders....

This is my favorite image from the Color Me Christmas stamp set.  I worked six hours without taking a break yesterday but it felt good to send this order out the door.  Thanks for stopping by!
