Holiday Chaos

Hello to all of my followers! I am sorry for the lack of posts the last week or so! I will do my best to catch up on all the chaos from the holidays! Anyone have plans for New Year's Eve? This year is the first time in 3 years that we will be able to go out and spend the night out with my brother and his wife. I am pretty excited.

I do have some photos to show of some mini cards I made for my partner in my GIBBS swap. I altered a glue dots box and put all 12 cards inside. I hope you like them!

Pink Christmas Ornament

Hello everyone! HAPPY MONDAY! This week is the week of Christmas! Are you all ready for Christmas? Did you get all your baking and shopping done? I hope to be finished tomorrow. All presents are wrapped so far...
Todays post will show you an ornament I made for my partner Peachy in my GIBBS 5 swap on the Cricut Messageboard. I am unsure on how to explain how to make the ornament- since alot of it was trial and error. I did use Core'dinations, and sanded the cardstock to get a two tone ornament.

Tree Ornament

I used SU papers for this project, and my scalloped circle nestabilities.I have to say this is not my original idea- this came from the Little Blue House Blog. They had a 12 days of ornaments run, and this one was one of my favorites. HERE is where you can find the instructions for this.

I created this ornament for my partner Peachy in the GIBBS 5 swap on the Cricut Messageboard.

Thanks for stopping by! Please let me know what you think! Have a fabulous weekend!

Christmas Candle with video instructions

I know I promised a layout this week- but I have been working on getting all of my Christmas cards in the mail! I hope to get all my cards mailed by Saturday. In the mean time, I have purchased some video editing software, and RE-edited my first video. Please tell me what you think!

Santa Stop Here! Door Hanger DT PROJECT

Hello Everyone! I hope you all are having a fantastic Monday! My children were pretty ecstatic to see all the goodies that St. Nick brought for them! I have to say they got spoiled rotten! I'll include some pictures of them enjoying their goodies! But- my main focus today is about the Santa Stop Here! Door Hanger Design Team Project for Club Ruby Designers! Its a very cute and simple project. You can get the instructions at www.clubrubydesigners.com They have FREE basic memberships! Check out the newest and growing online crafting community!
Below are 4 pictures- 1 of my Design Team Project, and 3 of my children enjoying their goodies from St. Nick.

The reason for the Lucky Charms- we dont have those very often in our household, because my son LOVES to just eat the marshmallows and nothing else! HA HA! So- they got a "treat" with that for breakfast this morning! Please dont be afraid to leave a comment! Just saying "hi" is great too! Have a wonderful week!

Glitter Ornaments with instructions

Hello fellow crafters or admirers!

Today I finished 8 small ornaments. I used a pretty neat technique too! You use a little bit of Pledge Floor Cleaner (with future shine). it costs about $6 at Wal-Mart. Swirl it around the inside of your glass ornament. Then empty out the excess. Add glitter, shake around until the ornament is evenly covered. Shake out the excess glitter, and add the metal back onto the ornament, add ribbon to the metal, and you have a finished ornament! I used about 10- 12 inches of satin Stampin' Up! ribbon for some ornaments, and sheer for the others.

I hope this was explained well enough for you. Please ask any questions you may have! Please let me know what you think! Have a wonderful day!

Being a BUSY CRAFT BEE!

Hello Everyone!

I know I have been EXTREMELY behind with blog posts. I've been fighting bronchitis for the 4th week now. Not fun! BUT on the upside- I have a craft show on Saturday, and I am going to try to sell glass ornaments that are hand decorated by me! :) Here are a few pictures of the large ornaments. Tell me what you think!

Have a great day!
