Happy New Year

Hello everyone~~~

We are off to start a whole New year. I hope this one brings each of you lots of joy, love, and good health. For those that scrap..TONS of creative vibes. It's hard to believe that this decade has flown by...where did the time go?

  I have lots of memories of this decade too...some happy and some sad.  I became a Mammaw 3 times....My DD graduated  high school...My DS graduated college...I was married...and then there were the sad....9/11...hardships with my son...Losing not one...but both of my Grandfathers and both Grandmothers....Job decreasing...economy looking grim...I do pray this year turns everything into a POSITIVE.
Love and hugs for a wonderful 2010~~

Holidays

Hello to all~~

The upcoming holidays have me busier than usual. Besides workign 10 hour days plus...I now am on vacation. But it won't be that...lol. I will be trimming the tree, wrapping gifts, making candies, baking cookies, and trying to put my scraproom in order. NO resting here. Soo much to do and little time to do it all in. It will be all worth it once it's over and done.

 

I want to wish you all the happiest of Holidays...I hope that it's truely a blessful event and memories are plenty. Enjoy the family and do not forget the true reason for Christmas.

 

God Bless~

Creative Ideas.....

Here are some things I've been working on for a swap...I hope you all enjoy them.
First is an altered photo frame. I painted it pink and then used Tim Holtz walnut crackle paint on it....soo cool. Such a wonderful technique!!!! THen I painted the word Amore....in pink...added ribbons..and handmade the flower. 

This is the second item. It's a perpetual calendar. It was *naked* wooden...I painted it pink to...see a pattern...lol. Then add designer paper, flowers, ribbon, and skittles... It turned out really nice. In this photo...I still need to add the Months to it.


enjoy...

I've gave my blog a new look. What do you think of it? Leave a post and let me know...I appreciate all comments.

This is a Christmas tree I had made out of a transparency sheet and vellum glued to it. Then took several snowflakes, cut from my Cricut in a few sizes and glued them to the vellum. Added colored buttons in shades of blues, half-backed pearls in silver and navy...and added a silver star on top. The star is actually 3 stars...glued at the points to make a triangle to place on the top. Then I cut 2 circles for the skirt....LOVE how it turned out...it's for a swap...so I'm hoping my partner will love it. I had seen it on another blog and loved how she did hers...mine is not as pretty...but I love it anyways.

He is a Vizsla....a breed of bird dog. SO he is always on the trail of something....lol.  It took sometime for him and Kahlua to get along..but now they are buddies.
