| I wanted a cool way to give my nephews money for Christmas so I came up with this. I taped 20 $1.00 bills together end to end, rolled them up and wrapped them in the box. On one end I made a hand from Everyday Paper Dolls holding a "pull my finger" sign. On the other end I put a sign that says "Hope you have a stinkin' good Holiday!" I know I have a warped sense of humor : ) Thanks for stopping by! |

| Since it was marathon baking day around here I thought I would add they cute recipe albums I made. These were inspired by Mary at cardztv. Here is her link. http://cardztv.blogspot.com/2010/12/holiday-cookbook-album-part-3.html I made the top one for myself and the bottom album I gave to my mom. I used Plantin Schoolbook for the font and welded them together using my gypsy. Storybook for the scalloped square on the front of the album. To make the tab pages I used a rectangle from George and welded a scalloped square from Storybook. Thanks for looking and have a great Holiday!! |

| I know it has been a month since I posted last. It seems I spent every waking minute that I was not at work in my craft room getting ready for this craft show. I told myself I would not wait until the last minute. I don't know where all my time went :-( But all is good. My goal was to at least make my booth rental back. I did that plus a little extra. I definitely do not get rich doing this and my husband thinks I'm crazy but it is something I enjoy : ) |

| My daughter is in the fall play this year. Last night was her first performance. She did a great job if I do say so myself :) I made a little something for the cast. I used A Child's Year for both the bone and the tag. I did not get a pic of the whole batch but here are a few. |
 |
| I had to make a couple of cards for my nephew's birthday. They're brothers and their birthdays are 1 day apart. So I decided to just make the same card twice :P Their boys, they won't care. They just want what's inside! Lol |
 |
| I know this has been done for years. But this is the first year I have ever Boo'ed anyone! I had made up three bags for my youngest daughter and I to pass out. She had a blast "ding, dong, ditching" haha. I think I scored some brownie points for still being a cool mom. And that's pretty hard to come by when your 14 year old will think your cool. Anyway, each included a candle that I tied a ribbon around. A cocoa slider made with the Cuttlebug and the Swiss Dot folder. The spider is from Paper Doll Dress Up. Frankenstien is a package of cookies. I cut his hair free hand and used Plantin to cut out the circles for his eyes. For the bag I cut the moon from Plantin and the witch is from A Child's Year. |

| Today is National Card Making Day :) So here is what I came up with. It is nothing fancy and was super quick to make. It seems that the last several cards I have made has been quick and simple. I guess that's because I don't have time to spend when I need a card. Maybe when I do have more time to work on projects I should stock pile some up. Just a thought. Anyhoo, my grandpa has a birthday this week and this is for him. |

| This is the second explosion box that I have made. On this one instead of having multiple layers I decided to add a 3-D object. (Sorry, the lighting in my craft room is not the greatest for taking pics.) I think it turned out pretty cool. I used my Martha Stewart Scoreboard for the box and lid. The Cricut cuts are from George and Accent Essentials. |
 |
| These are for a Twilight recipe swap that I was in on the Cricut Message board. I used the Martha Stewart drippy goo punch, stickles and primas. I cut the circles out t using George. I can't wait to get the rest back! I love Twilight! |
 |
| I picked these bottles up at our Walmart. They were on clearance for $1.00. I used white contact paper. For the pink bottle I used Gypsy Wonderings. The green one I used A Child's Year and Stone Script and the blue one I used Everyday Paper Dolls, George and A Child's Year. |
