Pebbles

Hip Hip Hooray! I won the give-away over on the Pebbles Blog! :)
I can't wait to get it so I can create with it. I have never used anything like this before so it will be an awesome adventure.

Spring is almost here! :)

Today I watched a Robin pluck a worm out of the soil on the front lawn. Good signs for sure. The spiders are starting to run about the ceiling too. Yuk! I hate spiders. My cat likes to catch 'em. Yay! I see rain for tonight instead of snow. That's good news.

Hi everyone. Over on Jennifer's Blog today she asked the question: How can we save money. So I remembered I saw this awesome tip here on this blog and think it really helps in many ways. Check it out. It shows how to reuse the printed paper inside of envelopes. Great ideas.

Celebration today. :)

Today is my Birthday. :) I have recieved a card from my Sweet Aunt Martha, my Mom-in-law, my Sis. These are people who give cards on time unlike me. I don't know why I wait til the last minute to try and come up with a card idea. I need to work on that. ( one new years resolve)
My Mother told me I was born on the coldest day of that year. I think it's suppose to be a pretty nice day. I went to get my driver's license renewed today and couldn't because of the gov. getting strick on ID ing and making sure of citisenship. I have to show my birth certificate and prove my legal residence. Everyone from now on has to show these two documents to renew your license. But they gave me a temp to give me time to bring it in which was kool.
I got a Pandora bracelet for Christmas and two of my daughters gave me a charm for it. Then I got two more with the money gift from my Mom and Dad and my Mom-in-law. So today I got two more for my Birthday. I have two kinds now. Pandora and Chamilia beads. I luv the bracelet and charms. It's fun. http://www.pandora-jewelry.com/ and http://www.chamilia.com/.
I will work on getting photos up on for my next posting.

Inchies!!! :) I LUV "EM

I love inchies. They are so adorable. They are fun to create. I found a great Blog to learn from and here is the link. Ellen Hutson is a very talented creative girl. Her work is fabulous. I just had to spread the word on such an inspiring Artist. Enjoy! :)

Her work is simply gorgeous. She is a very talented girl. You won't be sorry....

Took my Mom shopping to the craft store. She had fun looking at all the papercraft supplies with me. I am wondering now that maybe she would like me to teach her how to make a card. I think she just might have some fun. I found the most beautiful brads by K&Company. I luv their stuff. Also got some of their gem adhesives. I got a big 2 1/4 inch circle punch by Paper Shapers but it does not cut the paper so I am going to have to drive bout 30 miles to exchange it for another one. What I would really like to find is the circle coluzzle template.

My Latest Projects

This is what I am working on now. But I have run out of the dominent colored yarn :(



I made this crocheted kitty to give my granddaughter for Valentine's Day



I made this for my son-in-law in his favorite colors. He loves it.

Hello

It's the last week for January and makes us a lttle closer to warmer weather. It has been miserably freezing this month. But we are much better off than some. Like my Mom and Dad having their water pipes and drains freeze up.
I am so excited about winning a really nice idea book over on Jennifer's Blog. Can't wait to get it in the mail.
I have been checking out the Making Memories Blog today hoping to win a prize from their give-aways from the CHA show in California. They are showing the New Product coming out this year. They are also giving away their new electronic cutting tool: SLICE machine. I got one for Christmas. I have'nt had a chance to use it yet. My DH went to buy it at A.C. Moore two weeks before Christmas and they were sold out so he got a raincheck. I didn't get it 'til yesterday. I also picked up two design cards for it, Basics 2 and Noteworthy. It comes with Basics 1. They have come out with new design cards for it at the CHA show.
I finally finished the afghan I crocheted for my Son-in-law. He loves it. He likes how warm it is. It is in the colors black and neon green which he likes.

Happy New Year

I cant wait to see this again.


Best Wishes for a God Blessed New Year!

Hope everyone's Christmas was merry and bright.

I have started to crochet a lap-ghan for giving to someone. Hopefully it will keep me warm while I make it. It is so cold. I hate it.
I will be working on alot of projects this month in preperation for Valentine's Day and Birthdays for the new year. I will also be working on organizing my messed up craft space. I also need to upload photos I have taken so I can share them here on my blog. Here are a few photos. Hope you enjoy.

I Hope you Enjoy as Much as I Did. :)

How Jesus Loves Us

It's Christmas Eve

My granddaughter having fun in the snow!!

She is sooo cute!

I can't believe we have had a whole year go by us. I am never ready for Christmas. I hate that. My resolution for the new year is to become better organized. That is my new goal. I have become better at being on time for things which was a past goal. It's pretty easy to do when things are eliminated which cause less time.

I did not find what I was shopping for last night. So I ended up getting something else instead. Not really that happy with the whole shopping experience but hey what can ya do? Improvise.

I never got my Christmas cards done. I didn't get many cards this year as I have in the past years. What is a Christmas card anyway? Why do people send cards saying Merry Christmas? Is it something that a person came up with to make money on? I am on a mission now to find out how sending a Christmas card all started. So if anyone out there knows anything please let me in on it. Instead of making cards I made homemade Mounds candy. It took me like four hours. I will never make them again. I got the recipe off someones blog. I like the store bought Mounds Bars better. I just hope the people I give to will enjoy them. I will send out a card to family and friends in my life.

It will just be a Wish for a Happy and Blessed New Year card.
