These are little treat jars I made for my nieces and nephews' dogs. I thought they turned out really cute and were pretty cheap to make.

Here is the picture I promised. This is a sample of what a couple of friends and I have been working on during the last few weeks. Keep in mind that most of these are not my ideas but stuff I have cased from Splitcoaststampers.com. I think we made at least 50 of everything if not more.

Sorry it's been so long since I have posted but boy have I been busy. I have make a week long trip to Texas to visit family and came back home wide open. I don't think I have slowed down since I pulled back into the driveway. I have been busy making little goodies and gifts for everyone. It would be nice if I could find time to do a little Christmas shopping before the holidays get here. Here are a few of the things I have done. Keep in mind, I don't know how to make one of anything.

I am making about a dozen of these for my nieces and family members.

I have also made about 75 of these for just about everyone.

Here is my Christmas card. This is a horrible photo but I thought that they were really cute in person.

The sad part of it all is this doesn't not even begin to touch all the stuff than three of my friends and I have been working on during the last couple of weeks. I will try to get a photo of the some of the stuff and post it in the next few days. Lets just say its a lot!!!!!

This past weekend, I was able to do a little more stamping. This is the "Wishing You Cheer" set out of the catalog. It was a fun set to use. I still have not figured out what I will be doing for my Christmas cards or which set of stamps I want to use. Funny how I can come up with the right card for everyone else!

I have several friends and a 9 year old niece who are Elvis fans. I thought this would be a fun card to make. Now the question is... Who do I send it too?

Look what I did this weekend! I have been wanting to try this but it looked a little complicated. It was so easy!!! I found the step by step directions here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/paperbow.php)

Friday and Saturday were busy. Both Drew and Zoe's teams won this weekend in the first round of playoffs. Yeah! Drew even scored a touchdown!

So Sunday during the race I was finally able to stamp a little. I will post more photos during the week.

I have a good friend of mine who is also one of my stampers and I miss her right now. We are fixing to take care of that though! I made this card for her last night and hope she likes it.

Ok, I thought I would have had these posted over the weekend but nothing ever goes as planned. Here is a photo of what we will be doing at the November 15th and 17th Workshops. I can not take credit for this. These are projects we made at the Fall Retreat I went to last month. I thought that they were wonderful projects and couldn't wait to share them with you. We will make all six cards and a Christmas ornament then you get to take your stamps home with you. Please remember the deadline for this class is November 2nd.

I finally got a chance to get in my craft room and stamp. The problem is that there is so much I want to do that I am a little over whelmed! Help!!!

I made a few little gifts for my husband to take to the ladies he works with. I first started off with some book marks made with the Jumbo paper clips. These are so easy to make and just to cute!

Then I made them these grocery list made by having legal pads cut down in thirds. I got this idea from http://www.chicnscratch.typepad.com/. I think she is a genius! Again, these are really easy to make and will make great gifts. Let's hope his ladies at work like them as much as I do.

After that I finally got a chance to make the lip balm holders. I have spotted them on Splitcoast stampers and had to try my hand at them. Can't you just image what great Christmas presents these will make! Two of these are for friends of mine who couldn't make our Bunko game last night.

Now it's time to put away all the fun stuff and start preparing for this weeks up coming class. I have lots and lots of cutting out to do. I hope you all are finding time to do a little of the fun stuff too!

Another little something thrown together real quick. I really wish I had time to do stuff right.

Boy, I sure wish I could find some time to get in my stamp room and just have fun. I have been so busy lately that I can't find time to do the fun stuff. I did go in there for a few minutes this morning while I was waiting for my niece and nephew to arrive so that I could take them to school. I have been wanting to do something with these little dollar notebooks I found at Michael's. I only had about 10 minutes to pull things out and play but this is what I came up with. Maybe this weekend I can find some time to really get in there and play.

October is a busy month for everyone. I know it is for me. We are going to do a little different this month. First of all we are going to do our WOW! Workshop first.

October 11th and 13th will be a WOW! Workshop. We will make a grocery list/note pad for the refridgerator, a photo holder and one other project. This class will be $10. If you would like to attend please let me know no later than October 5th so I may prepare enough supplies for everyone. I will try to have photo's up by this weekend.

For the October 25th and 27th class I thought we would do it a little different. You all requested another stamp a stack to make Christmas cards but I thought instead of making the 30 cards for $35 we would do 24 for $35 but you will leave with your "Big on Christmas" stamp set. We will make 4 of each design. Each card is very simple. This will be a pre paid class and the payment will be due October the 13th. Envelopes will not be provided.



For the very busy months of November and December, we will only have one workshop per month.

I have an exciting new class planned for October. I will post new details and photos later this week. Keep checking back for details.

Also, I went to a Stampin Up retreat over this past weekend. I cannot wait to share what we did with you. I will try to post a few photos later today and will have them out for display at the next class.

Until then.... HAPPY STAMPIN!

As promised. Here is a photo of what we will do for the September WOW! Workshop. We will decorate the Starbuck's Frappacino bottles to fill with candy, Make a candy basket out of a dixie cup, fix a bag of bubbles and make a cute Halloween card. I hope to see you all there!

Here is what we will be doing for our September Card Workshop. I will post the pictures for the WOW! Workshop in the next few days. I am working on several things for the next few months that I am pretty excited about!

Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog! I have created this in hopes to keep you more informed of upcoming classes, specials and such. Please bare with me as I learn the ropes.
