The Mess

The Mess and the Mess Makers
This is what the kitchen looked like last weekend.. Now the cabinets are still not done well the doors.. But everything is in it's place.. This weekend the floor is getting done..

thought I would show you the mess makers.. Craig and Ben have been working so hard every weekend to get the kitchen done before Christmas..

Happy First Day of December

Hard to believe how fast the year has gone by.. I got my xmas cards done.. Haven't had time to craft since we have been redoing the kitchen.. I got some new stamps coming and hope to ink them up and have a card posted on here soon..

Happy Day

Sorry it has been awhile.. I haven't done much crafting.. Kids are out of school out and I have been really busy with that.. Hubby doesn't feel good so this weekend we did nothing..

I did go and see the twilight movie which I enjoyed with a good friend.. I hope they make the rest of the movies soon.. The place they shot the movie was just wonderful I love seeing all the scenery.

I got invited out to lunch today by another good friend but can't.. Hubby has a doctor's appt. and I have 8 kids here today.. Tommorrow I only have 4 kids so that will be a nice change.. Then off for the rest of the week..

No Stamp Card Swap

I signed up for a no stamp card swap.. So I figure it would be fun to play with my Silhouette machine.. So I made this let it snow card.. then embossed the letters with my cuttlebug..I added glitter glue to the some of the raised snowflakes I added the little snowflake.brad to add some charm.. And found a blue snowflake paper to the inside..

I also wanted to send a long a die cut I made. To be used for another card or whatever..

thanks for looking..

Snow Charlie

Snow Charlie is a new set I got from Clear Dollar Stamps.. I aslo used majestic moutnian from them as well for the background..

Ok got a bit crazy with the glitter.. I know.. Supose to say Be Merry on the bottom of Charlie.. The great thing about handmade cards is there is no mess up.. I just going to stamp a new Be Merry and put it over the top of the other one..

I only had time to do this simple card yesterday.. Today I hope to get a few more done with the new stamps I got from Walmart.. I love the cute polar bear in that set.

Another Christmas card

What more can one ask for but Peace? Not much going on with this card just added a little glitter glue to it..

I wanted to make more but wasn't feeling it last night.. Had a headache and still needed to fill in my ballot.. So I quit before I could get too much of a mess going.. Maybe tonight I will be able to get a few more done..

Christmas time is coming HH Blog Challenge

Wow hard to believe that it's already Nov 3rd.. I got 15 cards done on Sunday.. I think 10 more should do it.. Then to start working on my newsletter.. That is the hard part.. It always souns so boring..

This is my who needs snow Christmas cards.. I love this set.. Some of us just don't get to have a white christmas.. The set is from Darice's This week's challenge is to create a holiday card using non-traditional colours!! Check out High Hopes Blog here

I used a graphic from PcCrafter for this card. I couldn't decide what to do with the bottom but I think the snowflakes from the Snowflake spot set from SU looks really cute..

Xmas Cards

Well I got to make a few cards on Saturday.. It was so nice to be able to sit and craft and get something done without having to pack and unpack things and tote them here and there.. I love my new craft room.

Fall is in the Air!

I got to play today.. It was great working in the new Craft room and being able to find my things.. Wow..

So over at Cards Made By Hand msn group there was a contest for a Fall themed card..

So this is what I came up with..


I really like the way that Charlie Horse came out.. Now the other card needs some help.. I think it's the Pink.. I am not fond of Pink so that just could be it.. Not really sure what is going on there..

Anyway hope you enjoy them..

Cards from Friends

I got wonderful Mail today from My friends Bobbi and Carrie..

More Pics of my craft room

My Craft Room Is Done!!!

Hubby totally surprised me with a new custom laptop. He ordered cuz he said it matched the walls.. Too cute.. Well I got most of my stuff moved in. I love being able to find things and not dig through boxes.. So I am jazzed!!

So I have a bit more work to do on it.. Hard trying to get everything so oragnize. The other side of the room is going to be a closet with a nice cabinet for sweaterers and shoes and stuff like that..

I think Hubby did an awesome job on it.. I waited so long for it and wow it was so worth it.. That is why is said he got me the laptop.. Cuz I had to wait over 2 yrs for my own spot..
