Happy New Year

Well another year has come and gone, with happiness and sadness and another chance to learn something new in life........So here we are 2010.......wow I remember thinking as a kid how old I would be in 2000 and never thought much past that.......so now 10 years later.........I guess I have made new friends, lost a few old ones , did a few things I never thought I could, and did some I wish I couldn't......LOL My wish for all of you as well as myself is peace of mind and safety for all......I wish for many new opportunities to be what ever you want to be in life and my the Good Lord Bless you in your endeavors to succeed........
Happy New Year All

Let me know what you think

WOW Christmas is just a round the corner, and I still have a lot to do....I have been working on head bands most of the day today, but I haven't had time to take the pictures yet, will try it tomorrow if I get the time.....I think they look festive for the holidays.......

I also made a lot of ear rings for my family as gifts for Christmas, and I have made a lot more I hope to part with in the coming year.......

I made this card awhile back, I really liked laking it, I just cut some fun foam the size I wanted for the packages then heated the foam with my heat gun and pressed the foam into part of a rubber stamp that I like the pattern.....or you can press into any patter like screen, or even crumpled paper..it is fun try it.......Then just add some layering and embellishments and you have a nice card that you made yourself.......I did all the pen work with a fine tip permanent pen marker.....

Well looks like we may get a little snow, not being a snow fan I hope not much as so may have driving to do to finish up there shopping and I like to just stay home and look out the window at it, not get out into it......My grandson wants to make a snow man, so I hope he gets enough to do that.........

Dec. Already

Where did this year go........I kept busy with mom , and making cards, and all the usual things we do........

This time of year is always busy, Have you gotten your Christmas cards done yet?????

I most done but need to do a few more for some special people......This card isn't a Christmas one, but it could be made to be really easy, just stamp a different sentiment or change the colors... It is a basic card with an over lay on the top color with a punch out on the right side . I only tape around the outer edges so you can slide a Tag card with a message inside.This type card would be good for a scrap book page as well to keep your message more personal, the rest of the card is just a few embellishments like ribbon and brads and corner punches, I matched the inside tag to outside of the cards as well....the bee is an Anita stamp that I love cut out and layered with gloss on the wings to make it more shinny.....This card was really fun to make, hope you give it a try......If you need more information just ask and I will gladly supply it

Well this is all for now and I will try to get back in here more now that I see I can do this.....LOL

Have a great Christmas every one
