Big Weekend!!!

This weekend is the Douglas County Fairground Christmas Fair, Fri. - Sun. We have participated for the past 6 or 7 years except for last year. We really did think the house would be sold by now, Nooooooooo.

Anyway, we are doing it again and I have been going through things and repurposing and decorating, and inventing.

I bought some pretty tea cups at an auction and I added a chocolate scented candle that looks like truffles in a chocolate cup, some Lindor Truffles, & a tea bag. I wrapped them up, added a bow and VOILA!

I actually forgot to put the tea bag inside the cup before I wrapped them. So I made a card holder from the Paisley Cricut cartridge & added a peppermint & snowflake cut out from Very Merry Tags Cricut cartridge.

I will take more photos as we finish setting out everything. Today we put up the booth. I made another banner sign using Storybook lettering. Turned out very cute!

Finally today, there is a rumor about another Blog Hop soon. Stay tuned for deets.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'll say it again...Happy Thanksgiving to All!

Today is My Birthday!

Yep, it's my day all day, in fact I usually milk it for at least a couple weeks if not a month. Whoo Hoo for me!

BTW - that's Kilo saying "Happy Birthday Mommy".

Best Time of Year

We have one craft show under our belt and another 3 day Christmas fair in 3 weeks! The photo is of our booth. I loved making our sign with the Cricut. The letters are from the Storybook cartridge. I used Doodlecharms for the border at the top for the oak leaves I cut on 3 different colors.

I am doing a Christmas banner for the next fair. Will post as soon as it is finished.

Happy Halloween

I just had a Stampin Up Workshop with Krista and not only did she do a project, but so did I. I love the candy cups from Stampin Up and incorporated it into the card. Cute huh?

The Cricut pumpkin is from Happy Hauntings. It is the pumpkin @ 4". Using a 1 3/4" Stampin Up circle punch perfectly made the hole for the cup to go through.

I have more cards from all my classes this month (October) I will post throughout the week. Next I have to design cards for all my December classes.

Blog Candy Anyone?

OK, even though I am not including any photos of projects this time around, it is not because I haven't been creative. See, I am trying to get ahead of my classes for the next two months because I have two, count 'em two, craft fairs and 9 classes in Oct. - Dec. Hopefully, yet no stress to think about there, the house sells. Whew!

I am also going through - AGAIN! - all my craft supplies to sell or give away. I am making a little box for Blog Candy if I get 150 followers. I have gone down a few in the past few month, but I only need 13 so if you are a follower and know someone get them onboard.

Happy World Card Making Day

Here's a couple for you!!!
