A Monogrammed Thanksgiving~

Good Evening! I would like to apologize for not posting in a while.. I seem to be going through these little cycles lately but not because I am not keeping busy in the craft room, that's for sure! I have been making lots of special little gifts for my friend at work. She wanted something to have for her family on Thanksgiving and I love, love, love these super easy to make treat holders. I thought it would be nice to personalize them by adding the monogram to the fronts. I saw the little feathers with the gold beads and leaves and thought they would be perfect to stuff inside with the candy and they reminded me of a turkey, so why not.. I used the SU! Autumn Vine DP paper. I have used this paper so much this fall. I love the colors and the patterns. You can find this in the holiday mini... speaking of, if you haven't ordered from that catalog yet, you must take a look. I love it.. the snowflakes are just fantastic. You can attach them to gifts, cards, tags, and I thought they would be perfect on the front of these treat holders for Christmas and tuck a gift card inside, what do you think?? I will post one for a sample for you when I get my Christmas paper in this week. Well, I hope you enjoy the week and we are looking so forward to Thanksgiving. I smell stuffing.. sniff, sniff, sniff! hee hee.. Have a great night and a terrific holiday with your family. I'll be back around soon!

Here is just a couple of them a little bit closer.. these don't stand up very well, so they are a bit harder to get a good pic! Have a great night!

I'm Back... In Time for Halloween!!

~Well, hellooooo everyone! I am finally back in the blogging world girls! Yippee.. Where have I been lately??? Just super busy with the house, work, summer, and now fall, but I haven't stopped my stamping addiction.. Heck, no! I have been doing that as well. In fact, I really was excited to post tonight since I have some new pics to share with you! I have to say, besides Christmas, Halloween is my most favorite holiday. I love the season all together really. I just love the fall colors, the leaves, the pumpkins (the pumpkin pie, yummm-o!) and a great reason to have a themed workshop. I had a halloween workshop with some of my favorite women in the world, and some new ones that joined us too that I just was so excited to have join us! I took some pics of the projects before I packed them up and of the workshop. Unfortunately, my camera did not take many good ones, they were very blurry, maybe I didn't need the flash, so they came out really weird, but here are a couple of the ones that looked okay. It was a great time, my boss Pat (the only guy there) came and stayed the whole time creating with us and sharing time with his wife.. (sweet huh!) Thank you to everyone that attended! I had so much fun with everyone. I am so glad to get back to my blog. I missed this ya know! I have more pics I will post soon of a workshop I did a couple of weeks ago.. Be back soon with those.. have a great evening.

Workshop Treats

~I made a bunch of these little pillow boxes with my Big Shot and the Ghostly Greetings DP to give as a little gift at my workshop. These were so easy to make. They go together so easily and are so dang cute! If you need more information on these or the Big Shot, please let me know! Enjoy~
