Last Few Months of 2013

Hello my followers.

What a crazy last few months of 2013 for me. As many of you

know we moved back to Medford Oregon in April and there

was so much to do to get settled in.  Moving takes a lot of money

and boy did we go through it like crazy. I have been job hunting

but haven't landed anything yet so to do my part and get some 

money coming in I had some very full days crafting and getting 

ready for some craft shows. In My header picture is one of the trees

that I made to sell. 

Below is a partial picture of my set up at one of my shows right

before Thanksgiving.

 

I did very well at this show that I was burning the midnight

oil every night to have enough merchandize for the next show.

We had some real crazy weather here which is not normal and

our temperature was in the teens and under for about a week. We

ended up with frozen pipes. With the mess around here I didn't make

it to the next show. In a way I am glad that I didn't do the show

because as I heard from a fellow crafter that went ahead and did

the show it had a poor turnout because of the weather.

The next picture is the tags I made to price all my merchandize.

My days were full with all the baking that needed to be done,

 all the Tamales to make, gifts to buy, packages to mail thanx to my

Etsy sales. I did make it to my last show that I was booked for. All

in all I did very well at the shows. I am so glad to be back here where

I have all my following.

We spent Christmas with some very dear friends. We rang in the

New Year at home because frankly I was exhausted and just wanted

a quiet and relaxing time. New years day we had dinner with friends.

This new year will bring some changes in my crafting, I won't be making

as many cards but will be working on different projects. I am already

booked for a show in April and four shows in the fall.

I want to take this time to thank my followers and to wish you all a

Happy New Year! Stay safe.

Until my next post which will come more often now Have A Splendid

Day!!!!!!

New Christmas Ornaments

Hello Everyone, 

hope to find you all doing well and staying warm.

I know you must be wondering what happened to me since I hadn't

posted for a while. I have had my days full with all sorts of

projects and life in general. If you didn't know it by now some

of us crafters and designers stay real hush hush about anything

new we are working on especially if we plan to do a few holiday

shows. Don't get me wrong that it bothers me when some one

craft lifts my ideas but I like to be able to show it and try and sell

it so that I can make a good chunk of change before any one else

is making it and trying to sell it. I also have been known to scrap

lift of craft lift some ideas myself every now and then.

So now onto my header picture. This is new ornament that I made

I used my cricut to cut out the Eiffel Tower and I hand wrote Paris

I added pink feathers instead of the fake snow. Put it all together

in a clear ball ornament.

The picture doesn't do it justice. Hope you like it.

I will be at Wilson School this weekend selling my crafts.

Hope to see some of my old friends. A special Thank you to

Yolanda Vanderveen for the push to do the shows again.

Until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!! 

Blue glitter

Good Morning everyone!

So glad to be here today to share another project. Hope to

find you all doing well this Friday. Do you all have something

fun planned for the weekend?  I on the other hand have nothing

fun planned other then getting some things done around the

house and hopefully I can get some crafting done. Well lets

get to my project. I made another purse mini album. This time

I'm not going to go showing you all the pages because it was

basically done like the first one I showed everyone. I did tweak

it a little bit but not enough that it changed it completely.

 

As you see I made it in blue and also made the wallet to go with

it. This project was a special order. I had stopped in my local

scrapbooking store to see if they carried the disc magnets because

on the other purse I had used Velcro to keep the purse and wallet

closed and I was afraid that if it were opened and closed a lot that

the Velcro would pull off the cardstock. I took my mini with me to

make sure that I would get the right size. The gals there loved it  and

one of the gals asked me if I could make her one in blue. She wanted

to give it to her best friend on her birthday. This purse has a magnet

that keeps it closed now instead of velcro.  I like the magnet closure

better.  I hope you like this one too. Now I'm off to get some things

 done so until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!

Cute Witch

Good Morning everyone!

Hope that you are all enjoying hump day. I know that I am enjoying

the day because the weather sure has been nice lately. I also have a

job interview this morning so wish me luck.

I have been having fun just creating. This new creation I know is

a little bright in color but I love how this card turned out. The digi

comes from The Enchanting Art of Heather Valentin. I coloured her

with water color pencils. Below is a close-up of the digi.

Isn't she adorable?

 

 

The pattern paper comes from the Recollections Midnight Magic

stack. This stack was put out in 2011. Like I said before I'm trying

real hard to use up my stash. So far I think I'm doing pretty good

In my upcoming posts you will see some old cardstock stacks.

Hope you like my card. Until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!

Let me share

Good morning everyone.

Hope to find you all doing well and staying warm. Hopefully

you are all taking the time to get out and look at the beautiful

fall colors.

Usually on Tuesdays I show you some thrifty buys I have made.

Today I'm going to share something different. In my header picture

is a scene that is stamped. It is just the start of a beautiful creation. I

found a youtuber that creates some gorgeous scenes using just stamps.

Kevin is the owner of this stamp line and the creator. If you follow

the link below you can watch Kevin at work which is just amazing.

Tuesdays because I have several to share.....LOL..... I just want

to keep things interesting. I hope that you take the time to watch

this video. Thank you for stopping by and until my next post

Have A Spelndid Day!!!!!!
