A baby on tuesday morning

Hello Everyone,

Hope to find you all doing well and keeping warm.

I am trying to keep my brain from going foggy as

all we have had lately is fog and frost. I'm sorry

I'm very late in posting today but some people

in my life still don't understand my work and

how valuable my time is to me. I was sidetracked

today. Sorry.

In my header picture is a couple of tags that I made

for babies first Christmas. I will get to the on tuesday

morning towards the end.

Below is two more tags that I made for babies first

Christmas

I just wished that I would have been able to find blue

gingham ribbon to match the blue stockings for the boys

tags but since I couldn't find any fast I went with the black.

I like how they turned out anyways.So now on to my

tuesday morning. I have been trying to let everyone

know that you can craft on a budget. Below is a stamp

set that I bought at the Tuesday Morning store. A very

cute vintage stamp set and it only cost $2.99.

The next picture is an embellishment by Recollections.

Recollections is an expensive brand but if you

ever go to Michaels always take time to look in their

clearance isle. I paid $2.99 instead of $4.99 for this

gorgeous embellishment.

 

 

I hope that this is helpful to my fellow crafters. Until

my next post Have A Splendid Evening!!!!!!!

What Snowman?

Hello Fellow Bloggers.

Hope to find you all doing well. I am doing well.

As of yet we have had no snow here and so there

is no chance of building a snowman. The only snow

or snowmen that I can work with are on paper.

In my header picture is another tag that I made.

The sentiment reads: "The sun melts a snowman

but a snowman melts the heart."

I embossed the tag with a cuddlebug folder and

used some embossing pearl powders to bring out

the snowflakes. The snowman print actually came

on a box of chocolates. The rubber stamp is from

The Rubber Stamp Connection. Holly leaf ribbon I

bought at Big Lots. I used a Martha Stewart punch

for the to snowflakes and they are punched out

of glitter cardstock.

I want to remind everyone that there is still time

to do some cyber shopping and that many of the

shops on Etsy have cyber monday sales going

on.

Until my next post Have A Splendid Afternoon!!!

 

Do Bears go in the woods?

Hello fellow bloggers.

I hope everyone is doing well. Hope everyone had a

a good time with family and that you were all safe as

you went out to try and score some of those great deals.

I stayed home and worked on some projects. If I would

have had someone that would have gone with me then

I would have been out there too. Since I didn't get out

there I worked on some ornaments like the one you see

in my header picture. To answer my question yes this

bear does go in the woods, the woods of my ornament

....LOL...

Below is my nativity scene ornament. This was created

with the new cartridge that Teresa Collins has out.

"December 25th"  cartridge. I got it a few days before

Thanksgiving and started working with it right away.

I have a few other projects that are in the works with

the new cartridge which you'll get to see at a later date,

but for now there is the ornament below that I made

 with a deer.

I just haven't found the right ribbon for the animal

ornaments yet. Hopefully I will before next weekend

when I have a show in Othello, WA.

Thanksgiving went ok just a few minor problems.

Like the turkey almost not fitting in the oven. My

brother was scolded and told not to let the turkeys

 get so big next time. I forgot the cranberries but we

made it through just fine. So now I'm off to finish

some other projects. Until my next post Have A

Splendid Afternoon!!!!!!!!!

 

Tag your it !

Hello fellow bloggers.

I hope everyone is doing well and still have their hair

intact. I know that this is a time when we all get real

busy cooking and getting ready to spend time with

family. I don't want to seem like a scrooge but this year

I would rather spend it alone. I'll get to the reason why

as I show you the tags that I have made. In my header

picture is my Let it Snow tag. I made this one wishing

that it would snow ten foot deep and keep some of my

family stuck in their house. I don't want to seem like a

scrooge bu tthings still have not slowed down any for me.

My dad and brother had the three turkeys that they had

been raising butchered. The person that did it really

didn't know what he was doing and broke most of the

feathers off and I spent five hours on sunday cleaning

them up better. If things continue to go the way they

have lately we will be celebrating Thanksgiving on

Christmas. So the tag pictured below may have to

until New Years.

My brother decided that he would wait until Christmas to

cook his turkey and well dad decided to freeze his but

the problem there was that dads freezer was so iced up

that I spent all day monday thawing it out. Thinking  that

since I had spent sunday and monday with dad that I

would be able to get my things done at my home today

but that just didn't work out. Some how I have managed

to get this tag made. Most of my projects are getting

made when night is silent which is after eleven at night

 

To bad that I have only been able to find the silence very

late at night. Anyway dad sat around here for about four

hours today. I have to stay close so that he doesn't speak

real loud and wake up my son who works at night. Thinking

that I could get my blog done on the laptop didn't work out

because it has a virus so now I'm down a computer and the

other one I use is in my craft room and is a desk top. What

I really want right now is for everyone to go away and leave

me alone so I can catch up with everything that I am behind

on. Let me hear how you really feel about the holidays.

Tag your it!!!!! Sorry about no tuesday morning find, some

of my pictures are lost on the laptop. Hopefully after

Thanksgiving I will be able to find the time to override

and reboot the the system. So until my next post Have

A Splendid Evening!!!!!!! 

My week in crafts

Hello Everyone,

Hope everyone is doing well and doing alot of crafting.

I started out the week trying to get some crafting done

but didn't get very far because on monday I went with dad

to his doctors appointment. It wouldn't be so bad if the

traveling time didn't take half an hour to get there and

another half hour to get home just to be in the doctors

office for maybe fifteen minutes. On tuesday we had to

to go back to the clinic because they forgot to give dad his

pneumonia vaccination. By the time we get home the day

is to dark to get some really good pictures. Finally today

I was able to get some pictures of my projects.

In my header picture is a card that I made in the cricut

craftroom using one of the free cuts for this week.

By now most of you know that I try and blog ways

to craft using your scraps and repurposing. In the picture

above I used what us crafters call the negative of a cut.

The next picture again I used the negative of the cut

and a different colored cardstock.

What do you think?

Since I didn't get my weekly Tuesday Morning buy

blogged about I decided that I would post it today too.

Pictured below.

These are just a couple of clear stamps that I found at

Tuesday Morning. Both sets cost $ 2.99 each

Hopefully the weather stays nice and I can get a few

more projects pictured. I'm looking into getting a light

box and won't have to worry about the days being bright

enough. So until I get a light box you'll get to see some

not so great pictures.  Have A Splendid Day!!!!!!!

Do I tell ?

Hello everyone,

Hope to find you all doing well. I am working on projects

trying to get ready for a show in December. In my header

picture is something that I have shown you before. The thing

is that I have always felt that it never looked right. What I

did was added the bling and the cardstock flower. Now I

really like how it looks. So before I show you my other

project I am going to tell you a little story that I think

will have you laughing off your seat.
