Another purple birthday

 

Another purple birthday for one of my favorite purple-love'n  friends.  Lots of bling and coordinating goodies.

 Good bye to October.  This year is just flying by.  I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving!  Have a great week and I'll talk to you again soon.

Christmas mini's

Mini tags that is.  These are little 2x2 gift cards with coordinating envelopes.  I'm in a little bit of a retro color kick.  There's lots of glitter and bling as well.  I had some left over mini flower picks so I pull them apart and used bits and pieces as embellishments.

The stamp set is from Close to My Heart.  I used Tulip red and an old robin egg blue stamp pad and papers.  I'm trying to be frugal and use up some of my older scraps.  I'm also trying to get a jump on the season.  So far this is all I've accomplished... Some jump right?  Oh well, I'll keep trying.
Have a great week and I'll talk to you again soon.

stitching up some cards

 I stitched up a set of cards and used Close to My Heart's TLC sentiments set.  Four cards with coordinating envelopes.  Even though I used my sewing machine they took a long time to put together.  But so worth the outcome.

Have a great week, I'll talk to you again soon.

October crafting

Hi Everyone,

Here are a couple of things I've been working on this month. I made several of these cute little favor boxes for my sister-in-law's wedding shower.

Then I got into a box frame of mind:)  These are some spooky treat boxes I made in honor of this month's activities.

I've been working on things for a craft fair later this month so hopefully I can get those photographed soon.
I hope your October is going well, I'll talk to you again soon.

What do you mean it's September!!!

Oh My, where did August go?  I have been busily crafting but have had no time to photograph before things go out the door.  I did get to snap a few quick pics of some of my apron creations.  I have also been doing some stitching, and some beading and some stamping.  Hopefully I can get some of those things photographed this weekend.  Here are some of the aprons, in no particular order.

These were made for the sweet girls who served at my niece's wedding reception this weekend, done in her wedding colors (of course)

A little frilly number modeled by a friend.

Chocolate hearts and polka dot ribbon, what's not to love?  Another kind friend modeled it for me.
There are more but blogger is being difficult with picture uploads tonight so that's all for now maybe more later.  Have a great weekend and I'll talk to you again soon.

New School Year New Staff

It's time to head back to school and once again we are adding new staff members.  I put together some goody baskets filled with a few classroom essentials and then made welcome tags for each one.  Sigh, the summer went so fast this time.  Talk to you again soon!

Think Pink

I made a few goodies to give away at an event.  The color scheme was hot pink and black (My kind of combo!).  First I made a set of cards.  I used CTMH watermelon which is being discontinued.  If you just love this color head over to my CTMH site and place an order before it's all gone!

Then I altered a clipboard, photo clip and pen.

Added a cute little box of candy (of course).

Put it all in a sweet little basket.

Then wrapped it up and tied it with a bow.  I just love putting together stuff like this.  It makes me smile.  Have a great weekend and I'll talk to you again soon.
