Settling in Sunday!

Yep after a loooooooong drive there and home we are back from Colorado! We had a wonderful time with Tyler and he showed us why he LOVES being there, it's GORGEOUS! I was also able to touch base with a long lost friend and a cousin and his wife whom I haven't seen in a while. All in all it was just a PERFECT way to celebrate Thanksgiving!

Here is something I worked on while driving. I hope you enJOY it as much as I had making it! Just remember to make time to enJOY the season!

Thrilling Tuesday!

Yep as I have been packing my vehicle so we can jump in and leave as soon as DH & DD get home from work & school. (Funny how they both get off at 3:00 PM) DS is sooooooo EXCITED for us to arrive! He's got things all planned out for us, we just need to arrive. lol

I would like to wish you all a HAPPY THANKSGIVING now, as I will most likely not have access to the computer on my travels. Any of you that are traveling please stay safe and have FUN!




Yep another project that I have been working on for the last few days. Made a bunch of them and had FUN doing it!! HO - HO - HO! Santa will be here before we know. Hope you are being good, remember he can see you! This is a skinny tin and it holds six cards w/envelopes. The belly band matches the card. I think that is what made this project so much FUN to make!

Please remember something that you have to be thankful for, after all I think that is truly what Thanksgiving is all about! I am THANKFUL for my WONDERFUL family and friends!!!

Marvelous Monday!

Yep it's nice to start my week out knowing that it's MARVELOUS! It's a short work week for my DH & most of my friends!!! We will be leaving Tuesday to head out and visit our #2 son - Tyler. He moved out to Colorado Springs for a job last August and we have MISSED HIM! I think he's excited for us to come and visit him too. I'm also keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to meet up with a dear friend whom, I have not seen in YEARS while I'm out there.

Today I'm sharing a card idea that I came up with, when my friend Lana shared a card with me. I have used this card idea many times, but the idea I came up with this time just made me Jump Up and Down!! That's how excited I was! If any of you know the Christmas M & M poem. It's always so hard to figure out how to bag some of those yummy candies up without eating a ton of them myself first. So this was the PERFECT adaption to it! I hope you ENJOY it!



Don't worry I will be working on some projects while I travel, so that I will have things to share with you when I return!

Fabulous FRIDAY!!!

It's actually a very GORGEOUS Friday up north today!! I was able to enjoy my "Muffy" walk and even finished up all the outside fall yard work. Trimming back those flowers and shrubs. The stuff you don't really want to do, cause it just reminds you that soon the yard will be covered with that white stuff and the wind will be blowing pretty darn hard.


I've got some goodie packages with Peppermint Pattys to share with you today. My friend Cami - http://cambriaturnbow.blogspot.com taught me oh I don't even remember how long ago
LOL) how to make them. They are a FUN project for any time and any age!

Tuesday!

What a GORGEOUS day up north is was today! The sun was shinning and it was just NICE!!! Got a Muffy walk in and we both enjoyed that with the sun warming us up.

I did finish most of the outside work that I needed to get done before that white stuff comes!

I also found a little bit of time to work on some stamping projects for my booth at Sweet Peas.



"This is what I worked on, it's a "Count Down to Christmas" magnetic board. I am so EXCITED to get them in my little place! I think they will be a hit! I feel badly, as I cased this idea from a blog, but I do not remember whose it was!

Have a WONDERFUL Tuesday!!

Fantastic Friday!

Isn't that the way we all look at Friday's? I hope so, cause the weekend is right around the corner!!

Today I'm sharing a project I made with some little bags that my Sweet friend Lana gave to me, just a bit ago. Not sure when (I know it couldn't have been that long ago!!), but as the hoarder that I am, I put them in a safe place for just that special occasion when I would need them. I guess the time is NOW! I dug into one of my many boxes of treasures and found these and decided that I had the perfect things to use them for!





Yep if any of you have not yet tried the Hershey's KISSES filled with Mint Truffle, you MUST!! They are a PERFECT Christmas treat!! YUMMMMMA I also used one of my favorite stamps from Stampendous - Changito. I LOVE these silly little guys and have not used them for a while, so when I was trying to decide which stamp I MUST use to dress up the bag, he jumped right off my shelf at me. LOL

Have a GORGEOUS day! It's beautiful up north today!!

Where has the time gone again!

Hello!

I'm not sure how it got to be the beginning of November already! Time just seems to go by waaaay too fast and I always feel like I'm waaaaay behind.





This is one of the projects that I have found the time to work on lately. I put together some card packages for my little spot at Sweet Peas. I tried to put a variety of cards in the package, so that it could cover a range of needs.

Things have been very chilly up north, but what else could we expect for November?!

Stay warm and STAMP!
