12 Days of Christmas swap Day 2: Time to Organize

For Day 2 I altered a box and made some organza flowers. Thank you Crystal for getting me into making these flowers they were fun to make!


From Cindy I got two Iris photo containers, these have so many uses besides using them for photos!

12 Days of Christmas swap Day 1: Distress

For Day 1 of the swap I made my partner Cindy a lazy Susan type pic holder. I painted it and inked the edges. Then I glued on some of my vintage looking buttons and added a string of pearls. I hope she liked it!





 Cindy sent me TH Distress Stain, I love this stuff!!

Thanksgiving Cards

These are the Thanksgiving day cards that I came up with for my son to give the local nursing home. I used the Close to My Heart stamp set Natures Vein to create the background, I love this set. Then I printed out the saying using the computer, this design came to me as a last minute idea and it worked out beautifully.

Our first snow of the season

It snowed so much that you could barely see these two when they were playing in it and then they pouted like little kids when I made them come in. They are such cuties!!
