It looks like one more week.

This weekend my sweet husband decided the little room I had my office/ craft studio in was way too small.  So he took everything out of the dining room and is in the process of moving me completely in there.  I am so happy because the old office doesn't have heat or a/c.  He is such a sweet husband isn't he.  So this week, we are packing up the old room and moving me into the new room. With it being a short week to begin with, I don't expect that I will be able to have a project out this week.  I am so sorry about that.  I will be back the week after and if all goes as planned I will have a new project before the year is out.  If not it will be the New Year. 

Have a very blessed Christmas or holiday.  Have a great new year too.(just in case)

Bitter Sweet Day

Sophie is my last baby.  We are not having anymore babies.  Today Sophie turns a year old.  I am happy that she is getting bigger and growing so much, but at the same time it makes me sad to see the same things.  I got teary making her cake yesterday.  I cried when I put her to bed.  But I will be so happy to see her grow.  Happy birthday to Mommy's little princess.

i haven't been very good.

I am so sorry.  I know I promised a project a week, but I had a workshop and a stamp camp last week.  This week, I have Sophie's first birthday and her party.  I plan on possibly posting a project on Friday.  Sorry.

It is Monday again

I am happy this morning. My family is all back under one roof.  Matthew came home from his dad's yesterday.  I miss him so much when he is gone.  I have a busy week ahead.  I have the community tree lighting ceremony tomorrow night, John has his oral boards at the police department( which we are praying he gets), and a workshop on Thursday evening. I am hoping the workshop does really well, that is Christmas money.  I am also getting ready for a stamp camp on the 12th.  I am also getting ready for Sophie's first birthday. (sniff sniff).  I will be working in my office/craft room later today.  I will hopefully be able to post some projects this week. 

Yesterday at church,  the children hung all the chrismons on the tree.  It was really neat to see the tree all decorated with handmade chrismons.  It really brings the meaning of Christmas into focus.

Have a great day.

Sorry I am late.

I know I promised yesterday, but I got really really busy yesterday.  I cleaned the living room, re-organized the 700+ DVDs so baby girl couldn't pull them out any more, cleaned out an re organized the pantry, cleaned out and re organized 2 cabinets, did 2 loads of laundry, cooked 2 full meals, and put up the Christmas decorations in the living room.  (I still have to do the Dining room decorations)  Like I said I was busy, you would almost think it was spring if I hadn't been putting up Christmas decorations. 

As promised although a day late.



Recipe:
Materials
  • Patterned Pines #116525 ( level 1 hostess set)
  • Sweet Centers stamp set #116521
  • Whisper White cardstock #100730
  • Bashful Blue cardstock #105120
  • Versamark ink #102283
  • Silver Stampin' Emboss powder #109130
  • Bashful Blue 1/4" Grosgrain ribbon #109029
  • Whisper White 1/4" Grosgrain ribbon #109025
  • 1 3/4" Circle Punch #112004
  • Sweet Treat Cups #116802
  • Stampin Dimensionals #104430
How to:
  • Cut the Whisper White cardstock 5 1/2x8 1/2 score at 4 1/4" and 2 1/2x 4, then cut the Bashful Blue cardstock 5 1/4x4 and a 3x3" piece.
  • Next use your Snail to glue the Bashful Blue to the  Whisper White card besure to measure to ensure that the  small piece of Whisper White can easily slide in and out so don't glue where it will be. 
  • Then punch the circle through both of the pieces. 
  • Now punch a circle in the 3x3 piece of bashful blue. 
  • Place the Sweet Treat cup through to the front of the card and place the 3x3 Bashful Blue piece on the backside of the front of the card and glue in place.
  • Next on the rest of your Whisper White CS stamp 2 of the snowflakes from the Patterned Pines set and emboss them, then punch them out using the 1 3/4 cricle punch.
  • After that stamp a snowflake on the center of the 2 1/2x4" inch piece where it can be seen from inside of the cup and then emboss it. 
  • Stamp 3 of the ornament hangers from the Sweet Centers stamp set on Whisper White, then emboss them, and cut them out trimming off the swirl at the top.
  • Place the snowflake circles down and glue them down one with snail adhesive and one with a dimensional
  • After you get the circles all placed then run the Snail on the back of the ribbon and glue it going to the Sweet Treat cup and one of the other circles. 
  • Then using the Stampin Dimensionals glue down all 3 orament toppers to the top of the Sweet Treat cup and the other 2 circles.
  • Finally tie a little simple bow for each ornament  topper out of the Bashful Blue GG ribbon and attach with Mini glue dots.
  • To finsh slide in the 2 1/2x 4" piece snowflake facing out down until just before it covers the hole and fill with the candy of your choice.  Then slide the  card stock the rest of the way down to close the candy in the cup.
  • (optional: attach a ribbon loop at the top of the slider piecewith a staple so people know how to open it to get the candy out.)
