Happy Birthday Lauren(a day late sorry)

Emily picked out this paper from CraftFancy.  I just assisted in putting it together for her into a giant card.  Well it's giant the bottom piece is 12x12 then we added the hat on top.  Then I made a gift card holder that coordinated.    Emily loves Lauren so much she has been a blessing to our family making school a muc more enjoyable place.  Em was so excited she got her room all cleaned up and they could hang out in there and work yesterday!   It was a nice way to enjoy our last day of school! 

Heart & Home Mini Album Class

Another Card Set

Real quick, I'm so behind in picture sharing.  These are the note cards I made for Emily's teacher for Teacher Appreciation.  She's a huge Cubs fan and it was fun to do these!  Again playing with my cricut and my trusty old coluzzle!

Teacher Thanks!

This is a card set I made for Abbi's Teacher for Teacher Appreciation.  Below is the Thank You Card for all of the Teachers Gifts.

I'm trying ot use my Cricut more I still have to get used to the sizes of things!

Happy Chinese New Year/ Happy Valentines Day Etc. Etc.

What a Wonderful day!  The kids had a great time I think?  Em is off at a friends for he night and Abbi is on her way home from a friends. Not to metion all of the candy, toys and erasers they got!  So fun!

I have a new Air Compressor/airbrush system, a new bottle of wine and Dave and I are going to watch a movie.  Plus I got Milano cookies as well.  What more could a girl ask for?  I'm going to airbrush everything in site!  HA  Maybe I shouldn't drink all of the wine?

Hope Everyone had a Wonderful Valentines and a Happy Chinese New Year!

Love is in the Air

It's finally bright and sunny here!  Thank  goodness.  The kids are looking forward to their parties this Friday and I am looking forward to a quiet weekend of catching up more. 

 I began cleaning my scrap room yesterday  and actually getting rid of some trays and such that were no longer helping me organize but just clutter the room it's not too bad.  I still have to work on the cabinets and unmounting some stamps but it's looking positive.  Maybe I'll get my dining room back?

So all I have today is the quick banner I made for the store event a couple of weeks ago.  It's cute but missing something?  I need to fix it but I'm a little at a loss I think I'm Valentined out?  Is that possible?

Supplies, Cardstock Bazzill, Glitter Paper American Crafts, Dies Spellbinders, Punches Marvy, Letters were cut with Cricut Storybook Font and lastly ribbon is American Crafts with teeny tiny hearts!

The Snow is Coming The Snow is Coming..........

Supplies Cardstock, Ribbon & Patterned Paper American Crafts, Cricut - Lyrical Letters & Celebrations

So they've been predicting all day we were going to get snow tonight.  I didn't know this when I got stopped by the caravan of CAT tractors pulling into the municipal drive over here this morning, but I coulda guessed it.  So we started at 1-2" and now we're up to 7-12" it's progressively getting larger as time goes by and the snow isn't even supposed to start until midnight.  I'm skeptical but then that's just growing up in Chicagoland for ya.  If the phone wakes me up cancelling school tomorrow I'll freak.  I have 2 classes to teach tomorrow and my Ribbon one is chock full of people.

So the above card is one from my Ribbon Class tomorrow night.  There are still a few spots left.  We are using ribbon in non-traditional ways.  Come on you know you have a HUGEUNGO(love love this word it describes my stash perfectly) ever growing stash of ribbon and you know you need some new ways to use it!  You gotta take this class!  At least you can go home with 4 new ways to use ribbon!

So now I'm off to chant Snow Snow Go Away come again some other day.  Well can it be a day of my choosing?  Have a good one!

Ahhhh Winter Is Still Here

New Store Banner made with Spellbinders Nesties, AC Glitter Paper, BoBunny Double Dots, Storybook Cricut Cartridge and Maya Rd. Ribbon.

So today begins a big crazy clearance sale at the store.  I'm off to fill up the classroom with clearance merchandise to ready it for the arrival of customer!  Woo Hoo!  Then it's back home to start taking down Christmas stuff.  Abbi doesn't understand why it's still Winter now that the Holiday's are over.  Oh poor Chicago baby doesn't understand how long winter actually is here!  EEEK!   

Anyhoo after all of that I will continue to work on Valentines for the shop and some swap items for this month.  Gotta figure out my ATC swap for this month I have a couple ideas I just have to try them out for actual doability!  Hmmm is that a word?  I have grand ideas usually they are not actually possible!  HA

Hope your enjoying your weekend!

Happy Holidays

Banner uses Spellbinder Nestabilities, Bazzill, Cricut(for Letters and Ribbon. 

Hope everyone had is having an AWESOME HOLIDAY!  We had a wonderful trip to Nashville to visit my family!  Our Christmas with them was so amazing!  Everyone had a great time.  We got back just in time for Christmas Eve.  Without much fuss just a minor delay and a blow out on the highway coming home but by midnight we were tucked in our own beds!  All is well except the tire of course.  Christmas Eve was spent with Dave's family having fun and laughing.  Yesterday we had a great day just the four of us lounging about and enjoying all the presents Santa brought us.  I for one got a new saucepan which I made Crab and Shrimp Bisque in.  Everyone loved it totally YUM-O-Licious with fresh baked bread!  And I didn't ruin Dave's Crab meat by putting it in Mac & Cheese like I planned. 

Today we are being snowed in.  So far about 4" of the white fluffy(at least it's not ice)stuff!  Everyone is outside digging out as I type!  Gotta go take photos!  It's all good we made cookies and played more games on the Wii.  We're about to get crafty with some new toys we all got!   WOO HOO! 

Hope everyone stays warm and safe this Holiday Season!

Been Snowing All Day!

It has totally been snowing all day.  Although there seems to be less on the ground now than this morning.  I think it's melting and snowing at the same time?  Is that possible? It is supposed to snow all night long.   Dianne mentioned we may have to have our furry friends pull us to work on sleds tomorrow!  HA

So things are good here.  My class last night was great today was more cleaning and organizing.  Tonight is my last dance class for the year.  Sad but it's good it gets harder around the holidays.  I've added more stuff to the Etsy store.  I have tons more to add this week to mine and Horsefeathersupply.  I've been putting off editing photos until I can wait no longer.  EEEK 

The pic is my 2010 photo Calendar I'll be teaching this class at the store.  Love how it turned out.  and the colors!

Have a great day!
