Christmas Cards

I thought I would post 3 Christmas Cards that I made before I pack up my crafts. We'll be moving within the next two weeks and my crafts will be the first to be packed. I am really excited that I will have a craft room again.

Friday Highlight: Fabulously Artsy -- Hey, Cupcake!

This is really a cute video.(funny) This would make a great gift card holder for anyone who LOVES cupcakes. This Video is by the stamp goddess.

Tyler talking with Grandma

Tyler was so cute when he was talking with me on the phone. Jamie got her camera and put it on youtube so I could see how cute he was. Little man, he is so cute!

Our New Home

OUR NEW HOME
Yep, we are moving, AGAIN! But this is for a good reason. We just bought our new house today! We are staying in Lancaster due to unforeseen circumstances.
Now we will have "our home". I can't wait!
Michelle T. We are going to be neighbors. Right around the corner from you!
I am really excited. I just love this house. I can't wait to move in!

Artist Visitor

It looks like we had an artist visit our home last week. We just discovered her drawings today. Her name is Mia, our beautiful 2 year old granddaughter. she did a great job. But unfortunately they will be washed away. Sorry Mia Ü

Make a Wish

Here is a card I made for my Sweet Daughter in-law Heidi. She turned 27 today.

Happy Birthday Heidi!

Friday Highlight: How to make a ribbon rose

I thought this was pretty cool and really simple. This Video is by Maria's hand made.

Christmas is right around the corner. These would make some really cute gifts. Fast, easy and inexpensive project as well. This video is by wreichert.

Passing on a Tip

Learned this on Yahoo today. I thought I would share this money saving tip....

Disinfecting and Deodorizing Sponges:
Don't throw out the kitchen sponge that smells like last night's salmon. Soak it in water spiked with white vinegar or lemon juice, then heat it on high for 1 minute in the microwave. (Use an oven mitt to remove it.) This will also disinfect any sponges you used to wipe up the juices from a raw chicken.

Wood Frame Christmas Decoration

Her is a decoration I made out of a wood frame. The insert is ceramic. The background is pattern paper. I used Staz on ink for the Merry and Bright stamp.

Getting Anxious

My daughter April and her husband Chris and kids Ezekiel and Mia are coming for a visit. I can't wait for Monday to come.

Update on Tyler

I just wanted to give an update on Tyler. He actually was able to come down from Utah and visit us in California. We had two wonderful weeks together, along with his Mom (my daughter Jamie) and his 4 other siblings. We had a blast! Tyler is so sweet. I got to cuddle with him on the beach. He is having some what of a little problem with his heart rate. A little to fast. Other then that, he is doing pretty good. I think all the prayers that have been given has help.

Making Christmas Decorations

I can't believe it is two months away until Christmas arrives. Hopefully I will be getting all my Christmas decorations from my house in Utah. In the mean time I will be making some to put up just in case. I made a family of snowmen. I got this idea off another website, but I can't remember the site. These are cut from 2x4's. I painted them white and the material for the hat is fleece. I put some bells on the hat.

Friday Highlight: How to make an A2 envelope on a ScorPal

Really easy way to make matching envelopes. If you don't have a score board just use a styles or a bone folder with a ruler or a paper cutter with a score blade. This video is by Crop stop.

Friday Highlight: Bleaching Tutorial

Old technique, but always cool. This video is by Diana Gibbs
