10 More Weeks Til Christmas!

O' My, can you believe it only 10 more weeks 'til Christmas!

Here is my 3rd posting in my series of "12 Weeks of Christmas!

What cute Gift Tags these will make! And super easy to do!

As you look at the pictures below, you will see that I have been VERY busy, I just never take the time to upload and blog, I will do better I hope!

Here is a cute little project I do for my Hostess'es,

A set of Monogramed Stationary, how many Cards she receives depends on how many attend he WorkShop!

O' I just love this Stamp Set "Friends 24~7"
I had sooooo much fun creating this matching Card & Gift Wrap!

The Birthday Girl likes Brown , so Here ya go Jessica!
I just loved doing this one!

Here is a Card that I created for a precious friend, she is the Secretary for her FRG, and she wanted to have Thank You cards to send for special occasions.

She sent me the emblem for their company, I printed it off did a color match with the Brilliant Blue, incorporated the 4 stars that are in the emblem and Wa~La here ya go Kelly!

A very elegant, yet simple card that I have been Showcasing at my WorkShops! Very easy, yet they look sooooooooo nice when you are finished!

As I said before I just love this stamp set! I designed a simple but elegant card for a Bridal Shower. I was not able to match the birds used in the actual wedding invite, but this is the next best thing. The Brides mother provided me with a swatch of Ribbon and I was able to get an exact color match! Using Chocolate Chip & Tempting Turquoise!

I liked these colors a tad bit more, a little more soft and subtle.

This was a Cute Birthday Invitation that I made for a Surprise Birthday Party last month.

I totally cased this card from one that I received from Convention!

Catching up with the 12 Weeks of Christmas!

Here are the last 2 ideas for the 12 Weeks of Christmas!

The Big On Christmas set of cards, was week #1

I just love these little book marks! So very easy, to do, and you can do so many different styles for Christmas, Birthdays, just any occasion for any reader!

Well, lets see what have I been up to? O' I know......Children, PTA, Stampin', Children, Entertaining Hubby and Children!
Now Ya'll know my life is pretty hectic, but I have been working on some amazing projects!

This week was a very busy week, had my monthly Stamp~a~Stack on Tues, (2 sessions) had 7 ladies at each session, and then took my Stamp~a~Stack on the road.....Last night I traveled to a friends house in Hinesville. She had 12 people there, it was a Blast!! Forgot the camera but we had a GREAT time!

What a Great Weekend we had while on our Stampin' Retreat down in Sea Island, Ga.

We all bring our Stampin' Supplies

trying to keep all of our things in one general area.

We all had such a GREAT TIME!!!!

Bridal Shower Invite

This is a precious card I made for a Bridal Shower for a family member that lives in Houston, Tx. I was thrilled when she sent me a message from FaceBook asking if I could design something for her Step Sister that is getting married in March. She sent me a pic of the party favors and I went from there. I hope she likes it.

Happy September

Well, it is September already and the children are in their 2nd week of school! I have been so crazy busy that I can not see straight...O' how I would like to have just 1 day to get caught up on things!!!!!

Here they are!!!! All 4 ready to go to school with or with out shoes.
Whooooo Hoooooo I am soooo doing the Happy Dance right now!

Hugging Ms. Reid, Ms. Reid has been our Principle since Kinder. and now she is with us in Middle School!

and there they go! I was banned from taking any more pictures of them in their class rooms.

Hunter Spouses Club Fall Kick~Off!

Last Thur. was the Hunter Spouses Club Fall Kick~Off. There were several vendors there and I was able to participate, and I had such a good time!



I made a display board of some of the cards I recieved from Convention.







Here is a view of the whole table, was not able to hang the Stampin' Up Logo sign, on the shutters and I had chairs in front of the table so that the ladies could sit and stamp a book mark!

This is one of the samples I had to show what neat things you can do with simple paper, everyone loved it, I made a Military themed Stationary tote to give away as a door prize, and I forgot to take a picture.

The inside view, the tote holds 4 cards.

This is a little Fill the Keeper Box that I gave as a door prize as well, too cute!

Sweet Frame & Pillow Gift!

I am getting so very excited!!! Can you tell? I am actually posting daily! See ya'll, miracles still do happen!





These are the Pillow Gifts for the Ladies attending our
Sea Island Stampin' Retreat!

When the Ladies go to their rooms, these Pillow Gifts will be laying on their pillows!




I would like to thank Shawn B. from MD for the idea. I loved the swap I had received so much, I modified it just a tad, to make it work for me!





I love this Sweet Frame, When I saw the new Christmas paper in our Holiday Mini, I knew I had to do a project! I know you can not tell, but the damask image is flocked, and it is gorgeous!


Just a simple $1 frame from Michaels, painted white, then i used to Modge Podge to attatch the Paper.
Then just wrap and tie the ribbon! and Wa~La!!!

this is one of the projects that I will demo during our retreat!

Stay tuned, I will have more to post through out the day!

Happy Stampin'

Lots of Projects

These are just a few of the projects I am doing for our Sea Island Retreat this weekend!!!


I just love this little box! It is sooooooooooo cute & easy to do!

I love using the Scallop Die Cut for the Top!







O' I just love It!!!









Thought this was a really cute idea for this plain white lunch bag,
I stamped on the bag, then stamped extra flowers, cut them out and then placed them on top of the flowers that were stamped on the bag.











Christmas is upon us already it seems! So I have started by making some really cute boxes out of Textured Card Stock with coordinating Designer Series Paper!






Tied it with a coordinating ribbon and Wa~La,

I am putting stamp sets in each of the packages shown, for our Sea Island retreat!

We are going to be having a little Chinese gift exchange, and everyone will leave with something very cute to take home and start Stampin' away for the Holidays!

The Sweetest Man

I must say, I am married to the Sweetest Man in the Universe!

Over the last 2 weeks, I have been working on projects in my "Studio" aka "The Garage"! Well you see, we have had the house on the market for the last 9 months, and have had to have everything in perfect condition!

Well needless to say, you can not keep creativity clean & tidy, much less contained!!! So I moved all of my craft supplies out to the Garage, and litterally took over!!!! Poor Stuart, but he has been a very good sport about the whole thing.

So back to my story, over the last 2 weeks, I have been working on numerous projects at one time from sun up to sun down for the most part, and barley doing anything in between! I have even enlisted the help of the children to keep the house clean! (but they have been rewarded nicely)

Did I mention we live in Georgia? Where it is sooooo HOT & HUMID at times you feel you can not breathe!!! So imagine being stuck inside a garage, it was my own personal sauna! As if having my own "Personal Summers" was not bad enough, now I am roasting in the garage!
My dear Hubby, decided to insulate the garage door for me last week, in an effort to keep things a little cooler!
Over this past week, I barley surfaced from that garage. I did tear myself away to go on a very nice and relaxing boating trip! Well Sat. my Wonderful Husband installed an Air Conditioning unit in the garage for me!!!!! He said he couldnt stand to see me smothering in the garage any longer.

So I call my favorite Mommy~in~Law, and tell her that Stuart just gave me the sweetest anniversary present ever! She said "what did you get"? I said an AC unit in the Studio, and she laughed and said O' how romantic!! I said Yes, I know!!

Ok, gotta get back to work, hope my ramblings did not bore you to much!

Time Sure Does Fly

O' my where has the time gone? Summer is coming to an end, and we have not done all that we had planned! We have had a very busy time this summer making memories with Daddy before he Deploys for yet another year.

We have been very Blessed that is for sure, being able to travel and play for most of the summer. Now that it is coming to an end, we will have lots of fun memories to carry us through while Daddy is gone!

Now that the we are preparing for the children to go back to school, things will start getting back to normal around here! Whatever Normal may be, I am not exactly sure, but at least back to a routine!

I have been diligently working on 2 Big Events for this week!

1) The Hunter Spouses Club ~ Fall Kick Off, I am going to be one of the vendors for the Kick Off! So I have been working hard on all the goodies I would like to take!

2) Our 2nd Sea Island Retreat! O' what fun we had the last time we went! I can hardly wait, 15 women Stampin' all weekend!!!! Now that is what I call Fun!!!

I will take pics and post all of the goodies I have been working on over the past few weeks!
