Valentine's Day....




These are the Valentine's Day goody bags I made for my daughter, Chloe's, preschool class. They have crayola markers, crayola crayons, a little notebook, a box of candy hearts, and an Abby Cadaby valentine signed by Chloe.

One more day....


Well all...tomorrow is Christmas Eve. Yay!!!!! The "babies" are 3 and 4 yrs old this Christmas and it is such a fun age. They are so excited. They actually "get it" this year. I asked for help on the Cricut MB on how to create a bow for a present for my father in law. I don't remember who it was, but she gave me a link to a "how to" video on You Tube. Well here is the finished product!

I know these cards are a little off season (lol), but




I didn't get a chance to post them before. I took a dry embossing class at my LSS and made these cards. It was lots of fun!

Here are my first attempts at Christmas cards...


They don't compare to the cards I have seen on the Cricut MB, but I am still learning!

I found a new way to store my wooden stamps...




Well, I needed a good solution to "display" my mounted wooden stamps. Previously they were thrown in a jet max cube drawer. This didn't work to well for me. I didn't know what I had and I never used them, you know the saying..."outta sight, outta mind!"? It's true. I got these little wooden shelves at IKEA. They were in the office dept. I am not sure of the name of them, but if you want to know, I am sure I could do some research and find out. Anyway...they work PERFECT!!!!

This is a wooden swing that I made for someone...







This is a wooden swing I made for a lady that my husband works with. She wanted a swing for when her granddaughter came over!



I have a question for all you stay at home moms...

Does it feel like you can never "get ahead"? I am CONSTANTLY cleaning and doing laundry and yet, I never feel like I can get ahead of things. For instance, I will clean the house until it is all sparkly, then an hour later, it can look like a tornado went through it. Does anyone have any good tips for me? I could sure use them. My house isnt big, but its cozy and I love it. ALL my neighbors are amazing. Sure, we could use a bigger house but, then I think, "More to clean!".
