FWF Friday!

I know. I'm a little early this week, but as luck would have it, the stomach bug has come to visit. I'm trying to catch quick cat naps in between tending to my sick fellas. I hope they are as attentive when it's my turn.

I have been so excited to share this week's project with you! I got the idea from Emilie Ahern

This is for a very special teacher who has taken extra time with the boys. I can't wait for the boys to give it to her!

And last, but certainly not least is a layout I did. I am WAY behind on Christmas layouts!

Don't forget to look on every blog today for the blinkie.;)

(a name will be drawn tomorrow and they will win 25 random stamps from Unity!!)

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Christmas With Flair, Part Duex!

First off you have to check out the coffee mugs my boys made for their Grandma's. Aren't they cute!!

We are all getting in the Christmas Spirit. Crafts are flying and glitter is in EVERYTHING!!! LOL! I love it. This weekend we are glittering some snowflake ornaments and I can not WAIT to show you the teacher gifts!!!

Alas, but for now there's only a card.

Oh yeah. Emily, my grainy background is in and I am working on a tutorial for the chocolate. It's going a bit slow because one of the twins got SERIOUSLY sick this week. He has to miss his VERY FIRST basketball game and he is CRUSHED! He should be back in school next week so I should have it up next week. ;)

Thanks for stopping by!

More Christmas Ideas!

I made calendars for Christmas one year and the Grandparents loved them, but it was an overwhelming task for me! Yet, every year they ask, "where's my calendar?" So this year I did calendars just on a smaller scale.

I thought they would fit perfectly beside the computer or on the shelf of a book case. And the best part was they were fun, not stressful!!

I found the frames at Michael's and got the calendars from Designer Digitals. All paper and embellishments were from my stock pile. (A little of everything!)

Happy crafting!

Christmas With Flair!

I am READY for Christmas. Now don't get me wrong, I haven't finished my shopping, I haven't finished my Christmas cards, and I have TONS of baking to do!! But I'm ready for the Spirit to fill me with His joy. To know that through all this madness of life He is still with me and He is the reason for me. (if you can't tell... it's been a long and very hard week for my hunny and me). So making this card put a smile on my face and I hope it does yours too!

Prince Of Peace is absolutely one of my FAVORITE stamps!!!! If the artist is reading this or if you know who drew this one, please let me know! :) This was the first Unity stamp I ever bought. LOVE IT!!!

Next is a creation of mine. Now don't laugh too hard because this was my first run. I will keep practicing until it is perfected! ;)

This is CHOCOLATE!!!!

Isn't it WILD!!! I'm waiting for the arrival of my grainy background stamp. When I get it, I will be making Chocolate bark (Thank you Martha Stewart!) as Christmas gifts! I'm so excited! I will absolutely share the final project, but I thought the practice run came out pretty good... and it's almost gone!!! LOL!

Have a great weekend!!!

Christmas Time!

I LOVE crafting at Christmas time! Every year I do ornaments for all the grandparents. This year our ornaments look like this...

Lots more coming, but for now... sleep.

I'm nursing a cold that is really kicking my butt!
