Crafting Getaway

 Whew! What a weekend! I had so much fun hanging out with 3 of my cousins plus ALL the other wonderful women at the Jonah Ministries Crafting Getaway this last weekend. I truly do live for these retreats!

 I made 10 (!) Prayer Journals and 10 (!) Card Organizers! Yep. I do feel like I accomplished something. ;)

 Look at these gorgeous embellishments from CTMH. They are perfect on this journal. And the paper is from a discontinued pack from SU. So rich, right!?

 This one is made with flocked paper also from SU (discontinued) and this stamp is from CTMH and wowzers have I already gotten my money's worth with this little baby! It is the perfect stamp for embossing!

I'll be keeping you posted with more goodies that I made this weekend. Bless you today!

Having Fun!

 Hello Ladies! I have been having so much fun lately! Erik talked me into putting my journals on sale and boy has it paid off! ;) Ben asked me this morning..."Mommy what makes you happy?" and I said "making sales on my Etsy store!" It really does boost my outlook.

 So these are just a couple pictures of projects I've done lately. Lots of Prayer Journals and Card Organizers. I always love to make these. They are just fun and I never know how their gonna turn out until their done. Each one is a surprise. ;) Plus I love using all the Scripture stamps I've collected.

This one is already sold. I have a customer who has been buying a bunch for her friends for Christmas! Isn't that a thoughtful gift.

This week I need to focus on goodies for the kids' classrooms and maybe a family Christmas card?! ;) Nothing like waiting til the last minute. Hope you are having a fun Christmas season, holding your loved ones tight and celebrating Jesus' Birthday!

Christmas hugs from me!

Trick or Treat...

 Treat of course!! ;) I hope you are having a good Halloween. We don't really celebrate Halloween much. But of course having kids in public school you have to at least acknowledge the holiday.  And I AM one of those crafty Mommies that cannot just send candy to school with my kiddos. I have to embellish it! ;)

 These are the treats I made for Carson's 3rd grade class. Kit Kats are his current favorite candy. These two tag dies are the best for making little treats or bookmarks. And you get to use a lot of scraps for the small punched parts.

 I made these little cuties for both Ben's 1st grade class and Dalaina's pre-school. Pencils and a smartie. Cute! I love that my kids love to pass these out and share with their classmates.

 Again, lots of punching and stamping. I used a ton of scraps up on these projects. Love that!

Well, Happy Halloween! Hope you have a great day!
