Another homemade Christmas gift

Placed the dry ingredients into a quart jars in layers.
Placed a ribbon and a die cut circle with embelly that Lee gave me on lid.


Wrote the directions for adding ingredients and baking directions. Hope this will make a quick and easy treat for my friend.

Alicia's Count Down Challenge

Made this card for Alicia's Count Down Challenge at Whimsy Doodle.

Making some gifts for Christmas

Making hot chocolate mix, chex mix and cookies for friends. I am trying to give a few gifts this year that doesn't come from the store. :) Made my sweet granddaughter a memory book of the things we did during my last visit in Olathe. I have made her several and she seems to enjoy looking at them. I want her to remember all the good memories we had together. Think this may be something she will cherish as an adult also.
Have lots to get done before Christmas! Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Wonderful 2011!!

Inside layers of previous album

This is the inner layer of the album.
This is the second layer. Sure hope she likes it!!!


Box album and gift card holder

My best friend's daughter is getting married November 13 and I made this box album for them.
Black, white and red are their colors so I used them.
The album has three layers and will hold 30 pictures. I hope to take some candid shots for her to use. Sometimes I think the pictures that are not posed are the best. Alicia, I used the gift card holder you gave me.....thanks sweety!

An Important Project

A dear friend of mine lost her battle with cancer 12 years ago. She was great at embroidery and her daughter gave me a table cloth that she had and never started. I am not very good at this but my plan is to get this finished before Spring so it can be on my dinning room table by Easter. My library has a Sit and Stitch time twice a month and I plan to go and sew on this so I will get it done. Wish me Luck!!!!!!!

MoJo Monday 157

I found another card kit that someone had sent me in the past and I used the Mojo Monday 157 sketch. It was a fun sketch and the goodies in the kit worked great for it. TFL!

Another kit from Carla

I am so happy to have assembled another card kit that has been here for a long time. It is so much fun to make a card out of some goodies that another has assembled. Carla is great at making card kits! This one was really fun.

A card kit from Carla
