Seasonal Birthday card

This card didn't turn out as great as I visualized it but any card that is handcrafted has to be sent to someone. Lucky me some of my friends eye sight isn't any better than mine!!! :)

First Christmas Item from Lee's goodies!

Lee gave me so many lovely Christmas embellisments that I decided to make my own Christmas tags this year. This is my first one and I think it will look great on a pkg.

Simple but nice

A year or so ago, my daughter loned me her SU stamp set. I have not used it until today because she would like to have it back when I see her tomorrow. Now isn't it a shame I didn't use it earlier. :(

Just enjoying some craft items sent by Lee!

I received a box of goodies from Lee today and just had to try some of them. What a great time I am going to have with all the great items she gave me.


Thanks so much Lee!!!

Sewing for Granddaughter

My daughter called and told me they are coming to Mt. Pleasant for Old Thresher's reunion tomorrow so I had to get busy and sew my DGD a dress. It is all done except the ruffle on bottom so I will do that when she gets here tomorrow. She will make it so much cuter than this picture.

Little gift box Sept 2

Found the directions for this while blog hoping and finally got around to making one. It is made using an Orbit gum container and opening it up and tracing on paper, cutting out, scoring, glueing and decorating. I hope to put a little chocolate treat inside for friends at birthday lunch for this month.

The blog where I found it was going to use it for a giftcard holder and a little tag greeting. This is a view of the inside.

August 31!!!! Where has the Summer gone?

I can't believe that Summer is almost over. It is still very hot and humid here though.
Lately I have not seemed to find time to make any cards so I am going to spend this afternoon and evening doing just that.
This is my first cards and hope to have lots more by end of evening.
