For my Secret Sister!

A few months ago I joined the Magnolialicious Yahoo Group! For Christmas they do a secret sister exchange....where we get a secret sister to send a lovely package too! Seeing how I got my new Mags from Loreen at Wish On A Scrap....I had to ink one up and make something for my secret sister! I used Tilda with Dalecarlia Coat! I love how this candle turned out! I also used my Martha Stewart Snowflake punches to add a little sparkle to the candle! Tilda was colored using my Copics and after putting her on the candle I added some stickles for accents! Maybe this Magnolia surprise is for you!!!!! I also have a Bella surprise coming up on my blog too! However, I have to wait until it arrives at its destination to show you all, as the special person checks my blog! Hee hee!

I won some blog candy from Susana this past weekend....it's a Karen Lockhart autographed stamp.....I was thrilled to be notified that I won such a GREAT prize!!!! You need to stop by her store: Susana's Custome Art & Card Design! This lady is SUPER talented! She just received some brand new fairy stamps that are a MUST have in my book! I am going to be placing my order soon for some of these whimsical stamps!

Debbie is giving away some great candy! Go and say Hi! I hope that my luck still runs good and I get picked to win this candy....there are Copics involved and this girl LOVES Copics!

Do you love Suger Nellie stamps? Then stop by Gayle and say hi! She is giving away some Sugar Nellie stamps...and also congratulate her because she is now taking over the Sugar Nellie challenge/competitions/tutorial/promotional/inspirational and all that jazz blog!

Stamp Club Fun!

Friday night was my stamp club night! I always look forward to the 2nd friday of the month to get together with my friends! We have such a great time! Although I think I am the slowest one of the group....you can surely tell that I don't have children yet....as I take my time for every step of each project! My demo had so many fun projects this month!

We made a twirly snowflake card! I love how you can wind up the snowflake so when the recipient receives the card and takes it out of the envelope the snowflake spins around and around and around.....!

Then we made this cute 3x3 Thanksgiving Day card! We used the scratch and sniff technique so our pumpkin pie really smells like pumpkin pie! YUM YUM!!!

Then we got to play with the Big Shot and made this cute ornament! I love all the sparkles on it! I think Dazzling Diamonds and I could be GREAT friends....as I always love bling and sparkles!

And finally is a total embossed card from head to toe and inside and out! I really like this stamp set....I might have to break down and buy it! hee hee! And we even got to play with hodge podge hardware! Woo-Hoo!

Stay tuned this week as I have some fun 3D projects that I have been working on to share with all of you! :)

Pictures On The Way!

I got time to play this weekend....and boy do I have some fun things to share with you! However, my hubby took my camera....so tonight when I get home from school I am going to take a bunch of pictures and show you all what I made! So don't forget to stop back later on tonight!

Keeping Me Busy!

So I should be busy creating for my next craft fair coming up in a few weeks....but my hubby has had me working on a different project. We are building a garage on our land...and eventually we will build a house there (when I am done with school and back in the work force)! Our concrete people came this week and formed up the area for the concrete.....but before it can be poured we had to put in the in floor heat pipe stuff. (Can you tell I am not very literate in this building stuff?) Yesterday....when I should have been studying for my Business Stats. exam that was today I was outside (FREEZING...it was only 40 degrees out) helping lay this pipe stuff. My legs hurt so bad today from squatting to cut all the zip tie ends! Now it just needs to stop raining/sleeting/snowing and warm up a tinge so we can get the concrete poured and then it's on to building! YAY!
So this garage will be hubby's winter project! I can't wait to see it all done!

Tomorrow I am hoping to FINALLY get time to play with my Whiff of Joy stamps...and play along with this week's challenge....since school has been consuming my life this past few weeks! I am just itching to craft! :)

I also have some new Magnolias on their way...can't wait to ink them up! Woo-Hoo! Speaking of Magnolias my friend Claudia (who does WONDERFUL work that is simply amazing) has some fun blog candy going on! Please take a moment to look and comment on her fabulous work while you are there!

I also found Ann's blog with some christmas candy!

No New Projects!

Sorry I haven't had any new projects in the last week! I was so busy creating for the craft fair that was last weekend....and while I was set up there I had another vendor come up and ask me to come to her craft fair with my booth the end of November. She loved my stuff and was looking for new vendors to bring to her craft fair.....I was thrilled to be asked.....so I had to sign up! Now I am getting ready for that one!

I had a blast this past weekend at my local craft fair! My mom came and helped me! We actually sold quite a bit (even though there wasn't a lot of people out and about)! I am hoping the next one will bring more customers! Here's a view of my little booth!

This weekend I am hoping to play so I hope to have some projects to share with you soon!
