O Christmas Tree...

Since I still haven't had time to create any crafts to share with you, I thought I would share my Christmas decorations! Here is my 2 feet tall, fiber optic Christmas tree! I love it....it fits our super small apartment perfect!

Then I found this super cute poinsettia garland from Joann's and it fits perfect on my window ledge! It just adds that little bit extra, and I love it!!! Today is my last day of studying, and tomorrow is my last day of finals! Woo-Hoo! I so can't wait for the exams to be DONE! Then I can finally get to my stamps, and get all full of ink, glue, and glitter.

More Alerts!

Sorry I haven't posted any new creations lately! I am busy studying my brains out! Finals are Monday and Wednesday for this girl! Eeekkk! Wish me luck...I want to do good....but always get stressed for exams! And it doesn't help having 3 on one day and 2 the next! It's hard enough studying for one exam at a time!

However, I did get a little blog hopping in and I want to let you all know about some yummy candies going on right now:

Karen is giving away some MEGA candy just like me....because it's Christmas time! YAY!

Dawny is celebrating her birthday and giving away some fun stuff! Make sure you swing on over and wish her a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Rica is giving away some awesome Basic Grey candy because she is on their DT! Hop on over and give her a Big Congrats for making the team!

Rosette is giving away some very cute candy!

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend! I am going to get back to studying! Maybe I can squeeze in a little play time tomorrow....I do promise to have some new creations for you the end of this week though....when I am FREE from school! Yippie! :)

Twas the Night Before Christmas....

Twas the night before Christmas,

I'm glued to the tree.

I'm wondering what Santa

brought just for me.

Could it be cardstock

or chipboard or lace?

Or a Cricut, I said,

with a smile on my face.

And that's when I heard him,

"Hi Santa, " I said

"You know....good little girls

Should be in their beds."

"I know I should Santa,

And now I've got caught.

But I was just so excited

To see what you brought."

"Well, let's take a look

In this room where you work.

He shook his head quickly,

And left with a jerk.

I heard him exclaim

As he put it in gear.

"You've got enough crap,

I'll see you next year!"

This is so what my hubby would say to me!!!! Can I really help that I love collecting supplies? Hee hee! I have seen this on a few blogs now, and I just had to share it! It's too cute not to pass on!

Penguins in the House!!!

Penguins Galore!

Aren't these penguins the cutest thing you have ever seen?! I got this stamp from Walmart....you know the clear stamp sets you have hearing about that are only $2.97 right now! I just had to get these because they are so darn adorable! And they fit PERFECT on my square ornaments! I got the idea for these ornaments from Angie.....thanks Angie! I colored the images with my Copics (which you can get from Loreen over at Wish On A Scrap)!Paper used is a mixture....DCWV, Debbie Mumm, and scraps from my stash!
I think the snowflakes were a perfect touch for the back of the ornaments. I used my Martha snowflakes punches....added some glitter to the inside (which you can also get at the Wish Store)....added ribbon from my stash and a jingle bell....and they were complete!

Here's the penguin collection:

Liquid Applique - Day 2

So did you all miss me....seeing how I have been gone for a few days? This week was so busy! Of course there is school.....which is getting VERY crazy with finals approaching VERY FAST! This my last week of regular classes, and the following week is finals....then I am officially on winter break! I am looking so forward to it....so I can finish my Christmas shopping and create some crafts for a whole month and a half that I am off! YAY!

During the beginning of the week my hubby surprised me by saying we were going on a shopping excursion! So this past Wednesday we left for our shopping trip down to Gurnee, Illinois! There is a HUGE outlet mall down there we go shopping to every once in a while (it's about 4 hours away from our house)! We had a great time on our mini vacation! We got back friday afternoon, and yesterday I was gone to a stamp camp (pics will be posted later this week) and running errands with my mom! I am sad b/c I missed the deadline to get my creation in for the WOJ Guest Design Team application for the next two months, but I know there is always next time! :( However, I didn't get a creation made b/c I was busy visiting with my Grandparents yesterday afternoon....and that was definitely worth missing the deadline!

Today I got my Christmas tree up...it's only a 2 feet tall table top fiber optic tree but it works in our small apartment! I got some poinsettia garland from Joanns yesterday for my window ledge so that helps bring the holiday theme into our small space!

NOW....on to business.....

Here is a sneak peek of my Day 2 with my Liquid Applique creations for Wish On A Scrap. Click HERE to head to the Wish blog to see the full creation! If you wish to buy one of these cute creations, please contact me by emailing me. Thanks for stopping by.....and there will be Christmas blog candy available VERY SOON here!
