Holy cow...Oct

I just realized how long it has been between posts. And you wonder what have I been up to. I have been knitting mini socks. Love them and they knit up fast. I am also test knitting which is really cool. Let me share some pictures of some of the socks.
This is now a pattern to be bought through ravelry. Meagheen Ryan is the pattern maker.

I have also signed up for the sock mini wars which will start soon.

And I am also working on halloween stuff for the teachers. I will share those projects as they are completed. Hopefully I will be posting more frequently.

What have you been up to?

I can't believe that it is already the beginning of March. I watched and enjoyed the olympics so much this year. Not sure why? During the olympics I had joined the ravelry olympics. I had signed up to complete three projects. Did I finish my projects? I certainly did and I even amazed myself. I finished a baby sweater, a pair of olympic mittens and baby booties(moccasins). I proved to myself that I can accomplish what I want to do.

I am also doing the Club Scrap PSL(Pro Scrapbooking League). Every week there is a new challenge and you have to do layouts. I am amazed again at how many layouts that I have completed.

So, what have you been up to?

Happy day after Valentine's day!

So with all of the snow that we have had in the past week we had to improvise and make things for teachers and our bus driver. So, here is what I made for the teachers.

And then for the boys bus driver I made the birdhouse from Magnolia Ink magazine. I think that it came out very cute!!!

This is the front of the birdhouse. I cut out hearts and then pasted them together to make them look like flowers.

And this is the side of the house with the magnolia devil stamp. Thanks for looking and I hope that everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day.

Paper romance is looking for a DT

Amy is looking for a design team at paper romance. http://scrapbookingobsession.blogspot.com/2010/02/some-big-happenings-here-in-february.html
Her link is on the sidebar. I am submitting three cards and here they are:


This is a windshield wiper card. Just made. I had a good time making it. Got to use my copic markers, flower soft, and mft stamps.


This was made for a secret sister. And has drawers that can be pulled out.


this was also made for a different secret sister. It is a pouch to hold stamped images.
Thanks for looking! Pick me, pick me! LOL

happy tuesday

Busy, busy, busy. Laundry, birthday shopping, cardmaking....what? Cardmaking! Yes, I got my cards for the ladies finished today for the year. And I made two cards for the MFT design team challenge. The challenge was to think spring! So, here are my cards.


And here is the second one. They are both windshield wiper cards and open up. Thanks for looking.

Feb. 1st

Hello everyone! I can't believe that a month has flown by already. Yikes. And what have I posted...nada, zilch, nothing. Wooo is me. LOL I have been motivated. I joined Club Scrap PSL so I will be scrapping because I want my team to win. Go team!!!! I actually sat down today and scrapped 4 kits already. I have two more to go. (My goal for the day.) Then just need to add picutres and viola! I might actually have something picture wise to post soon. Take care everyone and stay warm.

Happy New Year

I can't believe that a new year has started. Have I made my new year resolutions? Oh heck no. LOL I want to scrapbook more pages, make more cards, and be the uber craft queen. LOL Those are my goals so we will see what happens. (Not that I have a stack and a half of pictures to go through. And I just ordered more. Hee Hee) So, hopefully I will be able to post lots and lots of pictures this year.

Ho Ho Ho...oh no!

Where oh where did November go? I know that we were really busy with flag football and deck hockey. But time sure did fly. I can't believe that Dec is starting tomorrow. And then in 24 days...Christmas! Oh my god. I do have to say though we are ahead of ourselves we actually bought our tree. What is wrong with that picture? LOL We are almost a month ahead of ourselves. Last year we waited until the 23rd.

I did want to let everyone know that Jacque has blog candy on her blog. So go ahead and visit. here is her site: http://jacquesmagnolias.blogspot.com And I have to say that it is wonderful candy. So, go and visit and see her wonderful work and creativity.

What's next?

I wasn't sure how difficult it would be to make curtains. Well I made two pair of curtains for Andrew's bedroom. Trying to get his bedroom to look a little more older and not so babyish. It definitely makes the room look different. I will get pictures and post them online.

Final season game of flag football and we are in first place. Congratulations Scorpions! Playoffs next week. Scorpions are going to the super bowl!!!

Sharing

I did send a secret sister package out.(Okay about a month ago.) I did want to share one of the items that I made. Enjoy!

And here is a close up of the lid:

Again time flying by

Where oh where does the time go? I haven't had time to craft and I haven't had time to stamp! Ugh. But you should visit Jacques's blog because she has some awesome blog candy up for give away. Take a peek at all of the goodies that she has: jacquesmagnolias_blogspot_com

It's a conspiracy!!

I had on my craft table 2...yes 2 almost finished mini accordian file folders for the magnolicious highlites challenge. So, the cat likes to sit on the table and pushes things off of the table. And the puppy likes to chew things. So, I come home from work and find little bits and pieces of chewed accordian file all over the floor. Is that a conspiracy or what? I'm not to finish this project...hmmm...we shall see who prevails...me or the critters. Who do you think will win?

Yikes...where does the time go...

I promise to try and blog a little more frequently. Hopefully it will happen. Things have calmed down here. The boys are back at school. Yeah! And Scott is back to work...light duty but still back to work. Thank goodness.

I have been busy making purses. Going to try to get a little more cardmaking and scrapbooking done. LOL I have pictures growing and growing...well I"m sure that you get the picture.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Tues.

Hello!

Where does the time fly? My oh my! I have my creative mojo back. Yippee! I did a challenge from magnolicious high lites. We were suppose to make a post it holder. And I did it just in time! Whoosh. Enjoy and let me know what you think.


The holder and post it together.



The post it holder by itself.


The outside of the box by itself.


The kids finished school today. So, they will be off until Sept. 3rd. Yikes!

Sketch challenges

I also did a couple of magnolia sketch challenges:

This is the sketch for May at Magnolia.


And this card is from the Just magnolia challenge blog week 3 sketch. Thanks for the wonderful sketches.

Happy Belated Mother's day

I wanted to wish everyone a very happy belated mother's day.

And to let everyone know the creative funk is OVER! I quess I do better under pressure because when I had to make mother's day cards...Bada Bing! And I also made some purses. So, here are pictures:

Yeah warm monday

I finally downloaded my card from my camera to the computer. Ugh. So, I can share with you the puppies pictures and some easter goodies that I made. Hope that you enjoy!

As you can see it is magnolia in her bunny outfit. cut her out, paper pieced her outfit on. Put her on little lanterns(found at target) and put a candle on the inside. viola!

Blog candy at Debbie's

Debbie is having fantastic blog candy. So, go and visit her blog and enter a comment to win. Hurry though it ends April 30th. Here is her blog:

Creativity dead zone

I have hit a wall...figurativitely. I have had no creative gumption in quite awhile. I have magnolias sitting on my craft table wanting to come out and play and I just don't know what to do with them. I have copic markers wanting to color. I have plenty of other stamps that want to be inked and I have no gumption. Hopefully this will pass quickly because I have a line of cards that need to be made.

Onto other news...the blog candy has been sent out to Marie. So, she should be getting it soon.

And about a month ago we adopted a new puppy. She is norwegian elk hound mix. And she is just about as cute as can be. She was spayed last week and is doing very well. My dh says that she is "spoiled" and a "diva." I told him that she can't be a true diva unless she has bling on her collar, which at this time she doesn't. And she isn't truly spoiled unless she starts getting her own happy meal when we go through the drive thru at a fast food restaurant. Yes, she does go in the car with us and she does very well. She is all black except for a white spot on her chest and a couple of white spots on her paws. Pictures will follow soon.

enough of my ramblings I hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend. And if anyone is looking for me look on facebook.

Happy easter and we have a winner

I hope that everyone had a very happy easter. Ours was very nice. I got to see my parents and my husbands mom, sister, and brother. We ate to much and got to spend a very nice day together. The kids of course made out like "bandits". LOL

And now to announce a blog candy winner. Congratulations go out to Marie Donnelly.
Marie if you will email me with your snail mail address I will get out the candy to you. Thank you for all that participated. My mom brought some of the cards that she received from you and they are beautiful. and it definitely has lifted her spirits.
