Today I am going to my Dad's to spend some time with him, so my dear sis can go to church. It will be good to see him again as it has been a couple of weeks since I last saw him.
This morning as I sit at my computer, I am feeling very thankful for my Dad. I am very lucky to have had a man with a great sense of humor. I can remember all the fun times we used to have as a kid growing up. Some of them was hilarious! I won't bore you with the details, you will have to trust me on this. LOL.
Dad, everytime I think of you, I thank Jesus. You have helped mold me into the person I am today. Love you Dad.
May your dad be blessed.

New cards
I have made some cards from Close To My Heart's Veranda paper package. Love the papers! Using Close To My Heart Cards and Envelopes, I can make more than 50 cards. Depending on how I cut the papers I could make up to 130 or more cards per paper pack! Now that is a good thing. LOL. I really like to make the most out of my money.
With these cards I cut the paper at 5 1/4" by 4" and got 6 fronts out of one 12" by 12" sheet of Background and Texture paper. I liked the pattern of the paper so I stamped my greetings, added some diecuts (using Spellbinders dies), or adding the new Just Blooms Paper Flowers Spring Blossom ($7.95 for 105 flowers, and butterflies). Of course I had to add some bling with my Crystal Stickles (love my bling).
These are simple but nice looking.
I plan on making more to give away for goodie bags at the crops I attend.
Thank you for stopping by my little corner of the blogosphere.

Happy New Year!
Here it is 10 days into the new year and this is my first post! I have been busy designing new workshops and putting together new card kits for my classes. Thought I had better take some time to say hi here.
I hope everyone had a safe and fun-filled Christmas and ringing in the new year. I was the second one in my household to poop out and go to bed. LOL. Destiny fell asleep before she could see the new year in too, and Les actually fell asleep before the the clock struck midnight. What an exciting bunch we are here. LOl.
I have some new things I need to take pictures of to show you. Close to My Heart has come out with some pretty papers this time and I want to take photos when it is daylight out of the layouts, cards and other items I have created with them.
Have a great new year and may all your days be blessed.

New Year's resolutions (or accomplishments)
Today is New Year's eve! I have been thinking of what I wanted to accomplish this next year. While this list could be never ending, I will start with these few desires:
To eat and be generally healthier. Hopefully that will include exercising (when my heel, heals) as well as getting outside more with the girls.
To de-clutter my home (hubby will be very happy with this) and get rid of things I haven't used or may never use (again hubby will be very happy).
To organize my craft supplies (sewing and paper crafting).
To reach more women with my scrapbooking business. I want to have everyone I teach feel better about themselves, while realizing they too, can do more than they expected (just as Jesus is teaching me, I can do more WITH Him than without Him!)
To start my (sewing or paper crafting) gifts lots earlier than this past year! I think the goal should be at least once a month.
While these seem like a few, it could take me all year to accomplish.
What are your goals?
What ever they be, may you be a blessing to others.

Gifts made with Love
Looks like I am not the only one that likes to make gifts. This is what my sister gave me for Christmas. I remember her making this at a crop we went to in Rockland in November. I thought the black and white combo was striking! Little did I realize I would be the recipient! Lol.
Here is the whole shabang she included into the stationary box. You can click onto the pics for a better view. I have tags, 3x3 gift tags and 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" cards with envelopes as well. Also a place to put all my addresses, and stamps! What a lot of goodies packed into a small package!
Another view of all the goodies!
Here it is when you first take off the top!
Here it is all boxed up! What a beauty!
Thank you dear sis, I LOVE it!
May all of your days be blessed and all of your gifts, if not homemade, given with love.

Christmas Morning
Santa left the girls with great goodies! They each got board games (age appropriate), card games and cd players with a cd each.
They had several games of Chutes and Ladders, Connect 4 and listened to their new cd's until the family arrived for Christmas dinner.
We had a good time opening up the gifts this morning. Santa chose not to wrap the gifts he gave this year. So the clean up was minimal. Smart Santa!
May everyday be filled with joy and happiness.

Reveal day
Remember this image I was teasing you all a few days ago?
Well here is my reveal. I made this for my sister for Christmas. She has a passion for lighthouses (as do I). When I saw this panel at Walmart some time ago, I immediately thought of her.
Since I had the time when Emmy was recovering from the flu (and later pnewmonia), I thought why not check out my stash of fabric for Christmas gifts?
I made the wall hanging first then had some panels of matching fabric (probably for pillows)and decided to make her a tote bag as well.
This shows how large the tote bag turned out to be! Wow! She should be able to put quite a bit of stuff in there! LOL.
I have my two girls showing off the bag here. They were more than happy to model for me.
Here is a pic of the wallhanging hanging on my wall. The tote bag is in the chair beneath it.
Not sure if she will like it. I hope so.
Merry Christmas everyone.
May your Christmas be merry and bright.
