Snowmen Are Coming!!!!!


These are the snowmen that are made from wooden Ice cream spoons. I am doing 30 of them. These are just 4 of the 30 that I am showing you. The hats I am doing sewing by hand. Then i have to cut them tastles with scissors and tie it off. The eyes and buttons are made with a permenent marker. I am going to be making these into ornaments and pins this year and give these away at bingo that my hubby and me do and to my nieces and nephews. So I believe that might be enough I hope. :)

Splitcoaststamper card challenge-Lizzie Anne


I made this card for the challenge on splitcoaststampers for the lizzie anne. Now since I do not have any lizzie anne stamp i used my santa collage stamp. they have a card alyout to follow there for you to do which i wanted to do as i thought it was really cool. But no lizzie anne stamps. One day I might have to invest in a stamp or 2. :) Depends on what they have.

recycled christmas cards




These cards I made by recycling tissue boxes.The polar bear and the mouse both came from the 2 different tissue boxes that was empty but still to good to throw away as i loved the scene on them. They made a great scene for a card i thought. So I cut around them and made cards from them. Thats what you can do out of your christmas cards from last year or this year ,just save and this tha way you will have pictures or saying you can add to your stash.

Each she shows a blog candy to put into the box , But you have to make the card by the sketch to get into the contest. So far there is 30 sketches if you like to join into the fun.

Shopping Trip



Here are some ribbons that I bought today at Dollar general and Michaels today with the 40% coupon. Plus at Dollar general the ribbons they are $1.00 for 3/8 inches x9feet of ribbon. I will pay that.,Who wouldn't?? The rest of the ribbon was 50% off at Michaels. What a way to buy ribbon. Thats how i like to buy it. :) Now if you seen my ribbon collection I really don't need this but I just cannot resist buying new ones every year as i never know if I might give a roll away also. This way I have it. Now for some more christmas cards. :)
