Yummy Chocolate Turtles

Completed Mini Pizza Box Mini Pizza Box Group

Inside the Box!

As I have mentioned in earlier posts, I am in several swaps on SCS, this particular one is for chocolate lovers! We are to make cute chocolate give aways, and I have have signed up for 4 spots, meaning I have to mail out to 20 other chocolate lovers, but a few are in the same sign on spots as me, so can be shipped together. Anyhow, this is the one I have finsihed for my first group. My intention was, once I got the bright idea, to put a large "Pecan Turtle" in each mini pizza box....great idea, but, I couldn't find the big Turtles anywhere! So I had to settle for the Fannie Mae Pixies (same kind of thing, just a different name). I made the mini pizza box and stamped it to look like DS paper, then decorated the top using my new Cricut cartridge called "A Walk In The Garden"....do you think they will like them????? Shhhhhhhhhhhh...don't tell!

I will have my other Chocolate "swap" items on future posts...............they are great....hint..woof..woof!!

Butterfly Shadow Frame

Click on the photo to see all the butterfly detail and verse!

I made this butterfly shadow frame for my Mom for Christmas, she is 81 and sooooooooo hard to buy for, usually just get her stamps, grocery gift cards, that sort of thing, so this was a "fun" present. Her house colors are mostly pink, blue and yellow, it really does look so much more detailed "in person"!

Full Size Coffee Swap Cards

I joined several swaps on SCS. This is the one I did for the coffee card swap for full size cards, I also have to finish my other 3 x 3 cards today for the second coffee~tea swap! These were made with my new Flourishes Stamp set...this is my one and only Flourishes set I have, and I have to say, they stamped beautifully and I will be purchsing more from them! I used all SU paper and MS ribbon I purchased last year for Valentines Day! We lost our power yesterday for about 6 hours, so I stamped trying to keep occupied! I paper pieced the mugs, cutting the mug handles was tricky, but I like how they turned out!

Christmas Peace To All

Just wanted to wish ALL a Very Merry and Peaceful Christmas and thank ALL that have visited my blog in the past year! I can hardly wait for the "NEW YEAR" to start with all my new creations and put Christmas to "rest" for this year.

Today my hubby and I are spending the day alone..I have a smoked ham and cheesie potato's in the oven, and green beans with bacon...yum! No dessert for us, we have had too many baked goodies and my jeans are feeling "tighter"...so we are laying off the good stuff :( !

I had some nice surprises from "Santa" this morning...my "Carl" cutter, 4 of the new MS punches I have been wanting, an Ott light and a Cricut cartridge "A Walk In The Garden", which is a perfect one for me, as I am inthe process of scrapbooking my garden. I had other things as well, but that is the "crafty stuff" I received....oh Nellie got me a Golden Doodle calendar....I LOVE it! Well, off to load that new cartridge while dinner is cooking.........tomorrow is a whole new day, you will find me at Walmart at 6:am.....looking for the MS Christmas punches and glitter on sale (I hope)!!!

Merry Christmas From The Cabin

Kitty Witty in the snow!

Everyone wants to see pictures of the cabin, so here ya go! It is much bigger then the photo seems to show. The family~living room, kitchen and master BR are quite large! Kitty Witty was with me as I was taking pictures, so I had to add her, too!

Have a very Merry Christmas!!!

Greg...This One Is For YOU!!

I knew you would appreciate seeing this....hahahaha!!!!!

Girls Just Want To Have Fun...Wait...So Do Boys!

Ally and Mariah in their new LONG coats! More fun!

Brenton and Dylan being "silly"!

We bought Ally and Mariah new coats for Christmas...they are participating in some "pagent" visits during the winter, so I had the bright idea to buy them longer, dress coats to wear over their dresses...they had great laughs at the "longer" coats! Also, I don't know how they did it, but the girls talked Mariah's brother Dylan and their cousin Brenton into putting the coats on for my "photo shoot"!!! We all had some good laughs!
