Met some great ladies!!

This past Saturday I demonstrated at a workshop my Aunt Donna held in her home in Fredericton.  I met some of her wonderful friends and I think they had a great time making their projects.  They even let me take their picture.  Thanks ladies!!

Below is the hostess gift I made.  Snowmen are sooooo cute!!  And I certainly love the snowman stamp in the JOLLY OLD SAINT NICK stamp set. 

What a wild day!!

This has been an absolutely wild windy rainy day here.  I'm so glad I am now home warm and safe and very glad I don't have to be anywhere this evening!!  I'm preparing for a workshop tomorrow.  I've never actually packed up for a workshop before.  Here's hoping I don't forget anything because it's an hour drive!!  LOL!!  I wanted to show you a card I made for a friend's birthday.  I wanted to do fall colours because the leaves are so pretty right now.  Have a look.

Getting ready for Christmas

I know Halloween hasn't arrived yet but I really love Christmas and everything that goes along with it.  Below are the projects I've made for my workshop on Saturday.  We are making a Snowman card and a Santa giftcard holder.  See what you think. 

The images I used are from the stamp set Jolly Old Saint Nick in the Holiday Mini Catalogue.  It is such a cute set.  Can't wait to do more with that stamp set!!

Still here

Well you've probably thought I dropped off the face of the earth ... no just busy... not a good excuse though... LOL.... I promised you a picture of the bag I was making and here it is.  A friend wanted it for a young girl for Christmas and asked for purples.  Kind of funky huh??  Hope she likes it!

Did you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving?  I sure did.   Everyone in my house loves a turkey dinner and leftovers don't last too long around here.  I was thinking perhaps I should cook 2 turkeys. I know they wouldn't go to waste. 

I have a workshop on Saturday and I was busy tonight creating the projects we are going to make.  I'll post pictures later. 

Where has the time gone???

Well, my goodness, here it is Sept 30 and it I haven't posted for quite a while!!  I've been back to work and before you know it the week has gone by.  I've been crafting but I don't have a pic to show ... yet.  When the bag that I've been making is finished, I will post it.  It's very colorful with shades of purple!!  I just found buttons for it tonight and I'll be sewing those on shortly.  A friend asked for purples so ...

I've just booked 2 workshops for Stampin' UP! and I'm sooooo excited for them.  I've never had an actual workshop to demo at before.  There are so many wonderful products and I'm in the process of designing and creating what we are going to make at the workshops.

Well must go and get busy.  Until next time,  happy crafting.

My last day of vacation :(

The inspiration for this card came from my friend and Stampin' UP! upline Tina Weller.  As you can see I'm kind of in Christmas card mode.

Crafting day

What an awesome day!!  It's sunny and crisp...my favorite time of year!  And, I'm on vacation this week and don't have anywhere to go today.  Yay!!!  I can just stay home and craft.  Another Christmas card to show you, hope you like it.  The bottom pic is the inside of the card. I love the fabric Stampin' UP! is offering now.  It's gorgeous!!!  I used the new trim die and fabric from the Holiday Mini as well as the Cherry Cobbler seam binding ribbon from the mini as well to create this card.  Have I mentioned how much I love Cherry Cobbler, I LOVE IT!  Cherry Cobbler is deep and rich and oh so pretty.
