Kaitie's card to send to Madison's "I Feel The Love Program"

The card still needs to be put on a base, which she will do when she comes back this weekend. It will be mailed on Monday Dec 5th. I hope it gets there in time. Not to shabby for a 9 year old little girl. :)

My card for Jen's Merry And Bright Challenge

I apologize for the photo being so dark. For some reason my scanner didn't scan it as well as I thought it would and its been rainy and I couldn't get a good photo of it. Anyway, it has a silver metallic base, a snowflake paper (I don't remember where it came from, a mat stack I am sure), and a Making Memories Jelly Label "Merry Christmas" and some silver Stickles for the fur on the hat. The digital stamp is one of Jen's Digital Stamps I won from the Bountiful Blessings Blog Hop. 

Good News...2 more blog wins...yeah me! Craft Room is coming along...and 12 Days Of Christmas Blog Hop

Well hello everyone. I received some exciting news yesterday, I won another blog Hop Prize, this time from Huff and Puff Scrap got the email yesterday. I also won earlier in the week from Tami's Craft Connection. I guess my luck hasn't entirely run out yet. Thanks for the lovely prizes ladies. I promise to get good uses out of them. :)

My craft room is coming right along. Been working on getting the living room furniture into the old dining room. We finished that up today. Now the craft room has all the boxes that used to be sitting in the dining room with my craft stuff in them sitting in the craft room on every piece of available floor space. Plans are to finish sorting it out and straightened this room (craft) up tomorrow so that the Christmas tree can go up in the front windows of the craft room. Kaitie is down here so we want to get it done while she is here to help decorate. That granddaughter (Kaitie) of mine made off like a bandit today. She has a huge box of scrapping and card making stuff. And we haven't even put a dent in all the stuff that needs to be sorted through and put away yet. :) 

I am participating in my next blog hop, I am not a person that is doing anything in it, I am just hopping along getting ideas, this one is requiring a little more time, its the 12 days of Christmas one that is over at http://bellascrapbookdesigns.blogspot.com I hope I did that right and the link works. It started today and runs through Dec 6th. So far I have seen several projects that Kaitie and I are going to try and do. I think my favorite one, so far, is the magazine Christmas Trees. I get to clear out some of the old magazines and don't feel like I am throwing them away into a landfill somewhere. (I am all about recycling, less trash polluting up the land that way). 

Well I am off to bed, I want to get an early start on finishing my craft tomorrow. Will hopefully be able to post pics when I am done. There is no way I am posting any before shots of it....oh, no, that is way to messy for people to see. 

Until next time....Happy Crafting!

I hope everyone had a spectular Thanksgiving with family and friends.

Mine was busy. I worked on desserts last night and helped (my hubby usually wants to cook the main food of the big meals, I always wondered if that's because I'm a bad cook or because he thinks I need a day off, lol) cook the dinner. Then we went after Kaitie to come spend the weekend. That was an interesting ride home to say the least. She was air guitaring it to "White Lightning" by George Jones. She didn't miss a beat and sung right along with the song. She is 9, she definately needs to find a younger crowd to hang with. lol When we got home she got to see the craft room I been trying to get set up the past 3 days. She was having a blast looking at all the jars of stuff that Mamie has on the shelves. I am getting there, but its a long ways to go. I am sorting through as I go and that's why its taking so long. I found stuff I forgot I even had. I guess that's what almost 3 years in boxes will do to you, make you forget.

Tomorrow (well actually now I guess later on today) I am going to try to finish going through the boxes in what was the dining room to get the rest of the living room moved out of the craft room and into the dining room.

I have a 11x22 size room now and still am running out of room? What the heck, way to much stuff. I decided come January 1st, 2012 if it isn't adhesive (which you can't craft without), I am not buying anything until I use up some of what I got. I been doing a lot of cards the past couple weeks so I am using it. I have spent some money but coming New Years Day, that will all change. I own way to much. Thank Heavens for Blog Hops, I can still get some new stuff (when I win) and not feel totally deprived. I know if I stay out of the craft stores and off the crafty websites I should be okay. 

Today or tomorrow depending on how my moving around stuff goes, I plan to put up the Christmas Tree. It will have to go in the craft room because that's the only room with windows facing the road and our living room has just been downsized to a 14x14 room, that has a small kitchen table in it. But I don't mind, I love my tree. And besides how much room can it take up? :)

Well until next time......Happy Crafting!

Today I started working towards getting my craft room back...

A few years ago (April 2009) I choose to give up my craft room so that my grandson who was moving in with us could have a room. Well today (Nov 2011) I started working to get a craft room back. All summer I been wanting to be able to do my paper crafts and have been unable to because everything was boxed up in a hurry and I couldn't find anything and I was buying repeats of stuff I had already bought (ex, last month I bought a new heat embossing gun because I couldn't find mine). Hubby and I been talking about giving up the dining room and moving my craft room into the living room (which is an addition anyway). So today I started on that project of moving furniture and setting up my craft room. Hopefully I will have it done by Thanksgiving. If not, my house is going to be a wreck when people start arriving. I got a lot of it moved today, but there's still a lot to move. I swear I wouldn't need to ever visit a store for paper or cardstock ever again and never would I run out...lol My biggest problem at the moment is finding a place for everything that makes sense for it to be there. But as I progress I am sure I will eventually find a place for everything and all will be fine. As soon as it is finished I will post some pics so that I can say I actually got my craft room back. :)

Until next time....Happy Crafting!
