Christmas Joy!

I made this card after seeing a card on Claudia's blog I changed it a little and used a different Tilda but I wondered if it was alright to copy her card....I have been going back and forth weather should post the card or not....I made this card a few weeks ago and I emailed her to ask her permission but I never heard back from her which I'm sure she is a very busy lady....So I hope that I have not broken a rule or offended anyone that surely is not be my intention at all....Actually I admire her work so much....She is very talented....As if I could be that good right....Anyhow I wanted to share cause I just loved the way this card came out....This is the only Christmas Tilda I have so far.....I used my copic markers to color her, some vintage lace and I think the paper is Creative Imagination but I'm not sure since it was given to me by my friend Camille and bazzil cardstock....The card really is very simple but just adding a little stitching sure does make such a difference....Hope you like.....Thanks for stopping by....Love Love

Advent Calendar

I have been so crafty the last few days.......Which always makes me happy......It makes me feel great to complete projects and to use stash I have in my craft room.....I however continue to have a hard time completing one project before moving on to the next great idea.......I love the way the advent calendar came out......I almost want to make another one so the boys can each have one.......I need to incorporate December on the top somewhere I did one but wasn't lovin it and decided done is good for now.......I can hang it on the wall with the ribbon I attached which was my plan but as I was taking the pictures I think I like it sitting in the stand better.....How cute!

The Day After Christmas!

I hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas......We did and we had two very happy boys.....The wii is the new favorite thing in our house.......Even I like it and I have been saying for years that I'm the mom and don't know how to play video games but this is so different........Just love it......Bowling if you need me......Well today I didn't go into the madness I stayed in my craft room which made me a much happier person.......I however don't seem to have got a whole lot done......I am finishing up a few little mini books of Dominick's school pictures for him to take to his dad, grandma and auntie tomorrow when he leaves for California......We sure will miss him and Jared is going to miss him most.......I am excited today for Joscie I know she is waiting to hear good news in the morning about becoming a DT member....GOOD LUCK GIRL....She will be so happy........So envision your parking space Joscie.......ha ha......I am going to get off this computer and get back to work........Love Love until tomorrow........

Can you believe it's already Christmas Eve.....Where has the time gone......I am happy to say that I have completed most of my projects (gifts for friends) and my cards went out on time....Which is a big deal for me.....So I started making these framed name signs for friends and family a few years ago and they have truly improved from my first one.....My friend Cheryl calls it her Kristina Original......Back to the story.....My long time friend and fellow crafter Joscie was suppose to get one in August for her birthday but I went on Vacation that month and things were so crazy that I started it and never completed it......I even gave her birthday card to her without signing it.....Such a Nerd I know.....So anyhow I decided that I was going to be sure to complete it and give it to her with her Christmas gifts......So now it counts as to gifts right.....Birthday present and Christmas present......They came over for dinner last and I gave her the sign and of course we had to laugh at the thought that she got her birthday present for Christmas.......I hope that she likes it and maybe I should start on her august 2008 birthday present now.....Well off to make sugar cookies with the boys......So much to still do........

Jared's Christmas Program

Jared was so cute and he did such a good job at his Christmas Program........Although he could have said his Verse a little slower........He was dressed perfectly.........He is so handsome and

growing up way to fast........Here are a few pictures for the other night......Enjoy

More Christmas Stuff

Well as I said I have been a busy girl........I went to dinner last night with a few girls and made them each checkbook covers, notepads, and the cookie jars of course........They were all so happy which of course made me feel good.......I never got around to posting yesterday so here are the pictures of the projects I made.......I used the Simply Scrappin kit from Stampin up for the notepads and checkbook covers and some quickutz to put either names....I also made little christmas cards with some old scraps from last years cards I think it was pebbles Inc......I think they came out pretty cute what do you think?

More Christmas Cards

Well I never made it on here yesterday I was busy I guess making more stuff. I think that this is the time of year that I'm most productive! I made some more Christmas Cards with some really old Stampin up Simply Scrappin kits that I have had for way to long. I don't even really love that kit but came up with a few cards and am happy with the way they came out. I have also been making gifts for people. I will post pictures of them later today. Today I am going to Jared school to help his class make Christmas cards and little ornaments for their parents. It's always fun to see the kids stamping right. I will take some pictures of course. I got my lens back yesterday and am so happy to have gotten it just in time for Christmas. I have many things to get done! Didn't I say I was going to make some lists of things to get done? Guess I haven't gotten that far! I will post again later when I have more pictures!

Christmas Gifts

These are my hanndmade Holiday Gifts From A Jar. I used Stampin Up Paper, Marvy Punch, White Pen, and Making Memories Christmas Rubons. They came out so cute!

Christmas Cards

Becky Higgins Christmas Card Kit. The Goal was to spend more time working on gifts and projects and not forever working on my cards. They did come together really quickly!

Well today is my first day! I'm new :~} A lot of my friends have been doing this for awhile and I actually tried to set it up February of 2007 but only put two posts so I closed the account. I hope this one goes a little better. With only five days till Christmas I'm sure there are a million and ten other things I should be doing right now! Shocking I know! I did finish my Christmas Cards and got them mailed out with a few boxes. I have been so busy making gifts for people and this year instead of baking many cookies I have made a jar with everything to make your own cookies. I'm not sure how good the recipe is but the Jar sure looks cute! We didn't get our Family Photos done but maybe I will send them out in January. I have started making lists of things I wish to accomplish throughout the week and will see if this helps to get things done? Jared is having his school program at Church tonight so we all need to get dressed and make sure the Camera battery is charged because I know I will take way to many pictures.
