a Christmas gift.......

Well, I've been holding on to a picture from a magazine forever.........something that my step-mom really liked. Of course now that i want to refer back to it i can't find it............oh well - anyways this is what i ended up making. It started out way different but evolved into this. I hope she likes it!!!

a few things "Scrappy".........

Well, this year i had a plan scrap all sorts of goodies for Christmas presents. So Christmas is just around the corner and well, looks like that's not gonna happen. Just when you think you have all the time in the world you decide to make "10" little mini books for the cute little soccer girls........wow - that took some time, but really i don't mind. They loved them and the parents did to. But back to Christmas gifts.....i did get these (see photos) done for my little nieces (Spencer's sister's girls) Olivia and Elena. Then put together a mini banner and covered a tin star to match.........(that's for ME!!!). Slowly but surly getting into the Holiday spirit...........now off to address 75+ Christmas cards..............good night!!!!

Special project........

Well forever I've been holding on to these beautiful buttons my grandmother gave me. Buttons that she had held on to for years as well. I've used very few on special projects but wanted a place to have them all together but not just sitting in a jar. Now, those buttons are part of my creative space and will bring a smile to my face remembering my sweet little grandma...........i miss her!!!!!

Thanksgiving re-cap.............

Well, Thanksgiving was so fun this year. We spent it up at my mother-in-laws for the first time. They live up north ~ so beautiful. If I were ever going to move this is one of the places that would be on my list. They have real seasons up there and the air is so crisp.......perfect weather for a beautiful Thanksgiving weekend.
Saturday after being on the road for 7 hours i got home got ready and was out the door to see Celine in concert. I had friends that really wanted to see her and was lucky enough to score some tickets for the box (thanks Dad!). I have never been a huge Celine fan - but she really is an amazing singer............her concert was great and I love being able to watch a "show" along with great music. The dancers were awesome!!

So now, December is here and the count down is on..............WOW - Christmas here we come!!!!

winter wonderland......

Lookee where we are going ~ Beautiful!!!
