Another Workshop! Yahoo!


Tonight I have a workshop for someone who really wants a Big Shot, so the 3-D item I planned is one based on the Big Shot, this cute little owl treat! Whooooo wouldn't think that's cute!




This is a card we are doing with the Handmade Holiday, funny story, I ordered the kit and made a mistake and put in the wrong code and received the kit in Spanish! If I had any friend who spoke Spanish as their language at home this holiday season I would be all set. The good news is that many of the images don't have any words on them and I have the stamp set that matches in English, so tt will work, but sometimes I need to stop and watch what I am doing!


We are doing this card upon request of the hostess so that her non-crafting guests might be able to purchase a simple project! Smart Hostess!



Finally this is a Crazy for Cupcakes Card we are doing to show off our scallop edge punch, the Crazy for Cupcakes Stamp Set and our awesome DSP!

Last of the Halloween Happenings


Ghoulish hands! A rubber glove stuffed with Crunch and Munch, fashioned with a fancy spider ring and Stamped Tag! Pretty Halloweenie!




Here is the basket that is going into school tomorrow for my fifth graders class. His treat had to be sealed just to ward off any issues with allergies.



Peppermint Patty Spider! Love him!



This guy I made about 40 and filled with goodies from the Target Dollar Spot. A bunch for the 4 year old preschoolers and a bunch for my second graders class! I love Frank!

Bubble, Bubble, Toil and Trouble


Check out these cute test tubes that I filled with candy and made little holders for. Can a little sugar really turn a grumpy witch into a good witch?

Jack's Birthday


Jack and his buddies, Dylan and Nick posing at the Basketball Hall of Fame. After coming home at 2AM from NYC and Jersey Boys, I got up early the next morning so that Mike and I could take Jack and his friends to check out the New Hoop Hall in MA.

It was actually really great for a Hall of Fame. It has a huge Center Court where the kids can shoot hoops and all these interactive exhibits that the kids just loved! Plus we finished off the visit with ice cream at Coldstone Creamery!


Maddie on Center Court!




Jack making a basket!

New York City!




October 17, we headed into the city to spend the day shopping and the night with the Jersey Boys. What a FABULOUS show. It blew me away. I love musical theatre, this show exceeded my expectations!



Here we are outside the theatre Tammy, Deb, Suzi and me (and my huge zit).



Deb and I at Patsy's, the restaurant we choose out of Tammy's guide book. It was a great Italian place. I am trying to hide my zit with my hand, pretty smooth don't ya think. The Waiter must have felt I was the saddest of the bunch because he have me a goodie bag on the way out that had tomato sauce from the restaurant. How many places give you a party favor on the way out! Only in NYC!



Tammy and Suzi! Tammy got that great hat on Canal Street. She showed us how to shop and bargain!
