Baby its cold outside...

Lookin at the picture it looks like its been pretty nice up here in New England... well look closer. That was a picture from our ice storm last week. The picutre below show a better look at all the ice. Granted the town I live in didnt get it any where near as bad, but the surrounding towns did. They were without power for over a week. Now we are in the middle of a snowstorm. We got like a foot yesterday and its been snowin like crazy out all day today. Im not sure how much has accumulated but I know it is FREEEEEZIN out there!

So enough about the weather. I havent posted in sooo long that I thought Id share a scrapbook page I did the other day. I havent scrapbooked in forever. Ive been workin on an 8x8 book and I cant say for what or who or anything like that cause its going to end up being a Christmas present if I finish it in time and ya never know whos checkin out the blog. Now I obviously didnt edit this picture or anything. It needs to be cropped and have the lighting ajusted but you get the picture. I actually changed the page just a tad since Ive taken this picture. i added a couple little photos across the bottom and a Cute as a Bug tag at the top. Its hard to see but around the sides of the blue cardstock I stamped little ants from the bugs and kisses set. I used night of navy, pumpkin pie,bashful blue, and wild wasabi cardstock and I dont recall the name of the DSP. It retired last catalog. I used the big shot to make the letters for his name and that was it. Its a Very simple page but I love how it looks. I think it matches perfectly with my sons Preschool picture. Well thats all for now. I have to start makin some cookies for Wes to bring to school tomorrow. Hopefully I will post another page tomorrow. Dont hold me on it though. Have a great warm and safe day!

stationary set.

As Ive mentioned before my sister in laws and I are participating in a craft fair in Deerfield, Ma. My sil Shanun and I fell in love with these stationary boxes we have seen online on different blogs and sites. So we decided to make some for this craft fair. She is in charge of making the actual box becuase quite frankly i suck at it and she is very good at it and likes to do it. So I opted to make the cards and what not for the inside. I thought I would share a few pictures. This is the last set I finished today. Above is a picture of the whole set, which I just realized I need to fix one of the tags because its in white instead of vanilla. Guess Ill do that tomorrow. Either way the stationary kit comes with 3 41/4 x 51/2 cards, 3 3x3s, and 3 tags. It also comes with envelopes but I didnt think I really had to include a picture of them. I would show you the box that goes with it but I dont have it. They are at her house in New Hampshire. Here are some close up pictures. The lighting isnt very good because its night out here and my apartment doesnt have very good lighting but I think youll get the picture.

If you would like to get your hands on one of these sets stop by the fair on the 29th from 9-4 or you can contact me and I can make one just for you. Have a great weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!

mug sets.

Hello everyone! Thought I would post my new favorite gift set to make. Its very simple and comes out very cute....at least I think so. I simply bought a mug at our local grocery store and added some rub-ons. I used SUs Bella DSP to cover a mini composition book and a chipboard coaster. I covered a binder clip wiht matching paper and added a post it not pad and magnets on the back of it so it can hang on a refrigerator or desk or whatever. I included a coordinating RSVP pen and some peppermint patty sandwhiches. I used the Dreams DuJour stamp set from SU to make the butterflies and the front of the notebook. It is a very simple project to make and is perfect for anyone. Well sorry it was a short one, but I am trying to get some stuff done for this craft fair im doing with my sister in laws and well quite frankly its next week and I still have TONS to do. I will try to post a little more often.. maybe tomorrow, we'll see..Im not making any promises though.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks for poppin by!

it has definately been awhile....

So its been almost a month since Ive posted anything at all. I was doing good at keeping up with my blog but then.... my computer monitor broke. It is still broke, we dont have a clue as to whats wrong with. No money to fix it, no money to get a new one yet. So we have it hooked up to my TV which really sucks! I cant be online if someone is watching tv so now im rarely online for more than a few minutes at a time. I have TONS of stuff I could be posting and showing you pictures of, just no real time. I have been very busy the past few weeks. My Sister in Law Nikol is getting married so my other SIL and I threw her a bridal shower. That was a lot of work. I have also FINALLY finished making Save the Dates for my husbands cousins wedding. I embossed 90 of them. She chose the stamp Tres Chic from SU and I embossed it with clear on black paper. It came out really nice. Then My Sil Shanun and I have been working really hard at getting stuff done for a craft fair we have in a couple weeks. We have an aweful lot of stuff started and very few things finished so we are going to be very busy over the next 2 weeks. Well thats all I have for now. I will try to get some stuff posted in the next week. Have a Great Day!
