Hello! Today I would like to share some of the homemade birthday gifts I received for my birthday. Are you tired of hearing about my birthday?  While you only turn 50 once in a life time. As my husband would say "I am putting the stretcher on it"....LOL

This was crochet by my sister-in-law Pauline.
It's Beautiful!!  I just love the color.

It fits perfect on my chair.
Thank you Pauline I will cherish it forever!

My Auntie Patti sewed this bag for me.
It's so gorgeous. 

  The material is so pretty!! The flowers have a glitter to them.

I used this bag yesterday when I went to the Swap meet at the Hen House.
It held so much stuff.  It was GREAT.
Thank you Auntie Patti!

My sister Renee loves to crochet.  She made me a dish towel/pot holder.
I love using them.  She also made lavender bath salts.  It smells so good!
Thank you Renee!!

Don't you just love homemade gifts?  I try and give homemade gifts as much as possible. Later this week I will share some of the crafting gifts I received.  Wishing you a week filled with crafting and loving family!

Hope you just refilled your coffee cup because I have lots of cards to show you today.  We had a great time last night at Wednesday Ladies Card Night.  So much talent from such beautiful ladies.  Dee was our host for the night and her husband cooked pizza for us. They sang happy birthday to me and we ate delicious chocolate cake. (I know what your thinking, my birthday was last month...but I just keep celebrating turning 50...LOL) We had a blast!!  Thank you ladies!!!!

Saturday I had my Workshop on the Go class using the Premberley kit. (see page 25 of the CTMH catalog)  The ladies learned how to blend using prisma color pencils and turpenoid.  They used a leaf stamp from the stamp set to create a flower setting on one of the cards and Tim Hotlz water color markers. They did a wonderful job!!

I forgot to get pictures of their cards...  Sorry ladies!

Using the leaf stamp we created the blue flower, added a button and bling.
The dragonfly was stamped using the Tim Holtz markers.
This is my sample card and it landed in the ink pad during the workshop.  LOL

This is the Premberley workshop on the go kit. The paper is just beautiful.

Thank you ladies for coming Saturday!!!  We had a lot of fun even with the little bit of sleep you got...LOL
Have a wonderful COOL week!
