Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Monday! Hope you had a wonderful Mother's day! Today I'm sharing some Teacher Appreciation gifts I made for my niece. She attends a daycare/preschool and my sister asked if I had any flowers growing outside to send with her to school. Nothing has bloomed yet in my yard but I did have my start up garden. My granddaughters planted seeds. They got carried away with planting the seeds, so I have no idea what kind of plants are in the pots.....hahaha

I printed the thanks on the computer, cut
them out and attached them to a flower stick. 

I also attached flowers to some hand
lotion. I told my sister to trace my niece's
hand and write "Hands Down Your
The Best Teacher Ever". 

My two older granddaughters made these
for their Mom for Mother's day. It was so
cute, the oldest granddaughter said
"My Mom is a super Hero". We had
so much fun making these. 

Thanks for letting me share today. You have a wonderful week!

Christmas Gifts

Happy Monday. How is everyone today? Are you working on putting away all the Christmas decorations? Every year after all my decorations are packed away I find one more Christmas ball or some kind of decoration. Agghhh! (laughing) Today I am sharing some homemade Christmas gifts. Hope they make you smile!

This is the "Picture Memory Matching Game"
My goal was to make a set for each of my
 Nieces kids, some friends and my grand kids. 
Ha Ha I only got this one set made. I have
350 days to make them for this Christmas.
I better get started.....(smiling)

 

I didn't get permission to show my great
 nephew's pictures but they came out really cute.

My daughter made this as a Gag gift. Do you all
know what a Yeti is? My Daughter's friend asked her
if us City folk (her friend lives in a small rural area) 
would know what this was. Of course I didn't
get it. My daughter laughed so hard. "Yeti" is a very
 expensive name brand of coolers and water bottles.
What do I know about name brands? I shop at the
dollar store.......(lauging)

These are my grand daughters hand prints. I
made some salt dough and let Tessa play with it.
She had so much fun. It kept her busy for over
an hour.  She painted both hands. She was so
 proud of her hands.  Sharing the world through a
child's eye is the best gift at Christmas and all year. 

Thanks for letting me share! Have a super great day!

At the Beach!

Happy Thursday! Is it hot enough for you yet? Wish I had a pool or a beach near by today. At least this card makes you think about the beach. (smiling) My neighbor Heather has been coming over to craft every other Wednesday. I make dinner and she brings the card cuttings. It's pretty sweet! 

This card is done with all die cuts. Heather's sister Felicity,
designed this card and Heather just added her own touches.

It's very colorful and it was fun to put together.

Try and stay cool this weekend. Thanks for stopping by!

For You

Happy Monday! How is everyone doing today?  My husband and I have been busy working on remodeling our house, which includes my craft room. I will share some pictures next week. As I was packing up my craft room I came across some embellishments I had made for a craft fair. I had put them on top of jarred candles. I thought it would make a quick and easy card.  

The "For You" is a SU stamp and I added  glitter,
 a flower and bling.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your time with me. Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday. So have you adjusted to the time change yet? Not me!! I am really having a hard time this year. I guess in a few weeks we won't even notice.  I hope! Today I want to share a gift I received from a crafting friend Bernadette. She stopped by a few weeks ago and brought this cute purse.  It inspired me to make my own purses. Thanks Bernadette. 

I believe she used SU double sided paper.
I love the bling she used as the snap for the purse. 

Here is the purse I made. As you can see my purse
is much smaller next to hers. I used the sizzix die cut.
 I think Bernadette used SU die cut. 

Of course I couldn't just make one, so I made
each of my TOPS members a little purse for
doing such a great job on the latest contest. 

Have a super great weekend. Happy Stamping!
