Hi Everyone, Hope you are enjoying your Sunday.. I am cause I don’t work on Saturday and Sunday

I'm hoping to get some crafting done today, really would like to make a couple Cards, But then I'm making

them,.

Well My post is about the Dangle Charm I made for the Group over at the The Scrap Beach

This is great site for swap projects they have everything over there,

I’ve making these Dangle Charms in swaps over there for about 7 months now, and think I’m

going to take a break.. the Dangle Charms I have received are just beautiful but I'm need to find

a way to display them , before I join anymore swaps

so guess I will show you what I made, the theme for this swap was Valentines

I made my vintage and had to make a tag to go with it, my tag is pretty simple..

2010-09-01T19:43:00.001-04:00

Hi Everyone, got a card made for the Any one for Anya challenge blog

cant believe I haven't made a card for this challenge before, I have a lot of greeting farm stamps

I think what caught my eye this time was a friend Carisa is a DT over there and I just loved the sketch

they have this week., I'm trying with my copics hopefully one day i can color as good and Carisa and a lot of other

ladies. Hair seems to be the hardest thing for me. well anyway. my boss really pissed me off today at work, so coming home

and making this card, helped me get over it..

so onto the sketch

And my Card, I hope its not to plain looking

Thank you for stopping by

Happy Wednesday, just a few more days and I’ll be having a 3 day weekend, I love holiday’s when there is no work!!

Nothing new with me, I'm just in a crafty mood, but cant seem to get anything started, maybe because there is so much I

want to do and don't know where to start. I have a card started but if I get it finished in time will be another story

but since it is Wednesday, I just love the Julia's blog for WOYWW

I actually got a lot of my ribbon on rolls hanging up so I cant actually see what I have, I'm hoping over this long weekend

I can clean my craft area, its truly a mess.. so here is my WOYWW for this week , can wait to visit yours..

thank you for stopping by and have a great weekend/holiday!!

Wow I made something and some blog candy soon

2010-01-07T17:29:00.001-05:00

Hi Everyone. I actually made something and posted something here too other than my messy desk..lol

I so lost my mojo, keep losing it hopefully this time I will remember where it is..

I made a card for a challenge over at Cafe Mom for the group Card Makin Mama’s

I thought it was so cute I had to try it.. then I have been seeing these huge clothes pins Julia had one on her blog

and she told me where she got hers, but I just happen to find some at Joann”s so I bought a couple. they are fun

to play with..

And Since I’ve been such a bad blogger lately I missed my blog anniversary, My Birthday. lost my mojo

haven't been commenting on friends blogs I thought Some Blog Candy was due, so stay tuned I just have a few things to do

and it will be up, tomorrow(Friday) or Saturday at the latest..

so here are my 2 projects I did

Thank you stopping by

WOYWW First for 2010

2010-01-06T08:23:00.001-05:00

It took me a sec to remember how to do this..lol. Thank you Julia for the info on

the large paper clips, I just think they are pretty neat. Well My blog has been very boring

lately I haven't posted anything, I lost my mojo again. I need to get it back cause my wonderful husband bought me this for Christmas

And I just love it, as you see I also have the Slice he got me last Christmas.. I should be a creating monster..LOL

I have been playing a little bit, my desk is a mess so it looks like I’ve been doing stuff

Other than that I haven't been doing much, Had a great time in New York over Christmas with my Son and my DIL

she has the sweetest family so glad got to finally meet them.

my hand is doing good tomorrow is my last day for physical therapy on it. Now I'm just waiting for the doctors office to

call with the appt to do the other hand, and I'm just a bit worried. it will my right hand and I use it for everything.

Here's a picture of my Kids at Christmas Its not the greatest Picture of coarse I forgot my camera, so I had to use the cell phone

Thank you for stopping by, Happy New Year! and don't forget to show us what on your work desk Wednesday

2009-12-09T07:29:00.001-05:00

Hi Everyone!!! boy I’ve missed blogging I can’t believe its been 6 weeks since my surgery and my last post, time fly's I haven't even made

any Christmas cards or gone major shopping, this year my daughters and I are going to see my son/brother and his wife in New York

and feel a little bit guilty and sad my hubby isn't going..1. he has to work and 2. we have a house full of pets and nobody to watch them

so he said to go.

went to the dr’s today for the 6 week check up , I need to do some physical therapy, so I have to set that up tomorrow

then after the holidays he’s going to do the right hand.

Well I haven't done much crafting at all, made my desk messy and added a few things so I will show you now

some stuff I bought at Ikea boy I love that place

a shelf my hubby put up for me

don't understand how it got so messy I haven't made anything…lol

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!!

Good Morning , its Wednesday again I so look forward to Wednesday just for WOYWW over at the

Stamping Ground

And this week I actually was working, the bigger table is really nice I love it but as you’ll see it also makes a

bigger mess, I bought one of them memory makers cresols(sp) but ended up taking it back it was too big and

I put my markers and scissors' in it and then i couldn't find them the holes where to deep I noticed a lot of ladies

have them but it just didn't work for me, so now I have to find something else for that stuff

well here is my work desk for this week.
