Crafty Christmas

It finally happened! I got my Christmas craft on. And, this unexpected snow day has given me the impetus to keep it going. Our button trees are all done, they have been for some time now but we still need to make toppers. I never did make it to AC Moore to pick up the wooden stars but I'm sure I have something around here that will suffice. As soon as they are ripe, I'll take some photos. :) In the meantime enjoy what I've been up to. All products are Stampin' Up! And, if anyone wants dimensions and how to's, just let me know and I'll be happy to share. :)

A fun little treat to leave for Santa...in addition to the cookies and milk of course....



A fun rolled paper ornament for my brother & future SIL...



And altered binder clip to hold this year's Christmas photo for my hubby's desk....

Happy Pink Saturday! I have been going thru my summer photos and I came across this cool shot of my DD in her bright pink shirt in front of the M in MMOCA...Miami Museum of Contemporary Art. And another on a floor of records... And this is a shot of the family in front of La Carretta cuban restaurant in Little Havana. I rooster smoking a cigar. Gotta love it. :) This turned into a where in the world is the little girl in the pink tank top post but it was fun to relive those summer vacation memories again. I hope you have a Pinkalicious Saturday!

Craftiness & a Holiday Headstart

These are on their way to some friends for whom I am very grateful to have in my life. :) I got this as a gift from Sweet Mellie who was my Secret Santa last year but didn't have enough time to make it so I made it today. Isn't it CUTE!? I plan on filling the draws with little treats for the kiddos to enjoy each day leading up to and including Christmas Day. Should be FUN. I noticed that I put holly berries in the middle of my flowers instead of regular old brads but it's too late now. Them suckers are glue dotted on. :O I think I got my Christmas card photo!!!!!! What do you think?

Color of the Week - Orange

This year our annual pumpkin picking trip took us to Barton Orchards up in Pauquag. It's a bit of a drive but they make picking an event. Hayrides, corn maze, petting zoo, farmer's market and even apples...tons of apples. We picked a couple of pumkins and a bag of apples. It was a gorgeous day. But I think the best part for the kiddos was this slide they built into a mountain. It was underground and pretty long. I was able to get some cool shots of them coming out of it. Neat, huh? A sea of pumpkins. How's that for an orange photo? Dylan and his pick. :) Natty and her pick. :)
