RAK from Tricia (alittleshabbychic on youtube)

Tricia lives in Great Britain and she and her family went to London. Which I think is so cool. So while she was there, she picked some really cute things up for me and my family and sent them to us. She also sent Mariah something special.

Mariah loved her bird house. The only problem we've had is that I've caught her several times trying to take it outside so the birds can come live in it. LOL Tricia said that she had heard that their chocolates and ours are different, so she sent some of those goodies to us too. My family completely flipped over the happy hippos. Those happy hippos were delicious - they would bring a smile to any one's face.

Quick Craft Tip to Get the Most from Your Glue

Hi everyone. I started using this glass to put my glue in. I just hate when I know that there is still glue in the bottle and I have done everything I can to get the glue to the tip but still can't get anything out of it.  Knowing I am going to have to throw it away, just burns my biscuits. That just seems so wasteful and with crafting supplies costing as much as they do, I can't afford to waste anything. Here is my video and my solution to that problem. I hope that you like it.

RAK from Ms. Evy (Turquesadot on YouTube)

Evy sent Jesse and Mariah all kinds of goodies all the way from Puerto Rico and they were so excited. She also sent me some really cute things and I wanted to share the video with you. The kids stood in front of the door so it really made it difficult to record the video; so I wanted to apologize for the quality of this video before you see it.

Mrs. Bell's Count Me Book

I made this book for my little girls class. The top half of the book has the numbers 1 thru 10 with circles that corespond with the numbers. Then the bottom half of the book has different punch art and the numbers are mixed up. The kids have to find the page with the one picture on it. Then they turn the page to number 2 and they have to find the page that has two pictures on it.

The one thing that I did add after I finished the video was I put tabs on the side of each page. I used Wal-Mart cardstock and it was kinda flimsy and made it difficult for Mariah to only flip one page at a time. So since I didn't have any heavier white cardstock, I thought this would make it easier for the kids to flip the pages. It seemed to work great because Mariah was able to flip the pages without any problem after that.

Let me know what you think.

Angry Birds Punch Art

A friend of mine is using a program in her children's church called, "Angry Words", it's a spin off of the "Angry Birds". So she needed some things to decorate her room with. Well, I'll be honest and tell you that I really wasn't sure what the angry birds really were. So my daughter told me they were a game and she showed me some pictures of them. So I got out my punches and this is what I made. All the punches are from stamp-in up. The large base circle is a 4 inch circle cut from my cricut. These were my prototype, so after she saw them and gave me the go ahead I started designing larger one's on my gypsy.

Please excuse the photo quality. I forgot to take pictures of them before I left, so I had to use my phone. Let me know what you think.

Thankful For You Fall Boxes

I showed you all the owl boxes I made. Well, I decided that I needed more - 85 just wasn't going to be enough. So I decided that I would make these ones for our police department and fire department. I really want them to know how much I appreciate the job that they do. So here is what I came up with.

First Day of School

There were a few times over the summer that I thought, (why can't tomorrow be the first day of school) and now I wish we had a few more month. I love spending time with my kids.

They always look so spiffy the first day of school. The end of the first day is a totally different experience though. Jesse will probably be dragging his backpack on the ground, to tired to lift it and Mariah will most likely be covered in ketchup from lunch.

There are days that they can drive me crazy. But I wouldn't have it any other way. They have been the biggest blessing to me from the moment I laid eyes on them. We adopted them both. Jesse came to us the beginning of June and turned 3 July 7th (he turned 20 this past July). He was tiny and wore clothes size 12 month. Mariah came to us the middle of June, had open heart surgery a week later, and turned 3 on August 20th. She was even smaller then her brother. She couldn't walk, crawl or sit up when we got her. She wore size 3 month and was just the cutest little thing you ever saw. She is 13 today. What a great birthday present - SCHOOL.

Acorn Punch Art

A lot of you know that I already did 85 owls and decorated the outside of  2 X 2 X 2 boxes to give out this fall. Well, I decided that 85 wasn't going to be enough so I started on 50 more. I have about 25 more boxes to finish. To decorate the top this time I decided I was a little tired of doing owls and decided to go with Acorns. So here is a video of the acorn punch art I made.

If you could let me know which one you like the best, I'd appreciate it. The one with the small eyes or the one with the large eyes.

You're One In A Melon Card

This was a super fun card to make and I used my cricut, which I haven't done in a long time. It felt so good to pull out all my super fun cricut stuff and make this. If you have seen the internet lately you saw where Billy Graham is in the hospital. Well, one of the teenagers in our church came to me and asked if I would help her make a card for Billy Graham and I thought that while I was helping her; I would make one too. I figured he'd get plenty of regular cards filled with all different kinds of scriptures, so I decided to make mine different and this is what I came up with.

Stamp-in Up Haul

Hey guys, hope everyone has a great Sunday. I did some Stamp-in Up shopping out of their regular catalog and new holiday catalog. I am gearing up for my Christmas projects. If you do not have a stamp-in up demonstrator I'd suggest finding one. If you order online with a demonstrator, you get 10% off of your order. They have awesome products and I enjoy everyone that I have. They are getting in what they call framelits (wafer thin dies - like spellbinders and they are great).

Haul from Joann's and Scrapbuck.com

Hey All, a quick haul from Joann's and Scrapbuck.com. This was the first time I shopped at Scrapbuck and I was really pleased with their products, how quickly they shipped, how well they packaged everything and that after $30.00 you got free shipping. (I can't remember if it was $20.00 or $30.00 for the free shipping.) I tried the scor-tape and was very impressed with how strong it is. I will definitely be getting more from them in the future.

Stamp-in Up Two Step Owl Punch

Hey Guys, I am working on a fall project and started by making over 80 owls with the Stamp-in Up Owl Punch. I used these products. . .

DCWV Harvest Gathering Mat Stack from last year inked with Tim Holtz Spiced Marmalade and Scattered Straw

Recollections Multi-Pack Brown and inked it with Tim Holtz Walnut Stain

The feet and beak are made with Bazzill Tangelo Blast and inked with Tim Holtz Spiced Marmalade

I ran the pieces through my xyron machine so assembling the owl was a zip and I also used a sakura white gelly roll pen for the whites of the eyes. They really went together quickly when I didn't have to worry about putting adhesive on the back of each piece.

I tried to add pictures to my post but it says that I'm out of space. So I'm gonna have to wait until I figure that out to add pictures to this post. I'm so sorry, I don't know what it is doing.

 Emjay is so sweet. She sent some goodies all the way from Great Britain for me and my little girl. Sorry it's in three pieces, I don't know how to put them together. Mariah, my little girl loved doing her video and now she thinks she should be in every video I make.

Please continue to pray for us as we are still dealing with the flood and the damage. The big problem right now is that our suburban was damaged in the flood and it is the only way I have to transport my wheelchair. So your prayers would be greatly appreciated.

So Happy To Be Back Home

I am so thankful that we are back in our house. For those of you who do not know, I live in Live Oak Florida and we got so much rain that many, many homes in our area flooded, including ours, and sink holes opened up all over town. There are two on our church property (which is where we were staying when we had to leave our home). Right now there is one in the center of town and after they xrayed the ground they estimated it to be at least 150 feet deep. My heart goes out to the people who are dealing with this flood and are still not back in their homes. We are still cleaning things up and we lost one of our vehicles when my daughter had to drive through a flooded road. So I wanted to ask you all to please pray that we get our car fixed or if God wants we find another one that we can buy. Our suburban is the only way we have to get my electric wheelchair out of the house and get me to my doctors appointments and back and forth to church. So if you all could join me in prayer over this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Please Pray for Us

Hi everyone. We live in Live Oak Florida and if you've been following the weather you know that we have had more than our fair share of rain. We had been fighting the water for almost a week, doing everything we could to keep the rain from coming in our house. I sewed sand bags until my poor sewing machine was exhausted and so was I. We loaded and filled sand bags, had trenches dug and yet the water kept coming. Two days ago we had to admit that we couldn't fight it any longer and it wasn't safe for us to be in the house anymore. My husband carried our littlest to the suburban, my oldest daughter helped my son out then my husband came back to help me. We have been staying at our church. Well, we woke up this morning to find a huge sink hole about 30 feet in front of the church doors. The police came to let us know that if it moved closer to the church that we would have to leave. Right now, it has stayed where it was and I am so thankful for that. I got on here today to ask you all to please pray that we are able to get back into our house soon and  that the damage is minimul. Your prayers will be greatly appreciated.

Handmade Paper Bags

I have seen so many people use paper bags to package gifts in their RAK's or swaps and I have seen different places that you could buy them from. So I thought that I would give it a try.

I had found some scotch shipping paper at Wal-greens and it was a little thicker than I had wanted but I'm sure you can find rolls of craft paper where you pick up regular wrapping paper or back in the craft department. I think the thinner paper would probably work better.

I used the butterfly fairies stamp set from Stampers Best, that I received in a RAK from Kerry Duff.

I purchased my Tim Holtz distress inks in Vintage Photo and Tea Dye from Joann's.

So here we go. . .

If you can see something you think I can do to improve on this, please feel free to let me know.

"I Feel The Love Card" for Brandon

Hey everyone, I sure hope that you all have had a great day today. Madison at Funky Cards has an amazing program called I Feel The Love. I've been ill with different things since the beginning of this year and have not had a chance to do cards for her program in what feels like forever. But I use to do it on a regular basis and even had the kids in my Sunday School class make a card each month for the recipient of this program. It's an incredible program and if you haven't already checked it out, I encourage you to do so. The story about this month's recipient, Brandon, is heartbreaking. Any time a child is hurt, my heart aches not only for them but for their parents. The other day I was looking at Madison's blog and it reminded me, "That no matter how sick I may be, I still have so much to be thankful for." So I made this card for Brandon. It's far from anything fancy but one that I hope will bring a grin to his little heart.

The stamps are Stampendous stamps called Changito Dos and I found them at Tuesday Morning. I used my Crayola colored pencils to color the images. The scalloped oval is from Stamp-in Up and the card stock is from Wal-Mart.

Becca's Mini Album

This has been one crazy day. It started with a transformer blowing on the poll beside our house at 1 a.m. this morning. Which nearly scared me to death. At about 10 o'clock a tree fell and landed on our patio. Jesse was on the patio at the time and it left a huge dent in the roof directly above where he was standing. I think my heart stopped on that one. I was watching him on the porch, I hear this loud sound and in the blink of an eye the tree was down and Jesse was gone. Thank God, he ran to the corner of the patio when it hit and I screamed for my husband to come help me. As I got to the door he came out from under the table he ran too. I think I held him so tight that I nearly squeezed the stuffing out of him when I got a hold of him. Then our washing machine decided to do something crazy and leaked water and kept running for some strange reason until it ran across the kitchen, through the family room, into the game room and under Jesse's door (completely covering his bedroom floor). I know this because I slipped and fell in it. This is one Memorial Day that I am ready to be over. Sorry about telling you all the bad things that happened today.

Let me show the mini album I made for a very sweet young lady, from my children's church, who came to see me when I was in the hospital.

Disney Autograph Book and a few more tags

I got up Friday morning and decided that I was going to make each of the kids in Jesse's class an autograph book for all the characters that they might meet on their trip.

Missing my blog and all of you.

I wish I had a project to post for you all but I just got out of the hospital and have been in there since my last post. I got home last night and am so thankful to be back in my own house. I can honestly say this was, by far, the worst hospital experience I've ever had. I am still waiting for the results of some test but could not spend one more day in that hospital. They were giving me some kind of steroid to make sure that I didn't get any blood clots while I was in there. So not only do I look like a pin cushion right now but I do not handle steroids very well.

My roommate was 98 years old and was a very sweet lady. But she was very scared and didn't want to be alone. So she decided that I should sit up with her at night. Well, after about the 4th night with no sleep because I was sitting in a chair between our beds and the steroids they were giving me (which make me very grumpy) I decided that I had to get some sleep. Well, she wasn't happy about that. She'd ring for the nurse and then when they'd come, she'd tell them that it was me. (You can laugh, it was funny. But at the time I was trying to figure out how I could bust myself out.) This is definitely something I'll never forget. She told me I must have been a big baby because I'm sure fat now. Yes, this is another example of some of the fun conversations we had while I was in there. Then the 15 guest she had in her room for 8 hours on Saturday was another amazing experience. They were taking pictures of each other and laughing and having a good ole' time. I think they thought they were at a family reunion. I was just waiting for someone to whip out fried chicken and potato salad and it would have been complete.

If anyone else has had fun and exciting hospital stays, I'd love to hear your stories. Please tell me that I'm not the only grumpy patient out there. LOL

As soon as I gave her her new purse, she carried it over to her daddy and asked for money to put in it. Thank goodness she still wants to buy barbie dolls and isn't asking to go to the mall. LOL

I used Folk Art (baby pink) paint and Plaid Royal Coat Decoupage Finish from Wal-Mart. Journey (K and Company) paper for the top. Beads from my stash, eye hooks and 18 gauge wire from my local hardware store for the handle.

Key Chain Charms

Today I decided to make my first key chains. I made my first charm the other day for a journal and enjoyed it so much that I decided to add some to key rings. I used different beads and charms from my stash. Then I used head pins, key rings and some chain from Wal-Mart. They are really easy to do and I love that I was able to personalize them with colors that my friends like and charms of things that they collect or are important to them in their everyday life.

This one is for my friend who is a Florida Gator fan (orange and blue are their colors) and he lives everyday for the Lord (so I added the cross).

This one is for my god-daughter to give to her mom, for Mother's Day. What girl doesn't like bling, shoes and need hope to get through each day. So I added the big bling at the bottom, the shoe charm and the ribbon that says "hope" on it.

They were a lot of fun to do and I plan on making more today. I've already started a green one with frog charms on it and my next one is going to be a pastel mix. Let me know what you think.

Jesse's Class Luggage Tags

Every time Jesse's class goes on a trip, I make tags for their bags. It just makes things a lot easier when they get back and they are all tired. You look at the tag and toss it to the very sleepy kid who is so tired they can't remember what bag they packed. LOL I used Stamp-in Up framelits for both the boys and girls tags. It was super easy and super quick. I hope you like them.

How My Tripod is Hooked Up for Videos

For those of you who do videos to go along with your blog, I wanted to share with you how my husband hooked up my tripod so that I could make my videos. Now the only problems that I have with this set up is the new tripod I have. The head of the tripod doesn't turn all the way so that I can have my camera set up in front of me so that you see things the same was I see them. That kinda bugs me and if it I don't adjust to this new angle, I may go and invest in another tripod. But will just take down the old one and re-attach the new one. I love having my tripod off of my desk so that I don't have to work around it.

Hope this helps you all find a way to hook up your camera so that it is out of your way while you are crafting and taping.

Mothers Day Corsages

I wanted to get a head start on something for my mom and my sisters for mothers day. I wanted to make them a corsage but not the typical looking corsage. I wanted it to be something that they could wear anytime they felt like it would match their outfit. My mom doesn't like real flowers because she says it's a waste of money because she hates to have to throw them away when they die. So I'm really hoping that she will like these.

I made the clay rose in the center and the pearl trim is from my stash. The rose buds are from Wild Orchid Crafts and here is the link to where you can purchase those.

 Then I purchased the bases for each of the corsages from Discount Charms. Which is Drew's store from Card of my Eye and here is the link to his blog.

He has a direct link on his blog to his etsy store. I was very happy with the prices he was charging and I was able to find some things that I couldn't find at any other stores there.

I hope you like the corsages and it reminds you to get started on your Mother's Day projects.

Thanks for visiting me today and happy crafting.
