Just in Case you thought I ran away

Hi everyone,  Thought I would do a quick post to let you all know I am still alive and kicking.  As I mentioned earlier, our house is on the market.  We have open house just about every day as we are home.  Let me tell you keeping a house in "show" condition is a challenge.  I have also been working on my craft show items as my next show is Dec. 10th.  I have tried 3 times to upload a short video on some of my items, but every time I did, someone came to look at the house.  I will try again tomorrow.  Don't forget me.....I'll be back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See you soon...play nice

A Little of this and that.

Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO my gypsy broke.  The usb port for the connection chord is just floating around inside.  Waiting for the mailing label so I can send it in.  I am told they will send me another as this one is still under warranty. But what about all the things I already had saved in it?  Crying Crying. 
Anyway here is a quick video with some this and that.  Enjoy.

Ready..Set..Go for Christmas Episode 7 A Joy Card

Hi everyone,
Well it is good to be back at crafting.  This is going to be a challenge.  I will have to keep my craft room squeaky clean as the house is for sale and available for showings anytime.  UGH!!!  I don't know about you all but I am not the neatest crafter....in fact I am somewhat of a slob.  Oh Well.  I digress..
Today's card uses some letters cut from the plantin schoolbook cart along with a stamp from great impressions.  The paper is from the Christmas pack from recollections..Pretty paper.
I think the card came out cute cute cute. The second card was stamped .from a boarder of ornaments stamp from sugarloaf.  This is just the center panel to show other possibilities.  You could  also use a wreath stamp or even a plain scalloped circle with a peachy keen face stamped in the middle.  Anything round will work.
The video below shows the process.

Missing in Action................Not Really

Hi everyone,  Just  a short note to let you all know that I am not really missing in action.  Sorry for the inturruption in my Christmas series.  Our house just went on the market this week, and we decided on an open house this weekend.  Needless to say I have been going nuts this past week making it show ready.  I really miss my crafting but sometimes life gets in the way.  Be back ASAP.  By the way if anyone wants to buy a three bedroom two bath pool  home in South West Florida.....................let me know.

Ready...Set..Go For Christmas Episode 6. A Shaped Card........Some of my Halloween Goodies for Saturday's Craft Show

Hi everyone,
Boy, I wanted to get more posts in this week but I found out Monday that I would be doing a craft show this Saturday!!!.  Thankfully I have lots of items already made, but I still was out straight.  Below are a couple of pictures of my treat section.  I always try to have a seasonal treat section for each show.  I also heard Monday that I will have another show Dec. 10.  Wow at least a little more upfront time. 
This week's Christmas card is a Jingle Bell shaped card.  Simple but pretty.  Check it out.  Measurements are given on the video.

Now for some Halloween Treats

Check out that ghostly choir.  They are Tootsie pop wrapped in a coffee filter, tied with butcher's twine and stamped with a Peachy Keen face.
The little packages hold Reeses peanut butter cups and the funny guys are Frankinhersey.
Oh my, such fun to make.  These will transform into Frosty the Hersey Bar for Christmas.
My hubby made the little stand for the ghosts.  They look too cute standing there.
Well that's all for today.  Tomorrow I will be busy checking out my card stash and making more as needed.
See you later........................play nice
