Winner of my Rak ---------!

I asked my wonderful sister to pick up a number and.........the winner of the Nikki Sivill Rak is Drea! Congratulations Drea, your wonderful rak will be going postal this week!

I wish i had one for everyone, but I will be posting another Rak very soon! One of the items is a One-of-a-kind from a local craftsperson!

This was a white embellishment box by " Making Memories ". I painted it with blue folk art paint, then used "BG Two Scoops papers and embellishments" I used stickles sporadically on the lid design and chalked around the edges with a dark blue ink.

The box and paper collection was made available by a wonderful daily deal site! Crop Chocolate offers many deals a day and i will give advanced warning......this Chocolate is truly addicting!

Nikki Seville Rak

I think Nikki Seville is one of the "funnest" lines to come along in awhile. The packaging has the cutest quips; on the back of the chipboard it says ...... " Named after my friend Chip, who was always bored", on the brads it says ....."Brads. No relations to Steves." The buttons ..... "Burlap! excuse me" ... and on the 6 X 6 paddie it says "Small but mighty"

As promised I am offering this as a rak! All you need to do is post a comment, I will do the draw on Sunday August 22.

Good luck to all who enter!

It's been too long .......

This is the longest I've neglected my poor blog! When it rains it really does pour ......first my camera broke down, then my computor broke down, then i have some health issues i'm dealing with!

Just to update: I raised $100.00 selling my " Cards for Haiti "! I was so pleased with the response my cards generated!

I bought myself an awesome Toshiba Laptop, now i just have to figure out the ins and outs of it!

I also bought a new Sony digital camera so hopefully soon I can figure how to combine the two and start displaying my creations!

When that happens I will celebrate by offering an awesome RAK so stay tuned!

Heart for Haiti

The earthquake in Haiti is so devastating! The destruction left in it's wake massive destruction ...... so heart-wrenching!

I made some Valentine cards for sale and will be donating 100 % of the sales towards the haiti relief fund!

Some gift mugs! They have hot chocolate, chocolate bells, candy cane, chocolate dipped biscotti and a chocolate spoon! I love the tags that say " Naughty, but nice!

This is the kid's display of sweet treats and fun things!

Here is my friends grand-daughter with her gingerbread foamy mini-wreath that she made herself as a " make n take"!

Don't you think these are too good to eat! We had a work-place get together ( dinner, secret santa and a cookie exchange ) These were made by a co-worker .....i think they are awesome!

This is my 5th annual Open House/Craft sale and the preparations kept me hopping for quite a length of time! it was fun to put together and I just love it when friends come over!

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and may it be filled with peace, love and happiness!

Fall

My " Two peas in a pod " ---- Phoebe and Scooter! They're sure lovable!

http://theshakerbox.com/ World Card Making Day! Here are a few cards I did for the occasion! The " Shaker Box " had some wonderful challenges posted on their forum!

I love the look of black and white on its own and also with a dash of red!

Introducing baby-boy Logan!! I became a Great -Grandmother on Sept. 13th! Isn't he the sweetest??!!

Wishing everyone a fantastic fall and thank you for your patience!

Fall: A time for the hustle and bustle of the trees shedding their leaves; birds preparing for their long migration; critters scurrying around foraging for enough food to sustain them over winter!
