I'm Back...I do so hope to keep this up; it's been too long.

Well my dear friend showed me how to make my blog pretty so now I plan on keeping this going with updates. We had a great Thanksgiving with both sides of our family. Now it is time to put up the Christmas decorations. Here is our Christmas Picture.

I love IKEA!!!!

Okay so I am estatic about Ikea. I went on Thursday & then took Mike with me on Sunday. The cafe reminds me of being in Europe & the food is cheap (unlike Europe). The stuff they have is sooooo coool. I didn't break the bank yet, but I am sure it is coming soon. Anyone want to go? Call me & I will go with you.

My latest work!

I wanted to share my latest work on the wall!! I just love this vinyl. If you are interested let me know I can personalize your daughters/granddaughter's etc.. name for you.

Thanks. Tracey

Our Easter Egg Hunt

We had a great Easter egg hunt today at my house with my friends and their kids. What fun we all had. Since it rained we were inside. Thanks again Teri, Jen & Andrea for a great time.

Our wonderful snow day.

We got a foot of snow. Wow. What fun we all had in the snow. The girls had fun for a while then got cold. Daddy got to use the snow blower hopefully for the last time this season.

Nugget Purse

Okay I got these great directions from youtube.com. If you want to see how to make these in action goto youtube.com & goto chicnscratch & look through her tutorials.

Basic instructions:

5"x1 1/2 " cardstock

Score at 1 1/2", 2 1/2" & 4 "

Take the shortest end & use the cornor rounder. Then distress edges.

Put 2 holes for handle on the score mark by the rounded corners.

Cut 6" ribbon for the handle & string through holes & tie the ends.

Use a thin strip for the middle.

Cut out a flower & put a hole through the flower, strip & purse. Finish off with a brad.

For the Hershey's nugget I took a standard label stamped it & wrapped it around the nugget.

My first attempt to have a blog.

Today I decided I would try the world of blogging. I have been to many blogs, but never really tried to have one of my own. I hope to add pictures of the projects I have been working on. Today we had over a foot of snow. I hope it is the last for the season. It was pretty to watch coming down.
