Every year, I make ornaments for an amazing group of friends. I usually make a snow globe ornament with a winter scene inside. This year I used the Fluffy Squirrel stamp set to feature inside my snow globe. I've been making ornaments for more than 10 years now. Here are a bunch of them that I've made through the years. These are a lot of fun to make although I realized this year that it is a bit of a challenge to come up with something new … [Read more...] about Annual Ornament

Stampin Up’s Advent Calendar
Last month, I shared that Stampin Up released their very first advent calendar this year. I haven't had a chance to really share what's inside before today. This is what the inside of the box looks like. The calendar is filled with craft supplies. I've only opened a few doors so far, but here's what I've received: a stamp set, matching dies, stencils and a mini blending brush, 6x6 pattern paper, gems, and some paper tags. These products … [Read more...] about Stampin Up’s Advent Calendar
Finished!
Last week, I shared a project that I was working on, an advent calendar that is a village of tiny houses. I was able to finish all the decorations on my tiny village over the weekend. I added a lot of snow to the village, both to the rooftops and to the ground. I used almost a half a bottle of glue on the snow. You can see a close up view of the snow on the village below. I found some miniature deer and wreaths that I added as well. … [Read more...] about Finished!
Tis The Season
I actually haven't done any baking yet this year. Usually by now, I've made my rum cake at least once and usually some cookies too. Hopefully, I'll have a chance to make something before the holidays. I found a card similar to this one but it used Valentine's stamps and dies. I thought it would be a fun card to recreate as a Holiday card. The Homemade Treats bundle is filled with lots of little baking treats and accessories. I used the … [Read more...] about Tis The Season

Queen Of Unfinished Projects
Yep, that's me. Every Christmas Holiday, I have a list of things I want to make and it usually takes me longer than I anticipate to complete each project. I bought this particular item back in August and it's been sitting on my counter waiting to be decorated. I started working on it right after Thanksgiving weekend and was able to decorate most of it. But then ran out of time to complete it. And there it still sits on my counter, waiting … [Read more...] about Queen Of Unfinished Projects
Once Last Delivery!
I really like using these little frames to make small home decor pieces. I can use them by themselves or group it with some other small decor pieces or add it to my tiered tray. There are so many places I can use these. I love how the bunny is in such a hurry, the cards are flying out the back of his truck. I promise, this is the last Jolly Delivery project I'm posting... at least for this week. I have really enjoyed using this Suite, but it … [Read more...] about Once Last Delivery!
