A Bit of Blarney

I've had a request for a punch art class and since I haven't done one in a very long time, I thought it was a great idea. 

The class is this coming Thursday and I am prepping for it now. 

Just finished this little guy this afternoon and thought I'd share it with all of you. 

I think the class ladies will like him. He's awfully cute!

What do you think?

A Little Sparkle

Well, I'm not even going to try and excuse the fact that I've been WAY neglecting my blog.
Obviously the Christmas season must have done me in.

I return with a picture of a box I made with the new Window Box Thinlet dies.
I spent the day with my upline a couple of days ago and she had done one like this in red for Valentines Day.  I, of course, just had to have one and she was kind enough to let me cut one out.
I did mine up in pink so that it would be perfect for Easter or Mothers Day.

The box can be found on page 43 of the Occasions Catalog, and if you bundle it with the Wimdow Shopping stamp set on the same page,you can save 10% on both.

Little Treats

Thought I'd quickly post a picture of the cute little Christmas treat boxes I made yesterday. Two of them are made using, our little 2" clear boxes, the larger one our new 3" white boxes with clear sleeves. The penguin is made using part of our curvy treat box. This little guy was Rae's design. Isn't he cute?

I also used the little 2" clear boxes to make this box of "Bugs and Kisses"

I'll take the kisses....you can keep the bugs. LOL

Three Alarm Cuteness

Well, yesterday held another example of Megan's fabulous Halloween costumes. As I showed in an earlier post, the two boys were firefighters. They were special enough, but in addition Megan became a dalmatian and Mike a fire hydrant. I cracked up when he came walking out in his costume. He's such a good sport. But even that was not enough for my Megan. To top it all off, Landon's wagon became a firetruck. She works so hard to make things wonderful for those boys!

For me, the best part of the evening was before the trick or treating. There is a fire station near their house and we stopped by there to take pictures of the boys by the sign. Turned out they had some candy to hand out, so the boys went up. When the fire fighters saw them they insisted we needed pictures. They opened the doors, took pictures of the boys on the truck, and were sure to give them stickers before we left. Landon was over the moon and I was so impressed by them being so kind. 

Spell Check

Well, obviously I'm still doing poorly at keeping up with my postings, but a dopey thing happened to me just now and I thought I'd pop a quick note here about it.

The doggone spell check on my phone is constantly correcting me to say something I didn't intend to say.

This morning I sent an email to a customer about a replacement of her SU trimmer and instead of SU trimmer, I suggested a SUPERANTISPYWARE trimmer. Good grief!

Anyway, I sent her another email with a correction and told her that I'm sure a Deluxe SUPERANTISPYWARE Cutter would be much more costly.

I really need to start proof reading everything I send.
            HKGRRHGG....LOL!!!

Build-A-Tag

Today I attended Rae's Build-A-Tag event. For the first part of the day I got a few things of my own done and then made all of these great Christmas tags.

If I Only Had a Brain

My darling, do everything right, perfectionist of a daughter, Megan gets an extra gold mommy star today.
Today was the Fall Festival at Landon's preschool, and bless her heart she put her nose to the grind stone and made it happen.
Here is my adorable grandson as a scarecrow. Incredible!

She got this all together, even making the hat herself, and stopping at Walmart on the way to school to get the stuff to color his face with. (Which was done in the Walmart parking lot) When Landon fussed about standing still for this whole costume thing she told him all the other kids are going to be dressed up, don't you want to be dressed up like your friends?  She arrives at school, takes Landon in, and no one else, not even one child dressed up as a scarecrow at all. The closest thing was a child sporting a bandana. Unbelievable! Happily, Landon didn't seem to mind a bit.

She then brought Levi to me for babysitting and went back to school as a volunteer for the day. Where she says she spent a lot of time following Landon around picking up pieces of straw.
My sweet girl. I'm so glad she got a good laugh out of it.

PS...I got one too :)
