Busy, Busy, Busy

This has been a crazy couple of weeks around here!!! I have been busy, busy, busy making cards, gift tags, and gift card holders for the upcoming Craft Fair. It is this Saturday, November 14th at Alex Hope Elementary School from 9:30 to 3:00. 21150 85th Ave in Walnut Grove. So far I have 111 cards made, 50 gift tags and 22 gift card holders. My craft room looks like a Hallmark cutting room the day after the Christmas Cards get shipped to the stores!!! Just a little bit of Christmas Chaos!!! Please if you have time, stop by the craft fair on Saturday and pick up some Christmas cards. I also have two 12x12 wall hangings and 2 "card keeper" albums. Lots to see. I will also be taking orders for wall hangings and Christmas cards as well as the usual invites, thank you cards etc.... Come on out and have a look!!

On another note, my blog is up to almost 350 visits. Thank you to all of you for your support, I love looking to see how many people have been looking at my site. It is a fantastic boost to my ego!!

Here is just a small sample of the stock I will have at the Craft Fair.

I know it is a little early, but with all the Christmas spirit in the craft room it makes me feel like it "tis the season already!! Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!

'Tis the Season......

Here is my first batch of Christmas cards. The first group I did today in preparation for the Craft Fair at Alex Hope Elementary that I am attending on the 14th. The next groups are the cards we did at my Card Group. I certainly can't take credit for the designs of those Card Group cards, our leader is a star!!! I think the combinations are beautiful and I can recreate almost all of them, so if there are any that you like let me know and I will see what I can come up with. L. you rock!!! I couldn't do cards like I do if it weren't for all your help over the years!! What would we do without you?! I hope you all like the selections, and remember to come out and have a peak at the craft fair November 14th!!

Where To Find Me

I spent this past weekend at the BC Crop For Kids. A fundraiser for Children's Hospital. What a great event! Friday I made 25 Christmas cards in just over 1 1/2 hours! It was crazy. I can't wait to make a whole bunch more to show you! Then on Saturday night we had two great card classes. Not 25 in less than 2 hours, but great classes none the less!! I will get busy this week and get a whole bunch made to show you. Coming up on November 14th I will be at the Christmas Craft Fair at Alex Hope Elementary. Come on out and have a look at my stock. You will be able to purchase from what is on hand, as well as place custom orders. Now is the time to get your orders in for Christmas Cards!! I will also have that beautiful 12x12 wall hanging on display, that I made for my friend for her birthday. As well as a couple of card keeper albums, always a great idea for storing cards for birthdays and occasions through the year. So mark the date on your calendars - November 14th at Alex Hope Elementary in Walnut Grove in Langley.

A Few New Pictures

Here are a few more pictures. I have been busy getting some cards made so that I have lots of stock for an upcoming Craft Fair. I will post details closer to the date. Tomorrow night I am starting on Christmas cards, so although it is early, if anyone would like Christmas cards, please let me know soon, because before we know it, it will be on top of us, and I won't have the time to complete orders. I hope you like the ones I have added. More to come soon!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!! I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend, with some quiet moments to truly be Thankful for all the blessings in your life. I know I did!!! I had a great family dinner last night at my cousins house. Thanksgiving Turkey is the best one of the year. It's the first one in the season of Turkey. It is always so nice to see the Aunt's, Uncle's and Cousins all together at holiday dinners. Tonight I had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with two special friends and their families. Great food, great laughs and really great people!! I also spent some time this weekend making some new cards. A friend asked me to make a wedding card for her so I got going and made a couple and then kept on truckin'. I pulled out a stamp set that I haven't looked at in a long time. They turned out pretty good. I will keep going and get some more made. All in all a great weekend, with so much to be Thankful for. Thank you to all of you for checking my blog, and supporting me. I love to make cards "on demand" so just let me know if you need anything.

Made it to 200!!!!

No new cards yet, but I just have to tell you all, I just did a little happy dance around my den/craft room!!!! Thank you to all of you! I have had over 200 visitors to my blog. Wow!! 200 views! Who knew anyone would want to look at cards by me!! Thank you!!! Just made my day!!

Ok, so I saw this layout for a card over the summer and thought I would try it. I have made about 5 cards this way now, and I really like how they turned out. It's a fun layout. The last one was just a way to use the polka dot paper and the butterfly. Now that school is back in, and September is almost over I should have some more time to work on cards. I have taken on the position of Pac President at my kids school and that has kept me running for all of September. I am hoping that October slows down to a slow jog, and then I can make some time for sitting at this desk making cards. Keep checking back, I will add new pic's whenever I have anything made. And, once I have some inventory built up I am going to get them into the two stores that I hinted at in the spring. Happy Fall Everyone!!!!!
