Christopher's Creations

I almost forgot! My son, Christopher, is so creative! While I have to use idea books or magazines for inspiration, he comes up with his own ideas. Here's the cards he made over the weekend. I'm so proud of him!

Weekend Creativity!

Had some friends over for some much needed "girl time". The hubs was out of town so I set the tables up, served Mimosas and enjoyed the day. Here's a few things I made:


Here's a close up of a few of the cards I made:







Ok, I'm off. Gonna see if I can sneak in a few more cards this evening.

Adornit Blog Hop!

Hi all! Hope you're having fun and feeling inspired as you hop around today. If this is your first blog stop of the day, you need to actually start here. This is my first time EVER posting anything for a Blog Hop! I'm so excited. I made two projects to share:



I apologize in advance for the pictures - I'm not the best photographer. Anyway, every year I make glass ornaments with my son. They are so simple but so much fun to make. You can get the glass ornaments from Michaels; four come in a pack. I filled mine with shredded Christmas paper and little silver stars (and of course you can't see them). You can also use 1/2 inch,
12x12 strips of paper that have been wrapped around a pencil to curl and then dropped through the top. Then I used some Making Memories rub-ons and added a cute little SEI tag from their Christmas Mint Collection embellished with a Making Memories Mistletoe star. Done - I told you it was simple.



Next, for my card I used the Top Note Die from Stampin' Up for the background adding a strip of adhesive paper ribbon from K&Company Smitten Collection; The tree stamp is from Pink Paislee's Tinsel Town Collection; added some glitter and bling. The greetings stamp is from the Spritz stamp set by American Crafts. I topped the card off with a little ribbon and a snowflake from Dazzlers by Petaloo. I wish the glitter came out better in the picture!



Thanks for stopping by! Now hop on over here and see what Michelle Price has to inspire you with! We're Making Merry today!

Join the fun!

Not Such a Good Day

OK...I admit it. I'm not having a good day today. Why do I feel guilty? Why do I feel like I'll never be the same again...I mean, I lost my mom only 9 month ago. It still feels so real - so permanent. I can't explain it. Every night I sit here in my house and cry - missing her beyond words. I think of all the things she's missing out on. But most of all, I really think about all the things my son, Christopher, and nephew, Jake, are missing out on with their Grandma...I'm sorry all - I really hate this...I really miss my mom...

Sunday Greetings

Hello! We are back from the lake. The weather was absolutely beautiful. Hot during the day and crisp at night. A few more weekends and we will be packing it up for the season. Always makes me a little sad but then it also reminds me the holidays are right around the corner and who doesn't love that! I took a ton of pictures this weekend. I'm happy about that since I've been remiss in my responsibilities throughout summer. I think I might have made up for it this weekend! I'll get them downloaded soon so I can share a few.

Anyway, it's gonna be a short post today. Time for dinner. Hope everyone had a great weekend.
