Thankful

I had a great day yesterday celebrating Thanksgiving with family and friends. Here we all are getting ready to dive into a roasted butternut squash soup with crabmeat - yum!




On another note, what fun to come to my blog and see comments posted on the Papertrey blog hop post - was not expecting that! Thanks for all the niceness!

Maybe this will be an incentive to participate in more challenges and post.

Have a great day.

Papertrey Ink November Blog Hop

I finally am going to participate in a challenge or in this case blog hop. This one is perfect because I do love making tags - they are just so fun to make. Here are two different tags I made using the stocking stamp set. Can I say how excited I was when they came out with the die cut.

Then I wanted to have a bag to tie the tag on to so I made one. It makes coordination so easy. I will use this to pack up a few biscotti cookies - perfect size.

Well, I finally did it - a challenge - now to go link at Papertrey Ink.

Happy Thanksgiving!

A little treat

Sarah went to San Antonio for a journalism competition and I thougt I would tuck a little treat in her bag. It is Chex muddy buddy mix - our favorite. Hope she enjoyed it.

Quick birthday tag

Sarah had a birthday party this evening and put together this very cute gift bucket - she asked me to make a tag for it.

Here's a closer look at the tag -

We both thought it added a finishing touch to a great gift.

Thank you card

Needed a thank you card today and thought I would pull out some Stampin' Up! supplies. Stampin' Up is what hooked me on to stamping about 8 years ago; I am what would be considered a hobby demonstrator. I used only SU products for quite a long time and then I eventually branched out to all the many new companies that have sprung up over the last few years. I still do love SU; I love the way all their products are coordinated - makes things quick and easy!

On another note, Zach got a belated birthday gift this weekend!

With all the rain I could only get a picture in the garage...

Mother's Day

Mother's Day was filled with performances of Mary Poppins; Sarah performed 2 shows on Sunday and that is where we visited the mothers in our family.

She did a wonderful job and the entire show was great!

Little notebooks

I am hooked on making these little notebooks that I found on Michelle Wooderson's blog. I have followed her blog forever and love her style.

I also love Papertrey Ink. Michelle created the set 'take note' that I used here.

On to the project!
