What's been going on in my world & another blog giveaway!!!!!!!

It feels so good to have some time to update by blog with what's been going on in my world. 

• Thanksgiving - We took the boys to David's parents house in Maryland and had a wonderful time.  We spent Thanksgiving at David's parents and had lots of great food, and lots of fun playing both Shanghi Rummi the adults)  and Cars Uno (David and I played Uno with the little once, much more our speed).  On Friday we went to the Gaylord Ice Spectacular at the National Harbor right outside Washington, D.C.  It was so fun!!!  You got to walk thru a HUGE ice sculpture exhibit. 
   

We had a really nice dinner and took some pictures outside of the shops at the harbor.  Zachary, Julia, Cameron and Alex all outside the super, HUGE tree at the National Harbor!  It was a cold day, and the wind just chilled every bone! 

Can you believe this is ALL made from ice.  The displays were just AMAZING!!!!  I think this was one of my favorites!

Yes, they are all sitting on this sleigh made completly from ice!! They were happy there was a pad on the seat or they would have had some COLD bum's! 

Yes, they even had a slide made from ice! I was so happy with this picture of Alex!!  I didn't want to crop it because I wanted to be able to see the slide above him.  Isn't it cool?

So here's the last picture I want to show you.  It's a picture I took while we were at the National Harbor and thought it would be very interesting to use in a little contest.  Whoever, guesses what it is, you're name will be placed in a drawing to win a little giveaway from me.  OK, here it is. 

Good Luck to all that try and guess.  My hubby said it would be so easy to know what this is, so we'll see!

Ok, so what else has been going on...

• Flipping:  My dad just purchased another house to flip and I've been crazy busy working over at the house during the day.  I've hung drywall, ripped out some built-in cabinets in the kitchen and have primed pretty much all the wood trim.  It's been fun working with my dad again.  I haven't worked with him since I was a teenager working at their pizza shops.
• Giftmaking: I finished another homemade gift.  It's a pair of slippers that I knitted for a special somebody this Christmas. 
• Stamping: I am about to start my Christmas cards this week.  Since we put our tree up this weekend, we can now take our annual picture of the boys in front of our Christmas Tree.  
• •  
• Baking:  I was just in a cookie exchage and made 19 dozen biscotti's to share.  Check out my packaging.  I was really happy with how they turned out! 
• •  I used Stamin' UP!'s new Serene Snowflakes Stamp Set (LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT), Chocolate Chip, Real Red, and Whisper White Craft Ink, Alpine Ribbon, Punch Pals Hostess Stamp Set, and Grateful Greetings Stamp Set (from the Holiday Mini). 

I hope you enjoyed seeing what's going on in my world.  I hope you all are enjoying the Holiday Buzz that's in the air.

HUGE STAMPIN' UP! SALE, AND A PRIZE GIVEAWAY TOO!

Hi Everybody,
 
I wanted to tell you that I'm so sorry that my Merry Christmas Mystery Workshop had to be cancelled.  While we thought we finally got the plumbing taken care of on Saturday, I have a plumber here today, and my little Alex decided yesterday was a good day to find out he has an ear infection. 
 
Well, it's not all bad I guess.  The plumber said he thinks he can get the drain cleared ( I hope sooner than later!!...I need some clean laundry), and Alex has started an antibiotic yesterday, so we should be good while were away.

Homemade Jelly and an Invitation!

Good Morning,

Just a quick post this morning before I get the boys up and ready for school.  I have lots to do today to finish up for my first ever, Merry Christmas, Mystery Hostess Workshop. 

I wanted to share the other two jelly jars that I covered to give as Christmas gifts.  The boys and I made homemade Concord Grape Jelly to give their teachers this year.  I have them all wrapped and ready to give.  I LOVE homemade jelly, I hope their teachers do too!

I used Stampin' UP!'s Merry Moments Christmas paper, Level 2 Hostess Set, Chocolate Chip, Real Red, and Ivory Cardstock.  I also grabbed some of the clearance ribbon that you can still get on-line.  You get three spools of ribbon for a GREAT PRICE. CHECK IT OUT ON MY SU WEBSITE!  YOU CAN ONLY PURCHASE THIS RIBBON ONLINE!
  

 

For this jar, I used the new Stampin' UP! Sparkly & Bright stamp set, ribbon that is also on clearance (while supplies last), Chocolate Chip, Real Read, and Whisper White Cardstock. 

I also wanted to share with you a super fun Saturday that I have planned. If you live in the Pittsburgh area and are free this Saturday, I'd love to have you join us for a really great time!

It's all about PRESENTATION!!

I know we've all heard, that the most important part of a gift is the presentation.  Well, I couldn't agree with that more!  Most of my gifts are made and now I'm ready to wrap!  This is definitely my favorite part of the Holidays!!!

Remember when I shared the gray cable knit scarf I knitted?  Well, I just finished packaging it up and placing the finishing touches on the box.

I LOVE packing up gifts, especially when they're homemade!  I used an old shoebox, painted it, and Modge Podged Stampin' UP! Designer Series Paper over the sides and the top of the lid.  I then stamped tissue paper with a two different size snowflake stamps to place inside the box..

 

Finally, I made a gift tag for the outside of the box.

 

Sorry, I can't show you the inside of the gift card,  I don't' want to spoil the surprise for the lucky person that get's to open this special gift. I stamped and embossed a main snowflake and used my Stampn' UP! White Craft Ink to stamp some more snowflakes on the outside of the card. 

The inside reads, "____, may you always be wrapped with a warm Heart!  And of course I punched out another red heart to place where the word Heart would read...just an extra cute little touch.

I hope you liked my gift wrapping!

 

Is it a Handbag, Gift Bag, or Project Tote?

Well, it could definitely be any of the above!  Isn't this the cutest Holiday Bag?

I saw a bag very similar to this one a couple of weeks ago at my Stampin' UP! Upline's house and knew I wanted to hurry home and try to make one of my own.  I just needed to a few tweaks to it to make it my own.  Her bag didn't have ribbon around to to hold it together or as handles, and I have to say that I really do like how soft and festive it makes the bag.  I used Stampin' UP! Designer Series Paper, Stampin' UP! Double Sided Ribbon, some buttons, and the cutest metal snowflake that I've had in my stash for quite some time!

It's SUPER sturdy (I had three jars of jelly and a bunch of projects that I made (the wooden letters from an earlier post), and the base didn't sag at all.  It measures about 8*x8* is around 4" deep.  IT"S SOOO STINKING CUTE.  I will definitely be making more!!!

Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

Here is the inside...isn't it soooo cute. 

 

I hope you enjoyed the project today! Have a wonderful week!

 

Oh my goodness!!! I feel so honored!

On Friday, I entered something that I've made to a blog challenge.  Now, I would have to say it's not just any blog.  It was the Cards Blog.  If you haven't seen this blog, it's wonderful. I'm sure you've seen their books and magazines on the craft store shelves.

Well, I was HONORED when I saw that they posted my Thanksgiving place cards on their blog as one of their favorites.  I was sitting here this evening unwinding from a busy weekend, looking thru some blogs, and thought...ehhhh what the heck, I'll check it out.  And, sure enough.....my little place cards were there.

If you get a chance go to the Cards Blog and scroll down and you'll see my Thanksgiving place cards.  The picture on the place cards is Cameron when he was just a couple of years.old.  They were great place settings because it was great for everybody to try and figure out who each baby picture was.  What a great conversation piece to have and a great way to get your guests talking about old times!

Here is a picture of my place cards!

 
 
 I also wanted to share a picture I took in mid-October when we went to Sorgel's Orchard.  With everything going on in October, I never got a chance to share these two little cuties with you.

 

Have a great evening.  I'll have another SUPER cute Christmas project tomorrow.

Goodnight!

 

Another Homemade Gift to Share!

Hello Everybody,

If you don't know my Christmas motto this year, it's quite simple, "Give from the Heart, Give Homemade" .  I think this is the perfect time for all of us to get back to the basics!  What better gift than to give a little part of yourself in something that you make.

I have just a few minutes free to post another Christmas gift I made this week.  I decorated these wooden letters with the new Stampin' UP! Merry Moments Designer Series Paper (all four prints are fro mthe same Merry Moments Pack), a few buttons, and a metal snowflake that I had in my older stash of goodies. I borrowed my dad's scroll saw with hopes to make lots more of these great little words.  Stay tuned to see what I come up with!

Ahh, another Christmas gift made!!!

REMEMBER..."Give from the Heart, Give Homemade"
