Thursday Show & Tell

I have the best of intentions of being a better blogger, but lets face it I am boring!! I pretty much do the same thing daily, weekly, monthly. But this month I am attending Kim's fabulous event plus I am hosting a swap at her event. Talk about being out of my comfort zone hosting a swap. I have had fun creating fabric books for the members of my swap. Can't wait to see what each one has created to be put in the book.


The exterior of the house is done and the air conditioner is due for repair tomorrow so I think I am set for a few months ha ha.
Last night was Stampin Up nite at Jan's. I think we talk and laugh as much as we create. Jan had 3 unique cards for us to make. I think my favorite was the Halloween card with the window bubble. This is a new product from Stampin Up and it is going to have many uses. Funny as when I saw it in the catalog I thought no way don't need. As usual when I was able to actually see it and work with it I decided I had to have it!
So here are the 3 cards we made with the new stamp sets and colors. Fun fun night





So one more day of work and then it is a long weekend yeah!!
I hear some wind, some thunder, and a bit of lightening maybe we might get some rain tonight. Keeping my fingers crossed

The Stockings Were Hung

Image
I hosted a small group for a Christmas Stocking Swap. I kept the group small due to my time and work constraints and deadlines I was facing. My idea for the swap came from a wonderful online class I took with Nancy Maxwell James of Sugar Lump Studios . I really enjoyed her class and all her helpful tips and so the idea was born. I assigned secret partners, to each of the members as well as a Dec 10th deadline. Christine suggested we all wait and open our boxes on the same day. So today is the reveal. The stocking are gorgeous and it has been fun as the photos came in to see how each of us interpreted the theme. We designed and filled our stockings with goodies and then mailed to our partner. Below are the photos of our stockings and a little thank you I sent to each of the gals. The stockings are in no particular order just how they came up on the computer. I am already thinking of next year :) and what we could do and to being more organized time wise so I can invite more ga

Today: Chaos, Cooking, Cleaning and Creating

Image
What a day. I think I put the "Labor" into Labor Day. After yesterday, where I basically sat all day I needed to get going. And get going I did. From laundry to cleaning to grocery shopping to creating I have had a busy day. I have decided that what I eat sucks. I rarely cook a good meal and then at bedtime I am back to starving. So in my great wisdom I decided I needed to get with it and start fixing better meals for myself. Cooking for 1 is not the most inspiring thing. I am so used to cooking for larger groups and I tend to make too much. any how armed with a list for the grocery store and determination I headed out. I shopped and shopped, loaded all the groceries into the car and unloaded all the groceries from the car when I got home. From there it was a whirlwind of mixing and making my meals for the week. But let's be honest I probably made enough for 2 weeks plus. Groceries waiting to be put away and made into meals It only took about 30 minutes to whip this all t
