Christmas tags

I guess I was in a tag mood today!






My favorite, for now, is the one with 2 pink snowflakes.

Which is YOUR favorite?

I cannot contain myself!

These little baskets are ADORABLE!! and EASY!! I am so excited I can't contain myself!!

I found the tutorial on Chicnscratch.



Imagine the gazillion goodies that can go in that little basket!

5 am crafting

Since I was up early again this morning, I sat at my craft table (which is my kitchen table) and worked on another card (CASE'd from someone on Splitcoast as usual)

Maelie was up by 5:30 and joined me! She decided to emboss and emboss and emboss some more Christmas pictures! :) Since I let her use the heat tool, now this is all she wants to do!

Here is the card I completed with a little treat cup and holly sprinkles inside! I figured I would put a french greeting on a few cards.

Christmas cards

I've started working on easy Christmas cards this past week. My friend Natalie and I will be holding various workshops in the weeks coming up and on of them will be Christmas cards.

Below are samples that I have been working on. If you are in the area, and wish to join, let me know.

Please note: the pictures really do not do them justice :)

Halloween craft get together

Yesterday, as mentioned in the previous post, Natalie and I hosted a Halloween crafts workshop. We had 3 wonderful guests join us for this event! Can you believe that my hands were so busy the WHOLE time that I didn't even get one picture while everyone was there?

I did take a few pics of the snacks before everyone arrived!



Those mini caramel apples were pretty popular!

We crafted for just over 3 hours... I would have kept on going for much more! We had planned 6 crafts, but ended up only making 4 due to running out of time! :)

Natalie and I are hoping to host a Christmas workshop as well. From what we understand, there is a high demand for fun stuff like this!! If anyone is interested in joining us for our Christmas events, please let me know! They are free events when you bring your materials.

A surprise for me!

Yesterday my friend Natalie and I hosted a Halloween craft workshop. She brought me the most awesome card & box ever! I absolutely LOVE them! So much work and thoughtfulness was put into these gifts. I am truly a sucker for paper crafting!

Here is the boo-tiful card:



Here is the box:



and the inside of the box:



Thank you Natalie!!

More party stuff

This morning I was up before the crack of dawn, just past 3:00 am. I have so many thing to prepare for Maelie's Halloween party that instead of sitting quietly in the living room at the computer, I started production right away! I am glad I did as I accomplished a lot in the wee hours.



Here are mummy's I made last night with some gauze bandages and taffy suckers. Those suckers were hard to find! I ended up getting them at a candy store near my mom's house. This idea comes from Fun Snacks 4 Kids.

This morning, I made these bones. I got the idea from "Ghoulish Goodies", a book by Sharon Bowers. It is FULL or wonderful ideas for Halloween.



They are made of small pretzel sticks, mini marshmallows and white chocolate. I think they make a nice party food.
