Almost There

Only seven more letters to go! Hopefully my cousin enjoys putting pictures and little stories in here as much as I have enjoyed putting it all together.

Here we have snowy accents using chunky white glitter

Glossy accents on the bubbles and eyes and some fish and turtle beads to complete the under water scent

Mr. Raccoon has some satin / felt pumpkins he lifted from a near by garden

I think this one is my favorite so far with all the sweet little buttons!

A Winter Wonderland...

This was our yard on the weekend.  We don't have much snow (enough for the little skidoo though based on all those tracks!) But it sure has been frosty! Just LOVE it!

Happy New Year!

I have to apologize for my extended absence - internet wasn't working over the holidays which in a way was fortuitous as instead of checking out your tube and pinterest on my time off I was actually productive!  Just about finished my alphabet book, got a calendar done for my parents (of course forgot to take pictures before I sent it off), got a quilt ready to assemble, cleaned up the entire house (i mean closets, chandeliers, under the beds and everything!) but most importantly my room is looking pretty neat and tidy and I got 18 projects ready for my upcoming stamp club classes - woo hoo!

the jelly fish is highlighted with micro beads

the koala has been flocked so is nice and fuzzy

used flower soft on the lions mane to add dimension

monkey has a real vine to swing from

I tired to make it look like ice over the narwhal

and Mr. Octopus has lumpy and bumpy pearls on his head that look and feel cool

The Next Installment F-I

I had a few spare moments the last couple weeks to work on my Alphabet Book again.  Its hard being creative under pressure!  I was suppose to be working a calendar for my parents for Christmas instead.  So you know what I will be doing the next two evenings... Unfortunately it will be a throw together but they will love it, damn it!

The froggy has colorful sequins on his body, the giraffe's spots are sparkly, the hawk has real feathers to pet, and Mr. Iguana has been sprayed with shimmer spray. THAT was funny because when Nicholas saw that he asked if it was sunscreen (because lizards live in the dessert where there is a lot of bright sunshine - you know mom).

Two More Sleeps...

Can't wait to see what Santa brought me!  Well actually I know but I can't wait until I am actually allowed to use it.  Apparently I have been a very good girl this year - LOL

The Countdown is on...

And the panic button has been deployed (several times).  SO much for thinking this year will be different. Different as in STRESS FREE and RELAXING!  Next year I am suggesting a trip!

You Know When...

Its time to vacuum when the back hoe has to come out to assist with the house cleaning!  Well at least he was able to make chores fun...   We might have the place cleaned up in time for Christmas yet.
