Glittery Valentines Day Tag
Happy New Year! I look forward to sharing lots of fun, new, handmade goodies made with Stampin' Up! product this year! We'll start with this fun Valentine Tag! Do you see anything new on here?

Everyday Enchantment Card Keeper
Here's a quick project to share with you. I made this card keeper for my mom, filled with 30 handmade cards, for Christmas using the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series paper which will be free with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration. It's such lovely paper! I wanted to show you the three boxes I made for my children's teachers, using paper from the same pack, unfortunately, I forgot to take a pictures before they were given. I love these card keepers! I hope they will be available in the future but at this point, we don't know. If you want to purchase any, be sure to do so by Continue reading
Petal Cone Christmas Ornament with 2nd Grade
I thought I'd take a moment to share what I made with Micah's 2nd grade class yesterday. I helped them make these Petal Cone ornaments, complete with a candy cane inside, to take home and hang on their tree. It's not overly fancy but this was plenty to tackle when you have 6 kids at a time for 15 minutes. We were moving. Unfortunately, in the craziness of the moment I never even gave a thought to taking any pictures there at school. In fact, I realized I forgot to even take pictures of the gifts I made for Micah and Jaan's teachers. I was really wanting to share those with to you too! Continue reading
Handmade Christmas Treat Project
A friend gave me the idea for this cute little Christmas treat holder when I was away on my RAD trip. I knew right away we would be making them at the Stampin' Christmas Party! They're so simple and fun to make! Of course we had to put some yummy chocolate inside! These would make great party favors or treats for children to hand out in their class. I could see a big basket of these sitting in the teacher's lounge at a school too as a little extra thank you! I would appreciate your continued prayers for my husband. We are to return to the doctor this afternoon for a painful Continue reading
Scrapbook In A Day Peek
Isn't this scrapbook beautiful? This is a peek at the Cherry Cobbler 6x6 scrapbook we will be filling in the Scrapbook In A Day class in January. We're going to have so much fun! Here's one of the layouts. We will create pages to fill the entire book during the class and I anticipate it will take 2 hours or less to complete them, minus the pictures. Who can pass that up? The class is after Christmas so you can use your pictures from this Christmas or you could use pictures from over the years. If you would like to join us, here's the class information: 6x6 Scrapbook in a Continue reading
Christmas Giftables Class Journal
I'm excited to share a couple examples of the journal we are making in the Christmas Giftables class! If you're like me, I'm a matchy matchy sort of person, I love to have coordinating goodies. I made this journal/notebook with it's bookmark and coordinating pen to go on my desk in the StampThat! classroom. I love the fact that it matches my memo board and file folders and so on and so forth! Those attending the Christmas Giftables class also get to make a set to give as a gift this Christmas (whether to a friend or yourself!) So far, they have been a bit hit! Each journal is going to Continue reading
Christmas Giftables Class Project
Here's a peek at one of the gifts we are making in the Christmas Giftables Class right now. We are making this cute picture holder! It would also work nicely for a place card holder or a little sign. Beautiful don't you think? Here's a close-up view of the ornament. I love the Silver Glimmer Northern Flurry snowflake inside the ornament! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends! Continue reading

This tree, along with 4 beautiful handmade ornaments makes for one fun class! Thank you to all who have attended! Happy day-before-Thanksgiving! It's time for some cleaning and cooking around here!

Thanksgiving Turkey with Pretzel Legs
I thought you might like to see the turkey I'm going to be creating with a class of kindergarteners this morning. Isn't he cute? I've pre-made the lollies for the body but they will put together the face and put some pretzel sticks into 1"x8" bags to create his legs. My kindergartner is excited about making one, I hope the others will be as well! A certain someone who visits this website took a picture of the gift I mentioned yesterday with the swirly ornament attached to it. Thank you! Isn't it fun to see that cute swirly on there? Don't forget the Holiday Extravaganza that's Continue reading
Handmade Swirly Christmas Ornament
Last week I had to ask some Christmas Card Class members to switch over to an overflow class on another night. Those who did so were able to make this lovely Christmas ornament after their cards as a little thank you. Isn't it lovely? As you know, I'm a sucker for swirlies! I saw an ornament like this on another blog This swirly is made from Brushed Gold cardstock and Champagne Glass Glitter. This ornament is so cute hanging from a wrapped package or gift bag too! I wrapped a gift in a dark green wrapping paper with some gold ribbon and then hung an ornament like this from the bow. Continue reading
