GO HAWKS!!!

In honor of the Seahawks I made this little decorative ribbon thingy...

 

The Seahawks have come a long way, and getting in the Superbowl is a HUGE accomplishment. Hope they do well!

Holiday Gifts

The holidays are always a fun but hectic season. Doing some shopping, making last minute gifts - I like that last part the best.

This year I made these candy jars for my friends. Here's an empty one to show the details better.

 

 

I've finally learned how to use my Silhouette to cut vinyl. Here are the jars with candy in them. Who doesn't love candy, right?

 

 

I finished them by putting each one in a plastic bag and attaching my homemade Christmas tags.

 

 

They are so easy to make! I had so much fun that me and my girls decided to make some for my friends' dogs as well. They are Jake and Snowball.

 

 

We filled them with dog treats.

 

 

Now I have another idea for next year's craft fair. Have a wonderful happy new year, everyone!!!

 

More Craft Fair Projects

I finished three craft fairs this season and I must say it was a lot of fun! I enjoyed talking to the customers and sharing my projects with them. I'm almost out of inventory, so this is a good excuse for me to start creating again. Well, after I clean out my craft room. It looks like a tornado went through there!

Anyway, here are some projects that are new this year.

I am OBSESSED with making tags this season, ever since I got this tag die from Papertrey Ink.

Of course, I have to make these post-it note holders...notice the middle one with the rubber duckie? It reminds me of one of my favorite songs sung by Ernie from Sesame Street!

More post-it note holders...I love using stickers and stamps with quotes.

This is a project I saw online...cute and easy to make.

Looking forward to making more fun projects in the new year!!!

I'm still here...really!

Maintaining a blog, I realize, is pretty challenging especially when there are a thousand and one other things going on. I have been working on different projects ever since the summer but for some reason I haven't uploaded them. Now that craft fair season is here again, I have been trying my best to get stuff ready. Here are some projects that I will be selling this year...

Post-it note holders are always a big seller.

 

 I have these tissue holders...I enjoy using different fabrics for this project.



 

 Notebooks with inspirational quotes made especially for teachers.

 

 

I'll be back  with some other projects that I am working on... Have a good week ahead everyone!!!





 

Another Name Card

One of my daughter's best friends celebrated her birthday and I decided to make her a name card. Paige, my daughter's friend, is very passionate about ballet so I used that theme for her card.

Here's the front of the card:

 

When you open it up, it shows her whole name.

 

As usual, I used my trusty Cricut for the letters, cardstock and stickers from Joann's and Hobby Lobby.

 

 

I'm still here...

I know it's been a while - there has been so much going on. I survived another school year, packed to move to a new school building, had my daughter's 8th grade graduation, and celebrated her graduation with a party at our home. Whew!!! June was CRAZY! I am glad we were able to go on a much needed vacation after everything. Now I am settled at home and after cleaning the house and doing piles of laundry I am ready to do some crafting.

As usual, I was asked to make cards for the staff members leaving our school. These are the ones I came up with.
               
                            

I was finally able to use my Silhouette to make this adorable card. I purchased the file from the Silhouette Online Store.

Here's another one that I made. It's one of my favorite projects.

This post has information on how to make these purses.

I will post other projects that I am working on. I am also getting ready for some craft fairs this coming fall. Later!!!

Cake Slice Money Holder

A friend had a birthday recently and I made her this little cake slice to put her gift in. Her name obviously starts with a "G". It's so fun decorating these cake slices. I love playing with colors and textures. The lace detail was a last minute decision - I think it works better that plain ribbon. Looks like delicious icing!
