5 things about being a crafter

I craft because it makes me smile
I craft because it gives me a constructive outlet
I craft because I love to create
I craft because its something I can do with my kids
I craft because I love to make other people smile!:)

I got this award and I am so glad I did. Thank you Traci!!

Ladies when accepting this award, you must list 5 things about yourself (including why you like crafting), pass it on to 5 others, and when you post the award to your sidebar, the award creator would like the award linked to her gracenotes4today

Here are 5 things about me

  1. Crafting really frees my mind from stress without it I would lose my mind.
  2. My favorite part of crafting comes at the end of a project     {The Details}
  3. I enjoy making cards for family & friends but sometimes I forget to mail them. {I am working on that}
  4. I don't have any animals not because I don't like them but I like having a Poop Free backyard.
  5. I knew I was addicted to crafting when I choose to buy punches & paper over a pair of pumps.
Here are the 5 ladies that I am passing this award to.

I used Gypsy Font and some vinyl to make these cute bow holders as a gift. I got some plain wood at Michael's then I painted them pink and sprinkled glitter dust on them. Then I added the vinyl letters and the flourish and dragonfly from Gypsy wanderings. I bought the wooden butterfly at Michael's and glued them on. I used a sure bonder staple gun to attach the ribbon so it could hold weight .  This project was a lot of fun to make:)



Then I bought a letter G at Michael's and decided to make it a bow holder too.

create a critter is still my fav cart








SO here are just some of the cards I have made recently using this cart. All are made using scraps from my paper stash.


Here is a card that my daughter made using this cartridge. This was her first card she made with this cartridge:)

Personalized Gifts to go in a hurry:)


I was in a hurry to give a cute gift. So I whipped up a baby changing pad and matching baby wipe case and then I made a coordinating pillow. I also monogrammed the baby's name. Here are the pics before and after. (not in that order for some reason lol! But,, Hope you like them:)

Now I am getting into paper crafting and I LOVE L O V E it!!

Victoria's banner




I made this with the lettering delights pennants. I cut them out on my cricut and then I inked the edges, cut some letters and glued them on and strung them on heavy twine. Bing, bang boom and it was done. Supe fast and super easy:)

Thank you Momo!

Wow. That was so kind of Momo to help so many of us have new friends and followers. I think we should all send her a card to thank her!

So here is the diaper cake I made for a baby shower recently.   It was alot of fun to make.

Also I want you guys to look at this cool video that a friend of mine made for my daughter and her journey through Cancer at the age of 8. So, here is the link I hope it works:)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EisgwRnKOEk
