Cards for special events

This is my oldest baptism invitation. I wanted something other than the tradition card so I came up with idea from the help of a friend...Thanks Natalie.

This past weekend was another baptism. I took the idea from the first and changed it up a bit. I like the subway art so I used that on the front. (hope you can see it under the 8)

It's fun to create something for someone special and especially when you have one idea in mass production.

Old pants to new shorts

I am so tired of holes in jeans....fixing them with a regular sewing machine only holds for a while so why not change them to shorts but with a little flair.

Can't wait for summer to see my sweet little girl wearing them.

Valentine's Day

Your probably asking what's trail mix got to do with Valentine's Day?Well, I have 4 children and making 4 gifts for teachers sometimes gets expensive. I wanted to come up with something easy. I was thinking a candy treat or flowers but then I thought maybe that's all the teachers get from their students. So I thought of a healthy snack instead and what a better way then to buy in bulk. So I came up with this....

1 cup of trail mix in a ziploc bag. I filled the decorative bag with red streamer or basket filler and then added the ziploc bag, tide up with curly string. I do still need to add the card but it's almost finished and days before valentines too.Cost: $10 for trail mix (only used half the bag so technically only half the cost $5)
the bags and filler I had on hand so free.

Life feels better and better....

It's only been a few weeks since my last post and I'm feeling so much better. The first part of January, the 5th to be exact I've lost 14 lbs. YEAH me!!! I am still working hard to keep myself motivated and positive about life. I have to keep reminding myself to look for the good in life and you will find happiness. Life sometimes goes by to fast for you to sit back and breath and well I have started my breathing again. I love my children!! Especially doing things with them and for them.....With love in the air and trying to come up with something for their teachers. I feel I want to CREATE again. So my mind has been working in the crafting mode again....YEAH!!! Wait for ideas to come soon.......I'm back!
