Christmas 2008

It was a great Christmas.
For the first time, we had matching pjs.
We spent the day just playing games the kids got...it was such a relaxing day.

Gift Card Holders

I love how these came out...I was planning on doing more of them, but just ran out of time.

These cards are based on Susan's sketches from her Card Sketch a Day Blog
The inside of the card is a gift card holder based on this tutorial Hero Arts Blog

Advent Wreath

I helped organize an Advent Wreath Making workshop at my church 3 weeks ago.
I'm so happy with the way it came out and wasn't that difficult to make.

Star Bright Necklace

Here's a necklace I made out of onyx, freshwater pearls and some crystals.
I'm selling this one, if anyone is interested.

New Beginnings

My babies started school last Thursday and this Monday. Matthew is in 2nd grade and Eliana is in pre-school. I can't help thinking how fast these years are going. Matthew already wants to walk by himself to school --absolutely not! I'm not ready to let him go just yet. Here are a couple of LOs documenting the first day of school:

I finally Scrapped!

Here's a page a did for a TSR challenge:
I find that it is taking me too long to make just one layout. It took me forever to finish this.
Hopefully, the mojo will stay around for a while.

One Lonely Sock

This is the Waving Lace Sock pattern from the book:
Favorite Socks 25 Timeless Designs from Interweave
I love the way it came out...but I finished this one in February and I have yet to start the other one.

Black Seed Bead Necklace

Another necklace I made for my friend's jewelry making party tonight. Attendees got to choose one of 3 designs and I'm going to help them make it. It makes for a fun girl's night out! I hope all goes well.

Blue Shell & Pearl Necklace

Here's a necklace I created for my friend's jewelry party.

Rosary for my Brother

This is the Rosary I made for my brother.

He was confirmed last Friday.

I'm so proud of him.

22 years ago

Can you believe that Big M and I have been together now for 22 years!
Today marks the day he and I first kissed and started dating....I know, crazy.
I've known him for more than half my life.
This is one of the first pictures we have together...how funny!

I just LOVE this man!

New Earrings

Here are some earrings I saw in Stringing - Spring 2008 issue and I recreated them. I loved them right away when I saw them in the magazine and I just had to make them. Do you like?
