Cards and gifts.....

Hey everyone, beautiful day out today! It's like 80 degrees! I love it! I wish I had a little less pain from my fibro, but it will be ok! I woke up withe headache of the year the last couple days, it's from my neck pain. I am hoping that maybe with a little more outdoor activity I will start to feel a little better! Meantime, look how sweet.....

I came home from work the other nite to find this, Nicholas was looking thru his picture book (trucks, he loves them) and he just fell asleep. He has been sick off and on for a couple weeks, but he is finally feeling better. First he had a virus that gave him ulcers in his mouth, then he gets a cold. Like I said he is better now! No onto the project I want to share. These are for Teacher appreciation week. They are little peat pots, 3 inch size, decorated a little, I don't like to over do, and some matching cards. I don't have any to show for the other two little cards, because they arenn't done yet,but I'll get the done soon. I am putting little gifts of a little plant they can plant themselves in it, I got at Target at the Dollar spot. I hope to have more projects to share soon! Have a good weekend! Hugs

Look What I Got Today!!!

How cool is that! I ordered that stuff from the Sizzix site, and believe it or not I got it ALL for only $25.87 plus shipping! If anyone knows anything about those die cuts, and I'm sure most do, they are quite expenive! Some of those I bought are worth at least $14.99 for sure! My bill said I saved $81.00!!! I 'm so happy! I am going to share my stuff with a new friend I made thru crafting on Saturday, and we will have a blast cutting all this stuff out! I probably have thousands of dollars worth of stuff I bought over the years, so we should have no problem finding stuff to cut! I just wanted to share! If you get a chance, go on over to Sizzix, they always have a big sale, clearance, deals, etc.! Good service too. I ordered on Easter Sunday, and got it today. I would have gotten it sooner, but I screwed up my address and had to resend the order on Tuesday last week. Well, have a great day! Hugs! Michelle

Good Morning....

I hope all had a good weekend. I had a so so one. I made a couple things, but am only sharing one, since the other pic isn't that great! I'll take another. This pic isn't that great either, but I'm not a professional photographer, I'm a crafter. I like to make things and share pictures of them. I don't have fancy back drops, or a fancy camera. I'm lucky to have the one that I have! I'm just sayin. I had a person e-mail me about my photos. To that person: If you don't like them, dont' look!!! LOL!! Sorry about that, but I would never do that to someone, I am a nice person, who loves anyones' craft pictures, animal pictures, cards, kids, whatever. I am a plain , simple person, who loves my kids, dog, and my crafts, in that order! LOL! Anyway, enough of that, point made. Here is my clay pot table I made for my patio.

I love to paint. I'm not a pro at that either, but I do what I do, and everyone always likes it. Matter of fact, I have a couple orders already, because I was sitting on my front stoop painting these and a neighbor stopped by and admired and loved it, and ordered 2! I am going to make me a patriotic one, and watermelon themeed one for the patio. Anyway, I just wanted to share, and sorry about the rant about the pics, but I am appalled at peoples guts to tell another crafter thier pics are less than perfect and I should try harder. I love to visit all your blogs, and love all your ideas, projects, pictures, and your accounts of your days. Hugs to you all!

A couple Easter crafts I made this week!

I made these for Nicholas' Kindergarten class. He loves to take things in to class and share! I have always done this for all my kids. I enjoy it! The teachers love it too. I always have something on hand for someone at any holiday time. Anyway, I hope you have a great Easter, and eat lot's of chocolate! I know I will! Hugs, Michelle

Silly Sally

I thought I'd share a pic of my silly dog. She lays in the strangest places. I caught her on the top of a bunch of pillows on the back of the couch. She looks fat. She really isn't, but in this picture she looks like she is 50 lbs.! She is really only about 12 lbs. right now. She is a mini dach. that is five years old now, and she is the sweetest little brat ever! She is a brat. She sleeps in our bed, between us, and she pushes my husband out of the way all nite! Most afternoons when I bring Nicholas home from school, he will sit in my lap to take a little rest, and Sally, miss jealous, has to park herself on the other side of my and jam herself between me and the arm of the chair. Then she lets out a sigh, she is now comfy! I love her! Enjoy her picture!
