Some Christmas Shares

Hi all! I've been a little busy lately. My husband in working in Cleveland Ohio on a nuclear plant job, and is not home 5 days and 4 nights. It's a pain in the butt with 3 kids here always wanting to go somewhere, have all thier friends in my house all day, eating all my food, making a mess! But I actually do love it! I just don't like to be by myself all the time, but at least he is working. He is there to inspect some work they are doing in the plant, he has nothing to do with the nuclear work there. But he had to go thru all the safety training, many tests, and alot of security checks all the time! He was getting a little overwhelmed for a while, because he is just a simple construction inspector from Pittsburgh, Pa. that usually does not have to deal with all this, but he finally got used to it! Anyway on to the crafts! The first thing is a stitched card I made. I have these things from Oriental Trade that you poke thru to your paper and embroider and I finally used them! I made Santa's Hat here. I painted Shimmerz (I hope I spelled that right!) on the flowers. I just purchased it last week from the Shimmerz website.




These are Christmas Folders I made from recycled envlopes from the mail, bills and things. I put pockets on the inside for gift cards, tickets, pictures, money(my personal favorite!) whatever!







A little note about the top picture, those are bags made from envelopes, and the middle box is like the Halloween box I made before. I used quilling on the front of the box, and also on the front of one of the Christmas Folders. I had way too much that I like to do! But what would I do without my crafting? Clean the house, wash the clothes, make the beds, cook, ........don't think so! LOL! Have a great day! Hugs
