here are pictures of a halloween mini album that i recently did.

mini albums

Here are some pictures of a few mini albums that i have done recently.. i found a site that showed how to make one with just 1 sheet of 12 x 12 paper for the base of the album.. These are so much fun to make and so i did a few and am thinking about doing them for a craft show or proably will just end up giving them as gifts.

thanks for looking.

new mb

ok since the new mb board has a direct link to everyones blog. I guess we will have to keep them updated more.. at least i will. i have been busy getting ready for fall craft shows and waiting on the christmas swap and finsihing up a couple that i have joined. I have a few new projects that i would like to share but have to wait until i get home so i can take the pictures..

will up load them later.. not really sure if i like the new board but i guess we not have a choice.. it is like everything else it will get better with time...

welcome fall

i really can not believe that i am thinking about fall projects already.. it seems that it was just the beginning of summer a few days ago... i just wanted to show you a project that i did today.. my dh will be cutting some of these from wood for me to paint for the craft shows but i wanted to see how one would be made from paper.. so here is a double duty sign.. one side is for halloween and the other is just for everyday fall...hope you like it

mini album

Here is a sample of the mini albums that i did for the girls softball team that my husband helps coach. there are twelve girls on the team and i did one for each. ... hope you like them...it was a lot of fun.. left some pages for them to add their own pictures and the last day when we handed them out they were running around getting everyone to sign them. so i think they liked them. there were eight double sided pages for each album..

bath scruby

Here is what i found at walmart........

It is a bath scruby with a soap rose on the top

let me know what you think

been away

ok i have not been keeping up with my blog for a couple of weeks.. i have had a very strange happening going on.. i have become bitten by the scrap bug and in the last two weeks have purchased a cricut expression with the four new carts from hsn, the cuttlebug bundle and have been to m's a couple of times looking for all kind of new items... i am still doing my tole painting which my dh and i do together and make extra income from.. which will come in handy since we will be making a trip to maine within the next few weeks as the grandbaby is due april 20th... i have been following a lot of blogs lately and i hope that i will be able to make mine a little bit more insteresting in the future. i am still trying to get a picture posted so hopefully i will be able to post a couple of the first attempts at altered projects and explosion box i just did..

thank you to all the people that i have been able to ideas and help from.

Baby Shower

Today was my daughter's baby shower and she lives in maine and i am in wv so it was different doing this high tech.. we skyped the shower and it was funny watching it on the computer screen.. but at least i got to see her... She was surprised with her "cake" it is the only thing that we have been able to send her without her knowing about it in advance. Someday when i figure out how to post pictures I will put them on.

So now we have to wait for the due date of april 20th.

Nursery curtains

I have been working on curtains for my daughter's nursery this past week... the window curtain was pretty easy as it was just a couple of panels with clip hooks to hang it by. The curtains for the closet spaces were another matter. I decided that i would cut animals from fabric and iron them to a twin sheet that i had already sewn to the correct size for the closet. Sounds pretty simple unless you are a newbie and i spent 3 evenings trying to figure out how to cut the animals the correct size and colors. I am hoping to post some pictures as soon as i can figure out how to do this. Just wanted to thank anyone who happens to read this for there help from the bessage board.

towel cake

I just finished making a towel cake for my daughters baby shower. It came out better than i thought it would since this was my first attempt. The towels had animals on them that she is using in her nursey. I hope to post pictures soon but i am not sure exactly how to do this. I will let you know when i get this done.

I am working on an explosion box for my daughter's baby shower. i have an idea to have this box be a year long box of pictures. i hope to be able to upload pictures of this as soon as i have finished this. She is having the nursey done in an jungle theme and this animal kingdom cartridge is perfect for this. i have gotten so many ideas from other blogs that this is turning out to be a lot of fun. Just have to get it done quickley as the whole thing has to be shipped to maine from west virginia. the post office and UPS loves me.

first card

i did my first card today but still have not figure out how to upload just yet. My son is supposed to help me tomorrow so maybe i will be able to do it then.

newbie

I am new to the blog world and after reading some of the other blogs decided i would give this a try. I have been doing wooden crafts for a number of years but have just started in the paper world. I know that I would not have to wait for my dh to cut out the projects for me so i am hoping that this will be something i can do without his having to do much. i have made a couple small projects and when i figure out how to input the pictures i will upload them for you to see.
