  • An Egg-cellent Easter

    I made these holders for my grandchildren, David 10, Felicia 8 and Rachel 2 1/2.  I bet you can guess who will receive which candy holder.  They are like the ones I made for Teacher Appreciation Week.   After making the 1st two candy holders, the next 3 went pretty fast. I didn't really want to…

  • You’ve been tagged!

    New crazy game of tag.  You get tagged, pick the 6th folder in your photo gallery, pick the 6th picture in that folder, add to your blog with a description. This picture was taken about a month ago.  If the grandkids maintain good grades (A's & B's) through the semester, we celebrate by taking them…

  • Teacher Treats

    Today's post includes two candyholders I made for my grandchildren to take to their teachers since it is Teacher Appreciation Week.  I cannot remember where I got the template for this box, but it was about a week ago.  Sorry I cannot give credit to the original owner.  I had to modify the box (made it…

      It's time again for the Emerson girls!  I love these images!  They are by Emerson and are from the American Art Stamp website.  At least, that where I buy them because they have a large selection.  I know that they are also available at Hobby Lobby but they only have two or three of them…

  • Fifth Avenue Flower

      It's a cold and windy day and this card is just perfect for this type of day.  You can't get more cheerful than a bright yellow card, can you? I cheated a little and did not use all SU products (gasp!!).  I wanted this ribbon for the card – the black gingham I had…

  • Rachel

    I have to share this photo with you.  My friends say I spoil my granddaughter and namesake.  But I want to lay that rumor to rest once and for all. As you can see we make her work for her upkeep!  Aren't they cute  at that stage when they want to help.  Too bad it…

    When I saw a card like this on Dawn's Stamping Spot, I knew I had to case it.  Well, I didn't exactly case it because I changed a couple of things – so let's say I was inspired by it!    I tried to stitched the block together but it just wasn't coming out right.  I then adhered…
