I used the stamp Christmas Rose from a Christmas Cardinal Stamp Set to make my dogwoods. Don't you think they look a little like dogwoods??

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 give the kids candy (or a lot of candy) so I thought the Hershey bars… Read More »
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 out to dinner (restaurant of their choosing). This time they chose the Red Lobster. So… Read More »
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 know that they are also available at Hobby Lobby but they only have two or three of them and for the last couple of years, it's been the same three. The image was… Read More »

I don't have a card to share today because my granddaughter is with me all day and she's 2 1/2 years old. Need I say more? Anyhoo, I thought I'd share a tip on generating a sentiment on the computer. As you may have noticed, a lot of my cards have computer generated sentiments because either I don't have the sentiment or I don't like the style of sentiment that I have… Read More »
