ISS Blog Hop!

Hello All,

Hope you are having a nice, happy Friday! I can't thank God enough for the weekend being here already. Trust me, I need it.

Anyway today is ISS Blog Hop Friday and our theme of the month is Setting the Table. I've created a project (if that's what you want to call it) for this special occasion. We are releasing 2 new fall images...Pilgrims in fact today...so check them out, they are on sale now!!!

I combined 2 projects into one. I created a Thanksgiving day table full of all the yummy trimmings.



I decided to use our Chicken/Turkey with potato's, casserole (which I turned into mac n cheese), a side dish and some scrumptious looking bread! I had the dardest time trying to scale this table down but that was as small as I could it. LOL...Oy Vey! You can't really make out the sentiment at the bottom of the table but it says You are cordially invited to a Thanksgiving Feast!

The second items I created to finish out the "theme" were these cute little table toppers. Our family has a tradition that we do each year. Everyone writes down a thought or prayer (and I mean everyone even the kids) and we place them in a basket. About 20 minutes before we begin to eat we sit down and each person pulls one out and reads it.

We began doing this after a family member passed away a few years ago. It has really brought our family closer together.

So I created little boxes this year that will hold our thoughts and prayers. I will just remove the flowers and fill them with our little slips of paper that everyone will write on. I also add a few scriptures too.

Totally makes our Thanksgiving a time to truly giving thanks. Not just for the food, but for those we love and care about as well. You should try it.

My family likes it because sometimes they don't know what to say and this way they can just read off the slip and then add to it if they want.

I appreciate you stopping by and taking our blogging tour. Next on your journey is Raquel

I know I know

I haven't posted in a while nor have I posted a Blog Candy. Please forgive me. I've been swamped with work, the website and finally finishing up the total move of the office. So I'm all done with that.

I now have to finish an order of 80 invites by Friday and I have done NOTHING. So as you can see procrastination is the culprit cause I keep putting it off. I will be posting a few more cards I've made but I still need to take a picture.

Also we are having Blog Hop at ISS. So please stay tuned for that. :)

Happy Hump Day!

I am swamped with stuff to do and it's already almost 4:30 pm. I still have to go to the post office and ship lol.

Here is a quick card featuring a new image that will be released soon. Her name is Lorelei.



I love the way the background paper came out. I had to cut it into quilt blocks to have enough of it.

Recipe: Patterned Paper - Daisy Buckets, Inks- Copics, Ribbon- May Arts, Punches - Stampin Up!, Cardstock - Neenah.

See you tomorrow. I have another cute card to share. Although I think it is a little plain. :)

Blog Candy Yumness - CLOSED!!!!

Thanks for stopping by my little neck of the woods. I'm having another blog candy today. Who doesn't like blog candy? :) I know I do.

Tomorrow I will be announcing the winner from last week's Blog Candy give-away at around 12:00 pm. So come back to see if you were the lucky winner. You have plenty of time to enter still so you better hurry up. :)

I just finished Jana a cute little image now available at ISS. She is all decked out in her cold weather gear and stylin' of course. If I had eyes like that, I'm sure I'd look great any I wore too. But nope, I'm stuck with ordinary dark brown eyes. My best feature I think are my dimples. At least that's what I've been told.

Here is Jana, looking all warm! My hubby's favorite Christmas song is Baby It's Cold Outside. So I thought I'd make him a cute little card for his desk for this holiday season. He liked it so that counts for something right?

The funny thing about this image was I colored it before I decided on the paper I wanted to use. Luckily I had that patterned paper in my stash. I don't know the brand but I love it.
