Frames and more for Christmas

These frames & calendar were made by Paula and Denise. Imagine starting with a white canvas and have something so warm and beautiful created when you are finished.

Cards for Christmas

Each year the favorite thing to do is make Christmas cards, on our weekend away. A few ladies have completed all their cards for this year (and now have time to do baking).

Here are some samples of their work. Clara made the cute reindeer and snow scene. Becky and Nancy were making the lovely angel cards.

Advent Calendars & Gift Pails....

4 of the ladies were making these unique mini muffin tin Advent Calendars. Look how different and cute they all turned out. Kami, Paula, Stacy and Denise (shown here), made these.

Flourishes & COPICs & weekend away...

Although I didn't get a photo of the new stamps we received, I still wanted to post that they have arrived. A few already are gone. Since I was away this weekend, more might be now. So hurry in to see the newest releases.

We also received our first small order of COPIC Sketch Markers. Start small and add as we can, that's our plan. I just love playing with them and have gotten a "little" better.

I did say I was away this weekend, so I had better explain the next few photos.

We have a Weekend Getaway at Leavenworth Inn, and it was this past weekend. (I actually got home earlier this evening).

Since it is obvious that I am not the best photographer, there are fewer photos than I would like to have had. (In other words, "blurry" is the my new nickname). I'm sure it's my glasses, right?!

Stay tuned over next week as I get more in from other sources.

The first 2 are samples of some of the wonderful items made this weekend.

Turkeys from punches, fun and colorful. Becky, Nancy, Grandy & Angela were making these.

The adorable owl frames were made by Kami.

Fabric Flower Pins with Michelle Mathey

I am so excited, Michelle Mathey is going to be teaching a class on Fabric Flower pins. Aren't they very classy looking? She came to my class today and brought 2 for me to keep. Modeled by Angela, (who designed our sign), they are a soft, vintage looking flower, with a pearl in the center.

December 8th. at 10:00am We already have a registration started, so call to book your spot.

Michelle wrote a lovely little message about us on her blog, after taking the card class today. We had a nice group of ladies there today.

Allot of talent in the room.

Tuesday Take away Nov. 8th.

This week's M&T is done using Cosmo Cricket paper (and some spellbinders that I had not used yet.) Nice fall colors.

Although the rust color looks a bit orange in this photo, it looks better "in person".

It was one of those days that nothing seemed to go together well. But, with some help from Paulette getting ready to teach Cricut class, it fell together. Thanks Paulette.

Cost is $2.00

Do you still have some Halloween photos to crop? Here are a couple of really cute ideas, by Lisa Ceddia. Hand stitching all the way around the page on right. Note the ribbon folds around the photos on the left. Darling.....

Halloween Sale...40% off

Let's get the Halloween pages finished, with a sale on all Halloween items. The remainder of this week we'll offer the 40% off, then it will be put away to make room for Autumn and Christmas things.

My favorite time of year, Autumn. When life is changing and all the colors remind us of new growth yet to come. I do prefer the cooler weather too.

We also have some Just The Right Stamps left that are half price too.

More Flourish are on order, since the last new releases sold out in 3 days. There were a couple more releases as well, so those will be in that order too, arriving next week.

Check out the classes still posted and call to register. The Monday classes we open specifically for those times, since we are normally closed. However, if you are attending a class and want to shop a bit after, that is a great time to look around.

Do you have some project you would like to show us? We would love to see your ideas too!

Happy Crafting........

New winter paper from Jillibean. Cute snowmen, who can resist?

The Crop at Castle HS on Saturday was a good time. So many nice people. One group stuck out in my mind, a group of 3 generations. How nice to have your mom, daughter, mother, grandmother all together to save memories. A nice family to be with.

So, here is what we have left of the high school items. Yes, there are music albums, but you can't see them in photo. For the 2 ladies wanting them, come in and get them while they are still here.

Cheerleaders...we can order more albums for all of you, but you need to come in and let us know!

Take Away Tuesday Nov. 2

For those of you who read the blog yesterday...yes, I found the camera.
