<br />
Happy New Year!<br />
<br />
It has been a very busy couple of months. I have been out-of-pocket since November due to the holidays and my 85-year old mom was hospitalized due to a fall and I had to tend to her. No time for blogging.<br />
<br />
I have found something that I think is so adorable and easy and also inexpensive to make from none other than Heidi Swapp, she rocks. So, since February is coming and you need to get the treat ideas out, here is one I wanted to share with you all to make for your family and friends.<br />

<br />
I am excited. So, I am a member of Creating the Crafty Life and Denise posted this awesome project w/Graphic 45 paper and mouse traps. She was inspired of course, by Graphic 45. So, I googled and viola - I found the project.<br />
<br />
I bought some mouse traps and now I have a project to make and wanted to share with you all too.<br />
<br />
This Rocks!<br />

<br />
Just a quick stop to show you my latest project. I wanted to make something for the girls in the office and for my family (girls) too.<br />
<br />
I love witches, my favorite movie about witches is Hocus Pocus. So, I wanted to do something with the same theme that I love ' Witches'.<br />
<br />
I found this idea through Cricut. I did have to alter the shoe a bit because I didn't want open toe shoes. I used the Party Princess Cartridge. I altered the shoe to have more of a witch style to it. I didn't 'fit to page' because I wanted it to be as big as I could get it. I used my Gypsy and moved it around and was able to get it at 12".<br />
<br />
Hope you all enjoy. Happy Halloween Week!<br />
<br />

<br />
I wanted to share a Halloween Hop Blog with you all. I love Halloween, one of my favorite holidays because you get to dress up and get lots of candy.<br />
<br />
I especially love the crafting projects that you can create during this time also.<br />

<br />
I wanted to share my altered Halloween coffin I made for my swap partner with <a href="http://creatingthecraftylife.com/">http://creatingthecraftylife.com/</a>. I was pleased with how it came out that I will have to make one for me also.<br />
<br />
I bought the coffins at Michael's last year when they went on sale for like pennies (bought like 9). Of course, you can still get them but they will cost you I think $2.99 or something like that.<br />
<br />
It was really fun doing it. I just painted, crackled it, covered the inside with red felt and the bottom too. I made a mini coffin shape tag album to go inside it (I mean you can only put so much in the coffin anyway before it burst). LOL. I added embellishments to the outside of it. The best way for you to have a vision is to show you the results. :)<br />
<br />
Here is my altered coffin for swap.<br />

Not that I like to rush my days, but I was ready for Friday. Work was busy, so sorry again, no time to blog.<br />
<br />
But as I sat down and scanned through some of my favorite places I came across this fabulous idea. Painting rugs! Wow. So, if you can't find the perfect rug for that spot - just design it and paint it yourself. <br />
<br />
How cool is that?<br />

<br />
I am sorry I have been out of pocket since February. A lot has been going on and I just simply have not had the time to blog.<br />
<br />
Winter came and went, that was busy putting things away. Spring arrived and had to get the yard ready for summer. Then had to keep up with family and things happening around the house that I jus did not have time.<br />
<br />
I thought I would post a little something to say, I am still here.<br />
<br />
I was looking on FB and say this (reminds me of the Halloween bottles I did, never thought of using them as lables for everything containers). So, here it is, how cool are these!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I hope you enjoy or have bottles or containers you all have to mark. All you need is scrapbook paper that is to your liking. Check them out, it's easy and pretty crafty.<br />
<br />
Have a great day, everyone. Enjoy the journey, we only get one.<br />

<br />
I know I am early, but started working on this awesome project that I am going to surprise and give my co-workers on Tuesday. It will be decorated with V-Day theme, but you can change the ribbons to suit any Holiday or simply just keep on your desk, counter, in your kitchen, or anywhere as a candy container.<br />
<br />
All you need (supplies):<br />
4" clay pot (1)<br />
4" bottom plate that goes with the clay pot (2)<br />
glass bowl<br />
knob<br />
glue<br />
ribbon<br />
paint<br />
<br />
...and viola you can create the neatest little candy container around - a mini gum ball look-a-like.<br />
<br />
You paint (color of your choice) the clay pot with plates, you can get decorative knobs at hobby lobby or simply get a wooden ball and paint it also. The bowls from the Dollar Tree, the clay pots from Michaels. I used liquid nails for glue you can also use 6000 glue (any kind that glues wood and glass). Decorate with some ribbon and fill with candy. Best little gum ball mini around!<br />
<br />
Here is a sneak peek picture of one:<br />

<br />
I hope everyone is getting ready for the special people in your life, just wanted to share this fabulous idea. It is fast and easy.<br />
<br />
I hope to hear from you all.<br />
Live well, Live happy, and Love a lot; and enjoy the journey along the way!<br />

<div><br />
</div><div>Wow! Where did January go? I still do not feel I have recovered from the holidays. I have been busy at work and busy at home. I have had other things going on too that have taken me away from my crafting. I will be back as soon as all those issues have been taken care of.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I am also moving my craft room to the bigger room in the house and making my craft room a guest room. My daughter moved out and so I am taking her room as my craft room. As soon as that is done I can post some pictures and hopefully get back into the swing of working in my craft room.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I have a retreat in March, I hope I can get ready for it with all that has been popping up, I am exhausted thinking about just getting ready for it. But I am sure I will. It is always good to get away and get some projects completed.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I also wanted to share what I saw on the news the other day. Moms making money on blogs. Check this out: <a href="http://www.iheartnaptime.net/how-to-monetize-your-blog/">http://www.iheartnaptime.net/how-to-monetize-your-blog/</a><br />

Greetings everyone!<br />
<br />
I know it's been a few weeks. I have no excuse other than, I have been really busy. I had to take a lot of Christmas decorations down, I went to a retreat, where I sprang my ankle, meanwhile, still having to go to work everyday and taking care of my duties, like cleaning, laundry, and three dogs.<br />
<br />
I am still here and plan to share so many things this year with you all. Now that the holidays are over I will have more time to concentrate on scrapping and crafting.<br />
<br />
Today I just want to share some ideas for Valentine I found on one of my favorite sites. Tatertots & Jello are sharing 25 great ideas. Go check them out and get started! February 14, will here before you know it, trust me. January has already gone so fast!<br />

I am so ready to be finished with my decorations to share. But will wait until the 12-Tags of Christmas is done. I love T!m Holtz and his 12-Tags they are exciting and I learn new techniques each time. I just wish I had time to just play and play.<br />
<br />
Ok, today I will share yesterday's tag and today's tag. Fell a little behind with work and then decorations. But no fret here they are!<br />

I love T!m's gears, this tag has so much technique that it has inspired me to do a layout with just about everything on it for Christmas. Can't wait to get started.<br />

So many things, so little time as I always say.<br />
<br />

I simply love these, I am behind too because I haven't been able to do any. Everything just came all at once. How do people do it? I need to learn to utilize my time better or get more organized, is that even possible.<br />
<br />
Well, busy, busy. I need to get back to whatever else I need to do tonight. Thanks again for dropping by.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the journey (no matter how busy you are), <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">live well, laugh often, love a lot, and be happy :) wooo-hooooo!</span></span><br />
