Just a quick note

It's my husband's and I 16 year anniversary today! Wow that's a long time we weren't thinking cause we got married on the 16th, our daughters b-day is the 18th and our son's b-day is the 20th and then Christmas! Yep..we are broke!!

Have ya ever wondered?

Have ya ever wondered as you make things for your family and friends for Christmas, or even a birthday or just for whatever, do they Really like the things you make or are they just being nice? I wonder it all the time! I love to make things for my family and friends, it's a little special piece of my insight on things. Not just jewelery, but quilts, art etc. It just makes me wonder. Does anyone else feel that way too?

Green Paper Challenge

Here is my collage for the Green Paper challenge. It is paint some pastels and stamps as well. I didn't get a chance to do the last one so I really enjoyed this one! Enjoy!

Christmas wreath

Well I finished the vintage ornament wreath finally.I had it hanging outside but it got so cold the glue ,I don't know "shrunk" and I lost an ornament, so I brought it inside. After all that work I didn't want to just lose it all over the front porch! Of course I had to add a pic of our little tree. I wish our living room was bigger! I would have a giant tree!! But, this one is still pretty I think. I hope everyone is having fun decorating a getting ready for Christmas! I love this time of the year, so fun!!

Christmas time!!!

Well first my kitty Bink's just had to get in the shot too! I went to the antique store today and hunted for some vintage ornaments to make a wreath for my front door. I found some that were priced not too bad. I need to find some more but ran out of money. Oh that's what my husband is for! Ha he'll appreciate that one!! But anyways I'll show it when I get it all together! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We did and were most definitely stuffed! ;) Oh I need to not take migraine pills for a backache, too much caffeine and it's hard to do much else but I've got so much of the jitters going on!! Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow! Have a great weekend everyone!!

Garage sale finds!

I know I haven't posted in awhile, and really lucky to post this one. My computer needs to go to the doctor. I don't know what is going on with it.It's so annoying! But anyways here are some finds from a garage sale that I found the other day. Some photos and some watch parts, Yea for me on that one! Plus a silver spoon my mother wants me to make her an ornament for the tree for her. The people who were having the sale really had some great finds. They bought the house and the relatives didn't want anything that was left in the house. How anyone can get rid of family photos is beyond me. I was gonna scan these and share them, but like I said my computer is sick. Still so frustrating!! I will do that as soon as I get it back. I really want to show them to you. One is of some ladys with their quilts and Benton, which is where I live, in the picture. Love it! Only a dollar a piece, so I spent my last 20 bucks on them! So hopefully soon I will show you the rest! Have a great day!

Well this first picture, now that I see them on here I wish they were a little brighter, I should have used a darker background. They look washed out on this, but oh well. Next time Iwill remember that! It's a necklace I made for a cousin who is a breast cancer survivor. It has a couple of vintage crystals and a little vintage piece from another earring I think. These pictures don't do it justice I think. But moving on My daughter Meagan is a cheerleader for the 8th grade and they had a Pink Out game the other night for the girls basketball team. They play 3 games, the 6th grade then the 7th and then the 8th and we won all three! Way to go girls!!! I thought the cheerleaders looked so cute in their pink socks! It was the first game of the season so in the next couple of weeks we will be busy with games! The last picture is of me and my hubby. We were at a bonfire last week at my cousins house, the same one I made the necklace for. I love family get togethers! Hope everyone has a great friday!!
