Jingle Bell Boutique Craft Fair 2013

This December I participated in the Jingle Bell Boutique Craft Fair for the third year. This was my booth space.

This chicken wire screen I had my husband make. I found a tutorial on a blog from My Little Sunshine. It was really inexpensive and I was happy with the outcome. 

Elf On The Shelf Is Back!!

Look who's back?! It's Bilbo our Christmas Elf! This year Bilbo came and surprised the kids with a fun breakfast and he even brought a package all the way from the North Pole for the kids =)

Halloween!!

Here's a picture of the kids on Halloween. They were dressed up as Darla from Finding Nemo, a minion, and a clown from the Disney channels Jojo's Circus.

September's Swap

The month of September was a Thank You themed swap. So I made these little gift bags using the SU top note die and put together a little manicure set. The tag I put on the bag says "Mani" Thanks. In the bags I put a little nail clipper, pink nail polish, and a pink nail file. I wanted to find a small bottle of nail polish remover and add some cotton balls but they didn't have the color to go along with the "pink" theme I was going with.

I used SU's top note die and the chalk it up stamp set. 

August Swap Item

I made these broomstick popcorn bags for my swap item for the month of August. I found a cute tutorial on YouTube that I used. I attached the video tutorial bellow.

I made the tags using the Chalk It Up frame lits, the Hello Halloween stamp set, and the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set. 

 

  

Halloween Hello Cards

Here are some cards I put together using the Halloween Hello stamp set.

Yesterday I got some really adorable owls on the mail from my up line Shirley Pumpkin. Aren't these so cute!! They're $15 each plus shipping. You can see more of her cute creations and owls on her blog at: www.lookatmycutestuff.blogspot.com

Here's the Halloween owl. The webbed fabric glows in the dark!!

And here's one she made to match my craft corner. I LOVE the crowns!!! 

First Day Of School!!

I just wanted to write a quick post and share some of the pictures from the first day of school :)

Here's the letter from the Back To School Fairy :)

 

I attached these signs to the kids chairs and my husband and I wrote a little message to each of them, wishing them a wonderful year. The signed is from the Lauren McKinsey school collection :)

 

 

My son Jay-Tee who is starting the 3rd grade.

 

My daughter Kaleia who is starting 5th grade.

 

And my little one Mya who is starting her last year of Pre-K.

Mya doesn't start Preschool until the 23rd so I'll have to add her picture later.
