Wacky Wednesday

How wacky is this? IT IS OCTOBER!!! Here is a gift set that I made at a class of my upline Wendy. It comes with gum holder, beaded pen, bookmark clip, candle, notepad, two 3x3 cards with envelopes and the pail which holds all of it. She used (on my order due in Friday) paper, Green Tea. Stamp sets used are Eastern Blooms and Text & Texture for the saying "Just Because". Colors are Baha Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White. Great combo! We learned how to stamp tissue paper and then with a heat gun apply to the candle with wax paper. A first for me! This would be a great gift for a teacher, neighbor or friend. Who do I choose to get this? Have a magical day! Cindy

Disney Trip Tuesday (day 1)

Since I have so many pictures (actually 453!) from our Disney trip. I am going to go trip day by trip day over the next 6 Disney Tip Days (or 3 weeks) and share just some of them with you all.

Day 1 - Monday

We got up late and headed to the Magic Kingdom around 11am. We were shocked at the little crowds. We decided to head over to Thunder Mountain and get that out of the way. Allison did ride it and screamed the whole time but she made it!

Then we took the monorail over to the Grand Floridian for lunch with the Whalen/Lloyd family...Esther, Mary, Mark, Amy and their daughters, Megan and Erin The girls have been in dance together with our girls for 3 years and all have become good friends. Then we all went back to the Magic Kingdom and rode several rides together. Ride lines were all a 5-10 minutes wait. It was muggy hot! Yuk! So that took alot out of us later.

Megan and Megan in a photo moment. That is Howard and Amy holding up the little criminals, Allison and Erin.

This is my favorite shot of the day! My new Canon S5IS camera ROCKS! We got a spot in front of the castle for the "Wishes" fireworks show. Esther, Amy's mom was amazed by the show! You should have seen her face. Priceless!

Have a magical day!

Made for Monday

Is this not the cutest owl you have ever seen? Allison and I made him together last night. I was looking at this blog below and Allison came into my office and saw it on the monitor. She said "How cute! Can I make him?" Why not! She helped me punch out the shapes and glue him together. Then she picked out the colors of the card and stamped the background. She loved it so much, we made two other fun punch cards that are the surprises for the Halloween workshop. Wait til you see them! We followed the colors of cardstock by Ruth's tutorial and then used Really Rust, More Mustard and Old Olive. The stamps used are from Thankful Thoughts and Embrace Life. http://ruthsstampingcorner.blogspot.com/2008/09/tutorial-tuesday-owl-with-punches.html Here is my little stamper Allison and her creation. She was so happy!

Many family and friends should be getting an email for viewing our Disney Photopass pictures. Check them out! I will have pictures tomorrow and Thursday covering all what we did that wonderful magical week!

Have a magical day!

Wacky Wednesday skipping Thursday

This Wacky Wednesday is a day late but never the less here it is: These little baskets are so easy to make! You can fill them with Dove Dark Chocolates (yummy) or whatever your weakness of chocolate is. You can also create Christmas, Halloween, Birthday themed baskets. Just put the treats in a clear baggie with a ribbon tie and place in basket. I tried to find the web link to make this cute thing but I am running out of time today. If you are interested, let me know at nutmeg1197@aol.com. I will email it to you once I find it. We made these baskets at one of my workshops in May of this year. Speaking of workshops, I had time on my drive home from Florida to think up some great workshops for this holiday season coming up. I am working slowly on the items to show you. So stay tune and I will let you know about the workshops/classes and dates! Have a magical day! Cindy

Disney Tip Tuesday

Sorry everyone, I will have to post later tonight as I have to go to work, then Megan's dance class and watch Dancing with the Stars! I will do my best to download Disney pictures to share. Check in later! Cindy UPDATE: Ok forgive me! So I will be working on the pictures over the weekend and posting next week. I promise! My house is a mess (vacation laundry done but not put away), finally got my van back on Wednesday afternoon (but not sure if it is really fixed correctly) , busy work week and Dancing with the Stars started back(straight 3 nights a doosy and tired of Cloris already!).

Made for Monday

Here is a card I made for my best friend Marisa's daughter Alexa. It was her 2nd birthday in July. I picked colors that matched the wrapping paper of her gift.

I used Summer Sun, Taken with Teal, Pumpkin Pie, Pixie Pink and Whisper White cardstock. I used my aqua painter to watercolor in the hippo using basic gray ink. The ribbon is green galore grosgrain. I wanted a background so I just handwrote some 2's all over. I love the envelope too. I used the birthday roller on the pumpkin pie in pixie pink ink. Click on picture to get a closer look.

Well, I have been slowly getting back into a routine since vacation ended on Sunday. I did not get my van back on Friday so we had to take the Suburban. But not before getting new tires on it on Saturday! Ugh!

We had a wonderful time at DisneyWorld! Perfect weather, good times, awesome food (except Mexico dinner) and lots of memories made! I will posted pictures as soon as I can. I have to download them and set up Photopass too.

Have a magical day!
