Our weekend was FABULOUS!! So busy but FUN busy!!! :)

I have some shares for ya! :) I have a few goodies I didnt post yet from my month of creativeness at Scrappin Mojo

So lets start with this.. You can find LOTS of ideas for post it note covers and pens at Youtube I used the larger post it notes for this one.. and the pen idea was a pen and pencil idea put together.. the pencils were by Jennifer McGuire found HERE

















This is a gift for one of Amandas teachers.. need to get busy and finish the other one for her other teacher! :)

today I shared some Christmas punch art ~ I found at Split Coast Stampers

THIS owl I thought was so CUTE!! Here is mine.. unsure what I will use him for.. maybe a cute tag.. :)





















Then I saw THESE and had to make them up too! :)



















That is all I have for today!! THANKS for stopping by!! I owe BLOG VISITS and will be by today blog friends!!! Hoping to get a layout or 2 done too.. wish me luck!!!
Happy Holidays!!! (I can say that right... it is after Thanksgiving! LOL!)

HAPPY NOV. 25th!!!

You know what that means... PTI BLOG HOP night!! YIPPPEEE!! :)
















I made up 2 quick and easy shares with ya for tonite! BOTH inspidered by PTIs own Michelle!
HERE she decorated some candy all cute and festive!

Here is my take on it.. These candies are so GOOD.. if you like Jr. Mints and candy cane... you must find some.. just dont look at the B B and Beyond by me I bought all but 4 boxes! HA!! they are that good! :)
I wanted a way to add a gift card so here it is for the moment.. I had another vision.. will work on that! :)
Before! (YUM!)












After all ready to give! This took about 15 minutes!













AGAIN Michelle inspired me HERE.. love those cute altered clothes pins!
Here is my take! I stamped the bag.. added stickles! Cut the squares and snowflake with my cricut.. stamped the tag and it is ready to fill with homemade treats! :) Again about 15 minutes to make!! (ok the stickles take a bit longer to dry.. but I had to have some on here.. a little sparkle for the HOLIDAYS!






















THANKS for stopping by!! Happy BLOG HOP!!! and I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving!!

Funny Story Monday! :)

I just had to share.. thought it was pretty funny!! I was doing some early xmas shopping with my Steve yesterday.. at Target I put all our stuff up to be paid for.. after it was all rang up the gal said oh did you want the card too... I said what card.. she said the card in the seat.. I said OH no that is my notebook I made! She said oh I thought it was one of our xmas cards! HA HA! it was very pretty... she told me!! THEN at Hallmark I was paying for somethings and she reached out to take it to scan.. and said OH that isnt ours! HA HA!!!
I was feeling pretty proud I must say!!! :) So if that just doesnt make all my PTI purchases worth it I dont know what will! HA HA!!!

Here is the notebook.. I KNOW you all wanted to see it again.. LOL! and hmmm I gotta find that matching pen... I think someone BORROWED it from me! :)

Well I am off.. lots to do today.. creative wise.. and tomorrow it will be OFFICAL.. I will have a TEENAGER! BOO!!!!
