Happy Feet

Penguins are all the rage right now with the new HAPPY FEET TWO movie coming out on Thanksgiving Day so with that in mind we offered several penguin themed items at our craft sale last Saturday (which by the way was a HUGE success!!)

Inside this little tin was a package of M&M's
Of course whoever bought them could change them out for whatever
they chose when they gave it away if they wanted.

Thanks to all who stopped in to see us at the craft sale!
It was wonderful to hear your kind comments

Don't forget to check out the ONLINE EXTRAVAGANZA

Warmest Of Wishes

Tomorrow is our last scheduled Craft Sale of the season.
Sue and I have both been working hard at getting things ready for the big day.
We LOVE this one because it is held in our local high school,
and it is combined with the community Santa Claus Parade
so we get to see many people we know who will stop in after the parade.
If you are able to come check us out we are at ...

HUDSONVILLE HIGH SCHOOL - 32nd Street
9 AM to 3 PM - you will find our booth in the cafeteria

This is one of the more recent projects I made to sell at the craft sale.
I thought it turned out so cute.


Thanks to Lynn Pratt for the mitten shaped pattern on her blog
A yummy treat is inside and perfect for a small treat for a friend, neighbor,
teacher, mail carrier - oh the options are endless!!

Stampin' Queen Sketch Challenge #13

Time for another Stamping Queen Sketch Challenge

Here is the sketch we had to work with...


and this is my take on it...


Silly me, I actually used the colors on the sketch challenge too.
I used three different Embossing Folders to give the card added texture
and I used the water coloring tips from our down line meeting
to color in the giraffe from the stamp set ZOO REVIEW.
Stamped the giraffe on the water color paper that also gives a texture.

This time my grand daughter, Gracie, helped me choose the stamp set
she wanted me to use on the card.

Thanks for stopping in!

Have a Blessed Day!!
