2020 Quarantine Dinner

Hello every one, here in New York we have been put on quarantine until April 20th.  My hubby's birthday was March 30, we decided to do a family quarantine dinner for him.  We had stewed chicken, stuffing, mixed vegetables, candied yams, baked macaroni & cheese, baked asparagus, Spanish yellow rice, cupcakes, Pina Colada, and sweet white wine.  We had a good time.

 

 

 

Birthday Cards

Hello my fellow crafters, it has been a while since my last post.  I started to make cards. I purchased a few dies from amazon, for my bigshot machine.   Here is my first one for this year.  I made this card for my son's birthday.  I kept it really simple.  Let me know what you think. Thanks for visiting my blog.

NOTE PADS

I used my Bind-It-All yesterday and made a few note pads out of the large gift cards and copy paper.  My son chose the Gears of War for himself.  Thanks for stopping by.

RETIREMENT FAVORS

The Director of the program where I work has decided to retire this year.  On August 7th we had a celebration breakfast at the office.  I made 18 Party Favor Mason Jars.  I got the idea from Arlene "MyButterflyKisses12".  You can see the video on her channel.  I put my own spin on the labels and made them removable with velcro.  My daughter helped me put them together and they came out really nice, and everyone loved their jars.   Here are a few pics. Thanks for stopping by.

GLUE HOLDERS

I learned to create these from Aleene Jackson on Creative Living Show.  They are made from the top of a 2-liter bottle of soda.  Here are my creations using fabric and bling on one and paper and stickles on the other.  I am going to feature how to make these on my new youtube channel, so look out for that as well.  Let me know what you think.  Thanks for stopping by.

Foil Press

I got a new machine today.  And I made my first foil and cut piece.  Excited to make some Father's Day Cards.

Centerpieces

Hello everyone, I just wanted to share the centerpieces that I made for my moms church.  They gave me the colors and these are what I made for them.  All of the items to make these came from teh Dollar Tree.   Let me know what you think.

Centerpieces and Party Favors

Hello everyone,  I was recently asked to make party favors and centerpieces for a baby shower.  I usually do party favors with no problem, but centerpiece the are a challenge for me..  Here are the centerpieces that I created from a pic that I was shown.  And the party favors I just used my Big Shot and the pillow box die and filled them with sugar free peppermints. Let me know what you think.

Wristlets and Boutonnieres

Hello everyone, I was recently asked to create Boutonnieres and Wristlets for a funeral. And I have never created these before, so her is my try. I think they came out pretty nice for a first timer.  Let me know what you think..
