I Love the Holiday Season

Each month, on a Monday, the SJ Stampers meet at the Atlantic County Library in Mays Landing, NJ, to share ideas and learn new techniques. This past Monday was the Holiday Celebration. We each brought food to share and a Pollyanna Gift. We also did a Holiday card swap.

You make a card to swap, bring it, and get a card in return. Here is the beautiful card I got. It is made by one of my Stampin' Up! customers, Mary Jo. Great Job Mary Jo! It is a beautiful card.

Here is the Pollyanna Gift I received. It is Martha Stewarts Glittering Set. I'm looking forward to trying it. I don't know who brought it but I hope they see this because I want to say THANK YOU!

I love this time of year. I enjoy getting together with family and friends. I love the sites and sounds of the holiday also. Boy, Monday was really cold too. Sure felt like winter. Today it was 60 degrees, didn't feel like winter. But I believe the cold is coming back Friday.

Stay Warm!

Craft Show

Today I spent the day at a craft show at a friends home selling items I made. There were lots of great gift ideas for Stocking Stuffers, Pollyanna Gifts, Teacher Gifts, etc. Here is a picture of my table.

I will be at the Oakcrest High School, in Mays Landing on Saturday, 12/13/08, from 10 am to 3 pm along with over 30 other crafters and vendors. Come out and do some Christmas Shopping. Here is the flyer with details on this craft show.

24 Days till Christmas

Can you believe Christmas is only 24 days away? I can't. I hope you all enjoyed the rest of your Thanksgiving weekend. We had a wonderful dinner at my parents on Saturday.

I spent the rest of Saturday busily working on my craft show items and then again yesterday till around 5 pm when I walked into the dog, at a good clip, and broke my baby toe on my right foot. Yes, it swelled right away and after putting ice on it a few times and trying to walk on it I decided to head to Urgent Care to get it check out. It's broke. There is a piece of bone chipped off at the bottom of the toe where the top of the foot starts. Boy does it hurt. As long as I don't move it, try to walk on it or touch it I'm fine. They gave me crutches and told me to stay off of it for a week. Well, you should see me try to use the crutches. That is another injury waiting to happen so I think I have to bag them. They also gave me a surgical shoe to where and taped the toe to the neighboring toe. The shoe does help when walking.

So, here I sit at home resting my foot. I have an appointment this afternoon with an Orthopedic doctor to have it checked and find out what I should and shouldn't do. I didn't have much confidence in the doctor at Urgent care. Kind of feel the crutches was a bit overkill. So we'll see what the specialist says.

Holiday Crafts

I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving Day. I am spending my free time on my 4 day holiday weekend getting ready for a couple craft shows I am doing in December. Here is a tealight candle holder I made. Just one of many, many things I have created.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Well, here we are celebrating another Thanksgiving. Today I am cooking a traditional dinner for my husband, daughter, mother-in-law and brother-in-law. We already celebrated Thanksgiving this past Saturday with my sister-in-law and her husband. Then this Saturday we will celebrate Thanksgiving with my family at my parents house. I am very thankful for my family and friends and feel blessed to have them in my life!

I hope you and yours have a Wonderful Thanksgiving!

Give Thanks

Here is a Thanksgiving Layout that I did for a class at a Crop that I was a vendor at. The cute Turkey is made out of the Scallop Circle Punch.
