The Day After

The day after your birthday calls for Thank You cards. This evening I put together a simple yet effective "Thank You" layout. Using my awesome clear stamps, I set up a large block with various thank yous in different fonts and sizes. I also added a small dot, flower or star. A card for my brother called for the more masculine star.

The day after my birthday also called for decorating for Christmas.  The year I tried my 4 1/2 foot tree on a table.  I think I like it.  I know for sure that I love the blue, white and silver that is used to decorate the tree.

First Crochet Flower Attempt

Snowed In

Well, this week I got an extended Thanksgiving vacation. The snow and cold weather have once again shut the region down. I took the opportunity to go out yesterday and take some pictures. Here are a few of my favorites

All this time shut in meant that I had some time to spend in my craft room. I had the opportunity to make a gift for my upcoming Bunco party. I think they turned out pretty cute.



Now I am off to make crocheted flowers. Wish me luck.
