Top Of The Day To Ya!

I have to admit that Britney Spears song "Lucky" was going through my head
the whole time I was making these letters.....
Don't ask me how I know that song, I plead the fifth.....
We have a thing for green in our house.
My hubby grew up in Dublin, Ohio.
Home of the Shamrocks.
So it was pretty much a given what his answer would on whether he would like
these LUCKY letters or not.:)
Hope ya like!

If you haven't figured it out yet
you'll notice I'm not the best blogger.
:)
I've been busy cleaning and purging my home,
helped do some flowers for my friend's son's wedding reception

and been fooling around over at Crafty Sisters!
I send things out the door faster than I can document them!
I'm appreciating learning with my sister the fine art of blogging and promise to do better!
Here are a couple of pics sent in lately from 2 talented gals!
First up are some lovely letters Jessica R. made up for her sis for Christmas!

Rita C. decorated this really fun 2 foot tall Peace sign for her daughter!

Aren't they great!!!
I love seeing what you guys do, so share the love and send in those pictures of your completed projects!
Inquiring minds want to know....that means me!:)
I'm creating a modified version of my oh-so-talented sister's ornament hanger which I should have done in the next few days, so stay tuned.....

I "Heart" Valentines Day!

I'm not sure why I love hearts and Valentines Day so much. 
I guess I should clarify that last statement, I love Valentine Decorations.
As I was putting my Christmas Decor away with glee my eye was caught on the
bright pink tote I keep everything Valentine.... 
A nice pink subtle reminder of the pinky goodness inside!  It prompted me to get going with my BE MINE letters I'm doing a class on down at Paper Cottage,
I've just been stumped for doo dads to put on them. 
The most brilliant thought crossed my mind as I was talking to my sister Candace who is the yin to my yang and it occurred to me that my Dr. Pepper can I was guzzling was the perfect matching shade! 
Seriously could it be any more perfect to make hearts out of? 
Something I love becoming a decoration for a LOVE holiday???? 
All I can say is I LOVE IT!   And that's that.:)

So yes, with the holidays over I can say loudly "Phewwwwww".
It seems silly that a good 4 months of the year is dedicated to all things Santa and Snow.
I do like making baby Jesus' though.
Maybe it's that I have ADD, but I like to mix it up and work on lots of colorful things.
Here are a few of my projects I've been working on:
Here are my winter letters. 
There is not much wintery paper out there and
I don't like being reminded of winter blues....so I did something bright!
 I love the little snowman and his scarf! 
I'm sure my nephew thought I'd forgotten his birthday....I almost did...or should I say it
got kicked to the back burner.....
But I finally got it done and my Hubby was even envious!
I even found time to make a ridiculously over sized P for my sister Candace. 
She told me she wanted a pretty monogram but I obviously misinterpreted 12 x 12 inches to be
2 feet by 3 feet.  I never really liked math....

I have to say, that if you asked me where I'd be a year ago, I never thought I'd be here.
I never thought I'd be running my own little business
covered in saw dust.:)
(My sister says this in my unibomber picture)
I try sometimes to see the blessing that even though it stank my husband lost his job,
something I'd always wanted to do, came like a phoenix from the ashes,
(yes, I've been watching too much Harry Potter!)
but I'm here, and I survived this last year and most of all I have all of you to thank!
So THANK YOU to you all!
Thanks for supporting me, for being my friend and for making me laugh
through it all!
