Cole and Devin's birthday Cakes

Cole wanted a Mario Brothers cake and Devin wanted Toy Story for their birthday bash this year...both of which were a lot of fun to make! Pretty proud of these ones!!

Kyle's birthday cake

Nickelodeon scrapbook page

This is a scrapbook page I made of Cole after he got slimed at Nickelodeon...I like how this came out!

I am such a blog loser....

So, I just can't seem to get the hang of this blogging thing! As you can tell I haven't touched either of my blogs (this crafty one, nor my family one) since December-ish...I really just don't think about it! I am going to set a goal to be better and start getting stuff on-line...matter of fact I will go see if I have anything I can start adding today!

Back in March when I had my ankle surgery I decided to try my hand at crochet...and found that I really quite enjoy it! I just finished this hat and blanket for my new niece Gracelyn. I've also made a couple of blankets for friends and a really cute pair of skull potholders that I will try to get my friends to send pics of so I can get them uploaded! The blanket was really fun to make and Im proud of how it came out!

Also, I made myself a pair of wristlets. I have an issue with my hands being cold all the time and thought that maybe these would help!

This year's Christmas Cards

Im trying to get back into making all my own cards. I ran out of time this year, but I will be mailing out some homemade ones this year. Here are a couple of examples....







The snowman set is a teachers gift I made for Cole's teacher and teacher's assistant. They are each getting a tin with a matching card set inside.

The Santa Claus one was an example I found on the My Favorite Things website where I got the stamp, Im not sure who designed it but she is amazing!
