Hello.....

It seems like it has been forever since I have posted on my blog. YIKES! It has been forever...or at least 5 months. ;) Where does the time go? Since moving back to Alabama life has kept me so busy that there doesn't seem time to craft these days, but I am trying to find time to at least make some cards. I recently finished 100 wedding invitations & while I was at it I decided to make a few cards to share.

First up is this card that I made for my niece. She loved the bright fun colors & the cupcakes. :)

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss...

Today is Dr. Seuss' 107th birthday. My niece's (Anna Scott) 2nd grade class had a birthday party for him this morning. She wanted to take cupcakes & of course I wanted to make something to send to her for the party. I made Dr. Seuss cupcake toppers. Her Mimi made the cupcakes for her. The cute tutu skirt was made by her Mom. Their neighbor appliquéd a Dr. Seuss panel on her shirt with Anna Scott's favorite quote, "I know it is wet and the sun is not sunny, but we can have lots of good fun that is funny."

It was fun to finally get my crafting mojo back. Dr. Seuss is one of my favorites, but I am sure that my husband is tired of me walking around spouting quotes from the books. ha! My favorite this week is "When a fox is in the bottle where the tweetle beetles battle with their paddles in a puddle on a noodle-eating poodle." That's a tongue twister! :)

Some of the iPhone pix are not the best....sorry! :(

Hope you like the toppers & thanks for stopping by....

War Eagle....GO AUburn!!

24 hours until kickoff! Words can not express my excitement! It has been a long wait to see my AUburn Tigers in the National Championship game. Thought I would share a few of my favorite AU items. They have all been a must for every game this season (except for the basket..it was a Christmas gift). :)




Good luck AUburn! We'll be cheering loudly.... Waaaarrrrrrr Eagle!!!!

Happy 2011 & War Eagle!!!

It has been so long since I signed on to my blog that it took a while to remember my password. Sad! :( I'm going to try to do better in 2011. I wanted to wish everyone all the best in the New Year! 2010 was a trying year, but I'm looking forward to a much better year in 2011. I'm ready to get back into crafting. I've missed it and all my blog friends.

Good news!! Have you heard that my AUburn Tigers are playing in the national championship? ;) We are beyond excited! It has been a long time coming & I can't wait until Monday - 1/10/11! War Eagle!!


I do have one thing to share. I wanted a new wreath to hang above my mantle. I didn't want to buy one so I made mine using ornaments & supplies that I had on-hand. It is a BIG wreath and weighs a ton, but I'm happy with the way it turned out. I spent a total of $8 on a few extra supplies. Look forward to hearing what you think about it! :)




My next goal is to make some cards to share...hope that I haven't forgotten how to make them. haha! I would love to do some quick, easy card challenges. If you know of any please share them with me. Thanks!

Altered Clipboard & Paperclip Bookmark

I'm finally feeling better....this sinus infection has been never-ending. :-( Thanks for all the sweet emails & posts...I appreciate your thinking of me. :-)

As some of you know my niece Kaesey is my biggest fan, she loves anything that I make. :-) She is becoming very crafty herself. I'm looking forward to her next visit. She called me a few weeks ago and needed a gift for a friend's birthday. She told that anything I wanted to make was fine, but all her friends loved the paperclip bookmarks that we made. I decided on an altered clipboard & paperclip bookmark for her friend McKenzie. They have been shipped & I hope that she enjoys her gifts.

Clipboard

She Lives.. :-)

Oh my goodness...I have been so sick. ICK!! I'm feeling some better & go back to the doctor tomorrow... hopefully I will be much approved later in the week. I miss crafting and visiting my favorite blogs. :-(

Just wanted to check in while I felt like it....thanks for stopping by!!

Who Dat? Geaux Saints!!

Have to give a shout-out to the New Orleans Saints this Super-Bowl Sunday. Growing up in Louisiana I've waited all my life to see the Saints in a "Supa-Beauxl". Today is the day!! :-) To say I'm Supa-Excited is an understatement. I only wish they weren't playing the Colts...they are my 2nd favorite team. The Colts & Peyton Manning are a class-act. I had the pleasure of knowing Peyton during his early years at UT and he is truly one of the nicest young men you could ever wish to meet. With that being said...I still must root for my Saints!! Geaux Saints!! May the best team win. :-)

Sorry that I haven't shared any more cards this week. I have had an icky sinus infection and terrible headaches, so my cards didn't get completed. :-( I'm feeling much better & coloring some images now...hope to have them finished soon. I have found more super-cute digital stamps this weekend...my latest find is Sassy Cheryl's. Adorable!! Love that instant download feeling. :-) Between Cheryl & Mo I'm in coloring heaven. There are a few other sites that I found, but haven't purchased yet...will let you know the verdict as soon as I decide which ones to buy. Decisions...decisions!!

Time for me to go have a beauxl of Geaux Saints Gumbo......mmmmmm!! My husband is the best Cajun cook. It's in his blood!!

Thanks for stopping by....have a blessed evening!!
