I am addicted to Embossing and Stamps

Hello all. I just joined a Stamp It Up group, and I love it. One more thing for me to do. Samantha and I had lot's of fun and I made what I think is a pretty card. It is Christmas tree decorating time and I will start that tomorrow. I have now 4 trees. ranging from 10 ft to 2 ft. I will start to post things as I move thru the holiday season. The present pile is growing.

Everyone Meet Milly!!!

I started off with just Tily, my sister Taylor and my niece Lily gave her to me. Later our family grew when we got Katie, who used to be Taylor and Lily's dog. Well Tily had babies recently, and no matter how much you don't think you won't get attached, well Mily fit right in. She is going to be vacationing for a while with my mother because she needs better home training than I can give her, I am about to lose my mind. I love her dearly but for my sanity, she will be vacationing. All kid's need to visit their grandparents right? The black one is Katie and the one in the window is Tily.

Halloween, It's finally here!!!!!!!!!

Well I have done all that I can do i guess, all the goody bags are made, and the cookies are bagged. I love to do this for all the little kids that are close to me. and since I don't have my own kids to spoil, I will spoil all the other kids.

Happy Birthday Allison !!!!!

My friend Allison's Birthday is soon, so last night I was in a crafting mood. So I decided I wanted to make her a cupcake card. So I sat there at my new crafting table with all my new baskets and totes and started to work. after about 15 minutes I knew that i needed help. I started looking at the Internet to get ideas, and I found a template that I was trying to get in my head. I printed it and the size was all wrong, so my wonderful husband thinks that it is time to teach me Photoshop, I would rather just let him do it, he is amazing at photoshop and knows it better than anyone, but it would take him years to teach me, why should I learn it if I have him is my way of thinking (lol). Anyway, I got the card made and I had to make the envelope, and wrapped the present. I love this time of year, all the presents to wrap. All my friends get me to wrap their presents, they hate wrapping, I love it. If I don't blog before Halloween, HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!!!!!!

It's almost here !!!

Halloween is almost here and Dawn and I have been busy. I worked in the kitchen the other day making suckers and hard candy. Dawn came over on Sat. to help make candy apples. I thought we would never get started because of our party city trip. It looked like walmart the day after Christmas in there. Me and Dawn thought it would be a great idea for her and I and three count it, three kids to just run in. Never again. they did not have everything we needed so we still had to make a trip to the Walmart. Finally we made it here and got to work, i have to say for our first time making them, they look fabulous. Here is some pictures and I am gonig in there in a sec to start the caramel apples, yum! Ok I have made the caramel apples, not as easy as the candy.

I must be crazy, no I just love them

So i think sometimes that i think I can do it all, but i can't. I thought it would be a great idea to have the girls over to help make pawpaw Dickie goodies to send to him for his birthday, well it is hard to get things done how they need to be with 4 different age groups. Lily is just like me, she loves to bake and do crafts, and Felicia loves to help but, she gets bored easily and kendall, rather be writing or drawing. So we set out to make several things, like peanut butter cookies dipped in chocolate, boiled cookies, mini pies, hard candy, browine bites and a few other things. here are the results.
