I made a "few" easel boxes and milk cartons/holders for my husband's co-workers. I also attempted my first shaker cards. Except for the glitter I'm still finding three months later, they were incredibly fun to make! Ha!
I needed a space to share my projects with family and friends. When God does amazing things in our lives, I just may share them here too! We've had some rough years because of medical issues, but God has guided us through each and every challenge. I'm so thankful to have Jesus as my Savior!

Christmas Boxes & Cards
I made a "few" easel boxes and milk cartons/holders for my husband's co-workers. I also attempted my first shaker cards. Except for the glitter I'm still finding three months later, they were incredibly fun to make! Ha!
Gifts
It's always fun to make gifts for those you love! I helped Bubba make his lil sis these letters and a door hanger for Christmas.
I painted this for my aunt who loves Mickey Mouse!
Halloween
Halloween Treats and Silly Puppies
I made Bacon & Eggs costumes for our dogs this year!
Here are a few treat boxes that I made for the kiddos in the family.
Peg Dolls
Peg Dolls
Here are a few pictures of the peg dolls that I have painted for family and friends. They were so much fun to do and took very little time. It was very relaxing for me. I also painted the storage boxes.

My Faves
My Favorite Things!
You have to know that my love of stamping began with my sister-in-law. She showed me her craft room and I was hooked. Now, granted, I don't have even a quarter of what this lady has! But, my husband allows me to indulge in a "few" goodies. I love flipping through Pinterest and the many craft blogs out there looking for new ideas and techniques. I love making cards, but recently started making boxes and milk cartons using tutorials found on Youtube. Here are a few of my favorite things.
The Stamps of Life
Stephanie Barnard's The Stamps of Life are my go-to stamp and dies. I absolutely love her stuff. I am a member of her monthly Stamp Club, Die Hard Club, and Card Kit Club. Like I said...hubby has spoiled me! Stephanie has incredible videos and card galleries filled with ideas to get you started. Members get a discount (who doesn't like saving money!) and her stamps are always on trend. Her videos crack me up and I'm sure you'll agree.
Queen & Co
Ohh boy. Can you say BLING?!? I LOVE their bling. There is just something about adding little bits of sparkle here and there. It just makes things "pop". I never thought I'd be a fan of rhinestones and glitter, but I was oh-so-very wrong.
Tombow Mono Liquid Glue
When making boxes, there is nothing better than this liquid glue. It holds quickly and dries clear. I used this at Christmas when I made 60+ milk cartons for my husband's co-workers. So, yeah, I didn't have time to mess around with glue that didn't hold!
