Santa here HO! HO! HO! and Frosty too!

These little books were purchased a few years ago at Wal-Mart for .98 cents during Christmas. I embossed on them and made a few up as gifts and put the rest away. As some of you know I recently organized and re-pained my Stampin' Studio and now when I need something I know right where to find it. (I found all kinds of goodies during this revamping) Anyhow, this Extreme Home Party event has me making things like crazy this is one of them. Hope you enjoy.

I do want to apologize for not posting a "recipe" at this time. Hopefully after Saturday I can come back and post some tutorials and recipes.

Thanks again for stopping by....

Let it SNOW......

A few months back I painted and organized by Stamp Room, I found 10 CD Calendar holders with 2005 calendars. I kept the CD holders and made new calendars for them. I just love BIG on Christmas and I love Snowmen....

Milk Delivery Christmas Style!!

WOW! When I first saw this on Becky Roberts Blog I had to make it. I set out to make a bunch for my booth ...... I have to admit there is a lot more work to it than meets the eye. I did get 4 sets completed and two others one for Valentines and everyday. I'll post pictures later when I complete the finishing touches.

I'm still here.....Getting ready for the Extreme Home Party

Hello everyone, I have been busy getting things made for my upcoming participation in my first big vendor event. I have been chosen as one of the vendors for the EXTREME HOME PARTY "The Ultimate Shopping Experience" held each year at our local Race Track Turfway Park. Nikki and I are so excited, we have both been working hard making hand stamped Gift Items to sell and displays to entice customers to our booth and inspire them to try our fabulous Stampin' Up! products.

If you are free on November 22nd between 10:00 - 3:00 stop by and say hello. Admission is FREE and Door prizes will be awarded every half hour throughout the day!

We each were required to donate a door prize this is mine. It has one of my Purse in a Bag's with 6 coordinating cards and a candle, Idea Book and Catalog, Mini Catalog, Decor Elements Brochure. They will also have many greeter's working to help the event run smoothly we were asked to give 2 small gifts to thank them.


I pulled out some old gable boxes and tissue paper and wheeled them and added a tag. I put a glass ornament and candle into the gable box for my gift.

Thanks for stopping in to take a look,
