Christmas Tear Bear Piecings

Hello! I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far! Mine started off with Kaylee waking up at 3am this morning as sick as can be :(. Poor little thing! So she ended up staying home with me, instead of going to her dad's. I'm getting ready to re-list a bunch of items back my store and also list my new Christmas items. I will try to be better at blogging my new items, but life just gets away from me sometimes and I don't know whether I'm coming or going (LOL). I hope to get caught up eventually because I need to work on Kaylee's album for Grandma that I started a couple weeks ago.
Anyways, here are the Christmas bears I have listing today. I have a mocha and also panda version of each design.
I do have some more Christmas themed items to make and you should see those soon.
IMPORTANT...PLEASE READ:
With my new store open and being a single mom, there just isn't enough time in the day for everything. Please know that I will sadly not be taking any more custom orders. I hope that you understand my situation and my reasoning behind my decision.
Thank you all for visiting me today and have a great weekend!

Still Here!!!!

Hello everyone! Yes, I'm still here! Just been really really busy this week! Over this past weekend a customer came in and bought out most of my store, which was AWESOME....I think it ended up being 72 items to make this week. It has been very stressful but today I am working on the last few items and getting ready to ship out (YAY)! This weekend I will be replenishing my store and also "finally" be adding some Christmas items. I know I have been saying that for a couple weeks now, but I just kept getting buried in more work. But no matter what....this weekend will be THE weekend!!!
I'm glad to have my laptop back......it has been overheating for a while and keeps shutting itself off (gets very annoying especially in the middle of something). Anyways, we took it in yesterday and had it cleaned out and works like a charm today!!! I had NO idea "that" much dirt, dust, and ummm.....cat hair could sneak up in there (LOL)!!!
See you soon!

Happy Halloween

I hope everyone had a Fun and Safe Halloween yesterday!!! I know we sure did and boy, am I tired?!?!? I wanted to share these pics from yesterday. We had such a fun time....we started out at our Church Carnival and then went trick or treating from there. So much fun and entertainment packed into 4 hours!!


I am going to start working on my stuff for Christmas presents this week. I can't believe it is 2 months until Christmas!!! I have SO much to make I hope I can get them all done before then.

I know alot of you are waiting for my Christmas bears and I will hopefully start rolling those out later this week.

My "Purr-fect Kitty"
Here is my new haircut. See, it's not so short (LOL)! I received alot of worries from people thinking that since I got 11 inches cut off that I would have a "boy" haircut now. But I don't think alot of people were aware that my hair was REALLY REALLY long! I love this pic of Kaylee and I.


Here Kaylee is at the coloring table at the Carnival
And here she is doing the Cake Walk.



And here is one of the nice men helping her "fish".

Pumpkin Carving

Good morning! I've been a bad blogger again, I know. So sorry!!! Life has just been so crazy here lately seems like I can't get anything done. Here are some pics from over the weekend when I let Kaylee carve her pumpkin. I won't show you the end result because well...I didn't take any pics of the final product. We had a cute Dora pattern (printed off Nick Jr dot com) and I did start it, but it was too hard and I have no patience! So I quit and just let her draw on the pumpkins with markers which she had a better time with than sitting around watching me mess with it.
Then on Monday I had to take Kaylee to the doctor and turns out she has a bladder infection. But it looks like they caught it early which is great. They also took chest x-rays and they turned out clear (she has a horrible cough). Thank goodness it's nothing else!!!
Yesterday Kaylee and I got our hair cut. Kaylee's just a couple inches (still trimming to get it all even from when she gave herself a hair cut back in May). And me.....well.......I got 11 inches cut off to donate to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. My hair is soooo different now but I think I like it. It still sits right on top of my shoulders so it isn't too short. And when people see me and say "Oh My Gosh...you cut your hair!!" ....then I can say "I donated it" and feel all better!!!
Anyways, busy day today finishing up Kaylee's Frankie boxes for her party tomorrow. We have an electrician coming tonight to replace our breaker box (which is in my scraproom) so I have to pack all of my loose items up and move some cabinets out of his way. Might do some rearranging when I have to move everything back tomorrow.
Have a great day everyone!!!

Frankie Treat Box

What a treat I have to share with you today!!! This is my project for this weekend. Kaylee's Preschool Halloween party is on Thursday and this is what she will be bringing to pass out to all the kids. Isn't he cute? I made a few different styles of treat holders and this was the best and cutest one. After much deliberating on "what" to put in the bag the final verdict is Halloween Oreo's. I couldn't find one particular candy that would be best for all ages, so cookies it is. And even if they don't like oreo's they can still lick the icing off of them right?? (that's what Kaylee does) I got this template over at my favorite place for little knick-knacks --Angie's Chic n' Scratch tutorial page. I just love her!! She posts the cutest little projects and even films a video on it! Thanks for visiting me today and have a fabulous weekend!!

Pumpkin Patch

Good morning! Sunday we spent the afternoon at the Pumpkin Patch and Kayee had a terrific time. She ended up coming home with 3 pumpkins. She just "had" to have 1 big one and 2 little ones. But she was such a good girl that I didn't argue with her. Here are some of my favorite shots from the day:

My New Ebay Store

Good evening! After much discussion and deliberation during this past weekend I have decided to take the plunge and re-open my EBAY STORE to offer more items to my buyers. All the items I will list in my store will have a special heading that informs the buyer that the particular item they are looking at will be made after their payment is made. I promise to make the item(s) ordered as quickly as possible but have included a note to please allow up to a week for completion just in case being a mommy takes over my scrapping time. I have a new banner (seen below and on the right side of my blog) that you can click on to take you directly to my new store. I know it is going to take me a few weeks to get a full store listed, so I will list a little at a time....as I have a LOT of designs to go through. I have met a lot of really terrific people through ebay and my blog and I hope to continue to serve each and every one of you! Have a blessed day and see you soon!
