CHRISTmas Thank You's

My Scrap box is overflowing Jessica can't keep up;)

I used up some the other day creating thank you cards for my kiddos to send out.

The circles are punched at 1"

Using PTI and SU paper scraps

The sentiment is from PTI  Botanical Silhouettes

God Bless.

Happy Hello

I am always short on cards this time of year after gifting and donations etc.  I had to find something that I liked and was quick.  Bonus doing this used up lots of 12 by 12 paper I have.  Get rid of it quick and get a new stock pile for submissions;)

I took and envelop apart carefully, traced and cut it out.  

Then I stamped a greeting in the corner leaving lots of room for writing.

Simple and I like the results, in no time I had a good stack.

Happy Creating, God Bless!

Pretty Angry Skeletons

Jessica in her new Angry Bird shirt now she matches Mom.  Yep, we are Angry Bird junkies!

She wanted an iPad for CHRSITmas no, she did not get one because that would be insane.

The ground is so dry, no measurable snow to date.  

I received the most Beautiful book for CHRISTmas thought I would share that as well...

You can read a preview and see some pics on this link

Subway Art

Yesterday I shared with you the free links for CHRISTmas subway art you can find the links here

CHRISTmas Subway ART Free printables

I was waiting for night because there are so many shadows in this room during the day for picture snapping however, I am not sure that even helped to wait.  So sorry for a BLAH pic, looks so grand IRL.

I printed off the subway art in 5 by 7 so they would fit in the frames I had.  My DH calls me the woodpecker because I am always putting holes in the walls.  Not today baby, I am using what I have;)

A few pine boughs and cones from outside and suddenly the wall is festive for CHRISTmas.

I was in need of some quick ornaments, the CHRISTmas program for church snuck up on me.  I am so disappointed that the Church  caved and switched the program from CHRISTmad eve because people are busy.  Too busy to celebrate CHRIST this season in the church, so disturbing for me!!!! 

Thanks for listening to my little rant moving on now to show you the ornament. 

 I printed off the subway art 9 to a page (wallet size setting for my printer).  I just had to trim them up a bit to fit inside.  Inside what?  A Name Badge holder!  A touch of PTI Pure Poppy ribbon and I was set.  I also made it reversible.  

Okay, for this one I found a nativity silhouette online and printed it off so it would fit a...Button.  I have had them for ever in my stash I thought it would work wonderfully and it did;)

Thank You

I want to take time right now while my Home is quiet to kindly say THANK YOU to all of my Blog readers and followers.  The past two years have been plain crazy around here and I have not been doing a great job of posting.

Donna has healed so wonderfully and has matured to a wonderful Woman.  I am so very proud of our Daughter.

My wonderful husband was hospitalized  very close to death this past spring.  He is learning a bit faster now that he has to overcome his extremely bad eating habits and he can no longer stick to his southern ways.  He was accepted to the VA for health insurance.  Such a burden lifted when that day arrived.

I on the other hand was caught off gauard when my knee dislocated.  I had no idea the damage that had been done and the long road of recovery.  I will have to travel 6 months on this path.  So I am sure my blogging start to January is not going to be a record breaker however, I am starting to wind downhill now;)

These happenings, as big of struggle they were to overcome the GRACE and learning that come from them are truly AMAZING.

So THANK YOU.  I appreciate each and everyone of you.  May God Bless you and your family in the New Year.  May God bring peace, calm and health to my Family in the coming year.

I am leaving some links to BW subway art I have printed off to beautify our home for CHRISTmas.  I have to wait to take a pic there is so many shadows in the photo it is hard to see it as glorious as it is IRL.

Fake Feebreeze

My SIL loves the smell of Gain and wishes her entire house cold smell like it.  

Well guess what kiddo here you go...

Fake Febreeze

Reclaim your income and the landfills!!!!

1/8 C of your favorite scented fabric softener

1 TSP Baking soda

Reclaimed Febreeze Bottle

Warm tap water to fill up the rest of the room in the bottle.

I used some chalkboard paint on my old Hawaiian scented Febreeze bottle and  some chalk.  

I also placed my Baking soda in a glass jar, reclaiming both the glass and the pour spout lid from an old salt container.  So much easier that that dang box and it will stay dry and not soak up odors.

***I have found this very slippery on vinyl flooring so be careful where you are spraying***

Both of these ideas were found on
