We have a few more days for the on-line extravaganza – click the picture above and it will take right to the goodies that are on sale – get a start of your Christmas shopping!

When the holiday catalog came out at the beginning of September it was just full of products that I knew I could not do without!  I am always attracted to flowers and have to really control myself from choosing those over other designs.

The Petals and Paisleys suite of products is kind of flowery but they aren’t true flowers and I did resist them for a while but I gave in and  over the last few days I have shared a number of projects using these products and I have just one more to share.

Petals and Paisleys Thanksgiving ~ Stampin’ Up! Products

Earlier this month my husband celebrated a milestone birthday, he is my best friend, the father to two beautiful boys and Grandpa to 4 of the sweetest little granddaughters.  He also has the patience of a saint, never says a word when he comes home from work and there is a houseful of ladies  stampin’ cuttin’ and stickin’.  Bits of glitter and backs of dimensionals on the floor don’t phase him and will happily stand there manning a craft fair booth all day!

So this special fella deserves a special card…………………

We are coming up to the holiday season and gift exchanges.  I like to have a few small, decorated items on hand so I can hand out to folks to show how I appreciate them ~ it could be my hairdresser, the lady who does my nails, the mail lady …. oh just about everyone.

Today I am sharing a Lip Balm holder with a video to show some of the details, if you have folks in your lives, teachers, co-workers, crossing guard, maybe you would consider making something for them to show your appreciation.
