Encouragement Card

Hi!
This is a pinwheel card that I made for a very close friend, who also works in childcare! Working with children is an rewarding experience and at times, it can be a little challenging. I thought of her today and decided to make her an encouragement card. I pray she likes it. I watched a video on how to make it. It was very simple and fun to make. Carts used: Plantin Schoolbook; as well as cuttlebug and stamps. This technique was different for me, it's like a post card; flip it over and the Footprints is on the back. The base is 5.5x5.5!

Fancy Hat Handbag!

Hello! TGIF
This is the 1st project I've done this week. It's for my pastors' mother. Her birthday is today. She's a beautiful virtuous woman of God. She's always smiling and she loves her hats and small handbabgs, that shine! So I made this for her. Carts used: Plantin Schooolbook and Forever Young (I love this cart). I also used my cuttlebug. Inside are some note cards with stamped scriptures. It was a lot of fun making this. Thanks for looking.

Valentine Gifts

Hi! This is another project I've been working on, to give to the teenagers & ladies at church for Valentines day! Over on the Cricut MB there are these cute little cupcakes floating around and they are made out of socks! I know, I was surprised to! I got this idea from greenbean, thank you! Very simple and fun to make! These would make great gifts for any occasion! I put a lollipop as my "cherry"! For the holder, I don't have the Easter cart nor DS, so it took a lot of trial and error! Put them in the clear bags w/a tag and they are all ready to be worn! Cart used: Tags, Bags, Boxes & more

This one is going to the adult ladies at church! {I love making things for people, the smiles mean a lot to me!} I was searching the Internet for craft ideas and saw a lollipop candle. I had these flower pots, so I decided to make candle flowers! Very simple & cute!

Hello! What a week this has been! I thank God for keeping me. This week hasn't been easy, BUT it's been worth it! Ive been working on a lot of projects this week, on top of my regular responsibilities! This 1st one is a card for one of my daycare babies who turned the BIG 2 over the weekend! Carts used: Doodlecharms & Plantin Schoolbook (?). This 2nd project is for my father's birthday! I wanted to send something different with the card I made (I forgot to take a picture of & it's off to CA)! I did a LO of us zip lining at the Wild Animal Zoo for Christmas.

Dolphin LO

San Diego Whale/Dolphin Watch! More details below. Thanks for looking!

These are more pics from CA; Whale/Dolphin watch. It was so amazing to watch the dolphins play on the side of the ship! I felt like they put on a show just for me!!! When I 1st saw them, they weren't that close. I really wanted them to come closer & by the time I blinked a gray/white one jumped up right beside the ship! My camera was in my hand, but I forgot to push the button. It was like 5 of them jumping, twirling, & talking. By the time I remembered to snap the pic, he was going back in the water. I'm so glad I got a couple of pictures. My dad's wife was able to get the on video. Thanks for looking.

Baby Whale Blow LO

On Christmas Eve, my dad, Wanda & I went to watch the whales & dolphins out on the Pacific Ocean. It was 3 hours of peacefulness; so relaxing! When we first got on the ship, our coats weren't on, but by the time the ship started moving, they were on. About 30 minutes later, we had on hats, gloves and scarves. Although it was extremely cold, Wanda & I stayed out on the tip of the ship the majority of the time (alone w/a guy from Ireland)! We saw all of the seals up close & watched the dolphins play/swim on the side of the ship. It was amazing. We kept trying to get pictures of them playing, but they are so fast. I did manage to get 2, 1 of the jumping back in the water & the other is just his shadow under the water. Now for the whales, we only saw the blow of a baby whale. The instructor on the ship said it was a young baby who was more than likely separated from his mom. We saw him attempting to get his tail/fin out of the water, but he couldn't get it out of the water. We did see him do some blows. God's creations are wonderful!!!
