I’m gearing up to participate in my first Craft Expo. I’m very excited!! I’m about 6 weeks out from it but I know how fast time goes.
Over the weekend I made a bunch of wine charms. Then all I needed was a label. I wanted something wine themed so I went in search of images. Inspiration struck when I walked through our family room.
Why not use my painting?!?
A little help from photoshop and my label was complete.
I’m thinking about Christmas as well….
One of my chandelier bulbs recently burned out so now it has a new blinged out life.

This came from a small oddly shaped patchwork piece in my stash. It was going to be one of the tissue packs but got buried under other bits and pieces. 
Now I’m glad it did! 
Makes a cute puffy heart ornament.

This isn’t the final placement for my freshly crafted snowflake ornaments…
Our Christmas tree will go up the day after Thanksgiving. It’s one of our family traditions.

Last night I made the covers to complete the 12 Days of Christmas swap book.  It’s bound and will be enjoyed for years to come.

I’m thinking that I’ll put it away with the Christmas stuff so each year I can take it out and reminisce.

My blog kind of got away from me this holiday season. Luckily, the Friday Freebie post was scheduled or else that wouldn’t have happened either.  We had company both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day…in fact we still have a guest sleeping upstairs.

Lets get caught up with the 12 days of Christmas swap shall we…

On the 10th day of Christmas I opened 10 Lords a Leaping by Penny A.  This was very unique since it opens to reveal,

the Ten Commandments. Penny aged the paper which gave it a really nice look.

The 11th day had me opening the fun fabric bag with my name sewn at the top. Very cute…I’m hanging on to that goodie!

Inside the fabric bag was this great 11 Pipers Piping by Jackie.  Love the tartan. For some weird reason I couldn’t get the green cardstock to appear true to color…frustrating.

And finally, on the 12th day of Christmas we have Twelve Drummers Drumming by Rita. What a cute little guy to round out our pages.

I now will need to create covers and bind my book. But first I’ll need to thank one more person.

 Another art friend sent me a surprise on Thursday.  Isn’t this tree so darling! Kat did a beautiful job with this tree!

Here’s a view of the other side. I love it. Thank you Kat!!

Have you stuck with me throughout my rambling? I’d be impressed if you have.

Merry -belated- Christmas.

As promised…the gingerbread house made at school. There was more sugar than should be legal in a classroom!

The three bears crack me up…

especially when there is a fourth hiding behind a tree.

Wow, I just realized this was my 4th post of the day. I guess I’ve had things to say just no time to say them. Today was no exception but I did manage to get a ton of stuff done…apparently I work best under pressure.
