Henry's wood collection

My son started junior high school and one of his electives is wood shop. He has made several projects and for extra credit brough home these wonderful cut outs. He gifted them to his younger sister. She is a lucky lady. 

Valentines decorations.

I have started decorating for Valentines day. Here are just two of my creations. Much to my husbands dismay there will be more to come. 

January Stamp Club

The January stamp club met last Friday. We had a great time. We took Dec. off so we had a lot of catching up. Our theme was valentines day.

 The hugs and kisses banner was made by Carey and Jene. I have already set it up in my home. 

Terri created this banner for all of us to make. I just love it. The rolled flowers stole my heart. 

This gold and black valentine is from Terri. 

Monica is back with us, this is her goregous red foil flowered card. 

Chris sent this layed lovely card. 

Cindy created this dynamic shaker card so elegant. 

Kim brought this cuter than ever penguine card. Love it. 

This is my card. I went with a minimal approach. 

Inside. This is the make and take I came up with to share with the ladies. 

On a sad note my dear friend has lost her husband to a long health battle. We work together and have a big group of ladies that want to express their hearts to her. I made this card for all of us to sign. 

The envelope maker.

No large scrap of paper is safe from me and the envelope maker. I love having the power of envelope making in my hands. Yahoo!  

A New Year and new card making.

I have 3 friends with birthdays in the first 5 days of January. I got busy this first day of January and love what happened. 

My front door wreath Christmas 2013

I keep forgetting to take a picture of my Christmas wreath. I transform my wreat with each major holiday so this is what Christmas looks like. 

My attempt at sewing.

We lost our beautiful Nana this Aug.  Poppop was cleaning out her things and the idea of making a quilt out of her things came up.  We picked out her favorites and this is what I sewed together.  We gave it to Poppop for Christmas and he liked it. It brought out a lot of emotions from the daughters and grand daughters. It's not perfectly made but perfect in its own way. 

I had enough leftovers for this smaller sized one for the "baby" of the family. Jojo loved it. It made my Christmas.
