MERRY CHRISTMAS

Have a Merry Christmas everyone!  And God's blessings to everyone!

Christmas Holy Card

I have been collecting Vintage Holy Cards for several years and I find that I have a hard time doing or parting with them.  I was hoping that this year I would have the time to make something with them or at least get them scanned into my computer but of course life got in the way again.  I have several Christmas ones so I will post them for you to see.  


In regards to Christmas decorating,  I hope to get up and going this week - finally - this is my favorite holiday and I just could not get going early enough and I've gotten grumpy about it.  I have to keep reminding myself that it's not just about decking your house but also a time to prepare yourself to receive Him and what blessings He brings.  

Take care everyone and don't burn out on Christmas -  remember, "He's the reason for the Season".

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

First, I would like to wish each and everyone of you a Blessed Thanksgiving Day.  I hope you are blessed abundantly in the company of family and friends.  


I wanted to share my very first paper wreath...I am too happy with it even though It took a while to get all those cones done.  I got the clip art from the Graphics Fairy, it's a fabulous site with oodles of free downloadable clip art.  Check it out.


I chose the work family and the crown because family is extremely important in our lives.  

 I hope the pictures are not out of focus.  I didn't have my glasses on.  Take care everyone.

Remember these?

Well I finally got to finish this cloth pumpkins.  I scoured the net for patterns but finally decided to just trust my own intuition and go with it.  I check out a few tutorials and went for it.  I am glad I did because I usually change things anyway, even if I have a pattern - something about being creative I guess.  Anyway here is what I came up with.

Before:

This is what the large ones looked like - $2 soft pillows.

After

Doesn't this look like an apple?

Bye friends...

Sharing Fall goodness

Aren't these pomegranates beautiful?  My sis sent them to me because she knows how much I love to eat them and how I like to take pictures.  

Happy Fall Saturday everyone!


Also stay tuned as I am preparing a scrapbooking giveaway sponsored by MyMemories.  Hope you return and enter.

Linking Up To I Heart Macro

Very Late for  I Heart Macro Sunday but nonetheless, here are some pictures of what I have on my work table - can't seem to get any projects done - just too much work and I get home exhausted, with all my creativity zapped out of 

me .

I was playing with my camera and discovered it had a color feature.  I turned on the sepia option and this is what I came up with.  I love how the paste brooch turned out- missing a stone though.  

These next ones are the original colors

And with these I chose the vivid color option.  Can you see the difference.  It's slight but I can see it.

Guess what these are?  Give up?  

They are gigantic stuffed baseballs (they must be throw pillows) I picked them up at a local store as they were clearing them out.  What I deal, $1.99 each, they are around 15 inches round - yes a few are a little grimy but nothing that a spot cleaner and Fabreeze can't take care of. Guess what I've going to make with them?  Something easy peasy...stay tuned.

Have a great weekend.
