Angel's among us?

This is my second Christmas without my Aunt Sharon. As I decorate our home for Christmas I am reminded of her over and over. So many things I decorate with were gifts from her. Tonight as I opened yet another box of Christmas decorations I saw it. The Angel tree topper my Aunt had given me years ago. I always thought it looked a little like her.

As I began to clean up from my night of decorating I saw the plastic container that my husband had found downstairs. A container I had not laid eyes on for some time. As I opened this container I saw it! The wicker mini picnic basket that she had given me filled with recipe cards for our wedding. I had kept the cards in the kitchen with her recipes but had lost track of this recipe box. I was sooooo happy to have found it! Over the next few days I will post my Aunt's recipes.

I wanna scraplift this!

Uppercase Living Gift

This is for a substitute teacher my daughter has had this year. Tomorrow is her last day subbing! She has been more than a teacher and will be missed by my daughter.

We used one of our rub ons that are given at Uppercase Living parties. Filled the jar with Hugs Kisses and it is now ready for gift giving.

Max

This is our new pet hamster Max. Max is a winter white dwarf hamster. He is dark gray and his fur will lighten to white over the Winter months.

Disney On Ice

We went to see Disney on Ice yesterday. It was okay... we had seen it a few years ago and it was basically the same show with just a few new acts. My daughter took this picture.

Giving Tree

My son's school is putting up a "Giving Tree" the idea is if you would like to buy a gift for a classroom then you can take a tag from the tree. The tag will have the teacher's name and one item from his/her wishlist. For example: Puzzles

I volunteered to help with this and to make the tags. Here are 13 of my 16 prototypes. I need to make 160 of these!! I used my cricut and design studio (for ease) and the Christmas Cheer catridge.

Cards for Soldiers

I attended a crop last month with some cricut message board friends. I was truely amazed watching Char make cards for soldiers. She ended up making 300 that weekend. I decided that I could send some cards to soldiers too! So here is my contribution of 30. Not 300 but it is a start! Thanks for the inspiration Char!

If you would like to be a part of cards for soldiers please join us here:
