More Monkey Business

Just a quick post today... I'm making some more baby shower goodies for another friend.

These ones are 11 1/2" monkeys. They are for table centerpieces and are on a dowel about 19" long. Oh, and each monkey is double sided!

Hope you all had a fun and safe week! Thanks for stopping by!

Just Monkey-ing Around!

A quick post to share the baby shower favors I'm making for a shower my sister is throwing...

I used SU and SEI Dill Blossom papers, Cricut's Create A Critter, and SU cellophane bags. I filled the bags with Skittles for the sample but I think I'll go to a candy shop and get those cute little banana-shaped hard candies for the shower!

Tomorrow is the last day of school for my kids (YAAAYYY!!) so I'm hoping to get more time to post.... Thanks for hanging in there with me!

Missing My Blog!!!

I am SOOO sorry I have been neglecting my Blog! But a HUGE Thank You to those of you that are still hangin' around!!

I've been making cards here and there, but mostly sitting around playing with my new beautiful Granddaughter! Who'd-a-thot it would be so much fun!!

Anyway, back to crafts.... I found these really cool wooden boxes at Michael's in the $1 bin and couldn't resist buying a couple to decorate!

I used the CTMH Sophia paper and rub-ons, and found a couple other embellies to decorate it!

I am also STILL working on a box of cards to send to OWH and made some Thinking of You's to throw in the box!!

Unfortunately I have no idea where I got these beautiful DP's from... Sorry!!

Again, Thank You to those of you that are still visiting during your Blog hopping!!

Banners

Here are some photos of the banner I made my new granddaughter!

I used the "Lucy" paper collection from CTMH and embellishments from my stash. I also used the Kate's ABC's Cricut cartridge to cut out the letters and SU ribbon to tie it all together!

Happy Easter!!

Presidents and a Tu-Tu!

My original plan was for this Blog to be used for just my cards and papercrafts, but as I get deeper and deeper into crafts, I'm feeling the need to share some other stuff.... Stuff I NEVER thought I would get into!!

The 1st thing I want to share is one of the craziest projects any of my kids have had to do that I can remember! My 5th grader did a President report on Andrew Jackson, and she had to make a doll out of a soap bottle. Although this isn't something I'm looking forward to doing again (which WILL happen next year with my youngest daughter!), we were pretty proud of what we came up with!

This is supposed to be Andrew Jackson and Franklin D. Roosevelt!!

The next thing I want to share is quite possibly the cutest thing I've ever made!!!

After a visit to one of our local craft stores, Tall Mouse, I couldn't resist trying my hand at tu-tu's!!

This will be for my granddaughter that is due sometime in March, Arianna Lucille (I'm going to call her Lucy!)

In honor of my little Lucy and back to papercrafts, I just wanted to throw a picture of some of the ladies I got together with to make an 'I Love Lucy' mini album!

Thanks for stopping by!!
