Decisions, Decisions :)

Well, there are some Christmas traditions I just flat out love.

Decorating the tree together, baking homemade cookies while listening to my favorite songs from years ago, (AKA-Thisselhair the Christmas Bear by Alabama tops the list :) and sending and receiving Christmas cards! I seriously LOVE openign my mailbox and seeing all the sweet holiday wishes from friends and family far and near. Makes me smile! If you one to do your cards a little later than others (Yep, I'm a late card sender :) then you really should look into getting your cards from Shutterfly.

I actuially had no idea about the plethora of designs they offered, but when my good friend of a billion years, Allie, sent my card from her and her hubby, I thought it was adorable! It was heavy in weight, glossy, and super duper nice! I myself LOVE Christmas photo cards, so of course I was going to love it!

Here are 2 of my FAV designs. Haven't decided which photo card I am going to get yet, but I will be choosing one of these 2!!!

I LOVE the ability to share multiple pictures on my cards! We do so much all year, and this is my chance to fill our family adn friends on on the festivities!!!! PLUS- did you see the pink in it?!?! LOL- gotta get my fix somewhere!!!

The other option is

I just LOVE the caption. I feel like I have SO much to be grateful for and I feel SO blessed, so this seems fitting!!!

So, if you haven't finished or ordered your Christmas cards, head over and check out Shutterfly! I am glad I did! AND if you hurry- you can get in on a great promo to get 50 FREE cards!!! (I did!!!) But you have to hurry b/c registration closes tomorrow!!! Tell them 62Cards sent you :) http://bit.ly/sfly2010

Picture Cube Fun!

Seriously, where has December gone to? 2010 for that matter?! My dad told me when I was in high school that after I graduated, time would fly by. I probably rolled my eyes and said, "Suuurreeee it will." in my most "whatever" tone. Now, I know what he meant. I never remember time going by so quick as a child or teen!!

Anyways, I am IN LOVE with making these FUN picture cubes!!! These will make cute preschool teacher gifts and neighbor gifts too!! Love it!!!

GUESS WHAT?- I have a big 12 days of Giveaways coming up!!!! Sounds like fun? Stay tuned for more!!!!!

Craft Fair Time

Well, no matter what you have planned today, I hope it is crafty and fun :) My mom and I are at a 23rd annual Holiday Halls Arts and Crafts show! At this show, everything has to be handmade. I love that :) You may be surprised that I actually have VERY little paper crafting at shows! Paper crafts like I do are much more of an online item. All the customizing and pictures sell it online, not at a show!

So, what do I do at shows? Here are a few pics from a show a couple weeks ago! Now everything at this show did not have to be handmade, so my mom had several things from her children's show, like the backpacks, that were for resale.

 Here are my rolled ribbon and fabric magnetic brooches, pins, clips, etc. a topiary, a few cards, and my applique'd onesies.

 Jumbo magnetic clothespins! Used for the fridge or upside down for a picture holder!

 More applique's onesies and mom's backpacks :) (If you need a backpack, I can get you any of the ones seen for $24 and that includes embroidery :)

My tulle puff headbands for girls and mom had a lot of Christmas ornaments, fabric bibs, burps, cloth napkins, kids napkins, etc!

FUN TIMES! :)

Have a great Saturday everyone!!!

Shopping Tip of the day :)

Happy Friday everyone!

Don't you just love getting boxes of goodies in the mail???  I picked up these fab things over at DCRU! She is having a QuicKutz csale too. NOTHING over $10, not even the alphabets! lots of things for just $1! I got my sis a new alphabet set for Christmas!! Head over and check it out!!!

Have you got any great deals as of late? If so, please share!!!!!!

You know I do LOVE pink :) LOL

If you haven't shopped CSN Stores before- you really should! Over 200 stores in one place! I am a proud owner or a FAB stock pot from them and have a new skillet and 2 new bakers I just ordered on their way!!!

Now, if someone gave you a giftcertificate from CSN, any idea what you might use it on???? GO see and come back and tell me ;)

So Thankful.
