Christmas in July

Thought I would do a little of Christmas in July crafts.  The first picture is my Santa gift card/money holder.  Everyone always needs gift card holders so I like to make cute creative ones.  Then every family has someone who is a little bit like a Grinch, so we had to throw him in here.  I think they came out really cute.  Hope you think so also.  Thanks for stopping by.  I am trying to get back into the swing of things.  It is a process.  Have a great day.

Let it go

I think I'm back. LOL

Sorry that I have been away from blogging for so long.  I was having so many problems with getting into my blog when blogger changed their format it did something to my password and wouldn't let me in.  I struggled for months, got frustrated and then stopped trying.  Then I forgot about it for awhile.  Well I hope I have learned a few things and this doesn't happen again.  So for now I am back until it decides to forget who I am again.  LOL  

 

Showing off my new paper piecing project.  Isn't she so cute.  I just love doing these. 

This is a sample to see if everything is fixed with my computer and the blog site.  Turns out my hard drive crashed, just before the blog got fixed,  but it looks like I am back in business so I will be able to start posting again.   Sorry so Sorry that I have been gone so long.   I really hate computers.  I am pretty sure they hate me also.  LOL

So sorry,  This is why I hate computer programs.  My blog is through blogger.com and they went through some new updates to the site and have now made it even harder for me to post pictures.   I download my pictures to my computer from my camera and used to be able to browse the files and pick out what picture I wish to post.  Now with their new updates it is not compatable to my browser.  So I can't upload my pictures.  They said they are working on it but I am stuck not being able to post any pictures.  If I was more computer savy maybe I could find another way but you all know I am not.  Sorry,  I wish I could get some help somewhere.  Thanks so much for checking back with me.  I have so much to show.  Hopefully soon I will be able to show you.   Have a great day.

coffee cups

I am on a roll with these coffee cups.  How about this santa one?  Toooooo Cute.  I wish they made hot chocolate packets in long skinny packages like they do coffee, that would be perfect.

Halloween goodies

More spider cider cups with left over last years papers.  Might as well use it up.  I figure kids would like to get the cider but the adults I can still put coffee in and a gift card to a coffee place.

Halloween goodies

Had to make some spider cider coffee cups and I found pouches of apple cider that I just fold in half and they do fit inside the cups.  Perfect!  I have been busy making Halloween treats, but in between I have been working on Christmas also.  My room looks like a bomb blew up in there.  Life of a crafter I guess.

Halloween goodies

I did it!  I finally figured out the witches boot.  Seen pictures but didn't know how to put it together.  Sat and played around with it, and it took all day but I did it.  They look cuter in person, they sparkle.  Hope everyone likes them.

Christmas cards

I better start thinking about christmas cards.  So I was just playing around with this idea but I think I want to change the door a bit.  Not sure I am liking the paper I used.

more daisies

Had a few daisies laying around so I created a couple of simple cards with them and my cute little bumble bee sticker from jolees.  I did one with a birthday saying and this one.  Hope you think it is as cute as I do.  Stop back soon. 

Male Bday cards

I had a request for male birthday cards.  Hopefully this one is what they are looking for.  I am at a loss when it comes to doing cards for guys.  Most open it and throw it away any how.  lol

Sunflowers

Sorry,  I know it has been a while since I have posted but I am having a real problem getting motivated.  My only child has went to college and I am a little lost, to say the least.   So I did spend the day in the craft room and came up with a few things.   I hope you like them.  Thanks for looking, have a great evening.

more daisies

Here are some more daisy cards and the bee.  I had a sheet of these bee stickers that just go perfect with these flowers so I had to use them.  they also go with summer.   Let me know what you think and thank you for sticking with me while I figured out my computer problems.   I hope I didn't lose you all as my followers.  I love showing my creations and hopefully giving everyone some inspiration.   Please stop by again.  Hugs

Scrap cards

Some very simple summertime cards.  These are great to use up some of those scraps that I can't seem to throw away.

finally some new cards

Sorry that it took so long to post some new cards.  I hate that computers do not come easy to me.  And for whatever reason they feel that every few months they need to update and change things.  So just as I get used to doing a program one way they then change it and I am totally lost for a while and this was a big change to the blog program.   I am such a DUH.

Well here are some cute sunny daisies to brighten your day.  They even come complete with bumble bee

Sorry I'm so stupid

I have to apologize for being so computer stupid.  My blogger site updated it's entire layout and it took me forever to figure out how to post something, anything to my site.  I have just now got some writing down.  My pictures kept deleting themselves, I couldn't figure out how to download them to the site.  It hasn't been pretty for me swearing at my computer.  Then I would just give up for the day.  Please Please please bear with me.  I am getting it with my son's help.  I have also been really preoccupied since my son graduated High School this past tuesday and his party is in June.  I will post all the fun party stuff I am doing for his party.  Thanks for bearing with me and stuff is coming I swear.  Have a great day.

Birthday Cards

Needed some quick birthday cards and had some scraps left over from other projects.  I am always trying to use up my scraps.  I save every little scrap of paper figuring that I can use it some how.  (It is an obsession) Thanks for looking, have a great evening.

M&M filled flowers

I have lost my head lately.  I am really preoccupied with all the college planning with my son and I can't keep my thoughts organized.  I thought I had already posted these cute little flower sticks. 

Springtime treats

Here is another use for the round treat cups in the stampin up big catalog.  I used the sizzix flower folds die to make the flowers and I just cut the centers out to insert the cups.  Filled them with Jelly Belly's (my favorites)  I gave these as my thank you gifts at class on Saturday.   Fun.
