Almost Turkey Time!

November through December is my favorite time of year, I love the chill in the air, decorations, Christmas lights and most of all, baking and cooking. It's that time of year where you have the go ahead on anything, baked goods, candies, second helpings, thank goodness for January 1st and New Year's Resolutions!

I got an email in my Etsy store from a very nice lady who opened a new account and was trying to find the person who created her pregnancy album under her old account and was wondering if it was me as she had had her baby and was wanting a baby album. I told her it wasn't me but, I could create one for her. It was something I had never done before but always wanted to do, not having any children of my own I've often thought of how much fun it would be to create one. She gave me the go ahead and this is what I created for her adorable little boy. (She had sent a photo, he is absolutely beautiful with big blue eyes!) I made the lambs and bunny using chipboard and Sizzix. Papers are "Me and my Big Ideas", along with some Melissa Frances, Tattered Angels and Maya Road envelopes.








I really enjoyed making it and I'm inspired to make a few more, next one will be a recipe album using Melissa Frances new Kitchen line, can't wait to get started but it will have to wait. I got a very large order for 200 Gingerbread Men ornaments and it's keeping me very busy, and I have a deadline to get them done.
I did make some new tags with cardinals, my favorite bird. I was bringing out some of my Christmas things and came across this ribbon that I had purchased a few years ago and thought it would look great on a tag.


And I had one more little snowman box left so I made another one.


I made this house while I was waiting for internet service. I bought the paper mache houses last year and stored them away with ideas rolling through my head but didn't have the room to work so they were put in my overcrowded closet. I was so happy when we moved and actually had space to work on them! I have one more that I made and will get photos for next post. I filled this one up with some of my Gingerbread Men ornaments.




And lastly, a project for Custom Crops. You can find the supplies and directions here.


I'll be working on ornaments throughout the rest of the week with a little break on Saturday for some Christmas shopping with my sister, ahhhh, the crowds, yikes!

Have a great rest of the week, thanks for stopping by!
