I HAVE A NEW BLOG

I have created a new blog..... I don't get much time to craft these days. I never knew living in the country was so much work.... and fun. I am always doing something around my house but lately it hasn't been crafting. Sadly :(   I would love to share many things with you but for some reason I didn't really want to post it here. Just feels like this is a crafty only type place. Ya know? Anywayz, If you guys want to see what I am up too then head on over to http://betweenthealmondtrees.blogspot.com/

I am going to try and post there everyday, just to kinda let you know what I have been up to for the day. I will still post here but only if it is crafty. Then again I just might transfer everything over there. We will see how it goes. Much love to all ( 15) of you that have put up this far with my bad blogging!!!  LOL 

Cya Between the Almond Trees!!

Bless our home

Made this using a embroidery ring. I fitted the fabric between the rings and added some cherry blossoms and the bless our home svgs from svgcuts.com. I entered this in the Cherry blossom challenge over there on their forum. I am sending this to my Mom for Mothers Day!

B-day Decor and Invite

So I have been a little lazy in posting this, but I am taking time for my crafting today. My Daughters B-day was in Feb.... So a month later isn't tooo bad! haha!
I made the invites to look like concert tickets , printing on both sides. These took a long time but I LOVE the end results! I had to do many many test prints. I am sure there is an easier way to do it but I am not aware of that! LOL  Anywayz~ I love them and she loved them so it was well worth the time.

Then I made her "happy birthday" banner. I made it to match the invites! It was so cool looking I sooo did not want to take it down.
I have the disco ball svg if anyone wants it. Just dont have an account set up so you can DL from my blog. ( someday  hehehe)  Just shoot me an email and I will be glad to sent it to ya.

I made some purple stars to dress up the the shinny star garlin I got at the dollar store. I embossed them with the star folder and colored in all the black parts and also sanded the star to give it a 3d color look.

I am very pleased with this and had a blast making it.    Enjoy!




Feeling Crafty!

Let's see if my mojo is back..........

Life!!

Ok sooooo, I know I said I was back..... Well, I lied!  LOL  Sorry my faithful readers. Life has just gotten a little hectic. I swear I haven't had time for anything. The kids school events have bben in full swing and we have been "rearranging" a few things around here. I have redone my craft/ work area so hopefully I can get to it a little more often.
My wonderful , loving doggy Zoey decided to get doggy anxiety when we leave and had a field day in my craft area. I lost quiet a bit of stuff and was devastated. To say the least. It was one of those moments that you wished your pet could fully understand you. Other than sit, stay, good girl! LOL  Ugh! 

Anyway, I just wanted to give a quick post and let ya'll know I am still here......sorta!
