An ode to my Chickens... something silly

An ode to my chickens: ( For those of you who know about horses and chickens, you will apperciate this... for those who do not you will get the idea :-)

Oh chickens chickens how I love you,
not only do you spread the horse poo,
but you give me two eggs every day,
and you keep the garden bugs at bay :-)

Been playing around with my stamps and cricut!

Just a few cards I made with my stamps... you can find them in my etsy shop, just look to your right :-)

This is a letterboxing log book I made, I am sending this stamp to a letterboxer in another state for a letterboxing swap! The other boxer will plant this box in her state and I will plant the stamp she sends me in my state! Very Cool :-)

It's been a long time... I am missing my hooks

I really am hooked on crochet... but it has been while since I picked up a hook. I love the way crocheting makes me feel, it has a very calming effect on my mind and body and I do miss it. I really need to get back to the hooks, but for now I am somewhat satisfied just revisiting my past work. Here is a necklace/choker I made a few months back, I wanted to try the crochet jewelry thing, and I really do like it. I made several earrings as well and wear them often.

My latest swap, fun in the sun, Cricut

As I mentioned before, I am new to this swap thing... but so far I am loving it, and am pretty well hooked!
The swap group I have joined is called Paper Crafting Diva's and is organized by a sweet person who takes a lot of time to make these swaps happen... you can see her blog here... http://marie97-lotlot.blogspot.com/
This swap was for  4 sets of Cricut cut images that can be used for cards. They had to be embellished in a minimum of two ways, and a sentiment needed to be included . 
This was a great reason to get more familiar with my Cricut. I really have wanted to use this cool cutting machine more often, and this was a perfect opportunity to do so. I really had a lot of fun with this! Take a look at what I came up with, and the card I made from the cut outs...

embellished with glitter glue polka dots

Also dotted the sun with glitter glue, and added glitter cheeks to the crab :-)

And this is the card I made with the same cut-outs. I just used a plain white card, and  colored the back ground with pastels... (I am hooked on pastels :-)

Makes me want to go out and play!!

My new stamps, especially for teachers

My kids always love getting stickers and stamps on the work I return to them. They always get a kick out of the smiley faces :-) I never really thought they meant that much to them until I stopped putting them on their work. It did not take long for them to bring the papers back to me and ask for a sticker or smiley face, it really made them feel good! So, these stamps are just for them, and you (they are listed in my shop) :-)
