Cards I Made This Month

Sadly, I had to make up some more sympathy cards this month.  I did love how they turned out though and I hope it helped the families feel just a bit better knowing that they are not grieving alone. 



Another anniversary card

      Thank you so much. I took a good year or so of from making cards but really do enjoy it so I made sure to find the time to pick it back up again.

    Your cards are awesome. I just finished making 50 simple thank you cards for my daughter's Sept. wedding. One thing crossed off the list!

    I love your cards! I'm sorry you had to make so many sympathy cards...I find those, and wedding/shower cards to be the hardest ones for me to make. So much emotions riding on them! I found you through the Inspire Me Monday blog hop! I hope you check out my blog at https://craftingalsalpapercrafts.com where I share cards and low carb recipes!

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts!

Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the white

Let's Look At.. Where I Shop for My Mom

 It's been a long time since I joined in with Shay and Erica for an edition of Let's Look but I was stumped for something to write on this second Wednesday of the month and I am firmly in my Christmas shopping mode so I thought this would be the perfect post! I know so many people who think their moms are hard to shop for but I honestly think my mom is so incredibly easy!  She's the type of person who happily spends money on gifts for others but is incredibly frugal when it comes to buying anything for herself.  I love to spoil her with gifts.   Some of my favorite places to shop for my mom include: 1. Vera Bradley-- I know that if I find something in beautiful shades of blue that my mom will love it!   2.  Hallmark store-- we have a local store that has such beautiful jewelry and wraps. In fact, I bought her a necklace and earring set for Mother's Day and she wore that set almost every single day. 3.  My mom enjoys reading and we have a pretty similar taste in books

 Since I already had 2 posts scheduled for yesterday I pushed off my post for Holly and Patty's Monthly Musings by a day.  It also gave me more time to write it up since we've had a busy week.  1. Favorite holiday traditions?  We don't have a whole lot of traditions left!  My favorite used to be baking/ crafting/ making gingerbread houses with the boys but they don't like to do that much anymore.  We still decorate our tree as a family and watch Christmas Vacation.  We still gift them an ornament each year to signify something about that year.   The ornament we bought for Alec the year he learned to read 2. What holidays do you celebrate? Just Christmas  3. How early do you shop?  My shopping is 90% done. I typically start around November 1st but I don't have a set date or time in mind.   4. When do you decorate? We'll decorate the whole house the day after Thanksgiving.  5. Do you host any holiday festivities?  On alternate years we host a Christmas brunch; thi
