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.

      I always have such a hard time with Father's day cards but was so pleased with these this year.

    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

Image
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! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the white

Friday Favorites: First Week of the New Year

Image
 We had a pretty rainy and cold week so we mostly stuck close to home.  I managed to get all the communal areas of the house clean (no bedrooms!) and started wrapping birthday gifts and making birthday cards for all the birthdays we have to celebrate this month.  Best of all we celebrated Ian and his high school graduation.   We had a graduation party for Ian Friday night. We enjoyed lasagna, a delicious cake Alec made, and time with our family.   Saturday my husband and I worked on putting the first coat of urethane on our countertop-- as of writing this post we now have a good 5 coats and are almost ready to install it! Sunday was warm and drizzly but my husband and I decided to spend our afternoon hiking anyway.  We hiked for just over 2 hours all around Buck Hill and tried a new trail.  It felt great to get out and get moving after all the junky eating of the past week.  Evan and I played hooky from school on Tuesday and went shopping; I had some returns to make and we wanted to

What I've Been Buying on Amazon

Image
 I didn't buy nearly as much stuff on Amazon in December because I did most of my Christmas shopping in November.  There were a few out of the ordinary things I needed though and I just knew Amazon would come through for me. Things like all of Ian's last minute graduation supplies: large plates, small plates, cake topper , tablecloth.  A fun holiday outfit for me!  Griswold sweater, fun holiday themed earrings, a pair of jeggings (that I just LOVE!) Alec has a birthday in January and I bought him this pizzelle maker  Evan has been sleeping with a fan on most nights to try and drown out outside noises (as well as the ringing in his ears) that keeps him awake.  It's working really well but with our cold winter nights I thought he might like to try a white noise machine-- this one also has 6 nature sounds.  I bought of the younger boys these fuzzy slipper socks I did have quite a few of our usual subscribe and save items showing up; like usual.  I found that a year or
