Like I said, I’m wrapping presents today and am in the gift giving mood! One of my favorite Christmas traditions is making Sausage Cheese Balls for Christmas morning breakfast! Brent and I will get up and pop them in the oven and then go sit on the couch to read the Christmas story from the Bible (Luke 2) and open presents together. I love Christmas morning with Brent. It’s laid back and peaceful. Here’s your chance to win some fun…

Here’s the card that I drew up Sketch Challenge {007} for. I first sketched the idea and then went a little crazy with the design elements. This card was made for that swap from AAAGES ago… this card is made with random stamped paper by Susan Hankins. Click on the pictures for a larger view. I loved it so much that I recreated Susan’s RS paper and made a card for myself! Yes, that is real stitching. 🙂 Techniques:Machine Stitching,…

I thought I would give an opportunity for you to win a treat!

I can’t write a huge honkin post like that and not include some artwork! I thought I would share this fun card that I made for Alisha Trussell from that swap I talk about all the time… lol! Click for a larger view. I used the Cracked Glass technique and sprinkled in some gold glitter just before heating the UTEE powder in the center of Alisha’s random stamped paper circle. I’ve never had good success with cracked glass until this…
I know I’ve made mention of a big change coming in my life over this past summer. Well, it’s finally happened and I have weird mixed feelings about it. I’ve talked a lot in TFT’s about Faith and such… When I would read other blogs and musings and receive my “inspirational emails” from various subscription sources, I would receive a lot of messages regarding faith and believing and trusting in the Lord. There was a reason for those messages to…

(BTW, I can’t remember when my body last moved like that without any “holiday…
