Happy Birthday!

     Happy Birthday United States Marine Corps! Today is the Marine Corps birthday of 235 years. Thank you Marines. 
     My husband served active duty from 1985-1992.
     Today Corner School held a Veterans' Day program for the Veteran's. It was a wonderful program. They also included the Marine Corps birthday and cake ceremony. The first piece of cake went to the Guest of Honor who was Mr. Charles M. Burkett former Corner Principle from 1974-1991. Then second piece of cake went to the oldest Marine in attendance. The third piece of cake went to the youngest Marine in attendance and was served by the oldest Marine in attendance. This is a tradition that all Marines take time in which to participate.

Craft Fair

Hi Everyone!

     If you were wanting to visit my booth last Thursday but couldn't, I will be at the Corner Theatre fish fry and craft fair this Saturday from 10-2. I will have items for sale so you can get a head start on your holiday shopping.

     If you would like some items and can't make it I have posted the items on my blog over the past few weeks. You are welcome to email me and purchase the items as well. You will be able to special order your items and I will get them to you. Easy shopping just look and email or post a comment.

     If you are looking for something hand made and don't see what you are looking for email or call me or comment and we will see what we can come up with.  We can make gift baskets as well for your favorite scrapbooker or card maker or crafter.

    Happy Shopping!!!

12 Weeks of Christmas - Week #6

     Wow!  I can't believe it is only 6 weeks until Christmas. I absolutely love the holidays. Christmas has to be my favorite holiday.  I love being able to decorate, have parties, be with family, giving, and all the fun.  Halloween is my least favorite but I do like the chocolate that comes in the house and the fact that Halloween begins the holiday season.
     This week I am showing you a file folder holder that was shared with me by Melissa Robinson a fellow CTMH consultant. One I made for you to use as a Christmas shopping folder.  One side you keep the receipts and the other side you make your list and any notes you need. The other is a grocery/household shopping and you can put coupons on one side and make your list and notes on the other.  A pen comes with this folder and you have everything you need in this neat little pouch. 

Wednesday Words

- Thank you America for voting.  Voting is a privilege that we need to continue exercising. 

- Corner Elementary/Middle School craft fair is tomorrow night.  If you are in the area stop by and check out my booth.  I have been posting pictures of items I will have and now you can see them  up close and touch them.  I will also have a special order section where you can order and pre-pay tomorrow night and I will deliver your items to you when they are completed.  This way you may personalize your order.  You can also pick up a new catalog and some past catalogs that have great ideas and techniques.  So stop by for some fun.  There will be a cake walk, inflatables for the children, chili....

12 Weeks of Christmas #5

I am so sorry that I missed Saturday.  I will do better next time.  I am already working on Saturday's item.  This weeks item is a denim purse that I stamped on using our white ink.  Close To My Heart's white ink is pigment based and not water based so this color will show up on dark colors such as black and our outdoor denim. It is very fun to use but can also be messy. This ink will need to dry more than the other inks.  You can also heat it to dry it as well.  I recommend heat setting the ink if you use it on fabric items. These were a hit when I made them for the girls in the family.  Other pigment based colors we have are colonial white and vanilla cream.
