Give Away

Pop on over and visit Kendra at My Insanity for a journal give away.
She has a child's journal up for grabs that looks great.
CJ started her journal when she was 3 and we love reading through them. She really enjoys seeing how far her printing has come along and all the things that kept her busy when she "was a little girl".

Tomorrow I'm off to join Saucy & Sassy and 14 other ladies for an afternoon of laughs and construction of Christmas Charm bracelets. I'm still finishing my charms for the sway after some technical difficulties. I ended up making two different ones because I'm not 100% thrilled with how they turned out... Saucy really is the master!

Halloween Charm Party

I spent yesterday afternoon with a great group of crafty ladies.
Saucy & Sassy hosted a Halloween Charm Swap which was
"spook-tacular"!!

Look at all the goodies on this bracelet!! I made the Michael Jackson Thriller album cover shrink art and the little bones (made from dollar store candy) following Saucy's tutorial found here.

No Saucy event would be compete without cupcakes:

These little test tubes were embellished with rub-ons and filled
with Halloween sprinkles for our hostesses
(and one extra for a give away.)
Saucy always has prizes!

Can't wait until the next time we all get together!
You can read more about our party on Saucy's blog.
Thanks again ladies!
My bracelet is "BOO-TIFUL"!

Charmed Life

How lucky I am to be able to get together and craft with a great bunch of ladies. I attended a charm bracelet party hosted by Sassy and Saucy, look at the darling little home-made Valentine from Saucy, and the cupcake and strawberry shortcake by Sassy . They both smelled like strawberry!! They are giving away one of our fabulous charm bracelets, pop over, leave a comment and they will let the lucky winner know on Tuesday.

Here are the charms that I made ~ chocolates and sugar cookies.

There was talk of learning how to use our new Christmas cameras better ... I'm up for a little Canon Workshop, just let me know when and I'll be there!

Jingle Jingle Charm Bracelet

Here is my red, silver & white charm bracelet from Sassy & Saucy's toggle party. There were SO many charms that I'm going to make another one with all the other charms I have left. CJ might just get to make one for herself with all the extra fullers I took and didn't use.




Here's what was inside our little bundles.



And the Christmas Pickle ~The child who finds it first on Christmas morning receives an extra present.
It was a good time spent crafting and making new friends. I was happy to have finally met Saucy who is just as sweet and kind as you'd think! Sassy was just as cheerful and excited as last time I saw her. Sassy and I have a little something in the works for the new year so keep checking back.

Thanks Sassy & Saucy I've changed the settings so all you non-bloggers can leave an anonymous comment, just leave your name at the end of your comment!

Thanks Tamara for the patterns!

It's Toggle Party DAY!

CJ and I just finished packing up our charms. One is THE charm, the other is a silly little one and a little treat. I'll post the finished bracelet later today!

Toggle Party Charm Making

This is the weekend to make charms to swap for the Toggle Party. I had three ideas . . . With these supplies I'm struggling to make my charm small enough.

Together all this just isn't fancy enough, maybe I'll make a few for my own bracelet and a couple for CJ to make her own bracelet.

I think these ones might be THE one. I'm waiting to see how they "bake up" and turn out. They are darn cute! Don't worry fellow Toggle Pary goers, I didn't really use these colours, I stuck with the colour theme of red, white and silver. (With the eeniest touch of green.) Oooh, if I can find little bitty rhinestones I'll add those in too.
