A Crafty Bee Named Gee

Today I wanted to show you some cards I made a while ago.  These I based off of a card I saw on Pinterest .  My friend Linda and I were at Archivers when I made them.  I sure miss hanging out with her and crafting there!  It is my favorite place to "craft!"  There isn't an Archivers even close to me now.  Boo-hoo!!  We just moved to Branson, Missouri from St. Louis, Missouri four months ago.  I used to have to drive maybe 35 minutes to get there and every one of them was worth it! :)  Now it is at least a couple hours from me no matter what direction. Makes me sad.....sniff sniff... Ok, so I digress.  These are the cards I made one evening.... I cannot remember the line of paper I used at the time but I know I used my paper punches for the scalloped circle and flourish for the sentiments.  I also used my martha stewart score board  to make the medallions.  Both took less than a half hour total.  M...

Good afternoon!  I attended a craft fair this weekend.  I sell soap that my dad makes and whatever else I come up with for myself.  This time I brought ornaments and jewelry as well.  The fair was pretty slow and it was disappointing but I did meet some nice people.  That is the best part.  My booth neighbors on the left and I tried to brainstorm ideas for how we could maybe make the next one more successful.  I plan on writing the coordinator and giving her our ideas.  Anyway, I wanted to share some pictures of what I made.  The first three pictures are those very large ornaments you can purchase at Hobby Lobby.  They have a bunch of foam balls in them.  I almost dumped them out and threw them away when I first purchased them, but then when I figured out what I wanted to do with them I thought they were perfect because they look like snow!  I used my Cricut, permanent vinyl and ribbon to make them.  I used Wi...

happy birthday to my sweet babylove, willow!  i cannot believe she turned four yesterday.  we had her birthday party today with a lot of family and friends.  it was a success!  she played with tons of kids and devoured a lot of cake and opened a bunch of great gifts.  (I can't believe she is still awake after running around for four hours and not having a nap) her little brother, keegan, is already pooped out on the couch along with his daddy.  she and i are sitting at the kitchen table while she rummages through all of her fun gifts and i type.  sooooo, the party theme? rainbow, of course! probably been hot for quite a while, and maybe i am on the late train but i am ok with that. i think we did a pretty good job at what we accomplished! i didn't do any treat bags or activities. we pretty much do food, gifts, cake around here. i am hoping to include more fun things as she gets older and gets a bigger fan base, lol, aka more friends f...
