Welcome 2012...

Oh my were did 2011 go....I must say for our family, it has been a very busy year! So this year I am hoping that things might slow down just a little...highly unlikely though!LOL I guess that is a good thing! I want to wish all of you a Wonderful New Year!

Now don't laugh, but I was trying to make a little ice rink for Skating Tilda...I just love her. I may try something again on another card....

A few ladies have made calendar pages too, which I look forward to seeing.....Julie, Tangii,Danni and Lisa I coming by to visit your blog to see your calendars!

April's Calendar Page.....

April has arrived and with that comes a new calendar page! I love these little teddies and wanted to use this sweetie for my calendar layout. I coloured her all up with copics and added a little glitter to her wings! I just received my order of flowers from Wild Orchids a couple of days ago and was really excited to use them on a project!

There are a few blogging friends that have taken to making calendar pages too...Monique, Kathryn and Tangii have all hopped on the calendar page fun!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hello March....

March has come in like a lamb, so I think it may go out like a lion! I heard we are in for a late and very wet spring..oh that does not make me happy. I sure hope they are completely wrong. In the fall, hubby made me this wonderful wooden calendar holder so I could create new calendar pages for each month.
I have totally fallen in love with LOTV stamps and use them when ever I can. These two little friends sharing a swing is just too cute I thought for my March page. I used distress inks and added a little glitter.....

I have been so far behind commenting and visiting...so today I am off to see you all! Monique, I can't wait to see your calendar page! Have a wonderful day and welcome MARCH!

Welcome February...

Welcome February....I am not too sure whether I want to welcome February...we are in for a major snowstorm to start the new month!
I bought this cute little Pure Innocence stamp in December called "Sending you a little Christmas" but chose to make it a little Valentine's stamp...There was this little Christmas tree in her sled which I changed to a little sled full of hearts. I also just bought this Sizzix embossing folder at Michaels last week, in the Valentine's section and thought it was just too cute to pass up and use on my calendar page and my recipe card.

I made Hermit Cookies for the kids this weekend and made a recipe card to go into the recipe booklet.I have had a few of you ask where I store my recipe cards. I bought this recipe booklet, that resembles a photo album, from Chapters (a local book store). It has two clear slots per page to slid in each 4x6 recipe card.It comes with recipe cards but I love trying to make my own!

I really like that they are protected by the clear package so when you are baking you don't make a mess on your recipe cards!

I hope you are staying warm...I am off to clean house and make some Carrot Muffins and hopefully another recipe card! Have a wonderful day, and thank-you so much for popping in for a visit!

Welcome January...

Time to turn the calendar page.....January here we come! A new year and a new month. Which means lots of new creations instore! I must admit, I am not a fan of old man winter so January can go by as quickly as possible.

When I think of January, I think of all the winter sports I USED to do. I used to love skiing but have not gone in quite some time. I have really been considering getting back at it again. I may have to convince my son to tag along with me. I can see us now.....lol!

Have a wonderful day!
