Bowling Day Surprise

My husband and two of the children are on a Youth/Adult bowling league and they had their season end party for which I was asked to bring a dessert. Of course I said yes and boy did we have fun creating this....



I didn't have time to go out and search out a bowling pin cookie cutter so we made one from hard plastic (now that was quite interesting) and it served us well. It was a double decker marble cake with homestyle creamcheese frosting.
I didn't STRIKE out here, seemed to be loved by all!

Happy 2011 Everyone

Happy New Year

I didn't posted many of my creative collections from last year. I am hoping to do better this year. Here are a few things that I have done since the beginning of 2011!

I decided to 'adopt' a child for Christmas giving and since the little girl I choose also loves to draw and paint and doodle I made her this little sketch journal. I can't wait to see some of the entries she puts in there!




on the inside pages I prompt her with doodles of silly celebrations and 'where I live' pages and things like that. I will post some of her entries when I see her again!

Angels beside her

It was just a couple weeks ago that my Dear Daughter (18) totaled her truck. Talk about mommy nightmare. The reason I am posting it here is that I do believe it was God's Gift that spared her.

Look at this mess....

Yes I say she had Angels with her.

Thank you Lord for sparing my girls!

Frog Fridgie

I am getting into making animal fridgie magnets and this is the latest one I have done. I don't have pictures of the others cause I have mailed them off already but I thought this lil guy turned out pretty cute.

Tea for two

Here are two lil pouches I created for a Tea swap. They will hold two tea bags and a sugar pouch.

I hope the two partners I have will enjoy the pouches and the tea inside.

Bottlecap Pin Cushions

Now these were a lot of fun. What cute things you can come up with out of a throw away bottlecap.

Here I used two regular size soda bottle caps and one Large Mouth juice bottle cap. Check them out....

Now I am hooked. You know I will be making more of these. They are easy to carry with me when the girls have lessons and what not just like those cute lil stuffies. Ohh how easy it is to get hooked on this stuff.

I was always told... idle hands are the devils workshop. Well devil you aint got nuttin doin here!!!

Paper-less ATC

We were to make an ATC (Artist trading card) without using paper of any kind. I read the profile of my partner and saw that she likes gardening and birds so I created this first one... It is made of gardening fabric with a bird, a flower, and two lady bugs made from Shrinky dink plastic. The second one was inspired from a card I received from a friend a long time ago (thanks Betz) It is made of felt and white cotton material. I used marker to draw the lines on the felt and glitter glue for the 'frogs' eyes. (Yes that is supposed to be a frog :-( ... I tried)

I hope my partner will enjoy these.
