Proverbs 14:23

All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.

Well I wish I could say I have been working so hard on my passions that I haven't had time to blog but that would not be true. My 40 hour a week job has turned into a few more hours then 40 and I have been so overloaded at work that My Craft Room is gathering dust and cobwebs. Even though busy I do not wish this to look as though I am complaining, I can truly say I feel very blessed because I have a job when so many others do not. Thank you Lord for my many blessings.

Ladybug's in January?

I have seen two ladybugs in my craft room and am not sure what it means BUT they are so cute and I did have these red, black, and white bags.


I used paper bags and matting board to make my first mini album.

I covered the front and the back with material then inked around the edges.

Inside I covered each page with designer paper and made tags with coordinating ribbon to add to the pockets.


I then added pictures of my youngest granddaughter, daughter and son in-law, stickers and embellishments.

Here are some of the pages below:

 

 

 

I hope you enjoy looking and please feel free to leave comments or ask questions.

Craft you later.......Brenda

Snow Day

There is a tunnel 30 miles before my exit and I had heard there was 2" of snow on the ground at my house. So I got up and left moms house early enough to be home before nightfall because our highway can be a little scary when it is slick. Up to the point of the tunnel it looked like just another day, no snow. After driving through the tunnel though it was as if I had climbed out of Alice's hole into another world. The trees were covered with a light dusting of snow as if it was placed on there by a spray can of snow on a Christmas Tree. We were lucky enough to have 5" of snow on Christmas Morning and now a slight reminder of it again has fallen into the New Year. The grandkids were happy to hear NO SCHOOL, as if 2 weeks off for Christmas was not enough, because we all awoke to another layer of snow, on top of Sundays snow that had melted into ice. I honestly tried, I PROMISE, to make it into work but it was a little to slick for my taste so my Boss told me to turn around, go home and we would try again tomorrow. Let's see what tomorrow brings........

Coming Soon

Day two of the new year. I will be home soon and will post my 2009 crafts and a little preview of my craft room.

2010
