Craft Project Central

Did I tell you I got asked to design for Craft Project Central again in December?  I was thrilled of course. 🙂  What this means for you is ten of my posts in December will show sneak peeks for ten different designer’s projects.  You will also get a chance to win a free subscription to Craft Project Central in December and get detailed instructions for all the projects.  What it means for me is that I get paid to stamp, which makes me very happy.  Everyone should have a job doing something they love to do!

Elegant New Year Party Ensemble made by Julie Warnick.

You can ring in the New Year in style with this Elegant New Year Party Ensemble! The festive Top Hat Centerpiece will bring an element of celebration to your party décor, while the dangling glitter balls add a touch of elegance. The easy to assemble party poppers will be enjoyed by adults and children alike when the clock strikes twelve! Finish off this ensemble with a fun shaker card that can be used as an invitation to or to send a note to welcome in the New Year.

To get instructions to Julie’s project (and many more to come), just subscribe to December at Craft Project Central.

This weekend we have plans to take down the Thanksgiving decorations and put up Christmas.  I bet you’ve done your Christmas decorating already?  Since our Thanksgiving decorations were only up for a couple days due to our construction, I decided to leave them up for an extra week and enjoy them. OK… the real reason I haven’t done it yet, is I have a very large artificial tree I put up in our family room and my family does not enjoy putting the tree together or decorating it.  I needed to give Superman a breather from all the work he’s been doing on the house and give him time to psych up to help me with the tree.  My sister’s family loves putting their tree together, but somehow the “Christmas tree putting together genes” are missing at my house. 🙂

Thanksgiving quilt made by Carol Olson.

I truly did enjoy having this quilted Thanksgiving wall hanging that my Mom made, hanging up for an extra week. 🙂

Please leave a comment and tell me your weekend plans.

Party Animal Gift Bag

I love the new Party Animal Designer Series Paper (DSP). I made this gift bag using one 12 x 12 sheet.  “Open me Already” is from the Stampin’ Up! Balloon Adventures stamp set available beginning Jan 4, 2017.  Do you like the Whitsper White Mini Pompom Trim?  I think it looks adorable on this gift bag.  I love the little birthday hats on all the animals too!

At Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) this morning we discussed John 7.  Basically it talks about how God is in control of the world.  It’s very comforting to me, given the things going on in the world today.

This afternoon was my first time to be in my house alone without any construction workers or family members.  My pups and I were very happy to finally have some alone time after a couple of months of people here daily.  Tomorrow the construction guys are back to tidy up a few things on the list.  If you are wondering if I have any regrets about doing the construction, the answer is absolutely not.  We saved, planned and dreamed about it for over twenty years and we truly do love it!

Keegan started taking weekly voice lessons and is pretty fired up about it.  He’s trying out for a solo in his vocal jazz group.

Abby just got done with a big scholarship application.  She is trying to get most of her college paid for so she can afford to go to medical school or grad school to do Alzheimer’s research.  I can’t believe in six months she’ll be graduating from high school.

Steve installed a sound bar on our new TV in the sun room.  It’s amazing how handy he is.  He also washed the pups for me because I’m doing therapy dogs tomorrow.

I hope everything is going well for you during this Advent season.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Stampin' Up! Double Pocket Treat Holder made by Ruth Sollberger. Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

I love it when people see something on my blog, recreate their own version of it and send me a picture.  These gorgeous Double Pocket Treat Holders were made by my friend Ruth Sollberger from Australia.  She is a Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) group leader and made these for her ladies for Sharing Day, which is the end of the BSF year.  I love what you made Ruth and thanks for sending me a picture!  Ruth used the gorgeous Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper (DSP).

Here’s the link for the directions to make the Double Pocket Treat Holders in three different sizes.

Superman and I have had another crazy weekend.  We moved all the furniture out of the family room so the carpet could be cleaned and stretched.  We moved everything out of my old stamping office so the carpet can be cleaned before Steve’s office moves back in.  I spent hours moving 13 years of stamping supplies and trying to organize it in my new space.  I love the new space by the way.  Here’s a sneak peek.  I have a lot more to do before it’s all done.

Steve also power washed and stained the deck, built new steps off the deck and stained those. I’ve never moved so many things without actually moving to a different house.  We have two couches and a piano in our kitchen and our kitchen table is in our new Sun room.

We took some time out to celebrate Ryan’s 21st birthday today!  Ryan is a sweet and smart young man studying to be a Software Engineer.  He is man after God’s own heart.  We are so proud of him.  For his birthday dinner he wanted me to make Scalloped Potatoes and Ham, and Abby made her famous Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate cake.  Yum!

Hope you had a great weekend!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
