~Mitten Weather Altered Fun~

♥Good morning and Happy New Year to all my friends in blog land!♥

Are you ready for the New Year's Eve celebrations tonight?

We have company coming and it will be a casual fun night.

I did sit down yesterday and scrapped a little.

I bought this unusual door hanger from Old Time Pottery

in December with the intention of scrapping it before Christmas

but obviously I got a little busy.

This was painted an ugly checkered green with crazy odd trees

all over the mitten. *I wish I had taken before pics!*

I decided I wanted to use it for the winter on my bedroom door.

I wanted it to be soft and pretty so I could use it all winter not just Christmas.

I used the Imaginisce Enchanted Line, the Roly Poly Posies, my ibond,

the letters are Basic Grey, and also I used the Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive.

I also coated the Mitten Weather in Stickles, then covered them

in the Glossy Accents from Ranger.

Overall I have to say I am pretty happy with it BUT I think I will keep

it in my scrap room instead LOL

Oh and on the sides I used that Smooch Ink...LOVE that stuff.

Ok I am off to go cook!!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Come back tomorrow for HUGE PRIZES!

~Thanks for popping by~

~Hello Tuesday & Back to Crafting♥ & BIG Cartridge Giveaway Too!~

Good morning to all my crafty friends!

I was able to sneak in some crafty time yesterday while my

boy napped a little after his Dr. appointment.

I had been wanting to make these door hangers for a couple

weeks now. They don't take too long to make.

I used the chipboard birds from Clear Scraps

and the Cottage Christmas Imaginisce papers/i-rock/rub-ons.

and lots...and lots...and lots...of glitter! LOL

Now I tried to get the perfect shit but it is grey and heavy

rain this week so I could not get it on the actual door handle.

BUT now I am ready for the holidays! :)

I did discover something...glitter the edges AFTER you

use the rub-ons, not before. Just an FYI if you decide to make one.

I wanted to share with you all the amazing kindness of other crafters.

Yesterday was a terribly trying day, Sunday night

(when everything is closed) my son's Nebulizer machine for his

breathing, it stopped working. For me as his mom it was

a huge panic moment. If he does not have this when he is sick

he turns blue and it is an ER visit right away.

Well a friend saw my Facebook post and called me up and told me

she had a spare, so hubs ran to get it and we made it through the night.

Then on Monday we spent most of the day chasing Dr.'s

and they gave him medicine/shots etc....

he does have Bronchitis and a lung infection.

So it has been a VERY difficult week/ weekend for me.

Honestly...I am exhausted.

But I arrived home Monday night to find 2 boxes on my porch,

one from my friend in LA, Gloria, the other from an address I did not know.

I opened the box from Gloria and it was miles of VINTAGE lace

Oh my goodness it was amazing to say the least.

I was fawning over that for 15 minutes then I realized I should

open the second box.

The second box was from one of the Gypsy winners

Chris. It had the SWEETEST note, and a beautiful

I MEAN BEAUTIFUL hand made card with a brand new

Martha Stewart Punch! Now I NEVER expect gifts in return

for the giveaways, because I am very blessed with crafty supplies

for my work, but I have to say the note and card and everything

just touched my heart so much.

I will take pictures and share the card tomorrow, it is amazing!

Blessings come in the most unexpected ways sometimes.

Be sure to bless a friend this week, I know I will.

I have a GREAT giveaway today...a brand new Cricut Cartridge.

I am REALLY trying to reach 1500 followers by Christmas

and this is just the beginning. You won't believe

what I have in store *hint* store for you!

But for now this is the prize! I will leave it open until SUNDAY

A Sentimentals Cricut Cartridge

one of my absolute favorites!
