Soggy Sunday

It started raining over night here. It stopped this morning, but it's still chilly and wet outside. No opening windows round here today! Bummer!

Yesterday was super busy for me and I had no time to really craft at all - another bummer - but I did finish the little bunny for the front of this lime sherbet basket I made on Friday. I wish I had bigger oval dies, but this works for now.

 

The little brown basket (made weeks ago) started its life as a 246 box. It's so dang cute! The swiss dotted Bazzil card stock I made it with just makes the whole basket look even cuter!  And I used a set  old SU brads (wish they still made these beauties!) I will certainly be making more of these for all kinds of occasions! I have a gable box I'm decorating right now to fill with candy to give to a neighbor. She's hosting a Bible study at her home on Monday nights so I thought I take her a little gift tomorrow as it's our first get together.

 

 

AND, I have a this little, blue treat basket I put a punch bunny on in the efforts to find a quick & easy peasy Easter treat to hand out to Wildman's classmates, neighborhood friends and maybe a friend or two of mine. So far, this is in the winning seat. I may even stop looking. It's made with a scalloped square die, so there's little paper required! The bunny is punched from scrap I had in my scrap basket. I also punched little holes around the scalloped edge of the basket. OH! His adorable little bum, is a flower from the SU boho punch. Wish my bum were as small and adorable (ya know, like it was before kids - LOL!!) TMI? Sorry - but I know I'm not the only mommy that feels this way!!  =) Okay, off to create some more crafty goodness!! TFSB

It's great to be boss!

I've made an executive decision! And how wonderful it is to throw my weight around without getting flack from any body or any thing! Not that I really meet any resistance at home, but ya know!

 

I will post through out the day with the things I create at least until my I make it to at least step one in blog land - that would be  - I dunno, maybe a follower or two! :giggle: Once I have followers, I fear I'd drive them crazy with tons of posts spamming their in boxes! So, I'd back it up just a wee bit.

 

I'm still on the search for little treat "boxes" I can make to hand out to Wildman's classmates, teachers and a few of my friends. I made this and would've added bakers twine had I been able to locate the box it's in! Ugh! Anyhoo,

 

 

This little guy was made using SU punches: medium & small oval, blossom, and several different sized circles and a scalloped edge. I used an thin oval (couldn't find my white doilies) and mini banners die and stamp.  The big bow is seam binding I purchase for cheap thru Amazon. I made another little punch bunny today with the same punches, but with a very different look. I will add it to a project tomorrow and post to share.

 

I also needed to create a few little thank you treat holders to add to swaps for hostess or as little goodies for prizes. My cutter needs a new blade, but there were fun to make. I will plan on placing  little Hersey Miniatures inside before I give them away.

 

 

Okay, time to go and play Domestic Goddess now, snack, homework, dinner, vacuum, blah blah blah...

All settled in!

I am finally able to sit at my table and craft.  Most all of my supplies have been in storage during our moves over the past 2 years! I've been crafting like a made woman the past week and a half. Seriously someone needs to host an intervention for me and my addiction!

I've been working on challenges and swaps - oh how I enjoy the swaps. Every time I get a big, brown envelope stuffed with precious goodies in my mailbox, it's like a little bit of heaven opened up and sent down more joy! Ok, maybe that's a bit extreme to some of you, but after 2 years of no paper crafting I bet you'd feel about the same!

Toady I will share with you my new fav toy. Right after I got it in the mail (2 yrs ago!!) I had to pack the little cuteness away. (insert frowny face here) And now that I've freed it from hibernation, I've fallen in love. My envelope punch board! How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.....

I started looking for a little project I could make in large numbers (30-ish) to hand out to Wildman's classmates. I am still looking, although this little guy's stinkin' cute.

 

Come back tomorrow and I will show you a few more goodies I've been working on. TFSB (thanks for stopping by)
