Good Golly...

The random picked winner is Miss Molly (from Kentucky)...

LOL I couldn't help mysel, sorry I know totally cheesey. :)

And Zarah (from Sweden) I'd love to share some of the Prima Journaling Notes with you and maybe a few other small goodies! :)

If you could please look under my profile to the right there, by my pic. you will find my e-mail address. Send me your addys and they'll be in the mail asap. :)

Thanks to everyone who participated! Giveaways are so fun. I love getting free goodies. Hooray! So it looks like most of us get inspo from other bloggers and of course Miss Martha Stewart. I get lots of inspo from other blogs listed here under I <3>

For instance I made these Christmas Trees because Danielle Thompson's were amazing. Mine are nowhere near as fabulous as hers, but I try. :) You must check it out on her blog HERE and make one, they are so easy and completely satisfying!

Another quick Christmas craft is paper stockings. Using the fabulous Sassafras Life At the Pole again I created this little cutie. So much fun and so little time. I just drew a stocking shape freehand and layered two pieces of patterned paper (for front and back) and then cut it out and sewed it. For all the details I just used a few punches and some rhinestones, added some ribbon, put some marabou for foo-foo, and ta-da... A sweet stocking to stuff for someone special!

So many things I want to create and Christmas is just around the corner. Yikes!!! Well I have a swell creation for the Pink Paislee blog that I just adore and it will be posted over there soon. Oh and if you haven't submitted your app for the PP team you better get to it, today's the last day!

Good luck and I'm hoping to post at least once more before Christmas.

Love ya laters peeps

Sassy Tussie- Matchbox- 10 Days

Ok I cannot believe it has been 2 weeks since I said I'd be back here soon with a giveaway! Man time really does fly by when you're having fun. HaHa Well with Christmas being "10 days" away I have been busy busy busy... We just got home from visiting family up North and my goodness it is getting cold over there! I don't miss that, that's fer sure! :)

So here is a cute little Tussie Mussie I created a about two weeks ago. Barely posting it now, I know. Did this cutie up with Sassafraslass newest Holiday collection Life At the Pole. I adore the greens in this line! They are so bold and delicious! I can't get enough of that green color!

And not too many days later I whipped up this sweet matchbox. The perfect size to slip in a gift card... Or two... You can see in the pictures that I had the same idea going with the layered flowers. I LOVE doing this. And it's so easy when you have things like Sassafras' blossoms and cardstock stickers and buttons! They were meant for layering I just know it! HaHaHa I also used a Sassafras label stamp. I "heart" Sass stamps!

Here are a few Christmas ornaments I created for the Pink Paislee Blog. We did the 12 Days of Christmas with ornaments. Check it out to see details and a ton of ornaments the other girls created! So fun!

Ok well I still owe a giveaway... I will post a picture sometime tomorrow, but for now let me give you a hint... Think ribbons from my Etsy shop, think Vintage papers, thinks thickers, and frillies, and ooooo my fave Prima Journaling notes, and maybe some handmade stuff... Who knows what else I'll find to throw in?! Ha. Well you know how it works just leave a comment here and if you don't know what to say tell me where you've been getting most of your Holiday inspo from...

Okay here is a picture. :) Sorry it took a little longer.

Smooches~

Just Kidding...

I totally did not mean to take this long. But so goes my story right? Ha!

Well anyways to keep it simple...
Here's how my morning started...
Good ol' cuppuh joe...


What a drag to wake up to fog and having to lug the baby out into the cold to get Timmy to school so stinkin' early. Ugh. On the plus side it's such nice cool refreshing weather and totally has me in the mood to create! My mind is flooded with ideas, infact I'm sure I've already forgotten half of the stuff I've been thinking up over the last week. You know what that means... Better get my butt in gear. LOL
And for fun...
Here's some fun Pink Paislee stuff...




Today is day one for the 12 Days of Christmas over at the Pink Blog. The sweet Danielle Flanders starts it off with the first ornament so make sure you head over there to see her yummy creations with details and instructions too! :)


And if that's not enough eye candy for you check out the American Crafts Blog. Here's a hint of the goodness showing over there...
