This is the Small Definitely Decorative version of the Hem Your Blessings (#121635 Chocolate/#120188 Crumb Cake $4.95) As you can see I used the Chocolate Chip verse but I added the Crumb Cake Leaves on top of the Chocolate Chip leaves for a twist on the usual. Enjoy.

For those of you looking for a creative way to give a little treat, here is something with just a touch of Spooky. I love using my punches, don't you. I tell my customers which are all female-"who's says the guys should have all the fun with tools". Our Punches can add that little extra to your projects. Have enough stamps? How about adding the tools to make your already treasured stamps (stored or seriously packed away) do so much more.

Here is another Fall themed coaster set I made that went over well at a craft fair this weekend.

Ok-So I began picking these guys weeks ago and knew I would try to sell these.

So-your asking-did she really sell these and did anyone buy them?

You Betcha' they did!!! I sold over a half dozen and still have a few for next weekend's event. I even had one woman say that she finds them a nuisance and kicks them off her porch. After a few minutes of discussing what to with them she said " I guess I take for granted what drops out my back door". I do know a certain big box store is selling them in their home goods dept for $13.00 for a small package-and they are from China-Plastic acorns-Small. Not Large and homegrown in the USA!

Need I say that I am married to a Cheap Polish Man with all sorts of ideas to make money!

NEED some of these?-Contact me and I will sell what I have left. Pine Cones-Yup-got those too, in all sizes. You have to smile. Share me with someone today.

Love Fall. Love , Love, Love-Love Fall!. Ok-It's not officially that date on the calendar But it sure feels like it over here. Here is a set of coasters I put together this weekend. I like it so much that I making more for craft fairs. I used the New French Foliage (W)#120845 $19.95, (C) #121166 $14.95. You can find this set in our Holiday Mini catalog. Download a mini now or contact me and I will send one to you.

Ok-Check out the SIZE of these Acorns. No Retouching-No Photoshop on this. That's my 21/2 Yr Old daughters hand next to mine. These are White Oak Acorns. So Amazing. The largest ones were just short of the size of Golf Balls. Do not walk under these trees! For those of you not anywhere near 80 + acres  of trees or even a few oak trees-THis IS NOT the NORM. I know these trees are at least 100+ years old and my Hubby has been here since the 70's. Never has he seen this type of production. It's got to be it's Best year Ever. A Serious Bumper Crop.

Of course I will be sharing with you later in the week, what I am doing with these.

Enjoy!

Once again, an awesome group signed up for another one of my 10-10-10 classes. We stamped at the Well Bean Coffee shop in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. As always, pass me on to others. I do have a great Referral program and would love to share that with you.:0)

Here is a close up of my "waste of Money" Card or Spinner card. I challenged this group with this one. But it was perfect for the Coffee shop setting.

As Always-We had a lot of fun at The Well Bean. Tim-the owner of this Cool place is Super nice. I think I amuse him with all this stamping and card making stuff. I am planning on a Holiday class there -early December.

Sorry these pics are fuzzy. I was using my iphone into the light. I am still learning this fun phone. I think it's almost too Smart for me!!

Enjoy these ideas for your next class/get together.

The New Holiday Mini catalog has arrived and it is full of so many ideas-I am not sure where to begin. I know many of you have been waiting for this. Of course so have I. Now those creative juices can be let loose and I can do some serious creating.

This weekend I have nothing going on and I can get my creations together for the Fall and Holiday Craft fairs as well as ideas for my Holiday Stamp Camp. Yup-I will cram a lot into this weekend. So- do you NEED the New Mini-Contact me ASAP and I will get one out to you. Or you can just download one to your left here <—— if you can't wait. Super awesome ideas will be coming your way this month along with some ideas I feel I need to revisit. Like that Shadow box in white that needs to be seen. So-visit often and pass me on to other creative souls.

But, in the mean time, here is a paper Pumpkin to share from using 12 -6" strips of DSP and Card stock in all orange hues. I just love the way these look. I will probably post more in different sizes. They are fun and a difficulty of 2-3 depending on papers. I mixed it up by putting the DSP of in color Peach Parfait. To hold together I used 2 Flower Brads on opposite sides. Try making one with scraps that I KNOW you have laying around!
