Thanks!

Hi Friends!

I'm back again to share with you a couple of projects I made for my husband's assistant to celebrate Administrative Professional's Day tomorrow!  I'm entering these projects at The Shabby Tea Room!  Here is the gorgeous inspiration photo we were to follow...

My husband's assistant, Sue, is a real sweetie!  She always keeps my husband organized for his projects and meetings.  I wanted to make something special for her, and I know that she keeps candy on her desk.  So, I decided to decorate a pretty box for her with a matching card. I painted a box with white paint and lined it with blue felt.  I covered the box with paper.  The lid was embellished with felt flowers, pearls, glass glitter, gem brad, doily, ribbon, and button.

I filled the box with delicious Hershey chocolates!

And, here is a close up of the decorated box.

Hope you are having a great week.  Thanks so much for dropping by today!  Take care, hugs!!:-))

Hi there!

I'm back again with a card for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  It is such an interesting fun sketch I couldn't resist playing along this week! 

This card will be given to our administrative professional at work.  Next Wednesday is Administrative Professional's Day, so I wanted to make a sweet card for Peggi.  She always makes the delicious hot steaming coffee in the morning to perk us up!:-)  She then makes another pot of coffee in the afternoon to keep us awake! But, she does a lot more than that and she is a good friend.  She retires in August and she will certainly be missed!  I have other cards I've been working on, so I may be posting again today or tomorrow.  Hope you are having fun in your little crafting world!  Thanks so much for visiting here today!  Take care, hugs!!:-))

Lovely Lilacs

Hi there!

Warm one day and cold the next...brrr!  Yesterday it was in the 70's.  Now today it's in the 40's.  Mother Nature is certainly confused...hehehe.  But, it is spring and it is to be expected.  Anyways, I just wanted to share with you a photo of lovely lilacs that I arranged in a vase before visiting my Mom.  I love the smell of lilacs, don't you?!  My Mom was pleased and excited to receive them.  I hope you are enjoying your weekend so far.  I hope to be back here again soon to post a card.  Take care and thanks so much for dropping by, hugs!

Birthday Wishes!

Birthday Bash!

Hi Friends!

Celebration time come on!  Remember that song?!  I'm probably dating myself!  But, it's time to celebrate when it's birthday time!  I have several cards to make for June birthdays, so I thought I'd get started.  Just look at that fun/sweet inspiration photo from the The Shabby Tea Room!  We were to use a cupcake on the card.  So, if you look closely, there's a sweet little cupcake.  I found some great pom pom trim from Martha Stewart on one of my shopping trips.  I used some chipboard and covered it with Melissa Frances paper.  Lots of layers and distressing with tea dye ink.  Ribbon, button, gems, and sewing to finish off my card.  Mmmm cupcakes...I think I'm getting hungry!  Thanks for stopping by today, friends! 
Take care, hugs!!
