Goodbye November

I must say November whisked by without even a chance to come up for air!
My FALL decorating consisted of spreading around leaves that my dear friends rescued for me from the mountains of NC!
There has been plenty of papercrafting going on - pictures will follow this post - I have added 'new camera battery' to my wishlist as the two current failing ones slow down the process of taking & adding photos. I have been in rescue mode of my pictures this month. My 'mini vault' for storage off the computer is giving up and I am patiently trying to move the zillion photos from it before it refuses to allow access again!!

TOMORROW Starts a new month - We welcome you DECEMBER! Even being a busy time of year - the delight of friends, family, tradition, love, and the gift of a Savior are things to be cherished!


HOW WILL YOU BE SPENDING YOUR HOLIDAY MONTH??
Comment below a favorite tradition for the Christmas season??

Happy Monday!

Well this weekend's SCRAPTIQUE event was a GRAND success!
My friend and upline with Close To My Heart, Susan T. and I had a wonderful time teaching and serving ladies from all over Southern Florida!
Origami Wreaths were a hit and people were making multiple ones of every kind of paper!
Susan and I dressed up - she was a giant tomato and I was "Smartie Pants Papercrafter" - answers for ALL your Papercrafting questions!!
MARK YOUR CALENDARS for JANUARY 28-29, 2012 for the next event!


Now to unpack my supplies! Happy Monday - make it a great day!

Halloween Origami!

Some how I managed to skip September all together but here I am with mid-October!

Wanted to share a little Halloween design - this is a 12" origami wreath made by my dear friend Jen C.
She is quite talented and made this adorable fun decoration!
Our stamp club learned the origami wreath technique and has gone wild making all different ones.
Jen just showed me paper for her Thanksgiving and TWO Christmas ones she is also making for gifts!!
