On a Candy Hunt...

Well, I have yet to win any blog candy, but that doesn't stop me from trying!!

I am on the hunt today! Here are a few links:

Love all this SU stuff on Steph's blog!

Here is some romance themed candy at Bridgette's blog...yum!

I love this pastel Easter candy on Michelle's blog.

This candy being offered asks for you favorite muffin or cake. Mine is carrot cake with very rich cream cheese icing. YUM!!

That's all for now, but I will be on the hunt later!

Enjoy Everything,

Happy Hearts Day!!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!!

I apologize for being so behind in blogging recently. I have done lots of crafting, just not lots of posting. So, be ready for a long one!!

First off, presents!!
Anakin got me the Wii Nerf Blaster game. It is so fun! I blasted some serious robot butt!! My wonderful hubby got me this...Isn't it gorgeous? I LOVE IT!!! The diamond is princess cut, and there are two round ones on the sides of the center stone as well as three round ones on the sides of the band. He did good!

Now for crafty stuff...

I made this card for my honey...
The paper is Love, Elsie, and the stamp is SU A Little Somethin' hostess set. I embossed it with pink embossing enamel. I never emboss!!

I made this card for Grandma from Anakin. I embossed it as well, and the paper is also Love, Else.
This is the card I made for Anakin...
And...the card Anakin made for me...You will recognize the supplies...

He stamped in Pink Passion ink, because Mom loves pink, the sentiments "Love you a latte!" (Mom loves coffee) and "I stink you're sweet". He also stamped the dotted circle with the flower inside and was so proud of himself. The best part is what he wrote...
Dear Mom, Thanks for all the things you do to us. Sometimes you get on my nerve but other times you can be a very great mom. Your Son, Anakin D. Bush

Gotta love him!!!

These are the Valentines we made for my class and his. The top hearts are for my class, and the bottom are for his.

I altered these Frappucino jars and filled them with M&Ms for my co teachers. They were really fun and easy to make.

Whew!!! That was a long one!! I hope you like all our creations!!

Enjoy Everything,
Natty

Crabby Birthday!!

Today is my sweetie's 41st birthday. Happy birthday, Honey!!

I worked very hard last night, after American Idol of course, to make this card for him. I love this set and the sentiments that come with it. I cased a card in the gallery for this set, Crab & Company, on SCS for the design. I am not a card maker typically, but am improving every time!!

He liked it, and I hope you do, too!
Supplies Used: Crab & Company by SU, Real Red ink, Riding Hood Red cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Real Red ribbon, scalloped circle punch, all by SU. Designer Paper is Provo Craft.

Enjoy Everything,

I love this gal's stuff! She has the cutest designs, and our styles are similar.

Lulu has the cutest stamp in her blog candy that I really want!!

Surely I can win something out of all these entries!!!

Blog Candy!!

So, I have discovered that people just GIVE things away if you go to and comment on their blogs!!!

Who knew??? I love free stuff!!!

It is sooooo cold here tonight, so I have decided to park myself and laptop in front of the fireplace and enter for as much blog candy as I can!

The first is at My Creative Cafe I love the mother book and the shape of those die cuts!

I am sure I will be adding more here as the night goes on. Stay tuned...

As promised...Check this out, Much Ado About Nothing, but really, don't...You'll decrease my chances of winning!!!

And Another with great candy...Creative Journey
