Snowflake extravaganza

Hello friends!


snowflake extravaganza!

I'm throwing a snowflake party! My customers love Stampin Up's Festive Flurry ornament kit...and what's not to love? All the pieces in the kit are printed and scored and it comes with enough supplies (except hot glue) to make 10 beautiful sparkly ornaments, all this for just $14.95!

This kit is the easy button for making lovely snowflakes!

I test drove the kit and was able to assemble all 10 in no time....then I used them to decorate! Check out these fabulous projects I made....

Plus, I made a garland for my cubicle that had my cube-mates oohing and awing  (photo coming soon).

A fall tea at the Elkridge Furnance Inn

Hello friends!

I had a lovely time with a group of women friends enjoying an afternoon tea this past weekend. We are group of 10 women who enjoy having tea parties together; we have named ourselves the Tea Bees. The Tea Bee hive missed 3 Bees who weren't able to join us.

The venue was fabulous and the food was wonderful; and the tea was plentiful, perfect for the chilly day! We met at the beautiful historic Elkridge Furnace Inn. Our table was waiting for us with the menu tempting with the great food to come....

The scone was delicious but my favorite part was the homemade jam---truly the best jam I've ever tasted!

For the next course I chose the squash soup instead of the salad...excellent with just a hint of spicyness. Super yummy!

Then a plate of savories for each of us arrived....

shrimp toast, tomato spinach with feta tart, seafood quiche, and curried chicken salad sandwich

And just when we thought it couldn't get any better, the desserts arrived....

cinnamon apple cider sorbet, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cheesecake, and chocolate raspberry truffle

All the good food and tea was made even better by the presence of good friends...

I had a small gift for each of the Bees. Since it was so close to Thanksgiving I wanted to let each one know I am thankful for their friendship. Of course, Stampin Up makes it easy to wrap packages that are functional but pretty, too! I whipped out my Tag a Bag kit and bags and in no time flat I had my small gifts wrapped...

All wrapped and pretty!

the tag a bag kit with a doily and ribbon--super easy and super cute!

Stamping is fun...and spending an afternoon with great friends, having tea is what life is all about!

I hope you are able to spend some time on Thanksgiving with people who touch your life and make it happier.

Sympathy card for loss of family dog

Hello friends!

I want to share with you a card I made for my daughter when one of her dogs died suddenly.

I wanted to send a sympathy card but it had to be just the right card. A little pinterest surfing and I found inspiration from cards posted by Kim Quade and Mary Fish which led to my card.....

This card is very easy to assemble---punch 4 small ovals and a full heart to make a paw. It's that simple!

Stamping is fun!
