Flowers and Such!!

Everyone has been making such fabulous paper flowers!! My friend Kima makes some of the best!! You can check out her fab creations on her blog spot, found here: http://kimaskreations.blogspot.com/

I was super inspired by her gorgeous flowers, and decied to try some pretty roses for myself!! She told me about this great way to keep them from getting smashed too!! It's an awesome plan!! Here's a picture of my flowers. Quite different from Kima's, but I really like them...maybe because it took me making a dozen that didn't look like flowers to achive these!! Yes, they are a work in progress!! *L*

My flowers:

I had so much fun making the flowers, that I had to find some way to use them!!

Next week is Teacher Appriciation Week. Our school is celebrating by doing something special for the teachers everyday. Monday is 'bring your teacher thier favorite candy day.'

So we bought the candy and 'fancied' it up!!

2 Hershey Bars, 1 Extra Bubble Gum and 1 package of Starburst!!

That's it for now. I want to do a give away in the near future. Just need to see if anyone really comes here!! *LOL* Thanks for stopping by!! Until next time...Tootles!!

Gifts

A Gift for Granny

My Granny is celebrating her 75th birthday with a big party, thrown by my mother. Granny lives 600 miles away. We won't be able to go to her party, but I want to send her something. Bless her heart, she doesn't really need anything, and definatly has very little space in which to put anything else!! So, I thought I would make her something useful!! She likes to send cards and letters, so I made her a stationary box. I covered a sturdy chipboard box and decorated the top. I filled it with homemade cards. (some made by me some made by others I've swapped with.) I added an address book, (do you know it's nearly impossible to find these anymore??) and a nice pen to the box as well. I'm also going to add a book of stamps so she will be able to actually mail them!! I really hope she likes it!!

A Mini for Michelle


While shopping at Michael's a few weeks ago, I found this darling little Scottie dog chipboard album. My BFF LOVES Scottie dogs, so I picked one up for her. I just finished and have it ready to mail. It's quite simple but I think she will love it!!



I'm still doing swaps and posting things to my gallery at Scrapbooking dot com. You can look me (finallymama) up there anytime to see what I have been up to!!
Until next time...tootles!!

Easter Boxes

Today was a beautiful day here in Michigan!! It was warm and sunny!! The daffodils are in bloom and I can't wait to see the tulips!!

Today started Spring break for us. Yeah!! Fun, fun!! I thought I would share with you the gifts I made for DD's teachers for Easter/Spring Break!! I had these boxes stored away and just came upon them while looking for something else...imagine that??!! *L* Anyway, I got the idea to turn them into egg holder boxes. So I got out my trusty Gypsy and Cricut and designed an insert to hold the eggs in place. Then I went to Walgreens and picked up 6 different kinds of chocolate eggs for each box. Then the hard work started!! Not really, it was the fun part!! I covered the boxes with some springy patterned paper. Added the inserts and the eggs. A little Easter grass and jelly beans and wha-la....Easter Boxes!! Here they are:
