The creative juices are flowing; so much so that I can not keep up. I have to write down all the ideas so I can remember them later. Has that ever happened to you?

I’ve started planning for Easter and Mother’s Day too along with Valentines Day. I have the candles in the making and I will take pictures any day now. I promise. LOL. I even have scrap booking baskets for the up coming day of love.

Well I am late with my promise of samples for this Valentines surprises for the special one in your life (this can include you too).
I went to a baby shower for a friend I have known for more than 10 years. His wife was the cutest thing. I was surprised she was not bigger since she is having twins. : – ) . Had a great time. In fact we where there for like 5 hours which really surprised me since it was co-ed and my husband wasn’t bored. LOL.

So the next day I got everything out to make my samples and to my surprise I did not have any beads in the colors I was planning to use. So I have to order the colors I wanted since the local craft store had nothing to even attempt to make my day. My apologizes. However I will have something for you soon and I pray it does not let you down. LOL…

I woke up this morning with a vision and and new projects are on the way for Valentines Day. I hope to have pictures up in about a week. These will be the first items I post that can be ordered. Keep in mind that since they are gifts that are put together by hand each will be different, however equally worth the giving.

I also have a baby shower project in process for twin girls. As always, it was fun to see what I could do… yet be different. The theme for their rooms are Winnie the Pooh, so I looked for stuff that was small enough to work with and found pacifiers and holders; teething toys. This has been interesting to say the least – I love it!

Hope to see you again real soon; have a creative day!

Well, the holidays are over. Thank GOD. Don’t get me wrong; I love to watch my kids open the gifts they received… however getting there is another thing.

Christmas to me is not Christmas unless I make at least five gifts to give. The holiday is about giving not receiving, right? It is not about how much we spend, it’s about the thought behind the gift. So each year someone special in my life will receive a gift I creatively made. This year I did Creative Memory paper albums for my youngest daughter’s first year. Amber was born in December and the album had 12 pages. I dug out the pictures I hoped showed how much she has grown this year, along with special moments of my older two with her.
I got five done, with my own still to do! I’ll post pictures of at least one so you can see the finished project. I feel really bad because two of them were for family I haven’t see in close to 20 years and they are still waiting for me to mail them. I will have to plan better for next year.

With the Creative Dream getting started just before the the Holidays I didn’t really have enough time to finish. I did get all my customer’s gifts done in an awesome turn around time. Most of them finished way before planned. Actually everything was done early. May I always have this great blessing and have customer to share this with. LOL.

I’m now getting ready for my next project, in time for Valentine’s Day. This one will include the kids, having them make special cards for their parents: A 90 minute session with two cards for ten dollars. Each extra card will be two dollars. This will include everything they need to make them. Should be lots of fun… I love working with kids; they’re so creative.

I hope everyone has a blessed and prosperous new year! See you back here soon!
