Halloween is coming!

I made two dolls for a lady for Halloween and I also made a small box (8" x 8") scene with some Graphic 45 papers called Happy Hauntings.

My birthday

I had a great birthday yesterday. Here are pictures of what I got with my CRAFT birthday girls group money. Lots of great paper stuff and ribbons and trinkets. I have lots of fun ahead of me!
My sister got me the new Kindle Fire HD! It is so cool. She brought it to me all the way from Illinois. She has been visiting all week. We are having a great time. My hubby got me a tracphone as I don't have a regular cell phone and said I needed something. My car broke down last Sunday and I had to borrow a cell phone to call hubby. I was thinking what if I broke down at night on one of our rural roads. So he got me my piece of mind. My daughter Sam got me new teflon pans I asked for. She also got me an Amazon gift card! :) My daughter Stephanie got me a plant and flowers and a Starbucks gift card. My Mother in Law gave me cash! Always love finding bargins!
I had such a great 61st birthday!!

 to me!

Queen of Hearts

Here is a doll I made for a CDA challenge in the Vintage studio. It is the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. I had fun doing her, especially her face! I am a real fan of Alice books and want to make more of the characters. I have made the two in the header of my blog already!

Another book or two! LOL

Here are some pictures of more mini album making! This one is a round album with a 6" diameter. I used lots of different papers and embellishments.

Here is a 4" mini I made for a challenge. We were only allowed to use so many pockets, tags and embellishments. We had to use 15 buttons! We had to make the album and hinge the pages.

More gifts in the mail!

Here is a pick of the gorgeous, beatuiful, useful things I got in the mail from Judy. We were swapping fabric flowers. As you can see, she was way generous in the extras she sent along!

Aren't all these handmade flowers just amazing!

My Friends swap

Here are all the wonderful gifts I got from Angie.  Thanks so much Angie!!!

 The swap was held by Khris. She usually has one every year.

Stuff I have been making

I am really stuck in this paper art stuff. I managed to quilt a runner but didn't get a picture. Here are pictures of what I have been making. The first is an album for my few ATC's. I love graphic 45 paper!!
The second set is a mini album of pictures of my granddaughter I made for my daughter.

This is a kitty I made from a pattern from Connie McBride Johnson on my CDA group.
