Last 2009 post!

Can't believe the year is just about over!  Wow, it sure has gone by so fast.  This is my last post until the new Decade/2010!

Another rak to give....

I saw this great tutorial on Lysa's blog, and thought that it would make a great way to give out a rak, so this is my take on it.  I made it a little wider because of what I was putting in it.  Hope the recipient like's it!

I used CS from SU, and the gift stamp was from my sister, the cute sentiment is a Dandelion Stamp.

I will be posting a rak on my next post that I recieved in the mail yesterday, I then decided to "pay it forward" so I created some earrings with it, and sent out about 8 pairs in the mail last night to some friends....I'll post that tomorrow, because hopefully they should get it in their mail today or tomorrow.

Have a great day!

I got this Tinkerbell  Gift Set from Brenda, she is the Queen of punch art, check out her blog, she makes the cutest things using punches!!  Thanks Breanda for coming over to craft with us & for this cute "Tink" gift set.  I LOVE it.

I wanted to make a few small things to give to the girls at our Dental & Doctors offices, these are the things I decided to do, filled them chocolates.

I knew I would make use of these empty Crystal Light containers one day...LOL

OCS, RAK & Holiday Tea w/Friends~

My OCS partner this month was the Sweet Lorna, of Stickernut Stamps.  She not only sent me this Pretty & Sassy card, she also included some Tinkerbell goodies!!  Thanks so much Lorna & for the sweet email.

This next RAK is from my GF Justine, she gave me this Beautiful Paper clip Holder on Thursday.  I told her to post to her blog!  She made one to follow mine & jump on to other local crafters, but she needs to start posting her pretty Creations...I like the way she not only used the nesties, but ran it throught the snowflake embossing folder. 

The Following is pictures of our Holiday Tea I was invited to  today, these are my scrapbooking girls...not card ones or bloggers yet!   LOL    This was the beautiful set up.

Hello all my Sweet & Dear Friends!  Hope everyones week has been going good, it went by so fast for me.  I am still working on things here on my blog, but until my DD downloads her Photoshop program onto her new laptop the BIG changes won't be for awhile.....LOL

  I was invited for Tea this weekend with a few friends, so I decided to surprise them with a little favor.  I made this Christmas theme one using Miss Hello Kitty!  Thanks Dawne for letting me borrow it. 

Here is the rest in the making.....

Creating w/ friends...

I got to share my BIA with a couple of friends last night & we created a few projects....this is my creations that I had made to show them...I just helped them make theirs.....had too much fun, I couldn't get up this morning!!  Alicia you up yet?  LOL

I made 2 of these sets for my hubby's girls in his office.

This one is for one of his co-workers who is a big "Edward" fan!  This is a Himawari Baby image, so cute yeah?

My daughter is in a Twilight gift swap from a blog that she follows....so I made these 2 for her to give out.

I made this for a very Dear friend that lost her son in Iraq.  He was killed by a sniper....she can always have him close at hand, especially when she uses this book mark, she loves to read romance books, the two of us swap books all the time!!  Love you Adele.

Hope you are all having a great week so far, mine has been a good one , just need to go to bed early tonight!!

Hugs
