book review for blooging fo books

2011-10-23T13:29:00.000-05:00

A Sound Among the Trees takes places over several time periods. It involves people of several different generations as well.
Marielle reminded me of Ruth with her, I will go where you go and your people will be my people attitude towards her new husband and his grandmother in law and her house. Marielle's choices are not easy, but her character makes them believable and admirable.
Adelaide, or "Mimi", is a feisty self titled old blue haired lady. I enjoyed her spunk and evolving through out the book. I guess you really are never too old to learn.
Caroline, to me, brought it all together, and made sense of a strange family dynamic.
I felt like Carson's character was pretty weak, and almost pointless to the story. I would have like for his role to have more significance, other than providing the odd family set up.
Susannah is my favorite character, and I loved reading her letters. It was a great insight into what life during the civil war must have been like for civilians. It was also a great time look into life during that era.
I would highly recommend this book for a fun and light history lesson.

fun Christmas gifts

2010-12-03T11:40:00.003-06:00

So, a friend of mine reads all the time, but doesn't have a bookmark, so I asked her and she said she couldn't keep up with them. So a few weeks later, I found some elastic ones and almost bought her one, but then second guessed myself. I told her about them and she thought they were a great idea. So, I made some!!!
The other pictures are bulletin boards I made for my 15 year old niece and my cousin's 15 year old twins for Christmas!!!

better late than not at all

Back to School

2009-08-26T09:26:00.002-05:00

Well, it is that time of year again. I love to make things for teachers. I found this in a SU! magazine, but had no instructions, so I called SU! and they found the directions and emailed them to me! isn't that nice? I sure thought so. But I have had a ball making them, and plan to do a class soon.
fun little notebooks.

I had fun!

2009-08-21T10:00:00.003-05:00

Terri and I had a blast last night making necklaces! So much so that my mom came to the stamp room and said she thought there were 20 people back there. Terri made some really pretty things. And I made this....don't you wish you had been there? ;)

yesterday

2009-08-18T09:06:00.003-05:00

It is a little sad how much I LOVE PTA. I can't really explain it. But, I do. Tonight is our first board meeting, and I volunteered to do the decorations. So I made this fun napkin holder, that will double as a door prize. Then I thought all the decor should double as door prizes. So, I made paw print book marks, the ones on the jumbo paper clips, and put them in decorated band aid tins. I didn't have enough book marks, so I made some magnet clips with the paws as well. Then, I did put the paws on the candy jars as well.

The name tags are always fun to make. I love the new ribbon!

This year I had the privilege to serve as the Kindergarten coordinator at Spring Valley. I loved it and loved those teachers. It was a great year, and I had a hard time moving on. I had a need to leave a token with each of them, so I took the vases from Ikea and put some rub ons and ribbons on them, they can use them to hold pencils if nothing else. I made the gift sacks out of white lunch bags, card stock, papers, and ribbon.
This is just a small token of my affection for these ladies, and I hope they all have a fabulous summer, they have all earned it!

2009-05-31T23:12:00.004-05:00

So you all know how very special Brittany is to me. I adore this girl, who is about to be a mommy.
So much so that my oldest son was her "flower boy". long story.
I got the privilege to make her baby shower invites for our church shower.
I am trying to get her bedding on here, but it isn't working so well, maybe tomorrow. So you can see my inspiration.
but here are the invites.....so fun.

baby books

2009-05-29T14:55:00.004-05:00

A friend of mine is helping with some baby showers, and we made these cute little books to have for people to sign and write in for the moms to keep forever.
Have I mentioned how much I LOVE the big shot? the scallop die is perfect for these projects.

Be watching for the retired lists, coming very soon.

Emily's Scrap Club

2009-05-20T15:58:00.005-05:00

Here is the layout for our May Scrap Club meeting. Emily will be our host.
I really like the "debossing" technique we did in stamp club, so I thought I would bring it over to scrap club. I also love the summer colors, they scream fun. The open layout allows you to tailor the page to your needs, one large picture, or lots of smaller ones, or some of both. and there is plenty of room to journal. the fun summer fruit just finishes it off. We will meet Wednesday, May 27th at 7 pm, come and join in the fun.

a fun card

2009-05-18T22:23:00.001-05:00

A friend fell in love with the tool set in the catalog, and has made teacher gifts with the set.
She let me use her set Saturday to make this cute card.

Envelope Box Class

2009-05-17T20:32:00.002-05:00

My dear friend Sylvia made me this box, then she showed me how to make it!
It is too cute and fun, and could be for a ton of different purposes. You could do a calendar on each sheet, or coupons, or keep handy info on each page, the sky is the limit. You can make it any size you wish.
Tuesday night May 19th at 7pm, come and make one!
Cost is $10 and covers all supplies and you leave with a cute fun box, and all the info needed to make more!
Please RSVP for a spot.

Best Teachers Ever!

2009-05-13T10:45:00.002-05:00

This year we have been so blessed. Both my sons have the most amazing teachers. They are perfect fits. This has been a great year, and I am sad it is almost over.
Teacher Appreciation was LAST week, and I just got my gifts made.
I would have loved to give them pedicure gift cards, or out to eat gift cards, but May is a gift filled month as it is. So, I made them little tins, and filled them with cards they can use. They are both so quick to send thank yous out, I figured they could always use those.
I made 8 of three different cards, then 8 just separate ones.

2009-04-21T07:49:00.003-05:00

I can not tell you how much I love my stamp club! they are such fun women! We had a great time last night. lots of laughs. "who is the lady with the red hair?" so fun.

Anyway, May 1st and 2nd we are having a ladies retreat at church, and i am in charge on the card making portion of the event. cool, huh? we get to make 4 cards in 30 minutes, so they have to be simple. I made 4 with the chocolate/pink/blue theme. I wasn't thrilled with them. So, I used the pink flamingo paper and redid them! adds a little pizzaz. Here is the first set.
Here is the first go.

Here is the second go.

Happy Easter and Stamp a Stack

2009-04-09T08:01:00.005-05:00

Happy Easter everyone! I do love spring time and Easter time. This is such a fun time of year, and full of memories from my childhood of my mom's extended family. I can't wait to see them again this weekend. Now I have new traditions with Scott's family to look forward too.
Another exciting event is Jews for Jesus. They will be at BMBC tomorrow night at 7, and I love their presentation. They do the whole passover feast and demonstrate the truth of Jesus as the Messiah. I am really looking forward to that.
For some crazy reason, I am in charge of the entire Spring Valley Kindergarten's Easter Party. So, I am off to stake off the park for that, but wanted to show you the samples for Tuesday night's Stamp a Stack. PLEASE RSVP. Cost is $10 for 15 cards.
Each card can be changed to the sentiment you need. I just used these for a sample.
If I don't see you before, have a very Happy Easter, time of new life.

pocket card

2009-04-01T11:44:00.003-05:00

This was tons of fun to make, and everyone adores it. Mine is a bit busy, but I was using what I had on hand.
A sweet friend showed me how to make this, she had taken a $35 class on it! Mine is not as dolled up as hers, but it is really just a pattern anyway. She made some for graduation, complete with photos, well wishes, remembrances, gift cards, and cash. She also made a Valentine and Mother's Day one. so the sky is the limit as always.
I am going to have a class on Monday, April 27th. I am charging $15. I am going to order the simply scrappin kits to make these with. I think the patterned papers and embellishments will be perfect. We can get two cards out of one kit! So, that is cool. You can keep your half of the kit, even if you don't use it all.
please RSVP no later than April 16th to reserve a spot!

It is so sad that I can't upload pictures from my camera right now. But thankfully I have a scanner.

we are making two wedding cards, two baby cards, and two favor/treat ideas.
The match box doesn't show up well from the scanner at all, but they are super cute!
Come Friday at 7pm and make some fun stuff!
cost is $5 and please RSVP! Thanks so much.

March Technique Class ~ Bleaching

2009-03-13T23:21:00.002-05:00

It has been a really long time since I have done anything with bleach. This month's SU! magazine highlights some bleaching, so I thought it would be perfect to do for our tech class.
Tuesday night at 7:00 come and make 3 different cards using bleach, three different ways!

scrap club ~ Nicole

2009-03-02T08:58:00.002-06:00

Have no fear, there will be a blue version available.
