Christmas Paper Bag Album

December is upon us! Boy does time go fast! It seems like I've been busy with one thing or another and my poor blog got neglected. I'd like to get a post in here today that has a Christmas paper bag album that I posted to The Scrappy Tree blog today.

I really enjoy making paper bag albums. For the most part, they are quick things to whip up and just fun to decorate. For this one I used some old Webster's Pages Christmas paper and some of their trims as well as their stickers. I was also able to use some vintage sheet music that I got from an auction.

Here's a sample of the interior of the album. For more pics and info, please check out The Scrappy Tree blog. Have a wonderful day!

Recent Christmas Cards

Hello! I recently decided to enter another craft sale that is next month and I thought I better get moving on some Christmas cards! I had gotten Papertrey Ink's Love Lives Here: Holidays stamps and coordinating die. I just love the angel. Here are a few cards I made focusing on the angel from the set.

The following cards have Papertrey's Holiday Photo finishers stamps and dies used. The run along the bottom of the cards.

My goal is to have a minimum of 50 Christmas cards made up for this sale. I am 75% there on Christmas cards. I'd like to add more altered items to my sale list this time so we'll see how that goes! Thanks for stopping by!

A Little Friday Video

Sharing some Junk!

Hello! Today I wanted to share a few photos from the Junk Bonanza last weekend. It was just so much fun and full of great junk!


The vendors really know how to make beautiful displays!

One of these days I'll have a dressform! They are just so cool!

This was one of the prettiest shops there!

Can't wait to go next year! Of course we will have to stop at Minnesota's Largest Candy Store again! :)

No place like home

This past weekend was fun not only because I got to spend time with friends and scouring garage sales and the Junk Bonanze, but it was also a time to get crafty! I altered a fence post that I got from the thrift store a couple of weeks back for today's Scrappy Tree blog post and here is the finished product. Stop on over to The Scrappy Tree for more details! It was a fun thing to work on.

During my fun weekend, my friend Erica and I had a little craft time together before she headed off to the airport. We each made a coaster wall hanging to exchange with each other. It was a lot of fun to do. Here is what she made me:

I proudly display this in my dining room!! I love it!

A wonderful Weekend

Hello! I had a wonderful weekend with my friend from Rochester and my friend from Texas. I have a few pictures to share today. I'll have more to share once I can figure out how to get the pictures from my iphone to my computer. :)


We went to visit Minneopa State Park this weekend to see the waterfalls. The only bad thing was the dry conditions we have been having. The waterfall was just a trickle!
My friend Erica enjoying a hike up some steep stairs at the waterfall.

The kids enjoyed Erica's visit, as did I. Please excuse Dylan in his pajama pants in this picture. LOL

The girls enjoyed the Falls too.

This is one of my favorite photo op spots at the waterfall. I love the stairs that just keep going up and up!

As I said, I will have some more to share soon and I'll also share a photo of a gorgeous little coaster wall hanging that Erica made me while we were crafting on Sunday!

Thanks for stopping by today!
