Sleigh bells ring, are ya listenin’?

I know it’s only fall but it certainly feels like winter around my house. The flu season has begun and has took aim at my youngest child, Jenna. Since Friday we have been battling a 103 degree fever, dry cough, sore throat, and just general nastiness. I am literally going on one hour of sleep today as my daughter turns into the most cranky, clingy child when she’s ill and her inner beast emerges every night from the hours of 12am and 5am. Ugh! Goodness knows there is no job on earth harder than that of a mother.

Anyway, on to today’s template! I received an email from one of my blog readers – hi Audrey! – who asked if  I would be able to create a Christmas template that would be suitable for a table centerpiece. I had created this sleigh template last year but did very little with it. I took another jab at it today, modifying the rails so that it would be able to withstand some weight. I only wish I knew how to use my camera to take stunning photos for you.

Happy Graduation!

I was able to spend some time yesterday finalizing these little graduation cap gift boxes. I think they turned out super cute!

Sweet Valentine Gift Box

I am so glad that the holidays are over. I am completely exhausted. But, there is no time for procrastination! A woman must go forth and plan for the next holiday!

This is a cute little heart shaped gift box. It can be filled with an assortment of small candies or even a set of heart shaped gift cards. Again, my cardstock, stamp, and accessory stash is extremely low so I wasn’t able to pull off anything extremely fancy but I’m sure you’ll get the idea.

2010 Circle Calendar is Here for the New Year!

2010 is just a few months away and I have just finished the new 2010 Circle Calendar template for you. This is an updated version of the very popular 2009 version I created last year. This is a craft you can use all year to help you stay organized.

The finished size is about 6″ in diameter so it can fit just about anywhere you need it.

It can be easily decorated any way you want and the wheel turns so you can view any month of the year…

Guess Whoooo? It’s A New Owl Gift Bag

With owl’s being so popular right now I couldn’t resist creating a cute little Owl Gift Bag. This gift bag stands on its own and can be filled with treats or other special items. It can also collapse to lay flat so you can easily store it for future use.
