Christmas Craft Haul

It's that time of year again...The Holiday Season is upon us and of course for me that means at least a shopping spree or two at one of my favorite Craft Stores, Michaels!

I have been so inspired and excited by some of the awesome projects I have been seeing and "pinning" on Pinterest the last few months, so I decided to pick-up some supplies to keep my creativity flowing this season!

Check out my video of my most recent craft haul and see all the goodies I got!

It's a bit long, but I had fun making the video, because I love to talk about crafting!

Actually, I love to talk in general! LOL!

Hubby is probably awfully glad I did this video today...saved him from having to hear all my babbling! :)

He is such a great Husband though...he always tries his best to listen...even when I go on forever about nothing!

Thank-you all for checking in with me and I will be back soon, (hopefully tomorrow) with a posting about the latest craft challenge I am entering!

Thank-you Card for one of My Blog Hop Wins

I have been blessed to win a few great items (blog candy) on some blog hops lately and I wanted to say Thank-you to all of the bloggers who treated me to their great candy!

This card is the first one I have completed (It's still taking me awhile to finish cards!).

I am sending this thank-you to the awesome Star at Stars Paper Passion Blog.

She was participating in the Kid's Craft Blog Hop on February 20th which was hosted by another awesome blogger: The Purple Scrapbooker Jen

This blog hop was a lot of fun because the projects were all done by children!

There really were some great projects that showed so much wonderful creativity and talent!

Even though the blog hop is over, if you'd like to check out some of the adorable projects, just click here and you can follow the list of blog sites and see them all.

I was fortunate to be the winner of Star's blog candy and this is what I won!

I was very excited about this, as I have been wanting these for a long time!
They are perfect for picking up those very tiny pieces when you are layering something small.

I cannot tell you how many times I have lost those tiny pieces because I can't get a good grip on them with my fingers and they fly out of my hand and into the vast unknown black hole...never to be found again!

I want to Thank Star and her 3 children who participated in the hop and created such cute projects!
