Hello Everyone

changedbygrace@mvn.net (Debbie) — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 19:41:00 +0000

No I haven't fell off the face of the earth. I promise I am back. I have been working on some ATC's this week, and when finished I will post pictures. The past year has been a strange one for me. I lost my job a year ago May. I found a job late May this year. I love it. I am working at the local Christian book store. I work with 4 wonderful woman. I will have to get pics and introduce you to them.

The end of April this year my husband was laid off. So that meant no income, so thus I go back to work. Its only part time so it shouldn't interfere with my art and posting on here.

My friend/sister Paula drug me to Red Lead Store the other day, I believe it was her way of inspiring me again so that I would start creating again. Well, Sis, it worked. =)

Ok I am going to post this and will be back soon with new pics.

Love,

Deb

Very Vintage Christmas Swap

changedbygrace@mvn.net (Debbie) — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 11:58:00 +0000

Heidi over on Foxgloves, Fabrics and Folly hosted a wonderful Vintage Christmas Swap.
My wonderful Swap partner Linda, has an awesome blog: LBP Sews.
She sent me some awesome presents. I just love them all. Please be
prepared for a LONG post. =)

I opened my box, removed the packing and there they were. Presents never ending it seemed.
All I could see was present after present, I was like a kid on Christmas Morning.

Look at all these wonderful wrapped gifts. I am telling you I wanted to rip into
as soon as I took one out. But I knew I wanted a pic of them all together,
so I waited.

LOOOK!!! At all of those wonderful presents, my table is so full of goodies. I LOVE the ELF pillow. He has crystals hanging from the points on his shirt. He has an awesome smile, he is so Happy that its Christmas time.

I love this Vintage Cookie Book. It was printed in 1963. (that is actually the year I was born)
I love it. I have made some cookies out of it already. (that's another post soon)

She made this awesome Joy Banner. I love it.

Christmas cookie cutter, Santa toothpick holder, and a very pretty Cheese Ball Plate.
I can't wait to put my cheese ball on it Christmas Day. So pretty.

Look at these pretty Christmas towels that I can hang in the Kitchen..and a Green Rubber
Spatula.

I love homemade ornaments. They are so sweet I can't wait till I get my tree tonight and put
them on my tree full of homemade ornaments that my boys and I have made over the years.

I love this pewter Santa key. How I would loved to of had this when my guys were little.
We never had a fireplace, I had always told the boys that Santa had a special key to open
our door and come in.
The story that comes with the key, "Please don't worry -
If your house has no chimney,
I can still deliver your toys,
I won't ring your bell or knock on your door,
'cause I'd wake you with all of that noise.
If you'll hang this magic Santa Key
on your doorknob Christmas Eve,
I'll let myself in, deliver your
presents, and then I'll quietly leave!

Santa"

Here is a facial shot of the Santa toothpick holder.

Some vintage items: Vintage Postcard from 1908, A "vintage picture" with a magnetic calendar on it, and the Awesome Christmas journal/Recipe book. I love it and have started putting
our favorite Christmas recipes in it.

This very cute candy dish it has 4 different Christmas designs on all 4 sides: Christmas tree, Snowman, Santa, Reindeer. The dish was filled with mints.

I saved the best for last. I dearly love this Snowman. He is so CUTE.....hugging the little deer and has a snowflake in has hand. He has such a cute smile.

Linda I want to say THANKS...I love everything!.

This time Jennie used the baubles from the, seasonal grunge board(which is now on her website!) and embossed them through my Big Shot on a harlequin embossing plate. Then she wiped red brick and worn lipstick distressed inks over them , and highlighted the bows in gold stickles. She stamped the Merry Christmas in the same colour-red brick.

Creating a December Daily Album by Ali Edward

December Daily is a way to celebrate the traditions and everyday blessings during the month of December. Check out the links for more details on putting together your own album. Look for more examples to come during the month of December.

Creating A December Daily Album: Part One

December Daily is an album that documents the month of December leading up to Christmas day (and sometimes beyond - that's completely up to you). It is a chance to reflect, to share, to celebrate the season in a manageable, in-the-moment way. The entire key to this album is to put it together BEFORE December. This is the first of a few posts on the process of putting together this album. In December I will share my finished pages each day

(I am just getting mine started, It would of been easier I think if I had found this earlier and could of been ready ahead of time. Mental note for next year :) Deb)

December Daily: Day One

So much of this project is about working with what you have set up for yourself (especially if you put the foundation pages together in advance). Each time I do this project I reminded how much I like setting it up ahead. I like having some parameters to work in - a bit of direction that takes some of that initial guess-work and decision making out of the way.

December Daily Album : Part Two

Now comes the fun part: selecting + organizing + numbering pages. One of the things I aim for in this album is variety: sizes, textures, colors, edges, etc.........

December Daily : Q & A
You can go here and find answers to some of the questions that you might have.

Click on the links and check out Ali's album, I believe its going to be a lot of fun.

Ok I am off to collect all my items so I can get busy..WOO HOO, I love Christmas time!!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
Love,

Debxoxo

The Beautiful Couple

After driving for 9 hours we finally made it to Akron Ohio. Wow, that was the longest drive I think I have ever taken. We finished decorating the hall and I finished the cake.

The Wedding has finally came and gone. The Wedding was beautiful, the Wedding came off without a hitch.

Mr. and Mrs. Clouse
They are such an adorable couple. They both were so happy, I wish them the best and a long happy life.

We had 4 tables of Decadent desserts at the Reception. Just about anything you wanted and it was there. If you didn't fill your sweet tooth, you didn't eat enough. LOL

I was so honored that I was able to make their cake and flowers. (flowers are shown on a earlier post.)

The cake table from a distance. I asked his cousins to help me decorate the table. They jumped in wrapped the ivy with the lights, and then took the pink tulle and made bows. I think it turned out lovely. Thanks sweeties, for helping me.

Congrats to the parents of the Groom who have a wonderful new daughter now. And a BIG congrats to the Bride and Groom.

Map Of The United States

changedbygrace@mvn.net (Debbie) — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 17:29:00 +0000

A father wanted to read a magazine but was being bothered by his little
Girl, Shelby. She wanted to know what the United States looked like.

Finally, he tore a sheet out of his new magazine on which was printed the
Map of the country. Tearing it into small pieces, he gave it to Shelby and
Said, 'Go into the other room and see if you can put this together. This
Will show you our whole country today.'

After a few minutes, Shelby returned and handed him the map, correctly
Fitted and taped together. The father was surprised and asked how she had
Finished so quickly. 'Oh,' she said, 'on the other side of the paper is a
Picture of Jesus. When I got all of Jesus back where He belonged, then our
Country just came together.'

AMEN

I received this in an email, isn't it the TRUTH though!!!!

Making flowers for a friends wedding.

changedbygrace@mvn.net (Debbie) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 23:26:00 +0000

I love making flower arrangements. I haven't had a chance to make any arrangements in along time. Both of my boys wanted me to make flowers for their high school dances, I felt so honored when they asked me too. My mother taught me how to make flower arrangements and I really enjoy it.

My best friend, Paula, my Sistuh, as she says. Her son Paul and Leah are getting married on Nov. 22ND and they needed someone to make flowers. I told Paula, I could make them if needed. So this is what I have been doing.

(front view)

This flower is for the Mothers and Grandmothers.

(right side view)

(left side view)

The flowers for the Men involved.

Two views of the flowers for the Bridesmaids.

The beautiful bride to be made her own bouquet, the basket for the flower girl, and pillow for the ring bearer. Thanks Paul and Leah for allowing me to be part of your wedding. I wish you both the best of everything and a LONG happy life.

Now I just need to get the Wedding Cake made.

There will be more pictures to come.
