Making flowers for a friends wedding.

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.

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.

Love,

I've been Crafting

I hope everyone is having fun helping me celebrate my 100th post. Please go to the previous post and have some tea and cupcakes with the Mad Hatter!!! Thanks for visiting and all your wonderful comments.

This crazy Owl is wondering what that was that just flew by him. The Wicked Witch is searching for her next victim, wanting to put a spell on someone or something.

I made this Hanging Artist Trading Card using Vintage Black and Vintage Orange Crepe Paper, the Orange Rick Rack is Vintage also. I tore the black into and adhered it onto the orange crepe paper. Of course I adhered the witch and her pumpkin on top of the Crepe Paper. Took 2 pieces of black and 1 of the orange, cut them with my decorative scissors glued them all to the bottom of the ATC, topping with the Vintage Rick Rack. I used my Crop-a-Dile and punched holes in the top corners and inserted the checked orange ribbon.

Hanging Artist Trading Card #2 is on orange scrapbook paper, with a picture labeled "Chums". This is a Vintage Picture. The scared little girl is hugging her cat close as they go Trick or Treating. I adhered her to the scrapbook paper. I again cut the Vintage Crepe Paper with my decorative scissors and added the black dotted ribbon on top of the Crepe Paper. I used the Crop-A-Dile to punch holes in the top corners again and added the Black Star Garland for the hanger.

This little Pumpkin guy and his cat is scared that something might get him, so he is hiding behind the tree. The picture is adhered to card stock and trim added to the top and bottom.

Thank you for stopping by!!

This year we are visiting "Jerusalem Marketplace- Where Jesus Walked to the Cross." The outfits that the children above and the Rabbi are wearing, I made those out fits.

Welcome to my site

Well I am new at this, I hope in time that this will be a really cool place that you will want to visit. I love doing crafts; altered art, scrapbooks, and sewing. I also love to cook and bake. I bake and decorate cakes and cookies also. So from time to time you will see pictures of the latest cake I am working on. In the summers I love to garden, go camping, hikes, and bike rides. I love taking digital pictures, I am just learning how to do digital creations on the computer, so BEWARE. =) I am excited about sharing my creations with you. I love surfing the Internet to find new projects to work on.
A very close and dear friend/sister of mine said that I was crafty and I needed to start a blog to share my crafts with everyone. So here I am, I hope you enjoy visiting my site as I am excited about sharing them with you.

I recently discovered INCHIES on the Internet (my sweet sister was talking about them also). I love doing them, they are very simple and something that I can do while watching television with my husband, Chuck and son, Caleb.

I also get ideas from Art magazines. I love this day of technology, so many places to look and surf for ideas. One of my favorite magazine's is Somerset Studio. In the Volume 1 Issue 1 2007, I found these darling little House Pins, by Artist Victoria Gertenback, that I just had to make. I love them, I know it will be something I will be making from time to time.

Well I guess I have bent your ears/eyes long enough for the first post. I will be back again soon to share more I am sure.


Huggles,

Deb
