"A THANK YOU WITH CLASS"

Hello stampers! Yesterday was my birthday, and I also held a stamping class. At my class I was blown away with the sweetest surprise! Two fabulous ladies, (Donna and Kirsten), brought me a present! I was given the sweet little owl card you see below with a gift card to Starbucks! And a dozen muffins! I love the card, love Starbucks, AND the muffins are very yummy!!!

That was sooo sweet of you both!!!

THANK YOU!!!

I have so much fun sharing creativity in my classes, and would love for you to join us! The next class will be held on Tuesday December, 6th from 12:30 PM - 2:30 PM at the Madison, TN Hobby Lobby. We will be making the four projects you see above in this class. The cost is $15.00 per person, and all you need to bring is your scissors and choice of adhesives! If you are in the Nashville area and would like to attend just let me know!

Thanks for stopping by!

ELF ON A SHELF REQUESTS...

Hello stampers! First of all, thank you so much for all the positive feedback on my Elf on a Shelf! I am honored to hear how many of you enjoyed this project! I have had a few requests for directions on my little elf. Well, I have good news and bad news. Lets start with the good news; I am currently working on a tutorial for an extremely similar project. The tutorial will be the same for the elf except for a few slight modifications. The bad news is; The tutorial I am putting together is for the 2011 Holiday UStamp with Dawn and Friends blog hop. This is only bad news because it will not go live until Dec. 1st thru Dec. 4th, so you will have to wait a little while. The blog hop is free and will feature many other fabulous stampers and their amazing projects too! Keep your eyes peeled Dec. 1st - 4th for the details on how to make this little guy and another special little guy!

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a fabulous day!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Hello stampers! It is that time of year again, when we are all reminded to be thankful for what we have. This 12 x 12 page is perfect for sharing just that, what we are thankful for. More than anything I am thankful for my family and good health. Without either one of those things life would lose meaning. What are you thankful for?

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a fabulous Thanksgiving ☺

♥ ELF ON A SHELF ♥

Hello stampers! After recently discovering "Elf on a Shelf", even though this concept has been around for a while, I decided to create my own Elf on a Shelf! The story goes; Since Santa is so busy and only one person, he sends his elves to see if you are naughty or nice. Your elf sits up on a shelf as he keeps a watchful eye for the big man up North. I thought this was such a cute idea and just had to make one! My elf was inspired by one of my all time favorite elves, "Buddy the Elf".

Jani's Confession...
LOL. I do the same thing with ideas at night. I actually keep a little book light and pen and pad by my bed so I can write enough info down to jog my memory about the project I had in mind. Now if I could only do something to organize all those little pieces of paper...LOL.

♥ Here is my Stampin' Confession;
Sometimes when I am "trying" to fall asleep at night, I get a burst of ideas. The kind of ideas that cannot wait until morning. You know the ones that give you a second wind and make you leap out of bed cause you can't wait to put your abstract ideas to paper. Because of this I sometimes lose much needed sleep, but can't help it... When you gotta' stamp, you gotta' stamp, right?

♥ Now it is your turn:
Leave your Stampin' Confession at the bottom of this post and you will be entered into a drawing to win a Stampin' Confessions Stampin' Addicts Support Kit! Drawings will be made, and the winner announced on Wednesday November 9th.
