and hello again! I guess it has been awhile since I posted. Oh well, life gets in the way of my best intentions to blog. Anyways, I hope you all "out there" had a wonderful Thanksgiving.....I know that I sure did. In the 21 years that my husband and I have been together we have only had Thanksgiving at our house 3 times....including this past Thanksgiving and it was just wonderful to be home with my kids. We had such a nice time....my oldest and her boyfriend came home from Minnesota and my middle child came home from college. And we had a truly wonderful time being home with each other. Today we capped off our weekend by seeing Jersey Boys and getting a nice dinner together. After that, we all split up....Joe, Corm and I headed back to Plymouth, Bess and Tyler went to Minneapolis and Clarice back to college in Madison. Now, the Packers are on and I thought that I would take a few minutes to upload a few pictures....
First up is a card I made. I used an old, and I mean old Spellbinders die that I got at a deep, deep discount. I then stickled it and added a Hero Art's sentiment. Finally I finished it off with a Spellbinders poinsettia die as well as a bow. I like the traditional Christmas look of it!
This was a difficult card to photograph.....I just couldn't do the glitter justice! This next picture is of the centerpiece that I made for the Thanksgiving meal. It was very simple and rather rustic but I am very happy with how it turned out. I sprayed adhesive on three smallish pumpkings and then sprinkled a variety of autumnal colored glitter on them.....they turned out beautiful! Then I had several cheap-o ivory pillar candles that I "wrapped" in Tim Holtz printed tissue paper and then heated with the heat gun. They also turned out terrific and I just love how they looked when lit!
Finally, here is a shot, well a partial shot of my dining room table all decorated for the holiday meal. I feel so lucky to have had my kids home and a meal, well, a whole fabulous weekend with them.
I hope you all had a wonderful day too....Thank you for stopping by ;-D
Be well,
Sheila
