Happy Thanksgiving 2011

                                                             HAPPY THANKSGIVING
My prayer for all of my family and friends is for you all to have a FUN filled day, full of LOVE and JOY!!!! Enjoy the turkey and the company!

I can't believe I am posting 2 days in a row. WOW!!!

I joined a group named,  More Paper Than Shoes. There, I joined a swap to make 7 Christmas stockings. These are the seven stockings I made for the swap, I am looking forward to seeing the ones I get in return. This was a lot of fun. I am enjoying being part of this group and learning new things! Thank You Anna and http://www.morepaperthanshoes.com/ for bringing  some JOY into my life!

Well, it is the day before Thanksgiving. Where has this month gone. During the past month, I have been busy learning how to make flowers out of paper. I am been busy changing my studio around a bit to make room for a table to create with paper. I still have my clay table and will still making things with my clay. I LOVE making jewelry, so that won't go away!!

I just wanted to pop in and say Happy Thanksgiving to all of my family and friends. Hope you have a fun filled turkey day. I know I will. I will be creating all day have having a small Thanksgiving dinner with Mary.  All of my children have other places to be on Thanksgiving Day and that is OK with me.

Wanted to show you a few new items I have made over the last few months.

This bracelet is small enough to fix  a young lady

This is just a few pieces of jewelry I have been working on.

Feel free to do some Christmas shopping!

Ok, it is November 6, 2011. I am so sorry that I haven't been more active with my blog. Every time I would come out to my blog and see that sweet Rocky face, I feelings would freeze. I would read and look at all the pictures and then I be depressed and  then I would go to sleep.  I have discovered, that is what I did when my dear Mother and my sister Loretta died. Loretta and I were big time stampers. After she died all I could do was sit and look at my stamping table. After months went by, I packed it all up and put it way in my art closet. This last July, it has been 3 years since my BEST friend had left me.

A few months later I found Polymer clay!! I love to play with the clay in my hands. I have made many pendants and earring from the clay. I have also made canes, which I sell all the time. I Even made a doll. I may make more dolls at a later time.

A couple of weeks ago, I saw a picture of some paper roses. They really intrigued me. So as always, I have spent a lot of time on the you tube watching how people make flowers. I decided I could incorporate the flowers into my jewelry. So that is where I stand.  I did join a couple of flower groups and I jumped in with both feet into a Christmas Stocking exchange. I made my 6 stockings and they we mailed to the lady running it. I am now waiting for my 6 stocking to arrive so I can see what my partners have made.

Funny how things spark new ideas and feelings. I find myself looking at all of my stamp stuff.  I think I am in love with paper again!  This week I am going to buy my first cricut expression 2 machine. I took a class last night on how to make roses. I am going to be attending another class in 2 weeks. I am excited!! Here is a picture of the stockings I made.

I also have made some butterflies out of flowers. Here is some pictures.

Oh, and I can't leave out the Christmas pins I made out of polymer clay.
Sorry the snow man and reindeer pictures are on their sides, I don't know how to fix that.  Most everything I make is for sale in my Artfire store.
