A lazy Rainy Saturday and some things I have been making


Today here in the midwest it is rainy, chilly and windy! It would be perfect fall weather if the sun was shining! Haley had volleyball practice and a breakfast with the team this morning, so I got up and took her there. Came home and did a custom order that I had for Etsy and now... well now when I should really be getting my house in order I am instead browsing the net and writing this post.

My last post I told you of how my husband is getting laid off. That is still happening, but I am trying to have a more positive outlook on it. Perhaps it was just time for a new door to open and this is how God is telling us. I don't know, all I know is that there isn't anything I can do about it and I can just hope that he will show us the way to provide for our family and ourselves. I firmly believe that God won't bring us to it if he can't bring us through it. So, I have a little less gloomy outlook for our immediate future.

It is also making me happy that I have kept my hands busy this week creating things. I have finished my flowers for the Flower Swap at Your Paper Pantry . If you aren't a member of this website and you do any paper crafting at all, whether it be mixed media, art journaling, ATC's, scrapbooking or card making... You need to be a member of this website! The group of women and a few men are awesome! You pay a $12 fee per year (thats only $1 a month!!!) and you get to participate in great swaps and fun times! I couldn't recommend it enough!! I am going to do a video on my flowers on Monday so look for that on my you tube channel.

I wanted to show you a few things that I have made for my shop this week! I hope you will check out my store, you can click on the link in the left side bar at the top. It shows my recently listed creations.

The first on the list to show you are these Pinwheels. How much fun are these?? Really... wouldn't these look perfect on your holiday gift packages are added with a cute tag to your home baked goodies!


Then we have some Holiday Poinsettias! These are perfect to be festive and they won't poison your pets!

And lastly here are some cute tags for your holiday packages! Pair one of these with a pinwheel and some cute gift wrap and you have a perfectly wrapped present!!
I hope you guys all have a fabulous weekend!!
