Christmas Challenges

Have you ever wondered why it is that we have turned Christmas (the Holiday Season) into the world's most stressful time of year? I wonder sometimes what the ratio is between the fun days and the stressed out days, especially for the ones in the family that plan the trips, make the purchases, do the wrapping, plan the menus and get the house ready!

It's been a few years since I've put up a tree, mainly because there is no one really to see it or to care and it seems like a whole lot of work for not much reason.  I do a minimal amount of decoration, hang the stockings and that is that! I actually love figuring what to get people, and for the most part, although my brother-in-law and I are the ones that push the hardest for wish lists, I'm usually the one that doesn't buy from theirs!  Call me the Christmas rebel, LOL!

So do tell, how special is Christmas or are the Holidays for you! How much do you decorate? How many people will surround you during the holidays! What is your biggest wish for the holidays? And no, you can't say world peace; we all want world peace!

Christmas/December Giveaways Drawing

Congratulations to the winner of my 100 blog subscribers prize, Janie in Florida!  If you're wondering why I'm so surprised it's because we are great friends and It is just a total shock that she would come out the winner out of the 100+comments that were in the box! I mispoke in the video.  Like everyone else, Janie has one week to contact me about her win, after which it will be pooled into my next big giveaway!

As for the Grand Prize winner, she is mammascrapper69.  Mamascrapper69 also has one week to contact me. Please also let me know which prize you want, the Cricut cartridges package or the Paper package. I'll also need your snail mail address.

Congratulations to both winners and as for the rest of you... the fun isn't quite over yet! Lets just see what happens over the next couple of days!

Christmas Giveaway is Now Closed!

Thanks to everyone who participated! I'll be taping the drawing in the next few minutes and uploading it first to my YouTube channel and then here! iM so excited to see who wins!!!

Christmas Card and Last Call for the Christmas Giveaway!

I made this card for the aunt of a friend of mine who loves cardinals. I used Distress Inks and a glossy cardinal sticker as well as the Winter Doves stapm from Stacey Stamps. I cleaned off the ink from the doves before actually stamping the image!

Also just a reminder that I'll be drawing the winner for my giveaway today (Dec 15th) at 9pm eastern!  I hope to get the goodies out before the weekend.  I'd say tomorrow, but as luck would have it we are expecting another storm, so it might be a couple of days before I can get to the post office! Good luck to one and all.  Remember, it was not enough to subscribe/follow my blog/YT channel, you also had to comment!

Good luck to one and all!!!

Christmas Craze and Giveway Update

Twas 14 days until Christmas and all through the house, every creature was stirring, yes even the mouse. The mother was tearing the hair from her head, knowing well that by Christmas her sanity would be shred! The children were acting all silly you know, looking out through the window and hoping for snow.  The father was hoisting the tree up the stairs, to be set by the window for the neighbors to share. And so they all waited for the most wondrous night, when Baby Jesus was born and the North Star shone bright!

OK, pretty lame, but I'm trying to find my Christmas spirit.  Have you seen it?

One more thing, only 4 days left to enter the December Giveaway! And for the record, you have to comment, not just subscribe! I've seen a lot of people added, especially on YouTube, but they don't always comment! Every comment you make between December 1 up until midnight on the 15th count as one entry for you! I guess I better make a video and make sure everyone knows!  Because I've reached 100 subscribers on my blog, I will be adding a second prize that only my Blog subscribers who leave a comment will be eligible for... what have you got to lose? Nothing!!! What is it? Maybe I'll tell you tomorrow after I post the coupons!

That's me with Santa and St Nick! I'm so little!

Another Christmas Mini Album

I posted this on YouTube a couple of days ago and thought I'd share it here too! I hope you enjoy it and that the recipient will fill it with Christmas pictures that they love! For those of you who don't know, you can enhance your viewing experience by changing the numbers to the left of the YouTube Logo in the viewer and you can even watch full screen by clicking on the 4 arrows to the left of the YouTube logo. Please do leave a comment if you enjoy it...and only if you enjoy it, LOL!

The Value of Friendships

Would you believe!  I just reached 100 subscribers! Thank you everyone for coming in to visit!  I hope that you will continue to stop by from time to time! To mark the event, I'm going to add a second prize to this month's giveaway!!! Stay tuned!

As I've watched the number of subscribers to my blog jump in the last few days, I've wondered how many will become real friends. Real friends are not always the people that you interact with everyday. Often, they are people that you used to live close to and that you have been separated from, as your life or theirs, required a move. There are times when you cannot keep up with them the way you would want to, for any number of reasons. I wonder if anyone else has, from time to time, withdrawn from a friend for a while, because it hurt too much to talk to them. The hurt of the move was too raw and the loneliness caused by it was chocking up all the oxygen in the air around you. I must admit that I've been there far too often over the last 12 years. I miss being able to hug the friends I've left behind, while feeling blessed to have made new friends where I live now.

Real friends also come via the Internet these days, much as they might have been far away pen pals in days gone by. I am blessed to have those kinds of friends. Some are newer, some have been close for many years. Sometimes, make that often, I wish I had the time and money to bring all these wonderful people who have befriended me, who have loved and supported me through thick and thin, together. I would put them in one big beautifully decorated room that reflected their beautiful souls and celebrate the wonderful gift they have given me, their friendship. Since I obviously can't do that, (though that will change if I win the 74 million powerball), my beloved friends will forever remain safely in the chambers of my heart. My blog is dedicated to those friends and here, on my blog, they will be hono(u)red always!

Mega December/Christmas Giveaway!

I hope that a lot of you will enter! The giveaway is open to all my M-C's Friendship Corner and YouTube subscribers, old and brand new, who comment on either my blog or my YouTube channel between December 1st and 15th! You  get one entry for each comment (only one comment per post allowed). You also get an entry for posting my giveaway to your blog/Facebook/Twitter/Forum  etc  and letting me know about it.

For those of you who can't view the video, here are a coupld of pictures!  You get the choice of either the Cricut package OR the Paper Package!  Enjoy!  I can't wait to see who enters and who wins!

Paper Package

OR

Cricut Package

Happy Thanksgiving -

Thanksgiving is such a wonderful holiday.  What could be better than getting together with your family and counting your blessings? I am so fortunate that my son, Shaun was able to join us in Northern Kentucky again this year.  There was a time when we celebrated every Thanksgiving with Hubby's family, but now that my mother-in-law lives away from a readily accessible airport, it is a lot more difficult. That is something else I am blessed with, a really nice set of in-laws.  Though I do wish that I lived within an easy comute of all my wonderful nieces and nephews! So I'd like to spend a big hug to all of them, here in the order that they came into my life, Michael, Melanie, Sebastien Stephane, Catherine, Christopher, Rachel, Lindsay, Zachary, Charlotte and Sweetpea, who is already loved and expected to make an appearance in May, know that I think of you and love you, despite

I am also truly blessed in my friends, the new, the old, the young, the cyber and the RL ones! And yes that includes you Shirley up in Ottawa, who I have sadly neglected recently! Miss you girlfriend! So to all of you that I hold dear, I hope that whether you are celebrating Thanksgiving today or not, that your life is as blessed as mine and that you cherish today for the love and the laughter that surrounds you!

To my brother and beloved sister-in-law Elisa, happy birthday!  I love you guys!

Busy Bee Buzzes in - Nov 21, 2010

I'm betting that all my crafty friends are seeing Christmas looming and going oh my gosh, I am so not ready!  I've been working like a crazy woman. I made another 18 pages yesterday, finished one of my Suncatcher albums to send off to my friend Janie, and also finished a special Christmas card for the aunt of a friend of mine. In addition, for some creative fun, I started a Christmas mini for a family member. Would you believe all that in 36 hours and I blogged the coupons for the week, did some shoping and had a nice lady come over to pick up the six 12x12 scrapbook pages she ordered from me! I think this qualifies as a pretty productive day! 

Below are some of the things I can show you without spilling the beans completely! By the way I spent from 11am to 4pm at Archivers, did some shopping and then scrapped at Scrap Paper Scissors from 5 to 8pm. Met some nice ladies at SPC! Thanks ladies if you are reading this for sharing your table.  I enjoyed getting to know you a little!

The Family Christmas layout uses a lot of papers from the My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Collection. This is actually a modified version of the original layout I made in September which my customer say and wanted a Christmas version of. The flowers are all hand made my yours truly.

Family Christmas 2 page Layout

The Deck the Hall and the Tis the Season layouts also include flowers that I've made. By the way the colors seem a little off to me, but maybe when I post them they will look OK! Well now, it is getting late and I'll do my best to post the card tomorrow, or at least take a picture before I mail it off!

Coupons for the Week of November 21 to 27, 2010

ARCHIVER'S
Would you believe I'm getting the ad emails, but not the coupons?  I was over there just yesterday scrapping, I also went to Scrap, Paper, Scissors and scrapped there for 3 hours from 5 to 8pm.  SPS is a very pretty shop and I thought I'd try scrapping there too.  Anyhow, while at Archiver's, Michelle and I talked and she reenterred my email as if it were new.  Hopefully that will fix my problem.  I'm afraid that unless I get an email forwarded, I won't be able to share!

Coupon Post - Week of November 7-14, 2010

Another week has come and gone and we are getting closer and closer to Christmas!  Have you started your wish list yet?  Last year I let my family know about Amazon.com's universal button.  It allows a person to add items from all sort of different websites to your Amazon wish list, which in turn allows family members to know what you really want and make sure that you don't get duplicates, or clothing in the wrong size.  Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/wishlist/get-button

What a Wonderful Crop!

Tina Rouse has done it again!  Dedicated to raising funds to help find a cure for Alzheimer's, Tina and her family and friends put together another great crop!  The crop, held yesterday at Ryle High School in Union Kentucky, was another huge success. 150 people prepaid to attend the crop! So, since Alzheimer's has also touched my family directly, I'd like to thank Tina and her helpers not just for myself, but on behalf on my brother Richard and his wife Elisa, whose mother Cécile Pescadore was one of the victims of this memory stealing disease.

150+ scrapbookers, that is a lot of paper in one room!

It was my privilege to be one of the sellers at the crop.  Thank goodness for my friend Celine!  She helped me set up and take care of the booth. Celine also created some lovely layouts for us to share with the many ladies who attended the crop. Here is Celine, with her coat on, ready to go home! It was pretty cold yesterday, but not that cold, LOL!  Celine a recent arrival from France, is still getting used to our weather!

Thank you Céline for your friendship and hard work!

Here is a view of our booth. I think we did an awesome job making it look presentable. 

We were worked hard to make it look presentable!

And yes for once, I have a picture of me to share!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth!

Thank you to my fellow sellers, you are all such a wonderful group of people and a special thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth!  Nina, thank you so much for all your help taking the whole booth down and helping me load everything back into the car! You made the end of the evening a special time! I truly had a wonderful day!

Cards I Made

I made all these cards, plus 3 2-page layouts and an ATC during my stay at the retreat! I made about 20 more since then.

Hope you like them!

Shabby Chic Mini Album

Wow, another post???? I've been working on these for a while now, and am learning how to share, LOL!This video is unedited, so I hope that you will enjoy it!




Hopefully the person who will get this one for Christmas, will not figure out that it is for her!

Scrapbook Retreat at Lake Cumberland

We had a truly magnificent time at the retreat in Lake Cumberland.  Kim was a thoughtful and kind hostess who made sure that everything was just right for us!

If you are interested in joining me and my buddies for a retreat in May or June, please do not hesitate to contact me! Right now I'm thinking of the last weekend in May for our next retreat! I'm sure we'll have a blast!



Click here to go directly to my friend Kim's website.

And the winner is...

Which would make our winner for this month Teela!  Teela, you have one week from today to get in touch with me and email me your address and your choice, will it be the cartridge or the $25 in scrapbook products?  Inquiring minds want to know!!!

First, I'm sorry that I'm a day late with posting the giveaway!  I admit it, I've had my mind on things in the real world of my life and not on updating the blog!  I do make sure that I get something posted on Sundays, no matter what though! It's been a bit of a difficult week, with a root canal on Monday!  Because of the damage that had been done by a previous dentist not removing all the decay, my primary care physician and dentist both felt I had to be on antibiotics for the root canal, cleaning and restoration!  Four tablets one hour before the appointment!  Seriously, it made me fuzzy and nauseous for at least three days! Sucked, LOL!

So this week, I'm helping out at the local YMCA, they are having their art week and I'm going to be doing a make and take in the lobby!  Because my project has to be doable by 4 to 99 year olds, I've chosen to do a small card. Both are meant to be notes to or from a little girl or boy, so there are two versions, one with butterflies and flowers and one with trucks and trains! They will get to use two stamps and play with glue and I so hope that we are going to have fun! BTW the flowers above are so pretty and are the inspiration for a new project I've got in mind!  I plan on using my YouTube channel a lot more in the future!

Well that's it for the mundane!  Now for the stuff that really interests you, LOL!

Coupon Post

Hi everyone!  First I'd like to thank Teela for her kind comments on last week's coupon post!  It is nice to know that this post is of use to someone, LOL!

I decided not to wait and post on Sunday as I usually do, especially since there are things of interest that come out these days and are only good during the weekend! That is especially true for those of you who have an Archiver's near you and for those who want to use the new Michael's coupons this weekend! I'll update as I receive new coupons and am near enough to my computer to do so!  Have a great week!

HOBBY LOBBY
We have a 40% off coupon this week and of course it is always a good idea to check out the weekly ad! For example, a lot of their jewelry is 50% off this week.  Great time to pick up some bling for your mini books or layouts or to make jewelry of course! For the seamstress out there, McCall patterns are $0.99 this week!  Awesome deal!!!

JOANNS
If you get these, please email me with a link to the ad and coupons.  I went back to them last week to re-register for their emailed coupon, but it could be another couple of weeks before they make it to my inbox!


MICHAELS
