handmade goodies

I realized over the holidays that when I say I love to create things, I am not lying. Once the holidays rolled around my head filled with ideas of gifts and decorations to make, if only there was time for it all! Here is a small glimpse into some of the things I made pictured below:


corn pillows: filled with corn and can be microwaved for hours of warmth, I think I made about 20. So I may have gotten a little carried away. But I was having fun!


stockings: all I could find in the stores was Hannah Montana or other Disney themed stockings (not quite my style). So I decided why not make some! So they are not quite perfect, and could barely hold what Santa left in them but they are unique and are definitely more my style.

I also made a hand painted sign for my sister-in-law (sadly not pictured) and a few doggie beds for the pup. Needless to say I had a lovely time and I am already making a list for next year.

sweet little thank you

I was asked by some good friends of my husband to make some thank yous for their family. They had some photos taken with me not to long ago so we used a picture from the session and a few choice words and came up with this sweet little card. I hope they like it as much as I do!

So it looks like I am finally finished with my Holiday Cards for this year. Feel free to take a look, if you want to see them larger just click on the photo. And if you like what you see, drop me a line and let me know which one you'd like to order. Each card is 5x7 and printed front and back on high quality art paper. It is possible to customize your card somewhat so just let me know what you are looking for and I can let you know the details. Just remember to get your orders in soon the deadline for ordering if you want them for Christmas is November 30th! Enjoy!
