Newest Projects

It has been a while, and I have some other stamps I have made, but they are on my dad's computer. But these are some that I just made a couple of days ago.

Here is an owl stamp that I made for my friend's daughter's birthday. She loves all of my owl sketches, so I sketched her this one just for her.
I like snowmen, and I decided to make a stamp for some Christmas tags.
Here is my pumpkin stamp.
Another Christmas stamp. It is a Christmas tree, not a slice of cheese or pizza!!! :)

New Stamps

Well, I finally ordered new carving material, and I love it so much better than the other stuff. So yesterday I was carving for a little while.

I was out shopping yesterday, and my sister called me with some surprising news! She said that she went on to my Flickr and saw that I was featured in an article about carving stamps in one of the group blogs! I was so surprised and honored. Thank you craftershock!

Bella, Bella, Bella!

My sister's doll, Bella has been chosen as a final 5 in a softies contest! There were over 200 entries!!! So please go vote for her. She is under the Pink or Plaid category.

New Stamps

I got my stamp carving stuff last week, and I sketched all of the favorite animals of my children about a month ago, so I decided to carve them!

This is Rhett's favorite, the T-Rex.

Here is Kaylee's favorite, the horse.
At the time, Breyonna's favorite was an elephant. But I think that has changed to a dog now.
And Ethen is my little monkey, so appropriately this is his.
Here is just a new swirl-wave thingy.
And I don't know what this is, but I sketched it, and decided to carve it.

Baking, baking and more baking

This past Saturday I woke up early and baked a few batches of cookies for a car wash benefiting a friend.

My sister told me to take pictures early in the morning, so I did. And can I just say that these pictures are some of my best that I have ever taken! When it comes to the lighting, I mean. My kids will always take the cake on that.

Ahh... the snickerdoodle. Probably my husband's favorite cookie. He loves my recipe.--so can I take a moment right not to say just how wonderful my husband actually is? He eats anything I make whether or not I messed it up. But he does really like my cookies, I promise!--

And now for the funfetti cookies. My sister made them first, so I decided to take a crack at it. It is really easy. The recipe is on the side of the box. You omit the water, and add 2 eggs with 1/3 cup oil. They came out a little doughy, but everyone at the car wash loved them. Or they just didn't want to hurt my feelings. ;)
And finally, my devil's food chocolate chip-coconut cookies. I did the same with the cake mix, but added chocolate chips and sweetened flaked coconut. But I think it would have been much better if I had put in toasted almonds instead of coconut. Next time.

Finally, the cards are here! Well, just a few

I finally made some cards! I hope you like them.

I made this thank you card for my husband's mom. She gave us a gift certificate to Cold Stone, baby! Woohoo!!!

This thank you card for my husband's gramma. She sent him a gift card to get a huge cookie from Mrs Fields. Justin was so happy and ate to the point of tossing his cookies. Hee hee!
I made this card to send to my dearest friend in the world Heather, who lives in Texas
