Merry Christmas

Happy Saturday!

I hope you are all well, and enjoying your summer.

I cannot believe that July is practically over, 

and that school will be starting for the kiddies so soon.

I have been busy, as I have a new job.

I need to get a routine established--because, oh my!--this is rough.

LOL

But I like my job--I am working in a bakery again.

I had worked in a bakery many years ago, 

when my boys were toddlers, when we lived in 

Montreal. Best job I ever had --besides

being a mom, of course! :)

I still need to establish a balance, 

but it will come. 

A new challenge is starting over

on the Hiding In My Craft Room blog today.

HIMCR #261 - Freestyle with a Twist!

Anything goes except it must be Christmas in 

keeping with our Christmas in July theme!

The sponsor is A Day for Daisies!

The giveaway is $12 gift certificate to A Day for Daisies!

How awesome is that??!

The design team were given the option

to choose an image from A Day for Daisies.

It was a tad difficult--so many 

awesome choices!

But I choose the Candy Elf C--

and here is what I created:

I used papers from My Mind's Eye--older collections.
The elf was colored with Distress Ink markers.
The sentiment is from a printable I had collected
from my attempt at December Daily (yeah, did not go so well...lol)
The enamel dots are from my stash; Michael's, I believe.

That is all for me for now.

Busy day, as it is my only day off, and

I have so much to get done--

but not that much, as my clan has been

helping me so much!

 I am a lucky gal.

Until next time, mes amies!

Be safe. Get crafty!

Merry Everything

Happy Saturday!!

WoW!

What a week!

I am so mixed up with the days--

let me say, it is rough with the kiddo out of school.

I thought yesterday was Wednesday, and

when I did realize it was Friday, 

I had to scramble to get my project done

for Hiding In My Craft Room.

Good grief!

And I knew time would be short for me to 

do my blog post, so, 

unfortunately I had to take a picture

of my project with it still being wet.

OYE!

LOL

This week, on the 

Hiding In My Craft Room blog, 

the challenge is:

HIMCR #257 - Christmas Colors!

Here is my project:

My bear is colored with

Prismacolor pencil crayons, 

and I used glitter glue on my bear's

hat and boots.

His bow is accented with puffy paint.

I also added a couple of puffy

stickers, just because. :)

I used papers from American Crafts, 

and the sentiment is from

Me And My Big Ideas.
