Something to get Stuck on...video

Hello!! We survived the shopping mad craze! First...how was y'alls Thanskgiving???  We had a lovely one, grandkids all over the place, good food, family and friends! I loved it. Brandi's 1st Thanksgiving meal was a great success!!! She did everything perfect and added her own flavor to the food!! So proud of her!!
Krystal and I did the whole black friday thing this year!! for the first time ever!! and it's my LAST time. What a crazy mess that was...OMG. We started at midnight Thanksgiving and attempted to shop at Walmart stayed there for an hour or two. Krystal best described it as, "walking down a high school isle right as the bed rang and all the students were rushing to get to the next class!"  I went bck out at 4am to Micheals and Joanns, by myself came back home at 7am...then Sat Kat and I went back out for a few hours. Needless to say today Sunday Im grounded. Going to enjoy the quiet and scrap!  I get alot of questions about the type of glue I use on my projects, so last night Kat and I did this video on Glue! so hope you enjoy, I have a couple of othre tips in this video, like how to add a switch to your glue gun!!! 
If you all havent had a chance, go show my Kitty Kat some love by visiting her blog over at
KrystalsNight.blogspot.com  Much appreiated!!!

Oh the camera died on us, so we had to make this a 2fer. ((wink))

Now for the vids....

Like Mother, Like Daughter...

Is it..."like mother, like daughter, or like daughter like mother?" lol There is that piscen in me again, confusing huh? I think I had it right the first time, cause she is like me not vs, lol! Anyway....my kitty kat..better know as Krystal has her own blog now!!! Besides manning my "Coupon page" which I hope you ladies are taking advantage of, she is now hosting her own lil blog! lol She called it Krystals Night, since we tend to be creatures of the night!


Go visit her at http://www.krystalsnight.blogspot.com ! Also if you ladies have different coupon requests let her know she will try her best to post them.


Now for some inspiration, continueing in the simple and quick to make projects here is another card. Its simple but it looks so beautiful i think. I colored it with glitter gel inks so it sparkles really pretty and I made a matching evelope. I stamped with the words "thinking of you" on the inside which makes this card ideal for ANY occassion. I hope I can inspire you to create some cards.
Leave me a comment or two, and let me see what your up to!!

The holidays are almost here!!!

So once again the Holidays are almost here and I am NOT ready! Every year I promise up one side and down the other that I will prepare and be ready and I never am!!!  I try, but nope...LIFE has different plans for me. 
Over at my Ebay design team JAFDT - we are getting ready to do 12 days of Christmas.  That on its own is gonna keep me busy...I think I should go buy and extra coffee pot and have them both running!! lol

Ok now for some inspiration...With the dreaded or anticipated (depending on which side of the fence your standing) holidays approaching I thought some simple gift ideas would be nice. You know theres all those teachers and bus drivers and the butcher! that you appreciate but dont necessarily want to spend a fortune on. Here are some cute note cards. They can be made blank, just with some flowers or simple stamps, or maybe personalize them. I know I always need a quick card for that sudden event! lol  you know...LIFE! lol

These are now up for auction on my ebay account click HERE  you can also do a search by typing in JAFDT.

Quickie Onsie Kit

Hello all. I have been so busy trying to get things ready for Thanksgiving. Are you all ready? Brandi, my youngest wants to cook EVERYTHING this year and it's making me nervous! lol She wants no help and thinks she can have everything ready for our crew to enjoy. I said "sure" but now I'm a tad worried. lol She loves to cook and bake but an entire Thankgiving Feast????? Lord help us, I'll take pic and show you all how that turns out! lol   I created a mini onsie, a quickie onsie. Its really simple to make and I have  a kit with it. I figured with the fast pace the holidays bring, easy, quick and cute projects are a must. fI will try and have more quick and easy inpsirations as the days go along and maybe some kits to make it even easier for some of you!  


If you want to purchase this kit please click on the KITS FOR SALE tab! thanks!
