Candy Bucket For Teacher




I made this tonight for one of my daughters teachers for her to take to school tomorrow. But the more I think about it I am wondering should I just wait and give it as a Christmas gift. What do you think? Should I wait and use it as a Christmas present? This was one of the buckets that I altered at Halloween for the girls to take trick or treating. The handle broke on one side but it's still usable. It's so tempting to keep this! Why is everything so tempting to keep for myself? LOL I filled it with candy canes, hersey kisses and suckers.

Calendar Project Oct/Nov



I finished the October and November calendar pages tonight. I messed up on October's numbers. (yikes) Oh well. It's homemade what can you expect? haha! I don't have the best hand writting to begin with and I was using a calligraphy pen. It's the thought that counts right? (wink) It's so tempting to keep this for myself. I'm sooo scared I'm going to mess up! There isn't any extra pages if I do! Let's hope for the best! I'm wondering if I should add eyelets to the holes? But I'm thinking if I do that it might mess it up and I dont want to take that chance! The tiny eyelets usually work right everytime but I'm not sure the small eyelets will be big enough. Atleast I have a month to decide that.


I hope EVERYONE had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! I sure did! I enjoyed my week off from work! It was HEAVENLY! I'm dreading going back tomorrow! But atleast I have Christmas to look forward too! Hopefully it will make the time pass by quickly!

Calendar




Here is the calendar that I've been working on for my MIL. It's going to be here christmas present this year. But it's really tempting to keep it for myself. :) I stamped Jan and Feb with some foam stamps that came in a Lisa B. Kit. It's the first time that I have used them and I really like them. I'm not quite finished with Feb. I want to add some more stuff to it b.c. I think it looks plain. I'm uploaded some photos now to be printed. Hopefully I'll finish it by Christmas. (wink)

Homemade Knife



My hubby is so talented! He made this knife last week to sale to one of his friends. He knapped the arrowhead and attached it to the deer antler. He made the case out of deer skin that he smoked himself. He is sooo talented when it comes to this stuff!! I think it's really cool!
