Kreativ Blogger Award...WOW!~!

So, just when I thought no one ever paid attention to me or my blog (I truly use it for random rambling and to show MOM my projects - same as when I was 5)...I get the nicest post from one of the most creative people I know!!!! Ted, thank you so very much for such a "SWEET" gesture. (He liked my Grande Altered Hershey Bars)

I feel like I just won the academy awards or something...LOL... I am aww struck...(and that doesn't happen every day!!!!!)...I'd like to thank.....(ok ok just a joke...I will get on with it here...)

So now, I think I am supposed to list seven (7) of my favorite things/people:

1 - God

2 - My family...all of them...I love them so much.

4 - Sunshine

5 - Spare time (it is so precious and I don't seem to get much of it - EVER)

6 - Paid time off work

7 - Margaritas...oh yeah, and chocolate. :)

And now I'm supposed to nominate seven (7) Kreativ Bloggers of my own (and I assume I can't nominate the one that nominated me...cause you know he'd be on here - he is quite the crafter!)

I just had to share. She does such a wonderful job on everything that she does!! Go check out her BLOG(s)!!

Jammies!!!

First off, let me start by saying that I bought a sewing machine from my nieces MIL about 2 years ago and in the closet it has sat. I have NEVER sewn ANYTHING and had a heck of a time threading the machine when I finally did take it out a few days ago!
So...a kind soul sent me instructions on how to make jammies for my E a few weeks ago. I printed them out tonight and........well, I couldn't make heads or tails out of them. LOL...not really a direction follower here....so I tossed the instructions and below is what I came up with...(even used a fancy zig zag stitch on the bottom...lol...just don't turn it inside out as it is pretty ugly...) I found the CUTE material at J's on clearance and decided that I was going to tackle jammies for friends for their E's for Christmas...I think I was aiming too high tho - there is NO WAY I will get the number done that I want to get done. I will certainly try though!!!!!

Stampin' Up! retired set - Totally Cool - I FINALLY FOUND IT!!
