I really enjoy making things like this because I enjoy giving these things away. It's been awhile since I posted last, so I figured this would be a good place to start :)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a fry box candy holder I made for a co-workers birthday!</span><br />

It took me a few try's....ok, it really took several try's, but I finally got it figured out. I have to say, they turned out really cute :)</span><br />

So...while browsing around I found a nice surprise!

My best friend sent me over to her sister's page, <a href="http://www.rubysweetsboutique.com/">Ruby Sweets</a> and I was in awe. Her work is absolutley beautiful. I ordered a set of hair bows and won a set (from her facebook page) and when they got here, I can tell you the pictures don't do justice! After looking at them closely, I realized that it would actually be fairly easy to make the flower clips. So, I tried, and they turned out cute :) I took them to work and within about 30 minutes they were gone! I made more last night and decided I'd sell the next batch (about 10) and see if they still went as fast. They did. I only have 3 left lol. With help and advice from my wonderful husband, my fabulous best friend and her amazing sister Rhonda, at <a href="http://www.rubysweetsboutique.com/">Ruby Sweets</a>, I have decided I'm going to try and sell these (outside my office). <br />
If these flower hair clips are something you might be interested in, please let me know. There are several different styles, colors and sizes :)<br />

Since my Mom is no longer living, I try and make those that are in my life and have made the biggest impact, feel just as special as I would my Mom. <br />
My amazing Mother-in-Law has forever impacted my life! She has been the Mom that I've needed for the past 9 years. I honestly couldn't of picked a better Mother-in-Law if I would of hand-picked her myself. For Mother's Day I made her one of the message boards that I've shown a few posts down. She loved it :) <br />
For my best friend.....This woman has been amazing! She is the best friend EVERY girl should have. She gives honest, and heartfelt advice when needed....She is always there when you need to cry, vent, or laugh! She has the best sense of humor, the biggest heart and is an amazing mother. She has shown me that no matter the struggle....to NEVER give up! She'll tell you "It's ok to make mistakes, just don't let them take control of your life", and she couldn't be more correct! I really can't explain my true feelings for her....but she knows them, I'm sure! So...for her I made a woden decor of her Mom. Her mom too has passed! I was hoping to capture her mother's beauty in this, and so I made it simple! <br />
Here is a picture of it:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

When I went in for my regular check-up my doctor indicated that she wanted to do blood work to try and see what was going on. There were several things that could be going on. I wasn't too worried at that point because I didn't know. I wasn't stressing about it. Today, the doctor called me, at work, to tell me that I have Lupus. Are you kidding me? My best friend, and her mom both have lupus. Her mom passed away from complications of lupus settling in her heart. Ugggh. Are you sure that I have it? I listened very closely to things she was telling me, and thankfully my doctor was speaking in normal people terms and not some big doctor terminology! One of the test that they had did (testing inflammation level) indicated that it was slightly elevated...which makes sense because I don't have a lot of pain in my joints. But, that may be a bad thing too because if it's attacking my organs than I probably wouldn't feel a lot of pain, right? <br />
So....<br />
Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body (skin, joints, and/or organs inside the body). Chronic means that the signs and symptoms tend to last longer than six weeks and often for many years. In lupus, something goes wrong with your immune system, which is the part of the body that fights off viruses, bacteria, and germs ("foreign invaders," like the flu). Normally our immune system produces proteins called antibodies that protect the body from these invaders. Autoimmune means your immune system cannot tell the difference between these foreign invaders and your body’s healthy tissues ("auto" means "self") and creates autoantibodies that attack and destroy healthy tissue. These autoantibodies cause inflammation, pain, and damage in various parts of the body.<br />

I have an amazing life, wonderful family, great friends, and blessings everyday of the year! This year has brought many trials and tribulations, losses, and lessons but I've tried to find the good in it all. <br />
My hubby and my amazing kids are what I'm most thankful for. Although they may not always get along with each other, or they may not always behave, I'm still thankful for every one of them and couldn't imagine my life without them. My step-daughter is currently in England (her mom is in the military) and so being away from here this year has been hard, but we wanted to give her the opportunity to see parts of the world that most adults don't get to see. I'm so, so thankful for Skype. Without it, we would only be able to have a phone conversation but, with Skype we are able to have a video conversation. I'm so thankful for being loved. Not only is it awesome to be in love with such an amazing person who treats me like a princess but he is my best friend. I can tell him anything. I can be funny, serious, or goofy and he still loves me unconditionally. <br />
I'm so thankful for crafting...and having the ability to be able to. I've met <u>many, </u>unforgettable people along the way...and hope to meet a lot more :). I've learned so many techniques, and ideas from so many! <br />
So...for those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving...HAPPY THANKSGIVING. For those that don't...Happy Thursday :) No matter what we celebrate, we all have something to be thankful for...everyday!!</em>Scrappin' Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11086201920057034675noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523791363836000850.post-60471104848571588882010-11-22T12:35:00.000-08:002010-11-22T12:35:54.946-08:00Gearing up for Christmas...Bugaboo Challenge!<strong>This week our challenge is going to help us all get ready for Christmas!

As crafters we have so many choices to choose from....So, here are my entry's. <br />
The kids and I made these adorable little bags. They want to give them to their teachers and/or classmates. </strong><br />

I love it that my kids (and my nieces) get so involved with making cards and such with me! I just wish I had a bigger scrappin' place. I am so grateful that I have the corner of my bedroom to use, but it would be much nicer to have something a little bigger so that the kids could be involved more too.<br />
I've also been a bit discouraged about this whole blog thing. There are some blogs that I visit religiously..multiple times a day...and when I get on here I feel I'm talking to myself. I know that there probably aren't people that are even going to read most the blogs...so what's the point? Well, I try and remind myself that one day, I will have more than 1 follower lol. <br />
So, for now I am going to get going. Got shopping, card making, Christmas presents and cleaning to get done. <br />

I experienced a death in the family that was not only very unexpected but also very hard to deal with. No death is easy to handle, especially when it's a family member but this one was especially hard. My mom's youngest brother is mentally and physically handicapped. Growing up my mama always instilled in me that although he struggled with these different abilities, he was still my uncle and I needed to love him just as I would any other family member. So, that is what I have done my whole life. Uncle LeRoy never spoke a word to me, and never sat next to me for more than 10 minutes at a time (unless his head was being rubbed just like you would a small child). However, whenever I would show up at his house (he lived in a group home) you could see the happiness in his face and he would come grab my hand and place it on his head (for you to rub his head). My grandpa and my mom were the only members of the family that would visit him (as most didn't understand him) and after both of them passed, I made it more of a point to be there to visit with him more often. Some say that mentally handicap people don't understand you and don't know that your there to visit "them" but, I would have to disagree. I learned A LOT from my visits with Uncle LeRoy. He didn't have to worry about what bills would or wouldn't be paid with a paycheck, he didn't care if you were white, black, or hispanic. He didn't care how much you weighed or if you were pretty or not...however, Uncle LeRoy did have unconditional love. He always had a hug for you, and would smile so big when Wheel of Fortune or Jeopardy was on. If there was a show that he didn't like you would know...If you asked him what his favorite sport was, he would take you to his room and show you his plush football and baseball. Could he communicate like you and I? Nope, he sure couldn't, but that didn't make him less important...at least not to me.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>After Grandpa passed in 2004, "guardianship" of my Uncle was "given" to another Uncle. That Uncle thought so little of Uncle LeRoy and obviously others in the family that we were not notified of his passing until almost 2 weeks later. I could get into all the details but quite honestly it just brings out anger and hurt that I am trying so hard to deal with. Why not give me the chance to say goodbye? There was plenty of time. Why not give Uncle LeRoy the chance to pass with some family by his side? I could care less about will's, money and anything else that went along with Grandpa's passing...I just loved Uncle LeRoy unconditionally just like he loved me. To me he was NOT an animal that belonged in a cage as you said! I have to remember that he is no longer in pain and he is with the 2 people that loved and adored him the most...his mama (my grandma) and his sister (my mama). <br />
So, you are probably wondering how in the world I can be thankful for family right now...but I am. My family has helped me grieve all this. They have reminded me that LeRoy is so happy right now. They are helping me try and understand how someone can be so selfish to do this to someone...especially their own family members. That part I may never understand because I can't be so heartless...My mama and daddy raised me better than that. <br />
I am also thankful to my hubby and my friends for letting me cry, and then yell, and then cry some more. I wish this pain would go away but it truly helps to have those that will listen. And lastly, but certainly not least, I'm thankful for Uncle LeRoy. Although some didn't understand you...I did. Thank you for showing me how to appreciate the simple things in life. Thank you for loving me unconditionally and I'm so sorry I couldn't be with you on your last days. I'm so thankful for your nurses that were there, rubbing your head till the very end. </em></span>Scrappin' Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11086201920057034675noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523791363836000850.post-20753026653321511042010-11-03T14:02:00.000-07:002010-11-03T14:02:33.453-07:00Wedding ScrapbookI made this wedding scrapbook for two co-workers of mine. My manager asked me if I would make a scrapbook for her to give to them as a gift. Although, I wish I would of had more time to work on it, but I do have to admit that I really like the way it turned out. This is only my 2nd scrapbook that I have made out of chip-board. It was lots of fun to make for them :)<br />

I have many things in my life to be thankful for, and I am hoping after this, I will take some time at the end of each day to remind myself of all these things. Too often, in our busy, crazy lives we don't stop to reflect. I've had too many reminders in the past months that life is too short, there aren't enough days... it's important to be thankful for what you've got and to celebrate each day and live in the moment!<br />
So to start this off...Here are just some of what I'm thankful for:</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;"> My hubby</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;"> My children</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;"> My family (most of them)</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;"> My faith</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;"> Real friends</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;"> Crafting</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;"> My animals</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So, there's a start! I will continue to blog everyday about something (or many things) that I'm thankful for in that day. I encourage each of you to slow down and remember what all your thankful for :)</span></em><br />
