Today is my birthday!

Yup it's official....today is my birthday! Now if you were Cameron you'd say I was only 26 (I love that boy!) Cheyenne thinks I am 29 (love her too!) but....my birth certificate does't lie! That's right today I am 25! Okay stop laughing...it wasn't that funny! I am officially four decades old today. Whoo hoo! (insert unexcited face here). And what do you ask is planned for today?? Work first of all, and then my loving husband has something extra special planned for me....a visit to the dentist to have 4 fillings replaced. ISN'T THAT SWEET??? Yay me!

Marines of the Year 2012

I know this isnt craft related, but I had to share with you! Both my mom and her twin brother served in the United States Marine Corps when they were young. This year they were both surprised to find out that they both were awarded the Marine of the Year award at the Marine Corps ball.(that's them at the ball in the top picture) The funny thing was that I knew about it at least 2 months ahead of time. My aunt called me to ask if I was able to go to the ball. I wasn't (St Sophia's sale was that night) but I called my brother Duane, who also served in the Marine Corps. He and his wife came to the ball. The whole time my mom kept saying "I think Gene is getting the Marine of the Year award" and I was bursting not to tell her 'SO ARE YOU!' She was absolutely shocked when they called her name! I wish I was there to see her reaction! So there you have it twin Marines of the Year Valley Forge Detatchment 2012. Oh and they each were awarded with an engraved Marine Corps sword. I believe that is mom's in the photo. They also went to have their photos taken together in their Marine Corps uniforms.

Items for a craft fair - Framed Art

Oops I found another version of the framed art. This one features a brighter red background paper.

Visitation BVM Craft Fair November 16th and 17th 2012

Here is my set up at Visitation this year! I love this event! The folks who put it all together are fabulous, and I was happy to be invited back for my second year. They put me right in front of the stage again this year, and it was fun to have a good view of everything Tis year they had a Zep war between two local resturants. When you ordered a Zep you got two halves, one from one returant, one from the other. Each one had a color coded fork, and you chose your favorite and then deposited the correct fork into a bin marked with that color. At the end of the event they figured out the winner. Cheyenne loves this event and this year she volunteered to help out a friend's daughter at some of the game booths. Cameron also had fun riding on the carts they used to push around tables and chairs. :-) This is a friend of mine's parish, and they just love both Judy and her husband John. :-) Cheyenne also enjoyed helping set up and take down the tree that is on the stage behind my table. Santa comes to that stage on Saturday. :-)

Items for a Craft Sale - Christmas Framed Art

I got this idea from Jan Tink from her blog. It was a wonderful idea and I just switched it up and used items I had on hand. These are three of the versions I had available. I also did a green in the sparkly green snowflake paper (like the red one shown above) but I guess I didnt get a picture of that one. As an added bonus, I kept the mats in the frame so that when Christmas was over, if they wanted to, they could just flip the mat to the front, and wouldn't have to worry about storing the frames all year.
