Special Order planners 1 of 2

I am working on a special for someone. She wants 10 of my planners from Manila Folders. I am making a few different ones and posting them here so she can chose the ones she likes best. The first picture is the front and the second is the insides. I still need to add the papers inside of each of them. Each folder also has a coordinating envelope inside. The little number stickers are so she can order by number :)

More to follow!!!!!

Special Order Planners-2 of 2

Here are more of the planners I am making

(the bottom one in this picture is #10...my fan was blowing the sign)

I will be making more of these for upcoming sales! I now have one booked for the end of September in addition to the three in November! I have to keep busy!!!

How time flies

Above 3 years and one month old. With her favorite cousin, who by the way is now 16! She loves this girl, and misses her terribly. She moved to Ohio in 2006 (this is taken at her house)

Above officially 3years old! Hugging a bear from "Mammy". Taken at the pool we belonged to (which is now closed)

And last, above, today, officially 9 years old. With her birthday breakfast of Chocolate Chip pancakes. (And I love that she isn't "too big" to wear, or eat off of, Princesses!)

Sigh....time flies just too quickly. :( Today we celebrated my daughter's 9th birthday. We didn't do anything exciting today (special breakfast, special lunch, some birthday balloons and cards), she has a big party planned on Sunday if it doesn't rain. A Carnival party we have been talking about since last year! We have carnival games planned, and prizes planned, and games built, and decorations are in the works. I am sure people think I am nuts...and maybe I am, but they are only little once. And I have to tell you this kid is amazing. I brought up a few suggestions for things for her party (making key chains for her party guests, and a Photo booth complete with props) and she was very excited at first, but then said "Mom I don't want you to waste the money, we don't have to do that for my party." She is such a sweetheart. And I love her to pieces (even on her bad days). But I just can't believe that little bundle I brought home from the hospital, the one that NEVER wanted to sleep at night time, who rarely cried, and melted my heart the first time our eyes met....she's 9 now. And I love her more then she will ever know. <3 <3 <3

Items for a craft sale - Travel coloring cases

Above are more girl coloring cases, and one open showing the markers. I am also making crayon versions of these. I took them to a recent sale and it was 103 degrees so we opted not to take any crayons along!

And above are the boys versions (although Mickey could go either way). All of these sold at my recent sale, but I will be making more. They yellow and green flower, as well as the turtle are all shapes I purchased, while the others are all hand drawn and then cut.

These travel cases are available for purchase for $5, please specify colors, and whether you'd like markers, crayons or colored pencils. When the paper tablets run out (50 sheets of paper included) they may be replaced with mini spiral notebooks. I will ship these items anywhere (purchaser pays all shipping costs.)

Items For a Craft sale - Travel Coloring cases

I enlisted my children's help for these. Here they are gluing the ends of the tablets that are going into the coloring cases I am making for the sales. (Inky our cat is keeping guard on the birds in the background)
Here is the first batch of tablets drying.

Here is the girly travel cases and an open case containing colored pencils.

The white flower is hand drawn, while the yellow ones in this photo were shapes that I purchased.

More items for craft sales - Key Fobs

Here are some photos of the most recent Key Fob wristlets I made for upcoming craft sales. They are priced at $5 a piece, or 2 for $8. More styles and colors to follow. All Key fobs are machine sewn for added durability. Every key fob includes a key ring (some are in photos without).

Key Fobs may be ordered and mailed to anywhere, purchaser responsible for shipping costs.

Coloring Case - Tie Dye style

So my daughter decided she'd like a Tie Dye version of the travel coloring case. She picked out a few different styles of Tie Dye felt and then we matched up some of the colors. She decided she wanted pink and yellow for the inside. We went with a plain white flower since there were so many colors on the front.

I think it came out cute! I am still having problems getting the lines on the inside straight. I have had to mark them and remark them, but I am getting better.
