Birthday card

This is a birthday card I made for my Manager, Mrs. Janet Powers, she loves sea shells.

Happy Birthday Janet Powers

I copied and cut out a several different colors shells then glued a few together. Before the glue dried I started shaping the card stock, giving the shell its 3 D needed. Later when the glue dried I dry embossed the shell giving it more detail. And of course I used glitter to give it some shine and tied ribbons between the green and white card stock. Added a few flowers to the bottom corners of the card using small sea shells glued together forming the petals. And on the end of the ribbons I glued on the cutes smallest sea shells. The sea shell inside the shell is a secret, you cannot see it from this picture but it has its own Pearl.  Ok it’s not a real Pearl! I made that too.

This is the picture sample I used,

Cherries are one of the richest known sources of melatonin, the sleep hormone that recent studies have shown can also help reverse the effects of aging, while bananas contain loads of magnesium, a calming mineral. Lastly, soy milk is high in tryptophan, the sleep-inducing amino acid. Sweet dreams!

Bird Cookie Treats

Bird Cookie Treats, I Found this file a while back but I can not find the real sender to thank them for a great little animal gift tutorial. Now would be  good time to make this easy little treat for the little birds who are looking for food on these cold winter days.

You will need:

4 cups bird seed
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons of corn syrup

mix flour, water, and syrup together in a measuring cup.

Then added that to the bowl of bird seed.
Stir well coating all of the bird seed.

1. Press bird seed mixture into the heart shape or what ever U have on hand. But make sure you place on a wax paper. And spray the cutter with Pam (again use what you have) Press spoonfuls of the mixture into the heart shape with the back of the spoon. Place a straw in where ever you want a hole to hang from. Then lift up and off the cookie cutter carefully. Spraying the cookie cutter with cooking spray makes it slide right off.

To dry them, place the bird cookies in the oven on the lowest setting(170 degrees) for an hour. Flipping them over about half way through, or let them air dry.

Many thanks for to the person(s) who wrote this up.

Craft Fairs are fun

So I completed my second craft fair and I worked it alone! Woo I was so worried that I could not handle it but I did well. The hardest part of doing a craft fair by yourself is that you have to find the correct location and then carry everything and un-pack and at the end of the event pack it all up again, ekkk. The last part was a pain for me. Going back and forth to the car is not fun but woke me up so I was wide awake and ready for the crowds. Hahaha well that did not happen often enough, but I’m not really complaining. It was all in all a nice educational adventure that I will not forget. Once again I was blessed with meeting good working neighbors. It makes the day go by so much faster when you meeting some very nice people two of whom where once upon a time Northerners from Illinois my old home town. My good neighbors were Juju Beads, Tupperware and Thirty-One Bags. Was invited to 2 more events, one is right around the corner which I turned down right off the bat, and the other will be in March, so I have time to get new inventory and get ready for it.    I also did a bit of holiday shopping for the grandkids, but now I am so tired and want to rest.
