Stubbon stain "remover"

Now you see it....

and now you don't.

Trying to justify that hefty price tag for an embroidery machine?

Well, here ya go.....

* Just look at the money I saved by not having to buy a new shirt *

A little thank you...

for Terri at Fresh Cut Flours.

I know giveaways take allot of time and energy - not to mention dollars.

Just my little way of saying thank you!

I hope everyone has a great weekend !

I 've been out of service, but....

I am now up and running again.

We had a storm on Saturday which knocked out our electricity.

Our electricity was back on late Saturday night, but unfortunately lighting hit the power box for our landline, internet and TV.

It's taken 5 days for someone to come out and replace the box.

(Not sure what happened to that 24 hour commitment)

Needless to say.... I was not a happy camper.

But...

~ On a happier note ~

I have been making "wrapping paper" and "gift tags" for Christmas gifts.

If you read my blog at all, you know how much I dislike spending my hard earned dollars on wrapping paper or gift bags that will be thrown away.

I ordered these tote bags from Oriental Trading Company and will be embroidering the recipient's name on each.

These totes measures 11" x 4 1/2" x 15 1/2" and are made from 600D polyester which is a bit thinner than I thought they would be, but they seem to be sturdy enough to hold several books with no problem.

What will go in them?

I haven't a clue as yet, but hey, my wrapping paper and name tags are ready to go!

Cookies, cookies and more cookies

Look what the postman delivered yesterday.

My winnings from Fresh Cut Flours.

Actually, there were a few more, but....

I am sure you already know the rest of that story, now don't you...

What detail.

Check out the little ladybugs on the flowers.

They arrived individually wrapped and heat sealed for freshness.

She even includes an ingredient label on the back.

Some of you may not know, but in Terri's life before cookies, she made beautiful handmade cards.

Check this one out she included in my goodie box..

I know you must be thinking...

Okay, these cookies are adorable, but how do they taste?

I am here to tell you....

Just as good as they look!

Thanks again Terri for my absolutely yummy, adorable cookies.

~ Still Scrapping ~

Are you ever in the mood to just sew something, but have nothing in particular in mind?

This is one of those projects.

I always have a little stack of old worn out blue jeans in my stash.

I made this tote out of a few pant legs.

The lining is made from fabric leftover from another project.

Front

Back

Really, the left side in not sewed "wonky" it's just the way it's sitting on the counter.

Honest.

Yet another, NO COST project using leftover fabric and recycled jeans.

What's on your list to recycle today?

~ Fresh Cut Flours ~

Remember this post ?

I have been wanting to taste those yummy little cookies since I first met

Terri

Finally.... I won that opportunity!

I won a box of themed cookies - my choice.

Oh, the pressure....

Should I choose these for a garden party...

maybe these for my next BBQ ?

What about these - for the princess I am :o)

I know, I have all girls - 2 daughters and a granddaughter, but aren't these cute?

Maybe something just for fun.

To keep my girly waistline - maybe a little fruit.

What would YOU choose?

I know what I want.

Can you guess?

I'm sure if you have ever visited Fresh Cut Flours you already know my choice.

Yep, you guessed right!

These adorable little ladybugs....

Aren't they cute?

Terri is very generous and has many giveaways on her blog.
Go check her out here.
You never know...
YOU could be her next winner!

Thanks Terri for a fun giveaway!

Another Taylor Made design

When I posted my Taylor Made bag a few days ago, Janine asked
where I purchased the pattern.
Unfortunately, I purchased the pattern so long ago I could not remember.
I then went on the search for her....and found it here.

While on my search, I came across this cute little Taylor Made Design.
