A BELATED HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!

I have been having major problems with our internet... I am really going through some tough 

blogging withdrawals...

it's not pretty people, not pretty!

Seriously, someone needs to mend this quickly so I can do all of the things I want to do on the blog.

I have so many ideas to share,

posts that I NEED to post.

I have been thinking of ways that I would change up things over here.

Post more, tutorials coming your way, lots of fun things on the horizon...

now I just need our router to cooperate!

As soon as it does, I want to show you some of the fun I have been having over here!

(Right now I am sitting in the public library in the young adult room, 

acting like a young adult,

 and whining because I miss all of my friends!)

Until this gets worked out these librarians can expect to see much more of me around here!

I don't let myself whine for too long though

sooooooo

on to happier things...

This was one of our presents from Hannah... 

another reason why her and I love/stalk

Pinterest!

She saw this idea on there and then proceeded to make three of them to give as presents!

I think it turned out beautifully, I love the little girl that Hannah painted, blowing bubbles

under a rainstorm of green and yellow.

Also, before Christmas I won a giveaway from Jeanine over at 

Okio B Designs

I received a box stuffed with crafting supplies and oh my gosh,

I cannot wait to show you some of the creations that come from

Jeanine's generosity!

She is not only generous in her giveaway but she give us doses of  inspiration on a daily basis... 

go and check her out,

 you will be so glad that you did!

Hannah, Max and I were all digging through the box, coming up with ideas for all of the goodies!

(Jeanine's picture, we tore the box open like wild animals-

I think we are lucky the mail lady will still deliver to our home!)

For instance Jeanine put a paper mache' dress form in the box

and I snagged it before the kids did, because a couple of years ago 

I made this silver platter assemblage and it sold on etsy,

 and I have been wanting one of my own for a while now

so THANK YOU Jeanine for contributing to our crafting habits!

I think my new one will be wearing some of the hand stamped ribbon that was in the prize box!

THANK YOU JEANINE!!! XOXO

You see, I have so much to share with you...

but the girls just flickered the lights over here and I think that must mean last call

or something, so I gotta say good by for now.

Please know that I'm thinking about you and wondering what you have been up to!

You can bet there will be a great game of catch-up the next time I can link up,

whether here at the library or hopefully in the comfort of my own home, where people

won't look at me weird when I laugh out loud or ooooh and ahhhh while

oogling all of your beautiful creations!

I hope you have a fabulous 2012, full of love, laughter and many blessings...

in other words...

may your cup spilleth over!

and when it does, may you have a super sized

 SHAMWOW 

to mop up the excess!!!

:)

love,

Theresa xoxoxoxoxoox
