A Personal Handcrafted Invitation

Every year on Christmas eve, my family gets together for a seafood dinner. Lobster, shrimp and crab! We all buy our own, and for our own children. There are also very dear friends of ours that joined us last year. They are also told that they may join us all the time, they didn't need a written invite! Well....apparently they did....so, I created one. Not only did I write it up and print it out on my computer, I made it into a wall hanging so that they can always remind themselves, that they are invited here no matter what!

Here it is.....

Old Pic!!!!

This picture is from an old stamp-a-stack in October! This pic was taken to show a friend of ours how much fun she was missing! When i tried to upload it the first time, somehow it got deleted! Well, today.....I found it on my picasa website, that i totally forgot about!!!!! So here you go ladies! To Mom and Pam, showing Patti how much fun she missed!!!!!

My Huge Weekend!

I would like to thank everyone who supported me this weekend! Very big weekend for me! Now, I'm very very exhausted!!!! lol!!!!

Friday was a workshop up in Salisbury Center! Wonderful woman, and little girls who all got excited about the Big Shot!!!! I have a feeling the husbands are not so thrilled with me! Sorry!



Saturday was the Marion Crouch Memorial/Newport Fireman Craft Fair! Not as many in attendance, at I didn't think so. Not very lucrative for me, but it was good to see all the people out and about looking for different gifts for Christmas! And of course, the big man himself...Santa Claus!!!!!



Sunday was the 3rd Annual Christmas Cramp Stamp Camp!
The pictures on the display board are those cards. Sorry, not easy to see.
8 women and 1 teen all creating the most beautiful christmas cards!!!
Thanks to my upline Kelly for creating these cards!!!
Everyone had a ball! And thanks to Lynette from The Blue Rose Restaurant on RT 28 Poland/Newport, for allowing us to use her dining room! If you ever want a great home cooked meal, that's the place to go!!!!

See you next time! Off to eat dinner, and think up the next big event!

Have Your Cake and Eat It Too!!

Here is a picture of a cake I made with an idea from another sudsoler/demonstrator...Jen Clendineng. I love her name, it's close to my maiden name....Clendenin! lol....













Ok....here it is.....

And you can "eat" this cake made of paper? Yes! Well, the inside! There is candy in every slice! As well as in some, there are coupons to receive extra hostess benefits if you book a party with me!!! This great cake will be at the West Canada Valley School Craft Fair tomorrow from 9-5!!!! So stop by and check it out! As well as lots of other things i'll have on display and for sale!

Oh and check this out....

...I made these the other day from retired chocolate chip note cards! The idea just came to me, as I was putting together a gift basket for a chinese auction. A friend that I work with asked if I could donate something, and when i heard it was to benefit the family of a friend of hers, I said sure. Why? Because her friend passes away at the age of 23 from Cystic Fibrosis...how sad, and so young.

Ok, before I cry,...it's time to continue getting ready for my huge weekend!!!

See you and thanks for stopping by!!!!
