Back in the Saddle again!!!

yeeehaaaw!!

Boy, it stinks not having your 'puter~ I had to just get on and get off of hub's laptop..so no photos, no Etsy listings and such other non sense~

I think I posted this awhile back:

This little shrine is a good size..And I Loved that do-dad I soldered to the top of the box..but then it gave me fits..it was top heavy..had a tendency to lean forward..

But now that is solved and I'm really happy with it. I'm going to put it on Etsy, unless your interested, drop me a note if you are..

These are some new charms that are going on Etsy:

I just keep using this image..I love it...

This one is an old piece of wall paper gifted to me from a Paper Cowgirl friend:

It's one of those thick glass tiles. Love the weight of it, I'll be adding a "S" hook to it, so it can be attached to your favorite chunky necklace..

Did I show you these????

These glass hearts are going to be used in my upcoming class at the Crafty Scrapper!!! Stay tuned for that :)

Happy Tuesday!!!

Etsy adds

I finally set down and added some stuff to my poor neglected Etsy shop..Ever since Vacation, I've not added anything new..

Love this sassy one:

Isn't that a good one?? Thanks to Becky for handing that saying off to me~

Then these fellows have been in the Etsy Suitcase long enough and they are going as a lot of 3:
I've added more..but you'll have to go see for yourself...

Thanks to all for the recent purchases!

Thanks to the ladies on Tuesday at the Crafty Scrapper. We had a 101 class, and a Chubby Charms class..but I forgot my camera~ so no photos..bad me~ sorry.. But those ladies rocked on their soldering, they are going to put us out of the jewelry biz!..AND it was PAPER COWGIRL day!!! I had 2 in the 101 class that visited us in June and 3 in the CC class!! Yea!!

Wednesday! Already??!!

Our Chirstmas shopping is finished !!! yea!!! I'm proud to say that none of it went on a charge card! Now to sit back and just enjoy the next few days..


Last night Hub was in the shop working on the DD's table. I wanted to do some soldering, so I came up with these two charms:

I love, this image of the vintage kids, they were in cowboy/cowgirl costumes and I had printed it off a while back and it's just been taking up room on the table..so thought I'd use it..as I was working on it this came in mind for the backside:

You know, that can relate to a hubby, or friend or brother.. I just thought it fit..

Then this little bit of goodness emerged:

This one is a fat chunky one. The wing is actually a charm, I took the jumpring off of. Placed it on velvet ribbon and it just jumps out at ya~

The back of this one is another print that's been sitting on the table..I printed off various sizes of this and love how this tiny one turned out..this charm is only 1 1/2 X 1 inch, so that is why it's so chunky..I've listed both on my Etsy shop.

Thank you all for your comments this year and for your prayers and understanding and friendships! Hugs to you all!

Merry Christmas to you!!

Glue, Glitter and fun

At our house the question of the day is: "What are we making today, Nana?" when the grands are over..We had the oldest grand from Tday until yesterday..so we made alot of things, most all Christmas themed...



I've been over to Joli Paquet looking for ideas to make...you need to pop over there if you get a chance there are lots of ideas from talented gals.. So, when I answered: "A snowman hat." to that question, I received a funny look...so I pulled up the blog and gave her a peek at it..she loved the idea..







We got out handmade papers, glitter, containers and scissors, etc...and went to work:



She picked out the smaller container to make her hat from...





Hub was a bit upset that we were working on the NEW table, with glitter and glue and such:

But, I put down alot of paper to protect it and there were no incidents....

She loved using the glass glitter..

Here is the end result and the proud artist:

Here are both of ours:

We made memories and a pretty Christmas decoration that will work thru January...

I'm a member of Etsy Texas Crafters, you ought to go over there and see all the goodies that were listed with our group..some great talents!

I'm offering free shipping on all my House Charms in my Etsy shop, until December 6th...so if your looking for a little something different that might be the ticket! Thanks to all of you that have purchased goodies from me, I really appricate it and hope you enjoy it

I hope your first week of December is a good one, I started mine off at the Dr.'s giving blood for lab tests..nothing serious, thank goodness..
