Hubby and the pastor search committee will be going this morning to see the pastor canidate they had dinner with him and his wife last night .. Just keep praying .. yesterday was a Craft show making day .. I made all my snowman poop bags ( so far 30 are done want to make 10 more at least ) and then I started making all those santa wrappers .. whew !! So much to do its scary.. No Kidding down to 3 weeks left I really need to get busy and start making everything .. BUMMER I ran out of Vintage black brads for my santa warppers eyes SO Mad I thought I had bought some BUT nope I need to order them asap.. and of course the demo site will be down today so I will order them Monday YIKIES!! cutting close for time thats for sure . Maybe my mom has a package I will ask her at church this morning .. ( crossing fingers )
Friday night my friend Harriet became a grandma again her new grandson Micheal Patrick weight 7lbs 7 ozs..

Yesterday I got to vist with Philly .. Philly was talking a while back and said something about a fundraiser her organization was doing the 1st weekend of Dec . I then asked Philly if she would like me to donate a basket of goodies for the event and she said she would love that .. so plans were set in motion. I had done a couple of these types of funrasiers before with this one Philly is helping me out In a big way .. she has bought some goodies also to add to the basket then at the last stampers club meeting she comes walking in with this big organizer on wheels this thing is awesome in size and she says here is the organizer I was telling you about to use as the basket for the fundraiser . WOWZIE!! who ever gets this will be lucky girl its really nice and lots of space which we both agreed to filled the inside with paper to bulid it up so we can lay everything on top she has also added to the basket the snowflurries set , 2 way glue pen , dazzling diamonds & bone folder and also 8 handmade cards .. I keep thinking of items to add to it so any more thoughts you can share I would love to hear them .. I added 2 past sell-a-bration sets, another stamp set which the name of is slipping my mind right now ( its right in front in the photo behind the santa wrapper ) a catalog , info on SU!, business cards, santa wrapper ( the baby one ) snowman , reindeer pop bags , a $10.00 GC, black ink pad, sponge, hot to dot wheel ,handmade cards .. here is what it looks like so far
.. Pretty nice if I do say so myself Hee! Hee! after Iget my winter minis in I will add one of those also to this basket.. here is a upclose photo of whats inside the top part
when I am finished I will wrap it all up really cute Hopfully she will raise a bunch of money and maybe my basket will help out .. To fill the bottom of this organizer I just recieved that SU order this past Friday and there was a small box just perfect for the very bottom of this cart then I used a little of the brown stuffing paper for the top filler over the box and TA-DA!! I love the catalog, and GC and info brochure on SU! in the front clear pocket pretty cute huh? I want them to see they will get a GC also But they wont know for how much .. since I placed it behind the catalog ..
I had seen Taylors kid card kits she was selling at her craft fair so I had to make a couple for mine too.. But I didnt use a tin I used a small cardboard box simluar to a pencil box But 1/2 the size I have made 2 so far.. I cased Taylors cause I loved hers so much .. and since I announcing at my craft fair that everthing is Made in the USA I needed to find inexpensive little crayons also MADE in the USA and I found them at Micheals for 69 cents by Rose art YAHOO! If I couldnt find crayons made in the USA for a reasonable price I wasnt going to sell these and just give them as a gift to a couple little people ..BUT I found those crayons YAHOO!
I made one boy one girl & this is the boy set Minus the crayons ( I didnt have them when I took this photo ) I found a little notepad that I covered and also added 4 color cards in 3×3 size also stamped the envelopes for them to color .. Thanks all goes to Taylor for this FAB-O idea . Thanks girlie if your reading this ( kiss Kiss)

WOW! You have been very busy! I love your baby card and candy wrappers. Yes, you are right we grandmothers do get over looked when our children have new babies. 🙂 That was very thoughtful of you. That is quite the basket that you have put together. I hope that you raise a lot of money with it. The person who ends up with it will certainly be very lucky.
Love those kid card kits what an awesome idea. I should make a few of them for my granddaughters for Christmas. Thank you for the idea. Oh and now I *have* to buy the baby stamp set. 🙂
