Tommorrow ( Dec 1st) my  little girl  will be turning 14 yrs old ..Birthday_girl_jessie  Can you believe that ?  Wowzie. I really dont know  how  we are so blessed to  have such a tender hearted, loving, sweet  beautiful  girl.. She  may be   taller then me But she will always be my baby  girl .. I will be running to  get a couple last minute things for her birthday tommorrow  and then  wrapping them ..   Did you know Areopostale’ is one of the  only places she can get jeans  that are long enough  for her  long legs .. so yup you guessed it  she is  getting  a pair of jeans and  a few other things .. I  cant believe  how it seemed that my money went alot further  when she was  just a little girl  with toys .. Now its make-up/ clothes  just a few things  and  your over 50.00… oh well I guess  thats the  pains of my pocket book  when growing up .. another exciting day for  her is Tuesday when she gets her braces off ..  Will share the photo of her beautiful teeth  when that happens

A few days ago I  made these CD holders  I cased the idea from Cambria on SCS" Thanks Cambria"  here are her  directions  to make these  cute CD holders.. One sheet of cardstock…
Cut long ways at 5 1/8 (so you have a piece that is 11x 5 1/8) Score this piece at 2 1/2 and again at 7 1/5 Take the left over strip and cut it down to 7 1/8.. It is already the perfect height. Score on each end at 1 inch. This is the inside piece that keeps the CD from sliding out. Glue to the inside pocket.
The left over piece you can use to mat your main image.

Let_it_snow_cd_holders For mine I used  Regal rose  and  bashful blue with my ole’ favorite set " Frosty" I also used  the " Let it snow " from "Cold play"  and  then the back side I used" Riverting" with the little tiny snowman from the set " Year around fun II" ..    I also covered a blank  CD-R cd  and stamped that to match the set .. This cd  they can upload photos, or music  and then share it or keep it in the holder for themselves.. Let_it_snow_cd_holders_open_1  well  today I am hoping  to make all the placecards with  each item and their  price for my craft table .. I have  maybe 20 or so  things for sale  and then I will hopefully finish up  a few of my 5×7 frames ..

Christmas cards are already rolling in .. Started recieveing them  the day after Thanksgiving .. Talk about being on the ball  these girls  are  right on. I will post the ones I have recieved already  maybe  for tommorrows post   ..

I have  My Christmas cards  all made But  not being mailed out until  maybe next week ….  You know that craft show  has put everything else on the back burner  for now anyway .. I tell ya my life will seem  boring after this  Craft show .. which  will be a GOOD thing ..  I am sooo excited about the  show  But, now I  am getting those  feelings Like~  Did I do enough , Did I make to much, What if no one vists my tables .. I am sure ( at least I hope ) these are normal feelings I am having .. maybe its just  me being  alittle nervous  and excited all at the same time ..

still so much to do .. Oh yes I  was cleaning yesterday and found    cookie cutters ( 8 or so )  in a container  I had bought  awhile ago   dont quite remember where .. Its amazing what we find when we clean huh?  I decided  to  sell these also at the craft show ..Cookie_cutters_and_tags_front_and_back  But I added  tags to the  cookie cutters ..( which you can see on the backside of the container  with the SU! angel policy stamp hanging )  I made an assortment of 25 or so tags  a few of them I took the actual cookie cutter  and traced it out on whisper white  and  made a tag  out of it ..Cookie_cutters_and_tags_laying_out_1  not sure if it shows up in this photo but the cookie cutter tags are the  star, Tree, snowman .. the others are from holiday woodcuts , and I also stamped on  Avery labels  for those  quick tags  I hope it shows in the photo.. I used the oval scallope punch for the  label  on the front of container daubed with real red ink  and added red gingham  ribbon I also added a tag on the outside  just incase they wanted to give this to someone ..

Hope you have a Terrific Thursday  and Thanks for peeking  in will see you all tommorrow.

Until later … Happy Stampin!
