Look what I made yesterday ..  All Thanks to Amanda  you can find her directions to make your Christmas ornament HERE on her blog .. these   ornaments are fun and easy  BUT boy they use alot of stright pins  I made this one for my display table  at my craft fair ..I would love to make them  to sell But Man I got way to much going on as it is  so maybe next time ( if there is a next time )  I had to put an extra tie on the top of mine so I could get a good photo of it hanging there  since I  used alot of Organdy ribbon on mine  .. Maybe it just jazzs it up a tad bit more huh?  One thing I will say on making these  beautiful  ornaments is  cut and fold your paper 1st so  you can move right along  putting it together.. My hubby was amazed at it.  He kept telling me it looked like an artichoke .. MEN!… Go figure .. BUT The more I looked at it  the more it did look like an  artichoke .. see what planting a seed  does in my mind , Anyway I just love this   ornament .. sure wish I could make these  and sell them next week .. Maybe if I get extra time  between now and then I may squeeze a few in  ( Cross your fingers  I get some extra time  )

I was busy making  up those last 12  little santa wrappers WHEW got them done YAHOO! Since I finished those  and put them  away in my stash Hee! Hee! ( Boy do I have the stash of craft show goodies spred all over the place  YIKES!!)

Boy did I have fun  yesterday   I really think My  Stampin Groove is in  making cards  I just enjoy making cards the most .. it seems to go fast.. Not that I dont  enjoy maing all those NON card items BUT I  think after doing all these goodies for my craft show I think I really found out I love  making cards the BEST!

  I moved onto my  holder for notecards .. you use  2 reg size envelope  and cut one of them at the flap  line ( cut the flap right off  then with the other  envelope you apply adhesive on the backside of that flap  and slide it into the other envelope w/o the flap  TA~DA instant  Notecard holder .. on one side I put the 4 notecards and the other side I put the 4  notecard envelopes  then  wrap it all up in a pretty bow..  for this pack I made 2 cards  with cool carribbean  and 2 cards  in certainly cerely with the set called "Sweet shapes " I love the way it turned out  I may need an other one of these ..

I also got to make more beaded pens yesterday too But tried  my hand at using  designer paper for them  WOWZIE talk about a no BRAINER these were super fun and super dee duper fast to make  I want to make  a handful more of these  Just need to  find all my other designer paper  buried under everything ..
