I am back! Did you miss me!?!?!

Hello!  I bet you thought I would NEVER post again!  It has been a long time between posting.  I have been very busy at the old house trying to get another bedroom and closet, sorted and packed, and stuff moved out of it so that the kids can move into it.  Some of Jenna's friends are coming on Sat. to move  things to my storage shed for me so I am trying to get as much done as possible.
I believe the modem went out on my desktop computer as I can't get on the internet with it.  I just finished downloading Kodak Easy Share software so the I can start uploading pictures.  I have a stack of things that I recently made to photograph and share with you.  I did quick snap a picture of my Christmas cards before they went out in the mail so you could see them.  This is a stamp set that Stampin' UP! sells in a rubber stamp and in a digital stamp.  It is called Beautiful Season.  I bought the digital stamps, resized them to make them larger and then printed them out.  I colored the chickadee with my watercolor crayons and a blender pen.   I really like the watercolor crayons a lot.  I think this is the best coloring product that SU offers.
I am going to head to the house soon to do some more packing.  I sure will be glad when it is all done.  Have a wonderful day!  Elaine

I have moved!

I am all moved into my new apartment and absolutely love it!  I have designated spaces for stamping, sewing, and the computer.  I bought a new recliner and I am loving it!  I had my first nap in it yesterday by accident.  I was sitting looking out the window and before I knew it, I had fallen asleep.  So far, the only thing I miss about the old house is being able to park right next to the door and haul things in.  My little red shopping cart is now getting a work out hauling things back and forth in and out of the apartment.  I still have a lot of work at the old house yet, as I need to get things packed upstairs, and put into storage, but I am very happy to be moved.  My new mailing address is PO Box 314, Friendship, WI 53934 if you would like to drop me a line!

Happy New Year!

I apologize for the lack of blog posts but I have not been crafting lately.  I have been busy sorting and packing as I will soon be moving into an apartment.  What a huge job, but I am very excited about it.  Jenna and her family will be moving into my home.  Antonio will stay in Milwaukee until he can find a job here.  What a happy exciting time in our lives!  I hope the New Year is treating you all well!  Love, Elaine

Antonio plays Santa!

Jenna called this morning and Mason and her had just got home from a breakfast Christmas party at Olive Garden.  It was mainly for the kids she said.  Antonio ended up being Santa Claus for it.  She said that he was practicing his "HO HO" last night, trying to do it so Mason wouldn't hear him and "give it away" today.  She said he was so funny to listen too!  I can just imagine, as Antonio is a very animated person so I am sure it was quite humorous.   I asked her if Mason recognized him in the Santa suit and she said no.  That he wasn't really interested in Santa.  That he wanted to get down right away and toddle around and meet all the babies and kids that were there.  He is very social!  She said she did get a few cute pictures of him on Santa's lap!  Edith, Jenna and Antonio's sister-in-law put this picture on face book, so I snagged it to show you.  This is Edith sitting with Santa in this photo.  Mason was excited when he got to see his Dad in his chef coat and he went toddling over to him.  Mason received a puzzle and a few little toys so he was tickled, and he fell asleep on the ride home as he had tired himself out!

I know it is has been a long "spell" since I have posted.  I spent two weeks in Milwaukee with the kids and had the flu while I was there along with everyone else!  I have been busy doing craft shows and this week I have my Tastefully Simple and crafts set up at Curves.  I have been crocheting up a storm for orders and haven't had time to take pictures, but it has been items that you have seen before, only I have been making things in certain colors for special orders.

I hope you all are enjoying the holiday season!  Love, Elaine
