Can't want for Thanksgiving

Well, Almost a month before Thanksgiving. This year we are having My Family over. It's been a really long time since most of them have come to visit. I have been so busy getting the house ready. Why does it take someone to visit to fix everything . lol. Hubby has painted the walls and floor in the whole Basement. I'm decluttering the whole upstairs and new curtains in every room.

Also I decide to make the small Michael s boxes for each Family. I cover them with fall style paper and ordered some key rings from Ebay to put in the boxes. I also got Aprons from Joann's Fabrics. Again one per Family. I have to get 2 more for add'l Families coming. I didn't think to make one for myself so I need 3 more and they are sold out in the stores. Don't want to order online and pay full price. Will wait to see if the store get more , I will up load a video when they are complete. Please see video for my boxes.

Recent Projects

 Over the summer my SIL Ivette turn 50. Her Husband Wayne gave her a 50th Birthday Party. My Sis Betty, Her Mom Esperanza , Joshua, Christy and My Hubby Yogi helped to make these Mini's for the Guest. It was a lot of work but very much worth it. My Bags were cut on the Circuit. Used Tim;s paper. Also cut the umbrella man and the mini was Baroque die for the book.

I really want to try and keep up with my Blog. I have been working on projects for my Family. Some of them are spending Thanksgiving with Me here in PA. I'm so excited. I have created boxes and i"m working on aprons for the Kitchen helpers. I will try to keep posting my projects. Need to start my Christmas card soon.

Some of my last projects

I want to share some of the projects I have been working on. I made the first Frame for a Facebook Friend and made the other 5 for my Sisters and Nieces. I miss my Family so much. They all live in NYC. So I don't get to see them much. I really enjoy making things for them.

I made this for my living room. I used different papers. SEI, Anne Griffen and Tim Holtz. I painted the Canvas a Deep Brown. The frames are Prima and I made the two flowers using Tim Holtz flower die. The Brown one is Canvas and the other is Metallic paper with lace. Used a Tim Holtz clock face for center.

Hi

I found this Blog today with an Interview of Tim Holtz. Love it has so much infomation on him and links to really cool sites. Love that he shares how he started in the Scrapbooking Industry. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did

This is my first Canvas layout. I so enjoyed making it. I think one reason is because I got to look at my Parents the whole time working on it. I really do miss them. I can't wait to do more.

Hi,
I want to share my Tim Holtz class pictures taken on Saturday June 12, 2010. My Sister In law Ivette made awesome tee shirts for the all the Ladies that attended the class together. It took me almost 12 hours in two days to get to Buffalo, NY for the class. It was so worth it. I love Tim Holtz and the class was more then I could ever expect. I would recommend everyone to take at least one of his classes.
