Happy Hump Day All!!!!
I am so shocked that everyday when I wake up, it is so much closer to the holidays....":):) I have been somewhat productive this week. I got an order for a Relay for Life Benefit this upcoming weekend. I have to do 6 tiles and 10 bracelets....Halfway done with the project today. Yesterday I got my husband to cut some wood for me. I started my Christmas Countdown Blocks, I have 5 sets ready to go for the Open House. I am also starting a new project...I want to give my sister-in-law something completely unique that I know she will love. It's a family blessing calendar. Intended for use in November but I have a feeling that she may leave it up all year. The concept is to write down something that you are thankful for everyday of the month and re read them from time to time. I will post pictures when I am all done. While doing the prep work for putting this project together, I came up with another idea. My 85- year old grandmother has a calendar she's been using for decades for every ones' birthdays. She keeps erasing the ages of them and adds another year...I am making her a perpetual calendar with months of coordinating scrapbook paper for both birthdays and anniversaries. At the beginning of each month, she will be able to take out the card from the envelope and see every one's birthday for that month......Pictures posted when I am done with that as well. Well, off the the cricut to do more cutting....Next week will be picture heavy I think;);)
Happy Crafting
