Advent Swap - Day 9

This is all I can show you of today's swap! Today is my day so how it works is, I make 24 items of the same thing. 24 other people do the same. The 25th person dates hers for each day rather than all the same day. Then we all get one of hers instead of one of our own. Since there are still 15 days left, I don't want to show what I got as others have not seen it yet! The item I packaged for everyone was this

Crazy Cookies! Well the dry ingredients for crazy cookies. Some of the ladies got ingredients for brownies. Fun!

Until next time, happy stamping!

Day 8 is a candle with snowflakes from my good friend and fellow demonstrator Tania Green! Thanks Tania!

Advent Swap - Day 5

How super cute is this? It looks like a yummy cupcake! The tag says "Something sweet to warm your feet". So I think they are slippers! I didn't open it as it is sooooo cute and I don't want to ruin the cuteness of it cause you know I would never be able to put it back the way it was! This is from Dion Pacheco. Thanks Dion! How did you know my favourite colour is blue? LOL

Advent Exchange!

I participated in an advent exchange. My date was December 9. What I had to do was make 24 of the same things and put December 9 on it. Then we all got together and exchanged our goodies! So now I have 24 packages to open, one for each day of December! Above you can see them all together waiting patiently for their day to surprise me! I will share what is in each little package with you all!

I can't wait until December 1!

Until next time, happy stamping!

Final Craft Sale of the Year!

This weekend is the last craft sale I will be in this year! I hope to sell most of my inventory as I don't want to have to store it! LOL!

If you are in Guelph, Ontario, pop in to St. John's Elementary School on Victoria Rd between 9 and 1:30 and say hi! Take a look around, buy some stuff and have some lunch! And the big guy in red will be there at 10am!

I hope to see you there!

Until next time, happy stamping!

First Craft Sale of the Season...

Until next time, happy stamping!

A TIME TO REMEMBER....

In Flanders Fields

By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)

Canadian Army

In Flanders Fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.
