My Favorite Papercrafts of the Year

It's the end of the year and for the last year or two I've been joining in with  Simply Ellibelle for her favorite papercrafts of the year link up.  I love looking back at all the papercrafts I've created and seeing which ones are favorites.  In my post I've included both cards and scrapbook pages.  It seems like I was quite creative this year! 

























I hope you'll hop on over and see what some of the other co-hosts are sharing!

    You are so talented. My aunt is a Stampin' Up rep, and the cards she sends (as well as my mom and Gma's) are ones that I save. They are always so thoughtful and pretty.

    Amazing projects! Cards and layouts! I am particularly fond of the HP layout! Where did you get those die cuts? Happy New Year!

      I found all the Harry Potter things on the Cricut Design Space website and cut/pieced them together myself.

    Your wonderful scrapbook pages always make me wish I never stopped scrapbooking, they are such a beautiful way to document highlights of the year! These are all wonderful and you made such beautiful cards too! All so unique. The Easter card might be my favorite of your cards but it's so hard to choose!
    So happy you joined in again this year!!
    Happy New Year!!

    Woah, your creativity with both cards and scrapbooking is OTT wonderful! Love it all! I got into cards after my kids refused to have photos taken of them and I do miss it. Such a creative way to remember the moments we so often forget. It is great to participate in this blog hop with you! Happy New Year!

    Joanne, these are all amazing! I went to a scrapbooking (sales) party many years ago. It was so overwhelming to me. I ended up buying something and gave it to my friend who did scrapbook.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mainly through

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the white

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my boys were youn
