Frou Frou Gypsy in Combat Boots

Well, Life has been seriously getting in the way of my creativity. I have re-organized my craft space, that's been fun, and i have done a couple of things I have to show you. This is the card i made for DH for our 10th Anniversary. It was on Friday! We had a very low key evening. We are planning road trip this summer to celebrate, so we just ate at home and worked on our plans for that. the "traditional" gift for the 10th anniversary is tin or aluminum...so i used aluminum foil for his card! cute, isn't it? I used "grommets" to attach the foil to card stock. There are ten little "tabs" that pull out with things written on them, each one is decorated differently. Here's his "gift". I actually got him a RC helicopter too, but that was a few weeks ago. Here is a tin bucket from Target ($1), some candy and a $10 gift card for Starbucks! I have plans for the "bucket" if he abandons it. lol the other thing i have been working on i...

Last night i woke up and realized my DD was in bed with my DH and I. I had no recollection of her coming in or asking to be in our bed. "Where did you come from?" I groggily asked. "MOM," she answered, "I'm your KID!" insert me laughing hysterically and her pouting because it was NOT meant to be funny.

I am just loving these fairies! MY DH and i are going out tomorrow looking for some more. They are just too cute! I have a million ideas for them. Seriously...how cute is this hedgehog? THIS is the BIG one, there are three tiny little babies! I am definitely taking these on my road trip...Fairies on tour! I can set them up everywhere and photograph them on my vacation! Hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend! Maybe the EB (Easter Bunny) will bring me some more fairies! always cyndi

Here are a few more shots of my fairies! I just love this one, she is soooo 70s and groovy! My DH says she's the ABBA fairy! *Giggle* she's just so sparkly! I can't wait to keep playing with them and planning things for them. I need names for them too. Any suggestions for this one? always cyndi

sooooooooo I got a very cool package in the mail today from some friends of mine....NEW playmobil!!! yeeeeeeeeeeehaw! I have been all about the new (?) Fairy line, as well as the magic castle stuff and let me tell you it is just precious. I plan on taking a lot of photos with it, so stay tuned, this is just my first quick effort to do something since it is all so lovely and sparkly and i could just eat it up! always cyndi

Back at Christmas we let the kids make Gingerbread houses and they had so much fun with it that i just couldn't resist when i saw this kit at Wal-Mart. My DD, who is the one much more interested in cooking and crafts, assured me that she and our DS could share, but that they could decorate it "anyway we want." Her subtle way of saying, "you have to back off Mom and let US do it!" The day finally came and i was going to assemble the house prior to decorating, as the instructions direct. Let me just say that all those little doors and windows sure would be easier to decorate on a flat cookie rather than on the plane of a house, but whatever. As i am taking out the cookie parts, i realize that my roofs are cracked!!!! deep breath. No worries, a little "glue" will fix that. Then the peak of one of the side walls cracks, but i finally got the thing standing and all we had to do was wait a bit for it to dry...... It DOES come with this groovy little stand...
