Fairy Atc's

Here are some Cards I made for a fairy atc swap on

ATCLANE a yahoo group that I own. (Come on over and join us!)

I love how these cards turned out.

They are images I printed of the internet they were black and white and I water colored them and added all the good fun embellishments.

The first one is my favorite!!

Fun little Card

This is a card I made for my cousin when I didn't get his card sent in time.

I can't remember where this pattern came from either, I beleive someone shared it on one of the yahoo groups I'm on.

This can also be flipped up the other way and a bikini top made.

Wedding Card

Here is a card I made for my brother and his wife for their wedding.

Crud tho!I forgot where i got the pattern from. If anyone knows where this pattern came please leave it in the links section.

This was really easy to make and it's "different"

HOW THE HECK TO YOU MAKE A RECORD BOWL?

Ok so my cousin is a huge Elvis fan, well for Christmas last year I made her a record bowl and put various Elvis items in the bowl...however everyone else's bowls that I've seen came out way better then mine. Anyone got any tips for me?

Here is what I did.

I went to a thrift store and got them for like 25 cents I bought extra for mistakes.

I put the oven on a low temp and laid a metal bowl ontop of a flat cookie sheet.

Then I laid the record on the bowl letting it "melt" around the bowl.

Below is the cobbled up crap I came up with..anyone have any ideas or tips for me??

This is SO me!!!

For Christmas, I got 2 gifts that are SO me. Like "thee perfect gift" and ironically I got a great chuckle out of them!!

As soon as I opened these gifts it was like "She's good she KNOWS me!!"

I am a HUGE coffee drinker! Pretty much drink it from sun up to sun down.

And there are many mornings I get up and realize CRAP! I'm outta coffee...creamer..filters..etc...

Well my friend Staci made me a "emergency coffee basket". How awesome for me lol..

She filled it with creamer, and filters, and coffee samples and sugar packets and just lots of other things...everything a coffee lover needs for her coffee!! How funny and perfect is that??!!

From my Mother in Law I got a super cute pair of pj's! The pj pants have coffee cups and pots all over them!! And they are a really pretty teal color to boot!! When I opened these up I couldn't help but laugh because I think these jammies were made just for me lol..

I really love and cherish every gift I got, these are just the 2 gifts that screamed "me".

I hope you all got some great gifts too!

Snowman Paper Piecing

I used a pattern out of a toll painting book. I think he turned out cute.

It's hard to see the snowballs, but they're there and even glittered.

I made this for a swap in a scrapbook group.

Happy New Year!!

Ok with the prompt from my friend Teresa I'm going to list my New Years "resolutions"

This year I was going to try the whole "My resolution is to have no resolutions" but seriously??? is that possiable??? My mind keeps wondering to new things that I think "I want to fix that this year" So I don't think it's possiable to have no resolutions.

I want to wish you all a Happy New Year!!!!!!

Here is my resolutions for 2009....

Shawna's 2009 New Years Resolutions...

1* Quit smoking or at least cut WAY back

2*Spend more time with my boys, quality time. They are growing up before my very eyes and I'm not embracing it as much as I should or even could.

3*The dreaded lose some weight ...OYE

4*Work on my crafts and scrapbooks more and attempt to get ahead of the game

5* Get more organized...although this might be a hard one, I'm beginning to think I'm hopeless in this department :)

*6 Read more.

So there ya have it. Those are the things I'd like to accomplish in 2009.

Do you have your list made??
