Birthday Times

Yesterday was a full day! Our island does a Mullet Smoke Off each year and we had to go over and get some...I love smoked mullet! Then after that we went down to my sister's for my nephew's birthday, I can't believe how fast they grow up:) Chance is becoming such a nice young man, and so polite.















This is the card that I made for him, and I was going to bring Jim's hat down for him to wear, and I forgot both! Then we had bought a remote helicopter for him and his mom and dad had just bought him one! But we had a great time with family.

The image in the card is from Sparkle n Sprinkle and I colored him with Prismacolor Pencils and gamsol. Then I used Dimensional glue and flocking for the mane. It dried puffed up and is soft like a real mane. I used the layout from Splitcoast this week.





This picture is one from a couple weeks back. After we left the Scrappin' Sistahs Retreat we stopped at my sisters for a bit to say hi, since she lives only a mile off the road. We got Austin to take our picture.

Thanks for stopping by,
Hugs and Smiles,
Jill

Halloween & Christmas

Everyone likes to make ornaments at Christmas time, and I always like making these glitter ornaments. I made a video on how to make them, so take a look at it.

For Halloween Lexy went Trick or Treating with her cousins, Lexy was a hippee which totally fits her:)

Flamingo Fun

Last week on of the ladies at church, who was up in NC all summer came back, she said she had something for me. It was this cute flamingo. She said she was at a store shopping with a friend and saw this and thought of me. It made me feel so special that she thought of little ole' me when she had been gone all summer. It was funny because I had just told my sister I needed to find a little flamingo for my van. So this was perfect. It even comes with my own star I get to name!! I made the thank you card to match.

Jim and I were invited to a Halloween Party and these are are costumes. You can't see it but I have a cupcake apron on. I was a Cupcake Diva, and Jim started out to be the Cupcake Boy (the hat) because he is a halloween baby, but then it morphed to a Hippee Cupcake boy, then kinda like an Elton John with the glasses added!
