Merry Christmas!


Tink and Elf sitting in a tree KISSING!  Look where I found my Elf on the Shelf this morning.  I think Tinkerbell is his new girlfriend.  I wonder if Tink likes him back?  But I think Elf has the moves on Tink.  I made my gingerbread house with Grandmum.  We made it shiny.  It was fun and messy to make.  Merry Christmas!

December Fun!



December is a fun month.  It is Daddy's birthday.  I made him tennis ball cupcakes because he loves tennis.  These are Surprise Inside Cupcakes because there is a mini Snickers bar in the middle of each one!  They were delicious!  Uncle Dave and Papa also have birthdays soon, so these are all of the cards I made.  I also decorated Christmas cookies with my friend, Analia, when we had a play date together.  We had so much fun!

Christmas Cards

I made these Christmas cards all by myself without Mommy knowing.  One of these cards might be for you, so be good!  I hope you think they are cute.  Thank you to Regina for the Close to My Heart Christmas kit that I used to make these.  Merry Christmas!

Glass Pumpkins


My Uncle Matt takes glass classes at the Peter Patterson Glass Studio in Mundelein.  We got to go see him work at the studio.  He made the purple pumpkin.  Then Peter asked me if I wanted to do one, and I said, "Yes."  I made the blue pumpkin with Peter.  I was a little scared when they set me in the chair with the hot fire stick though.  Here are our beautiful pumpkins.  I love you Uncle Matt!  Thank you Peter!

Thank Whoo

I had a little incident at school recently.  I got (accidentally) pushed down at recess and landed on my face.  Mommy had to take me to the ER.  Luckily my nose was not broken, and I did not have a concussion.  All of my friends have been very thoughtful and supportive.  I wanted to make special thank you cards for all of my kind friends.  Brandon, Logan, and Regina all know how much I love owls.  They got me this adorable pillow and Close to My Heart owl stamps!  And my friend Matthew got me an owl purse.  I used their owl gifts as the idea for my thank you cards.  I love all of my friends and family!  Thank Whoo!

Happy Wedding and Happy Birthday!


I made this wedding card for my Great Uncle Dan and Great Aunt Karen who just got married.  I wanted to make a bird card.  I thought the swan was cute, especially with all of the glitter I added.  My Nana in Phoenix is turning 90!!!  I made this card of her dog Princess in her garden.  I love you Dan, Karen, and Nana!

More Special Birthdays


My Uncle Matt just bought a new house on the Fox River.  I had fun playing on his beach and collecting blue and gray seashells.  I guess they are river shells though.  I also made this card for my Grandmum's birthday.  I love Uncle Matt and Grandmum!  Happy Birthday!

Scrapbooking the Beach

I went to the Scrapbook Expo with Grandma Gay and Mommy.  Gay's friend Regina taught a scrapbooking class for Close to My Heart.  I went to it.  Regina taught me how to make these beach pages.  I made them all by myself!  It was fun!  Being with Regina and Gay is fun too!

Happy Birthday, Charlie!

Today I am going to Charlie's bowling birthday party, and I made him this doggy card.  I got the gems and dog stamps from the Scrapbook Expo in Saint Charles.  I went with Grandma Gay and Mommy.  It was really fun!  I also bought some new Stickles in Glam Pink.  Happy Birthday, Charlie!

Great Grandma's 91st Birthday

I made this card because I love my Great Grandma Pearl.  It is her 91st birthday.  I used quail stamps because Great Grandma loves birds.  I used my Big Juicy stamp pad so the birds could be different colors.  Happy Birthday Great Grandma!

My Birthday Invitation

This is my birthday invitation that I designed.  I am going to do an arts and crafts party.  It will be an owl theme.  Mommy cut all of the paper, but I did the rest.  I had to make 17 invitations.  It was fun.  Inside the card it says, "I hope OWL be seeing you at my arts and crafts birthday party.  It will be a HOOT!"  I used Denami Designs owl stamps, and we got the cupcake paper from Hobby Lobby.

Happy Birthday Jack!

     This is a card I designed for Jack.  He is in my class.  I made this card for his birthday party tomorrow at Gameworks.  I'm sure we're going to have fun.  These stamps are all from Denami Designs.  If you look closely, I put Crystal Lacquer on the cherry.  Grandma Gay and Grandpa John got me professional Stampin' Up markers.  I used them to color the card.

Made With Love



For Mommy's birthday and Mother's Day I made her a lot of special gifts.  At school we made stationery using our fingerprints.  Isn't it too cute?  On my own, I made an air freshener.  You fill it with good smelling hand sanitizer from Bath and Body Works, and it makes the room smell great.  I also made a candy dispenser for her craft room.  When you open the little door, candy comes out.  I love my mom!
