Happy New Year!

Well sorry for lack of posting but I've been busy and sick! Yes the stomach flu has hit the Fraser house...yuck! Today is the first day I feel I can eat something...maybe. I haven't yet but I am hoping to. We have plans to go to a really nice restaurant for dinner tonight - New Year's Eve, but I think we are going to cancel...not really worth spending the money if I am not 100%...so we are going to stay home and just watch movies and take it easy...

Here is a card I made and gave to my customer's with their order's this month. I saw this lovely idea on Dawn Griffith's website. Very easy idea...stamped the snowflake in clear emboss, on top of my greeting then rubbed my classic ink over top with a sponge...very pretty look and very quick card! The card size is also 3x3!

I didn't take a lot of pictures this Christmas but here is one of Buddy, our dog with his new toys...which he loved!

Happy New Year everyone! Stay safe and Healthy!   Lynda

PS. I have the last order going in Sunday night on the Holiday Mini - remember this is your last chance to get any of the stamp sets from that mini!! After January 3 they will be gone!!! Email me if you want to order anything! Lynda

Happy Holidays!

Just checking in and hope everyone had a great Christmas.  I know the kids definately did and it has been very busy since last Wednesday and today is really the first time I have been on the computer since then and it is kinda nice to just relax and take it easy with the family.  Today we are off to Desmond's hockey tournament for the next 3 days and Jalen has her gymnastics and dance in there too so it will still be busy but I don't have to worry about work till Mon, Jan 3rd...... Yippee!   Time to get ready and head out for the day.  So all the best for a Happy Healthy New Year!   Tammy  

Fabric Ornaments

Well we finally got all our BLOG BINGO winners! Seven in fact! We had 3 winners yesterday! Charlotte D, Rose V and Fiona A all won BLOG BINGO yesterday! Congratulations to the three of you! I will drop off your prizes very soon!!

It was as exciting 2 months for Tammy and I and we want to THANK all of you for participating in our Blog Bingo! It was so much fun and very successful for us and I think many of you enjoyed it too! We will definitely do something like this again, probably in the Spring! Of course the next exciting thing is Sale-a-bration and a NEW OCASSIONS MINI which some of you should have received or start receiving soon!! Which means the end of our Holiday Mini...so if there is anything in that Mini you want...you have until January 3rd to place your order with Tammy or Lynda. Then all that Mini stuff will be gone forever!!

Yesterday I wiped up some fabric ornaments - I have been dying to make these for months!! They were so easy to make...took me about 12 minutes per ornament! I've  made 6 so far. Just cut the shapes out using my Big Shot and sewed them on my sewing machine. Very simple!

Ok got to wrap and bake today!! And visit Rose and Johnny (one of my downline and her adorable son). Have a great day!! Lynda

Snowglobe Card!

We're back with a sample today...actually I've been quite busy lately and I will have many samples to show you over the next few days.

So that means only one more winner to go!! And as a BONUS we are going to give 3 BITS today, 4 BITS tomorrow and 4 each day until we have our final winner!

Thank You!

I am so grateful to all of you who generously donated toys regarding the Hamilton Spectator's Article last Saturday about the children in McMaster Children's Hospital who have no toys or very little toys Christmas morning. I was overwhelmed with your response and I will be dropping off today, about 4 boxes of gifts for babies, children, teens and even parents!! This is so amazing!! Thank You!!!   Lynda

The children, teens and adults will be very grateful - again thank you!

I have been making lots of tiles lately and my watercolour class last night also decorated tiles for their class. Here are some of the designs I created...

This is my favourite...LOL...they have so much attitude...or too much egg nog!  Have a great BUSY weekend - that last one before the BIG day!!   Lynda

We had our SECOND BINGO yesterday!! Again Judith S was our winner! Congratulations Judith. Judith won the Simply Sent Kit. Our next prize is "Of The Earth" Stamp Set! Good Luck!!

Festive Door Decorating Contest

Only 8 days left before the Big Guy in the Red suit, black boots and white beards arrives....  

I did most of my wrapping on Tuesday night and it took me 3 1/2 hours and I'm still not finished.....  don't start shopping early because you always forget what you bought and then you end up with way too much!  Just to let you know that I haven't even gotten into the closet as of yet to see what I still have to wrap but hopefully it's not too much.  I must stay this is the first year every that I have actually wrapped almost everything a week before the big day but this is only because I'm sick with a bad cold and I knew when I got home that day that the pj's were going on and I was staying indoors, so I thought I might as well wrap well I'm here and that's how it all began. 

My post today is for Lynda....  Our grad students here in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology have a Festive Door Decorating contest and every year we particiapate so here is a picture of our door this year.

Today's Bingo bits are ...... under the "B" – GREEN HOLLY and under the "G" – BROWN JINGLE BELL

 

  

3 Wise Owls?

BINGO!! We have our first BINGO!! Congratulations to Judith S who finally got Bingo yesterday! She has about 10 Bingo cards due to all the promotions she completed in October to get the Blog Bingo cards (prepaid for her classes on-line, submitted on-line orders etc), so it has paid off! Judith will be receiving a Scallop Edge Punch as her prize! And who knows she could be our next winner too with all those cards!! Speaking of next prize...it is a 'Simply Sent Card Elements Kit' - a complete kit to make 18 Christmas cards! I'm sure we will have a winner soon!! Remember we have 5 prizes total...so there still is lots more winning to come!!

Today's card was one of my Stamp and Stack cards that many did not enjoy making...LOL! Yes it was a finicky card and in fact I made 6 of them yesterday! I actually didn't find it that bad. Some had suggested using google eyes but I quickly realized that it wasn't possible due to the fact that google eyes move and you need them to stay FIXED for the effect of this card...

...as you can see. Anyhow Lisa B, I promise we won't use those tiny eyes again! This card was copied from a card I saw on our Demonstrator website. I love funny cards too, not just serious ones all the time...ok off to make tiles!! Have a great day!  Lynda

PS. Thanks to those who have been dropping off gifts at my house, for the children and teens at Hamilton Health Sciences!! More arrived this morning and we are on our 3 box!!! This is awesome! Thanks!!
