Make this super-cute handcrafted banner for the holidays to hang over the mantle, doorway, or wherever you want. It also makes a great gift, of course. The pennants come pre-made for you (all hand sewed by me). All you have to do is add the flair. The frames can hold three different pictures or you can leave off the pictures and add more decorations. The cool thing about this project is that there are so many different ways to put it together. You can dress it up as much or as little as you want.

crazy busy.

As my four year old would tell me, "I'm busy, busy, busy!" 

I have several things on my plate right now. (Several things I just finished up.) If you are waiting on Christmas Kits and Card info, I should have that finished up this week. 

In the mean time, check out some of the craziness that has kept me so busy...

Conner's Halloween Party Invitations

Conner's School Auction (I did invitations, posters and programs among other things)

And, of course, HALLOWEEN!

(fyi - Conner didn't want to dress up. He informed us, "I don't want to be Darth Vader, I just want to be Conner.")

 

Me thinking out loud...I really want to re-vamp this blog. However, that may have to wait. And I need business cards & stickers for my kits. Ugh! So much to do, so little time! Off to work some more...
