some little elves have been playing in my room (while I haven't felt well) here is Olivia's creations, a music sign for her dad's guitar room and a layout for her scrapbook of my mom and her. she did a great job.

Here Emilee did some locker photos for her locker at school (her favorite pics) my mom and her, Emilee and Dylan (my twin brothers son), Uncle Peter(my twin) and Emilee. We had a great time in Maine. Emilee you did a wonderful job.

Making Paper Flowers

The other day I was on Leah's Desktop Dictionary blog http://leahfung.typepad.com/ watching the newest video and Donna was sharing her new layered paper flowers that she Rocks at making. (I have already made her single flowers) Donna bumped up her creativity with layers of paper to make the most Beautiful paper flowers.

Here is my first attempt at the layer flowers. I love them...can't wait to make more and play with the Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist some more.

Blog Update

Wow October is half way through and what a busy month it has been, girls are busy with school, homework, soccer, officer meetings plus their friends and face book, plus church events. Life is full but blessed as I say it even though times are among us it's what you make of it that counts. Spending time with friends and family need to be the most important thing of all. Have you spent time with friends or family lately? Invite them over for some homemade apple crisp and a cup of coffee and sit and visit or play a game.

Our family love family movie nights we cook supper together watch a movie and just enjoy each others company. We have been doing that since Lee and I were first married. It started out as our date night then when the girls started to come along we made it family night in, and we really enjoy it. I know I will miss it when the girls are grown up and moved away, but I know I will put a family movie night party together with their families to join us. That it something to look forward to.

Last night I had my Close To My Heart Gathering at my home and we had a blast, ladies laughing, embossing powder flying!! My camera wasn't working so I didn't get any pictures. sorry. But we did have lots of fun....

This week is a slow week at the Baker home, soccer comes to a close and Lee is working his regular schedule and Olivia well is the same busy, but this mom can catch her breath, maybe sit and watch a girl chick flick (has my man calls them) and create something just for me, I have been very busy putting my kits together for my scrapbook frame workshop in November which is coming soon.
And by the way we had a snow storm last week lovely it didn't last but it was surely cold and beautiful, I made sure to stay home and enjoy it coming down in my studio room.

Here is our back yard last week our first snowstorm of 2009my new car looks cold in the snow

love this pic of our tree in our front side yard, beautiful!!

My daughter Olivia created these two cards, love the sun face. Great job...

Here are a couple of fall cards I made a little while ago, love the Orange stickles glitter glue from Tim Holtz. adds such a great touch of bling.

Here is a scarf I made this past weekend on Sunday I was very sick with a fever, and knitted this scarf while stuck of the couch. This scarf is made out of two skeins of yarn for under $2.00's what a deal. Now I want to make some more and more colors. This one is black hair yarn, and pink and Orange pom poms..
