To celebrate the new year, we are giving away this framed 2010 wallhanging. To enter, let us know what resolutions you are making this year- or let us know if you don't make them at all. As for me, I don't make them. Nothing against a resolution, but I figure I can't disappoint myself if I don't make one in the …
Back To It…
You may be wondering if we would ever post again. We are slowly getting back to work after the Christmas week. Hopefully everyone had a wonderful holiday- we certainly did, despite the nasty weather. Here is a little run down of what happens around here the week after Christmas: My mom immediately takes down her Christmas tree the morning of …
A Little Christmas and the Bagalicious Club!!!
Last night we (me and my family) made our annual Christmas Cut-Out cookies. My 6 year old son thinks that if we don't make these cookies that Santa Claus will not come – so I cut the cookies out and it was the kids job to decorate and I am just wondering Do you think this cookie has enough frosting??? …
What To Do With An Old Window
Remember the post about my mom falling off a table while hanging an old window a few weeks ago? Well, I decided to do something a little less dangerous with another window she received from a friend (although I have yet to hang it up). I saw this idea in a photography book and I have been wanting to do …
I am Happy!
I am so happy with my purchase that I made last week and of all things it is wrapping paper! I found this wrapping paper and I just wanted to start jumping up and down!

Spruce up a $6.00 wreath
We got a great deal on evergreen wreaths – 2 wreaths for $12.00 at one of our local grocery stores. Of course the plain wreaths are what we like to buy because then you can add your own special touches to them! We took some plain clay – rolled it out to about 1/4" thick and cut a star shape …
I’ve Fallen…And No Open House
My mom always has plans. Big plans. Her latest is to redo an area of our office we don't use and turn it into a store. Not an open-every-day-nine-to-five kind of store. Just a small store open a couple of Saturdays a month for her to sell all her handmade items as well as our patterns, kits and fabric (when …
Firsts for Thanksgiving and the U Create Holiday Boutique
This past Thanksgiving brought a lot of firsts – 1. First of all it was the first time in my whole entire life that I did not spend thanksgiving in – Yes, Colorful Colorado. (On a side note - Whenever I enter into this great state I always chuckle a little to myself. You see I am from Eastern Colorado and for …
