Welcome December!!!

Wow, is it really December already??? I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a great week! My  hubby got home from a two week business trip so it was nice that he was off the entire week of Thanksgiving.

And now it's December and I know things are starting to get busy around here. I have been busy getting the new Holiday Joli Paquet kit ready. Boo Girl has shed her Halloween duds and has wrapped herself up for the winter holidays! I hope you like her! I really enjoyed changing her up for the Holiday Season.

 

All Joli Paquet kits will go on sale this Thursday, December 3rd. My kits will be available in my Etsy shop at 6am CST, Thursday, Dec. 3rd. Quantities are limited. 

Be sure and head to Joli for previews of the other wonderful kits that all the gals have created. The first batch is wonderful and Cerri will be previewing the rest tomorrow. (Wed.). You also want to check out all the fun Holiday tutorials on Joli. Such cute and quick projects!

It's cold and rainy here and I'm going to pick up Pei Wei! Yum!

I'll see you soon!

I even carved out a little time to make one. I still need to put a tag on it, but it was so quick and easy! Here's my version.

 

Thanks Jeanne for a great tutorial and what a great way to use up scrapbook paper scraps!

So head on over to Joli for a quick and easy and fun tutorial! There will be more this week so be sure and check back often.

Happy Crafting,

Cindy

Would you shop here?

 

At the end of September I decided to rent a teensy weensy booth at a local antique shop. I worked feverishly to get it set up before October and was able to get some things in it before I had my surgery. I actually sold some things during October and was very excited since I really didn't have a chance to get it exactly like I wanted. 

So last week I was feeling up to doing quite a bit more, so I got some Christmas things together and went and redid my booth for the Holidays. (The lighting is not good in my booth so I had a hard time getting a decent photo.)

 

Here's a full view of my booth redone for the Holidays. I have to tell you I kinda forgot how small it was. It's about 4' x 5'. Very hard to get all my goodies in! I worked for several hours trying arrange things in this small little space so it was pleasing to the eye and not too cluttered. Now I have to say it might be looking a little cluttered to me in this picture now that I'm looking at it. But all in all I'm happy with it and it's a lot of fun to play with. I have gotten several sweet comments from other dealers and customers so hopefully I'm heading in the right direction.

Another view.

Close up of a cute framed print I found the other day while on a quick thrift store stop. I found a box of 12 prints in wonderful pink, green, and blue frames. They are soooo cute.

Anyway if you are in the area come shop with me at the Antique Company Mall! I am upstairs at the end of a row near the back stair case. There are some neat booths and finds in the store. I have to close my eyes as I stock my booth so I won't buy anything! LOL

Until Later,

Cindy

I'm Loving...

That I'm back in the studio and cotton candy colors for Christmas!

 

You can find this in my shop and there's more to come!

Is it that time already?

It's time for a new Holiday round of Joli Paquet to start! Can you believe it? We are so excited about the Holidays and we hope you will join us at Joli Paquet for all the Holiday festivities. Be sure and check out Joli Paquet for all the details and grab the new holiday button to add to your blog!

On a personal note I just want to say a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to all of you for all your well wishes for a speedy recovery! You are all the best and I really appreciate your thoughts and prayers! I am feeling much better and just about back up to speed. Although I think my bikini wearing days are over darn it. LOL... Now that WOULD be scary!

I'm trying to unearth my studio so I can get some crafty things done over the next few days. My shops are back open and I'll be adding new things soon! So please be sure and come back to visit! 

HUGS!
