Almost over....

Wow I cant believe that Christmas has come & gone already. The only thing to look forward to once New Year passes is the The CHA (Craft & Hobby Association) Winter show in Anehiem California. It goes on from Jan 28th through the 31st.

There are going to be over 3,500 vendors at this show. Not only is there going to be so many vendors at this function but Martha Stewart is going to be a keynote speaker at this event. All of us (EK elite customers) were invited to meet with Martha and have her speak to us about her new line that we got a sneak peek at in Las Vegas last month,before she launches to everyone else at the show.

There are going to be a ton of workshops to take with new products to use as well as learn information on all the latest products that will be coming out next year.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you all a Happy New Year...too

Christmas Cards




Every year I take a family well (my kids) photos to make a christmas card to send out to family & friends. But every year it seems to get harder & harder to top the last card and to get the kids all together and actually pose for the camera, now if it was for thier myspace pages well thats a different story they have no problem doing that but for me to take dorky pictures they are totally against it!
This year I was pressed for time and I knew if I wanted them sent out before christmas then I would have to make them simple. Simple can be good, I made the kids pose in front of a blank wall, that was a task in itself and for everyone to be looking at the camera and smiling verses making funny faces or crying yes even my big girls cry over how they look..lol
I then digitally enhanced the photo by cropping and pasting them to a unique background and then added the text and whala the front of the card was made. Now making the rest was a piece of cake right I mean the hard part was done.
This is the picture I used for my christmas cards and since they still had to have that hand made feel I only made a few 12 to be exact. I sent an email to the rest of my friends & family that didnt get to recieve the actual card.
I just thought I would post a picture of my kids and send everyone that visited my blog christmas wishes.
