Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!

Just a quick post to send greetings and show you

the cards I made for my grand babies.

This one is for Marie, 5 yrs old.

Open and inside is a pop up chick.

Here's a better look at the "sky"

His one is for Asher, 2 yrs old.

Inside is a pop up rabbit and lady bug.

I know these aren't perfectly shaped, but I drew and cut them free

hand,  The eggs, butterflies and flowers were all punches or fussy

cut from card stock.  I love the carrots and lady bug, fussy cut from 

scrapbook paper.

I sketched the bunny and chick, then cut them and drew the face

on the bunny.
I think the kids will like these cards.

Thanks for stopping in.

Come back soon and I'll have the results of our

"Annual Maynard Family Egg Coloring Contest."

 

Sorry Crafty Peeps!

 Hello all my crafty peeps!

I'm sorry I haven't been around much in the last few weeks.
Things have been a little hectic in my life and unfortunately,
Kristie Kreates has suffered.

Many of you know that a friend and I run a scrapbooking and
crafting studio called My Happy Place.
It's been going for over 17 yrs and it's come to the time
for us to close our doors.
We are sad about it, but it's time.
We are still going to have our 3 day crops, so
we'll be able to see our crafty friends now and then,
but our dedicated space will be let go.
Because we are closing, I have had to clear out my
personal supplies, as well as all the MHP supplies.
We'll have a big "garage sale" at the end of May,
so hopefully we will sell a lot of the things I have purged.
Because I need to bring home all of these supplies, that means
I need to purge here at home too.
Then I will have space for my best goodies.

On top of that, I had just started to purge and reorganize my
kitchen.  It's a huge project and it's going slow, but sure.

I have so many projects I want to get done and there
aren't enough hours in the day or days in the week.

Hopefully, I'll get back to posting some of the things I have 
created soon.
For now, here are a couple pictures of my sweet 
grand babies to make you smile.
Here's Marie, ready for 
Crazy Hair Day at school

And our handsome Asher with Mommy, Sara.

taking a walk together.

Thanks for stopping by and hopefully, 
you'll keep coming by.
You never know when I'll be posting something fun.
Until then,
keep creating.
