Okay my new blog giveaway is the very first pic at the top. She is 3.5" tall. She is carrying a tusse musse with pretty pink flowers tucked inside. She is made of muslin and her arms and tail are created from wire.

Naked Mice, Oh My

"Oh dear, they look like seals don't they. Hum. Lets see."
Thats better. A couple of ears and some whiskers will do the trick. Oh, no. They think they are at the beach. That darn cup. "No, you can't go to the beach. No Naked Mice aloud. We must get you girls dressed. Then you can go to the beach....maybe."

"You girls are going to be Valentine Angel Mice. See, here's your wings. What do you mean they look like bat wings"????

"Okay, these are better I think. The stamped wording add such a nice touch. Makes you looks so magistic. What do you mean you don't like magistic. Okay, sweet and sassy." " Sheesh, these mice are cranky!!!

"May I introduce you to "Sweet and Sassy"? What do ya mean you don't like sweet and sassy??? Good golly what now? Oh, sweet and naughty. I don't think so!!! No naughty mice aloud. No naked or naughty mice aloud, this is a family friendly site young lady. " Ok, just sweet will do? Good...finally."

"Well aren't you a pretty bunch. Ready to fly off and make someone's Valentine day a lovely one. I'm so proud of all of you. What do ya mean you don't want to fly off? Oh, you'll miss me. Your so wonderful. You have made your momma proud. Now go and make Valentine's Day special for another. Miss you."

Leaving a comment with your name and email address will help me contact you incase you have won. Ends Feb. 14th. Description of this little guy is below. If you leave a comment on any new additional posts, you will be included as well. Good luck.

He's got a face only a mother could love...LOL! Or someone who needs a gentle smile. He is made of paperclay, paint, and lots of glitter. His hat is from an old red sweater and has a rusty bell attached. The faux fur is made of old quilt batting. Some call him primitive, while others call him vintage. Either way, he's a cold little fellow with a warm heart.

Here is a side view of this sweet Snowman! Lots of vintage german glass glitter for extra sparkle! This is the very first attempt at using paperclay. He was lots of fun to make. A papermache ball is used for the base. I will put all post names in a basket and giver a shake. Once my son picks a name, we will notify you and post the winner on my blog. Don't forget to leave a post, with your name and email address (I'm not putting you on a mailing list so don't worry please) so if you win, I can notify you. Giveaway ends Feb. 14th. Good luck and God bless. Cathy

New Year, New Business

It is true that the last year has been the rockiest year of my life with the exception of the year I lost my dad. With my marriage rocking harder than ever and living in my mother's house filled to the brim with people, it has been overwhelming to say the least. In early December I decided to start the close of my business since I could not find a spot anywhere to craft in my mother's overflowing house filled with people, dogs, and stuff. I regret coming to that decision. For most of you that believe God has a plan for our lives, I decided to start talking to my estranged husband about Christmas and where we will spend it. In our conversation, I opened up about the termoil and hardship my kids and I were suffering and we decided it would be best to move back...just as house mates.

It has been such a blessing to be in my home again, even if it is not finished being renovated and possibly never will. I have hit my craft room running and am in the process of creating so many things that I have to take time to finish one project at a time. I am hoping in the very near future, I can aquire a camera since my daughter accidently broke mine and start taking pics of the creations I have been so happy to make and share with you.

I do not want to close my business but will close my website for sure. It is to hard and costly to keep up with but you will be able to find my patterns/epatterns, dollies, and more here and on the below list. My goals for this year are to have give aways on my blog, continue to create patterns/epatterns, list on a new site or two and continue to create new and different creations to tickle your fancy. Thanks so much for being a part of my life. Happy New Year!
