Christmas 2012

This year is quickly coming to an end! Can you believe it? Xmas is around the corner and 2013 is sneaking up as we speak!!!... Time is speeding by... Anyhow - just wanted to share what chaos I've been up to. Some of you know I've been taking some mini vacay's here and there these last couple of weeks... 2 weeks ago I took another week off.. And well - I didn't go anyhwere - just stayed home doing my crafts and making the house messy. (yah the house needs to be thoroughly cleaned...thus I'm taking another 3 days off... let/s see if that task will be done!) Below is some of the stuffs I've finished... whew...

 

 

 

Just wanted to take this time to wish everyone a merry xmas 2012..I'm thankful I have great friends and family that have been by my side for a long time. ;)

.

And I'd like to say a prayer of remembrance for those innocent lives

(young and old)

that were taken during the shooting's at the elementary school last week. It was such a senseless crime at a time when we should all be celebrating the holiday season. It saddens me.

It makes me even more THANKFUL that we live Hawaii.....

Ian's 10th Birthday/Thanksgiving Celebration 2012

Happy Thanksgiving 2012

First off - had a Birthday potluck 11/20/12. Good friend turned the BIG 3-0... Found this diy cake pop project - that I just had to try. I used Red Velvet Cake, white chocolate coating and some decorations. Viola - yummy and cute snacks.

 

Happy 30th Birthday Girl! ;) (she wants to be anonymous)

Thanksgiving is extra special this year - not only is it the day we give "THANKS" for all that we have in our lives - it is my youngest son's 10th Birthday!... Yay - my baby is double digits old! We will have a small party for him at lunch and spend our yearly Thanksgiving Dinner with my inlaws at Prince Court that night. Bleh... eating all day and night. Then ofcourse - start shopping the BLACK FRIDAY DEALS..!!!

 

 

 

Have a Happy Thanksgiving Ya'll!

 

Double Baby Shower!

Thought I'd share some of the crafts I made for the Double Baby Shower we had today for  Bing & Nancy at Old Spaghetti Factory. It turned out pretty good, although we RUSHED the games...a little... I'm glad everyone had fun. Both gals are having BOYS in January 2013! Congrats to them both. They'll both be great mothers.

The prizes - had some leftover clothes pins - made them into magnets

The Centerpieces were tissue covers and I made these diaper cakes for the gals
Can't see it clearly - but crochet a hat and baby bunting, and sewed (yes you heard me -sewed) some flannel pieces onto some burp clothes.

The Favor - snack popcorn/lollipop and our Guess the Baby game (that was fun)

I haven't been to OLD Spaghetti Factory since the 90'z...and the food was just as good as I remembered. Although I kinda wanted to order the Italian Soda!!! Darn... well I'm forcing my hubby to bring me next time.. (won't take no for answer!)

It was a such a nice party - it was therapeutic to get together with my co-workers in a NON-STRESSFUL environment!
And I'm on a short vacay! YAY!
 

Halloween Goodies - a little more

Yummies for Ian's Class - didn't break my promise - I told him no goodie bags - but bked cupcakes instead.

Goodies for my peeps at work. ;)

Happy Fall Ya'll

It's Fall already - meaning it's Halloween once again.  I've been so so so busy lately and kinda STRESSED.  Usually crafting -DE-STRESSES me - but well... work has been occupying pretty much ALOT of my time - so CRAFTING came second.  (and therefore... my stress has been increasing as a result... ) However..I did squeeze in some time this weekend... I wish I could have done more... Tomorrow - after work - I plan to make some treats... ;) (if I'm NOT too tired-we'll see)

Goodie bags for Ian's neighborhood friends - I'm NOT allowed to give goodie bags for his classmates (He'll be too embarrassed)....
Also forgot to show the crochet ribbon lei I gave to a good friend that recently moved to the mainland a few weeks ago.



Made some goodie bags for some little girls that I know. My boys are too OLD for goody bags
 (as my youngest told me)

 

Have a Safe Halloween - and remember to BRUSH YOUR TEETH!!!

Tissue Box covers

Found something new to do. Made Tissue Box Covers out of scrapbook papers. It was pretty fun and easy to make. One was made for a friend as a "thank you" gift.  The other is for an upcoming baby Shower in November - it will be the centerpieces.
