Snowy Day

We got lots of snow here today. It is rare we got snow here in Vancouver. It is so nice to see the snow falling down.

My kids were so excited to go out to play. I took some pictures of them playing in the snow.
Hope was fascinated by the snow.
Sorry, for not having projects to show you I have not stamp much lately. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Holidays!

Place Setting From The Ladies Christmas Tea

Here are some close up photos of the place setting from the Ladies Christmas Tea. i put crystal effect on all the poinsettias and pretty beads in the middle.

I got my DH to print out the word princess on a piece of white card stock then I mounted the word onto brushed silver card stock. I made blank oval name card so whoever sits at our table they can write their names on it. You can't see it too well in the picture but I wrote my name in silver ink.

This is a mini purse with a chocolate inside. It was too pretty that the ladies was afraid to rune the purse if they take the chocolate out. I covered the chocolate with a Bella Rose DSP.

A lady sat at our table had a Polaroid camera so we took a picture of the ladies individually, cut and mounted the photo right there that night. This is a magnetic picture frame that we can put on our fridge.

Ladies Christmas Tea

We had our tea party tonight and it was so much fun. It was nice to see everyone's table all decorated differently.

Here are photos of the tables. Skip this post if you are not interested in reading.









This was our table. We did a pink princess theme.

This was our simple centre piece. Very simple.
These are all the place settings I made. I did poinsettias for the Christmas season.

Our group photo wearing our crown.
This was a contest each table did. Each table got a snowman cake (not decorated) with frostings and candies to decorate. We didn't win but we had fun decorating. I don't have the other table's snowmen because I was using my friend's camera.I took a picture of the guest picture but it didn't turn out too good. I was challenged by the message she brought to us. Thank you Susan. You can visit her blog here.

Phew! This was a lot pf photos to upload. Sorry, for the long post.

Happy Holidays!

Burnaby Village Museum

Went to Burnaby Village Museum tonight. We experience the life in 1920s. It was fun but cold outside! I love going there.

This is a very tiny house in that village. The ladder on the wall there was where you go up to sleep. We didn't actually get to go in the house but took picture at the doorway. It was section off.

The other side of the house from the doorway view.

This is the inside of a tiny church. People have weddings here. I'm not sure how many it sits. This was also taken at the doorway.

This is the front of a tram but the tram can go either way. It was owned by an Electric company. This tram have electricity and heated.

This is the none smoking side. Did you know that the back of the seats are movable? The tour guide said that you'll always face forward which ever way the tram travel. There is no loop for it to go around but back the same way it came from.
This is where the conductor stand.
This is the smoking section of the tram. Only male was allowed to sit here. Back then women doesn't or allow to smoke.
There is a very famous Carousal ride in the village. My kids love this place. Hope did not want to leave when we rode the last ride of the night. I had to tell her that the horses needs to go to sleep and she was okay with that. Phew!


Well, that was the highlights of our night. Thanks for stopping by!

Desk Top Calendar

This was our project for last months Craft Night. All the ladies made at least two calendars and we did not finish until 11 pm. I guess if they did only one maybe we'll earlier. Oh, well! I plan it better next year and make it simpler.

I don't have the bind it all machine so I used two key ring to hold the calendar together.

Gift Tags

I made some gift tags to put on the gift this Christmas. I usually just write the names on the box and never dress them up. This year will be different.

It was fun sewing with all the ladies last night. There were really big angel customs we made and some ladies tried them on. They were dragging on the floor. It was hilarious. I guess we were really small ladies. lol

A Box Of Cards-Part One

Happy Thursday! I made this box to hold Christmas cards. I love it very much and I don't know if I could ever part with it. This box holds 6 cards with envelopes.


Come back tomorrow and I'll show you the matching cards. You're going to love them!

I'm going to sew some costumes for my church annual Children's Christmas Program tonight with a few other ladies. I haven't sewn in years. I can already hear the grinding of the gears right now!

Snowy Card Case

I made this last week and finally have a chance to post this. Been busy scanning work samples to send to the teacher.


I saw this card case over at Paper Pleasing and thought I try to make it. It was easy to make. It only uses one sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock to make.


Here are the instructions:

On the 11 inch side, you need to score your CS at 3 1/4, 3 3/4, 8 1/4 and 8 3/4. Then turn it to the 8 inch side, and score it at 3/4, 1 1/4, 7 1/4 and 7 3/4.

Where the score lines overlap, you need to cut them out. Stamp before you assemble the box.

Add sticky strip to the bottom panel (this is the larger one) and folding the two outside ones in, you stick it all together.

I made four cards to go in the box. Here is a group photo.

Close up of the cards.


Have a happy Wednesday and thanks for visiting!

Christmas Lights - Priceless

A friend sent this to me. Thought I share this with you.

A friend has been on her husband 's case to get the Christmas lights up for a couple of weeks.
They are up now and he canʼt understand why sheʼs not talking to him.

Gift Card Holders

Here are some gift card holders I made for my sister to choose from.

This one is like a wallet with a belly band.

Match Book Treat Holder

Happy Thanksgiving to all my US reader!

Here are some match book treat holder I made a couple of weeks ago. They are fun to make. These measures 3"x8" scored at 1" and 5". I staple the treat to the short flap and just tuck the longer flap in.
