MIA

Good Morning and Happy Wednesday! I just wanted to stop and let everyone know that I may be a bit MIA for the next couple days. If I can find som time to craft I will but with the holidays coming I'm just not sure I will be able to.

The last couple days have been crazy. I have been getting January's kit together and my daughter left yesterday for Illinois. She was supposed to leave Monday night but the weather in Illinois was so bad her flight got cancelled. It was a long day.

Tony had off on Monday and we had to leave for the airport at 3pm. We decided that since we are on break from school that we will make meals and freeze them. So Monday we decided to make some lasagnas. I made some pancake batter for the week(we put them in squeeze bottles so we can have fresh pancakes in the morning) and then I helped Tony make the pasta. Tony took apart a turkey. One we got just after Thanksgiving for like $3. It was insanely cheap, we ended up buying 3 and put them in our deep freezer.

Tony ground up some of the turkey so we can make turkey burgers and freeze them. I made chili for dinner. We then left at 3pm and headed to the airport. All seemed to go as planned. Tony stayed with the kids in the parking lot and Nicki and I made our way to the gate.
I stayed with Nicki until she boarded the plane. I headed back to the car and we started to head home. Within 45min she called and said the plane was delayed for 3 hrs and they were directed off the plane. We were already half home with some CRANKY lil kids. I toldNicki to hang out by the gate, not go anywhere and I was going to take Tony and the kids home and head back up to hang with her until her flight left. Within 15 more minutes she called and said the flight was cancelled. We turned around and immediately headed back up to the airport.

Nicki was able to get her luggage and we were able to rebook the flight for the morning. We then headed home, all together we were on the go for 6 hours. The kids were very cranky by the time we got home.

6:30am yesterday morning we were up again, getting ready and out the door by 7am to head to the airport. This time I was on my own with my kids. I have done this plenty of times but I think we all had enough. We made our way through the airport with no problems, and sent Nicki on her way.

I think we ended up spending $100 yesterday and the day before in gas, food, tolls and parking. It was ridiculous. Needless to say I am exhausted.

I LOVE the looks I get from people when they see me handling my 4 kids, I think they think I am insane. LOL! So anywho, that is what I have been up to.

December's sketch challenge will end December 27th at midnight EST! I will hopefully have January's kit reveal on the 27th. I am actually just waiting for one last item. Kits should be shipping the first part of next week. So if you would like to purchase January's kit or you are a subscriber, be on the look out at the end of the week. Feel free to send me an email if you would like to pre-order January's kit.

I am so excited that with the new year brings many sponsorships. I will be sponsoring several challenge blogs so make sure you check back often to find out where I will be next.

Happy Monday!

Only a couple more days until Christmas! Wahooo!! Tony will have both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off, I am so excited.



Today I have a super cool LO to share with you that DT member Debbie created.



Awesome how she made the LO like a window. I absolutely LOVE this LO! Be sure to stop by Debbie's blog and leave some comments.

Today will be pretty busy, since Tony has off we are going to try and get some baking/cooking done. We decided since school keeps us pretty busy, we would like to prepare dinner and breakfast meals over the next couple weeks so we can freeze them and just pull them out and bake. Lasagna, breakfast sandwiches, enchiladas, cinnamon rolls and pot pies, just to name a few. Plus we have to take my daughter to the airport. She leaves today to spend the week in Illinois with Grandma and Grandpa (my parents). Her flight doesn't leave until 5:20 and it is an hour drive each way plus navigating through the airport.

Don't forget to submit your project for this month's sketch challenge. It ends in one week. Click the link at the top of the page to link up. :-)

WINNERS

Hello all! Life has been a little crazy here. We live in a small 4 bedroom house, so my oldest daughter and my oldest son have their own room. Then my lil girl and baby boy share a room. Our living room isn't the biggest and we always have toys thrown all over the place. So the other day Tony and I decided that since all the kids do in their bedrooms is sleep, we would move all 3 in the same room and then make the 4th bedroom a play room. Fabulous idea EXCEPT now that all the kids are in the same room, NAP is non-existent. My last ounce of sanity went out the door the day we moved all the beds in the same room.

All they do is play. I mean it's nice because now they will go to bed at 7pm and I don't feel one ounce of guilt for putting them to bed so early. But most days I totally look forward to nap time, it is the one time during the day that there is no noise except for my TV. No screaming and crying.....just silence. I know it will just take some time to get used to and HOPEFULLY one day they will just play quietly. Yeah right!!!

I have some winners to announce. So from the giveaway I had going on decided to chose 6 winners, that's right SIX!!!
And here they are:

33. Karen aka soccerboyzmom
7. Debbie B.
21. Karen B.
9. Darlene S.
18. Suzy
30. Kelly Massman

Please email me your address so I can get your goodie box in the mail. I know with the holidays most of you are busy so I will give you some time to get back with me before I draw a new winner. leeanne@artfuldelight.com

Thank you to everyone that participated. I will be having another giveaway very soon. Stop by tomorrow to see another LO from DT member Debbie. :-)

Jolly - Cricut Card

Hello there my friends! It is just over a week until Christmas and I am almost done with my cards, WAHOOO! Should have them done today and in the mail. Yesterday was a fabulous day. Tony finished up his finals in the early part of the day so we had the evening to spend together and it was wonderful.





We decided to take our kids to see Santa. It was the first time my 3 lil ones saw him. They did very well actually. Then we ended the night with pizza, it was so pleasant. No one was screaming at dinner or running around. We laughed and talked and it was just wonderful (days don't happen like that very often, someone is usually in a cranky or obnoxious mood, lol)



Isabel didn't not seem too happy but she did sit nice without crying. Anywho, next I have a card to share that I made using my Cricut and an SVG file I purchased from SVGcuts.com. I made 2 other cards using the single purchase, the Gingerbread Man and House.

So sorry for the really nasty picture, it has been super cold and super windy here in Virginia so I had to take the picture at night and the lighting was horrible.

You have until tomorrow at midnight to get in on my giveaway(s). So be sure to click here and leave a comment to enter. :-)

Oh it is a fabulous LO, well actually all Debbie's LO's are fabulous! LOL! :-)

Candy Jars

Hello my crafty friends. I am so happy to have this semester of school behind me. I think I did really well. I got an A on my Computer class final, which gave me an A for the class. So for sure I know I received an A in Math and Computer. I feel decently confident that I got an A in Accounting and I will more than likely end with a B in English. Which to me is OK.

I am looking forward to next semester but at the same time a wee bit nervous. Most of my classes this time are online. I only have one "real" class at school and then I get to tak Yoga. LOL! I just can't believe that is a class but I am pretty excited.

So today I have a project to share with you that DT member April made.


I am always looking for new ideas for gifts for my daughter's teachers. So I was super happy to see these. I may have to make something similar for Christmas. Such a cute idea. For full details about this project stop by April's blog.

Hey, do you know what happens tomorrow at noon??? Well all entries need to be in over at Frosted Designs. If you would like to get your hands on Artfuldelight's December kit then get crafty today and get your project entered by noon tomorrow. (EST)

Only 2 weeks left until Christmas! Hopefully y'all have your Christmas cards, shopping and cookie baking done. I have 11 cards made (wahoo, only 19 or so to go, lol), most of my shopping done and no cookie baking yet. I need to get busy. :-)

Happy Crafting!!

Gingerbread House

Happy Friday! Today I will spend the morning at school taking some finals. YAY me! Not really, I am feeling really nervous. My Computer class final is open book but there is so much info that I am not sure I will be able to finish in 2hrs. My English final is not open book but is only worth 30 points. Plus she has some extra credit on there. The problem is currently I am teetering on an A. I have a B and depending on how I do on my last essay (my Professor just needs to grade it) and my final exam, I MAY get an A. I am not going to get my hopes up because for awhile there I would have been happy making it through the class with a C. LOL! So for me almost getting an A would be fabulous! :-)



On to today's card. It is another Christmas card that I got from the SVGcuts.com website. I purchased a file that had 3 cards in it. This is the second one, I will make the last card either today or tomorrow.



Isn't it cute? Have you ever made a project that you really liked the way it turned out but was such a pain in the rump to make that you will never make anything like it again? Well that was this card. LOL! I am not sure if it was the paper I was using to cut in the Cricut or it was the Cricut itself but you see the white part with the candy canes and the peppermint candies. Well the white part was one piece that was cut and I kid you not it took me 10+ tries to get one cut. I couldn't get the speed or the pressure right on the Cricut. It either didn't cut all the way through the paper or was too deep and started ripping the paper. Finally I compromised for a bit of both. LOL! I ended up using my Xacto knife to finish cutting some of the peices out and my trusty Tombo Mono multi glue to fix the parts that ripped a bit. IT WAS A PAIN!!! That was the only part that did that no other part on that card gave me trouble. I even bought a new blade (even though my Cricut was brand new) thinking that was the problem. Anywho, I do like the way it turned out but will not be making another one.

Yummy Hot Chocolate

Who should we decorate?

Hello crafty friends! I felt so bad for my lil man, Max. I made him a birthday cake yesterday and he had absolutely no desire to eat it. I was waiting and excited to take pictures of him eating the cake and getting chocolate frosting all over the place. He wouldn't even let me spoon feed him. He is certainly not feeling well and I hope he gets better soon.



Today I have a LO to share with you that DT member Jamie created using the December sketch and kit.


Fabulous LO! I really do love the shape of that pattern paper.

Just a couple reminders, don't forget to enter my giveaway, it ends December 17th at midnight EST. Have you entered Frosted Designs sketch challenge, ya know the one I am sponsoring (*wink*). The challenge ends December 13th at noon. And last but certainly not least don't forget the challenge here at Artfuldelight. This challenge ends December 27th at midnight EST.

2 Cute lil men...

It is Monday and I am in the final stretch of this semester. I have my last class in Math today and I get my Accounting take home test for the final. I just can't believe it is my last week of classes. I also can't believe how fast Christmas is approaching. Yikes!

Well my Christmas present from my honey was a kitty. I have been BEGGING for one for months. I used to have cats when we met but they were indoor/outdoor cats and one day they didn't come back (well 2 of them) I was devasted. Then when we moved out of state I had to get rid of my last kitty. We have a dog and I love her but I think I am a cat person. So Tony was going to surprise me with a kitty for Christmas but over the weekend the Subaru dealer in town was paying the adoption fees. Can't beat free right? So I went down to the shelter and picked up Chuck aka Tuc. His name was Tuc but I didn't really like it.

He had been at that shelter since September 14 and I felt so bad for him. He was a 3 yr old male cat that was previously owned by an older lady that passed away. I am SO HAPPY I chose him, he is so loving and gets along great with my kids and my dog. He has totally made himself at home.
So, meet Chuck.....



Isn't he handsome? He is such a good kitty!! :-)

Now on to today's project. As usual I am in a crunch for getting my Christmas cards done. I have made a total of 5 and Ineed at least 30 so I need to get working.

Well not sure if you saw a week or so ago where I had my Cricut Expressions up for sale, well I sold it. It was about 48 hrs and I was feeling a bit sad. So I went by Joann Fabrics on Black Friday and they had a Personal Cricut, is that what they are called. The smaller version. It was on sale for $59.99, I had to have it. I LOVE IT!!! Since my craft space is rather small this machine fits perfectly.

Well I use the SCAL program and on SVGcuts.com they have some awesome SVG files. Yesterday I purchased some Christmas card files and started making some. This is what I made last night.

Aren't they cute! Not sure if you can tell in the pic, since I had to take it inside (dang it's cold and windy outside) but I added some glitter to the white part on the hat and boots. So now I have 7 cards, LOL!

Check back tomorrow, I will have a project from DT member Courtney. :-) Don't forget to enter my giveaway, it ends Decemer 17th at midnight EST.

Blizzard LO

Hey there fellow crafters! Today I have a LO to share with you that DT member Courtney created using the December sketch and December kit. This LO is fabulous just like what the other ladies created using the kit.




Absolutely awesome. Ya know I never really play with the kits myself, only because I just don't have much time but every time I see what the DT creates it totally makes me want to play with the kit. LOL! This month is certainly no exception. For the complete details about the LO please visit Courtney's blog.

Oooops!

Good Morning! It would seem as though when I uploaded the December kit in to Artfuldelight, I deleted the payment options. So there was no way for anyone to purchase the kit. I just wanted to let everyone know, or for those who may be interested in purchasing the kit, that I have made the correction.

Sorry if that caused any problems. We still have a few kits left so be sure to check it out. Stop by tomorrow for DT member Courtney's LO using the December kit and sketch. :-)

Snow Cute

Good Morning and happy Thursday. Another week about to come to an end. Christmas is going to be here before we know it. I need to get my Christmas cards done. This happened last year, I was rushing at the last minute to get them made and mailed. How ridiculous, LOL!

Anywho, today I have a LO to share with you that April created using the December Monthly kit. The more LO's I see being created with it, the more and more I LOVE it!! I can't wait to see what Jamie and Courtney create. :-)

Isn't that snowman ADORABLE??? I love how April dressed him up! :-) I hope y'all play along with this month's sketch. I hope to get some crafting in and try the sketch myself. Stop by April's blog and spread some comment love! :-)

Super Fab projects

WOW, this is my 200th post. Not to shabby for only starting my blog 6 months ago and starting off a bit slow. :-) Today I have some great projects to share with you. I was so excited to receive an email on Monday from Catherine Oakley, the winner of the November kit, sharing pics of some fabulous cards she created using the kit she won. I asked if I could share them on my blog and she was A.O.K with it. So I will be sharing those with you as well as one last card from DT member Courtney.

These cards are all so fabulous! I am so excited to be sharing them with you today!

Catherine





Courtney


Aren't they all fabulous. I think Catherine's idea to give the teachers a set of cards, is fabulous! I might have to do that for my daughter's teachers. The problem is that she is in middle school so she has like 8 teachers or something, that is a lot of cards. LOL! Be sure to stop by their blogs for more details about the cards.
