Month: December 2008

Here are two of many things I’ve been working on (and putting up) on my etsy shop. (www.mayflaumdesigns.etsy.com)  I’ve been putting more and more fun stuff in there. (eta.. both items pictured sold! But I’ve got more similar stuff going up…)

and here is my nominee for cutest sweater ever. Gymboree, why don’t you make this in women’s sizes???

and oh help me Rhonda but the girls and I shared one of these just last week. It’s toffee, chocolate, almond covered apple.

Finally, I leave you with some pretties I’m currently working with…

Happy Monday!

PRESENT #1 winner: LisaS! (e-mail mflaum@comcast.net to claim prize) Also, the winners from THIS haven’t claimed their prizes yet… I’ll re-draw on Wednesday if I don’t hear back!

Now, on to the prize! Who couldn’t use some gold ink and festive quote cards?

to enter and win this fun gift (thanks Fiskars!) just leave a comment here. I’ll be drawing a winner soon!

crafting is fun- and I like sharing the joy with my girls.

I bought a cheap wood snowman (for decor) at the craft store for E to enjoy decorating. some paint, glue, buttons, and glitter later and we had Frosty!

She picked all the buttons and colors and such. Note in the photo below you can see a wee (little sister) finger. uh oh.

Luckily lil B knew well enough to ‘step off’ from big sister’s masterpiece and fighting was avoided. We’re enjoying the quick and simple project that sits above the fireplace now. Good times indeed

It’s December, probably my favorite month of the whole year. Everywhere I look there is festive decorations, sweet treats, and people doing nice things for one another. I also see how slim this year is (gift wise) and how so many of us are struggling.

I’ve done some thinking, and I’ve come up with a fun little treat for you, my blog readers this year. I’ve got at least 12 gifts here that I want to give to you. Chocolates, scrapbook supplies, even a few books! Randomly between now and December 31st I will post them one at a time. When? How long will they be open to enter? That’s all part of the fun and surprise.

I’ve also got fun craft project ideas to share, and as usual more, more, more.

Oh yeah- the cute little box of chocolates pictured is gift #1. Some yummy sees chocolates in just the right (almost guilt free) size. ** WINNER HAS BEEN DRAWN! SEE PRIZE #2 POST FOR WINNER. More prizes coming… stay tuned!

It’s a great movie, one of my favorites probably. Though I have many favorites. Anyhow- today I keep thinking about it thanks to www.pandora.com radio (songs from the movie keep playing on my stations!). I went over to youtube and dug up some clips I want to share. Jump is a great dancing song, and I love this scene.
