I want to share some of the crafts I made for Christmas gifts. I did share them before because the recipients sometimes read my blog and I didn’t want to ruin the surprise. So here is my first craft:

Memory Board

I made this memory board for my sister Keira. I used a piece of foam board, fabric, ribbon, buttons, batting, and a frame to make this.

This post is getting a bit long for the front page. Continue reading here…

I haven’t been posting a lot. I’ve been very busy making Christmas gifts which I will share with you what I made after I have given out all the gifts. I haven’t been doing a lot of designing either but right after Christmas I plan on doing as much designing as possible since I will be visiting family a lot I not sure how much I will get done. We are going to be driving to NH but I will be bring my laptop along and have internet access the entire time (everyone in my family has wireless internet, yeah!).

I’m also going back to school on Jan 7. I want to get my MBA. I am doing it online at UMUC. I have BIG plans ahead for me that will require me to have some business knowledge so getting a MBA will be great.

Still trying to sell my house. We’ve received a  foreclosure notice even though they are not suppose to foreclose on us until they’ve heard whether or not we can defer our VA Loan. To many communication problems between the mortgage company and the VA.

One good thing is everyone is healthy again. I am finally over my cold, ear infection, and bronchitis which all started before Thanksgiving. My son also had a cold and ear infection.

I hope everyone has a very merry holiday!
