Hi, We have a craft show in Ashland, Missouri on December 1st where we will be showcasing our lastest works and a new line of flower clips.  I must say they are very cute and look great in my girls hair.  Hopefully we will see you there. Santa's Little Workshop Craft Show Boy Scout Troop 134 presents their annual SANTA'S LITTLE WORKSHOP CRAFT SHOW at the Ashland Optimist Club in Ashland, MO.

This is my version of Captain America, cased from Allison Ohran at http://alliohran.blogspot.com/   I added dimentionals to the shield and star and used brillant blue for the blue paper.  Thank you so much for the idea Allison! My daughter has a birthday party saturday for a little boy turning 7 in her class and the present is a captain america guy, I figured if my son likes it this kid will too.  The matching card to present is cute and the theme of the party is wrestling and I couldn't think of anything:) 

We did a craft fair at Community UMC on November 10th.  It was a pretty good turn out.  Hopefully the next one is even better.  Every time we do one we are learning.  We have lots of different items as you can see from the pictures but not a lot of space so organizing and displaying is our biggest issue.  We sold out of the santa mentos and the cricut boxes that we repurposed in to gift boxes.  The post it note with the little pens went fairly well. This was when you walk into the room, HI MOM!      Clayton's tumbled stone business is doing well on key chains, we need to make more.    My wreaths that I make out of Lollies, it takes a lot but they are really pretty.  I am adding MIZZOU and more christmas and non traditional colors.  Dog Treats were well liked and the boxes in the far right sold out.   The boxes I made for the little tissues were liked.  Great stocking Stuffers!   ...

Christmas is right around the corner, so we will be making christmas cards on Nov. 17th to get ready.  Do you have your cards done? April was helping me take pictures outside.  It is close to 70 today and next week the high is 40.  We enjoy it when we can. One of the cards we will be making.  This was cased from karen ewert, thank you.  Antoher card for the class that was cased from Michelle Fischer, thank you so much it is a cute, bright card.  Star Santa card cased (Maria at http://stampininspirations.blogspot.com ) and changed up a bit with in colors and current papers.   These are just some samples of what we will be making.  I am still working on it.  I plan on using the new ornament and framelit set from the holiday catalog 2012 and some snowflakes with non traditional colors.  Sorry I don't have it all done.  I am about to go and set up for tomorrows craft fair.  Hopefully it goes well and I h...

Hello and Welcome to my update on the Craft Fair for Nov. 10th.  This is the last item my mom and I made for the fair.  I love a bargain and I happen to stop at Michael's Monday, all their fall/halloween stuff was 80% off so I picked up these candles for 20 cents and we add the flower on top and the ribbon.  We used a tim holtz die and stampin up ribbon.  We did ink the flower petals, molded them and added dimentials to each level plus the ribbon.  I think they look great!  Any questions you can always email me .   Orange colors in this tin with an orange flower   Purple flower with a purple tine   The pearl on top is the last touch.   cream ribbon was used.   white ribbon was used 

 I am making a bunch of these santa mento candy for the craft show this weekend.  They don't take too long and are cute.  The supplies I used with the owl punch to get the buttons. The slot punch is used twice on the gold paper to do the buckle.  White gel pen to get the button holes.  So first, I wrap the mentos with red paper (5 1/2 X 3 1/2) then I torn white paper (5 1/2 long) for the fur trim.  I cut the belt out of black paper 1/4 inch and then I cut gold paper just a bit larger than the belt and punch two slot holes in it for the buckle look.  I used the owl punch to get the buttons.  (It was the largest circle on the owl punch)  I think I will add a white pom-pom to the top if I find any. 

Getting ready for our Fall Craft Fair and Turkey Time.  I just love these guys.  Imagine on the table for Thanksgiving with matching napkin rings and place cards.  Too Cute!  The turkey idea was from another stampin' up! demonstrator Heidi Boos using the Stampin' Up! Owl Punch to make Turkey Treat Bag.  Top Note die is used for the topper and 5 petal flower.  I used stampin  up! products though some may be retired.  Enjoy looking. 

Okay, the craft show is this coming Saturday at Community United Methodist Church from 8-2 on Saturday Nov. 10, 2012 in Columbia Missouri.  They have been doing this craft fair for several years and they have rented all the booths out so we are sure hoping for a good turn out.  I have been casing the internet and found some real cute ideas on Kerry's paper Crafts   She has been doing craft fairs for several years so I figure to look at the pros to get ideas.   The reindeer is from brandyscards.com but there are a lot of similar ideas out there.  The reindeer is a gift card holder using the top note die with the big shot. (The big shot is my favorite tool).  I used an oval punch for the face, sponged with close to cocoa and the boho blossom punch for hair, a sizzlet holly branch for antlers and the owl punch for nose and eyes.  The white is used with a gel pen.  I think I like the one on the left better but let me know what you think. ...

colored with bic markers for the copic look top note die used on scarecrow.  Autumn/ Thanksgiving Cards I made these cards up this week for Autumn time and getting ready for Thanksgiving.  Hopefully I get them in the mail before people see them on the blog:)  I have been on a more mustard kick lately.  I used it in lots of halloween cards and it just seems like a perfect fall color.  I don't use it so much other times of the year.  I plan on posting a video on how to make the lollie wreath that I sell at craft shows.  Stay tuned.  posted on Nov. 2 by Brooke

Helping out with my daughter's daisy scout troop.  They had their investiture ceremony and I had the girls make invitations to it for their families.  They turned out so cute and the cake just went perfectly for the ceremony. 

Sunday we went on a hay ride at the Peach Tree Farm.  It was so relaxing and fun, Autumn is a great time of year!
