Sorry, no pictures...

Because I'm typing this from the airport! I'm coming home, everybody! Woohoo! You can't even imagine my excitement. I know I haven't updated in a while, and I wish I could say it is because I've just been working so hard- but that isn't the case. Really, I've been slacking. BUT I'm trying to get back on track today.

I imagine I'll have a LONG post on Monday with pictures of the trip home and all I've made, as well as a couple of BIG announcements. I mean, they are seriously exciting. I have to hold it in for now though, so until next time: Have a Happy Thanksgiving! I know I have so much to be thankful for.

An Amazing Discovery...

I discovered something about myself last night that made me VERY HAPPY. I can read and crochet at the same time. Its amazing, truly. You see, before I knew this, I would have to stop crocheting so I could read, or stop reading so I could crochet. The first would make me feel guilty, the second would just be very frustrating. But, now that I have found this talent...it's great. I can simply do both.

Here are the little guys I made yesterday. These are quite a bit diferent from what I've been working on, but I really love them. They're adorable. They're about 3 inches wide by about 2 inches tall.

This next little guy is a chipmunk, in case you were wondering! :)
So, which is your favorite? Should I make more in this style?

All kinds of cuteness...

The past couple of days have been just gorgeous here. Right now it's in the 60s outside and super bright and sunny, which is pretty much an exact replica of yesterday. To make things even better, I had my final for Block 3 this morning, and now it's BLOCK BREAK! I have nothing to do for the next four days (except be crafty). It's going to be nice, I can tell you.

So, rememer I'm a Creative Team member for Ella Designs? And she had that humongous kit Winter Wonderland just a while back? Well, she set out to make an add-on to WW, and just kept creating, until she had another GIGANTIC kit, that fully coordinates with WW. That's pretty amazing in itself, but then, she decided to go a little bit crazy and put all of her designs on sale at 50% off!

With the sale she hopes to raise enough money to throw her son a surprise party. Ten years ago this month, her son was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes. At the five year mark, they had a fantastic party, but finances are a little bit tighter this time around. So head on over to her store, and help her out! Here's a preview of When It Snows, Ella's newest kit. You can check out all the details here.

And here are a couple of sweet layouts I did with it. I don't really have any winter photos, so these two kits have really been a bit difficult for me.

I did quite a bit of crocheting yesterday, and made some super cute stuff. First, an adult sized hat. (UT colors, anyone?)

And back by popular demand, Christmas Pickles with faces.

Also, three little animals. These guys are all around three inches tall.

This little bear has the cutest little red scarf. It comes off and everything.

Remember the chubby Mama Owl? Well, here's a chubby baby owl.

Keeping myself accountable...

I really like this Christmas album. It's very simple, but the patterned papers are so pretty.

Scrapbooking again...

I finally made a few more scrapbooks yesterday. I hadn't done any in quite awhile, and it felt really good to play with paper and glue again. I made four simple books for the Craft Fair, 3 6x6 and 1 4x6. The winter one is my favorite!
