Back from Cali...

Hi Guys!

I am back from California. I drove with my parents out there and then flew home. I was so relieved when Friday came around of last week and couldn't wait to just hop into the car and drive. It was a pretty crazy week before I left. I had a wedding album to finish, a baby mum and a lot of homework to catch up on. I got back on Wed. night to face a full days work and my last day of Spanish class on Thursday evening. Wheeew!! Then Saturday morning a few friends and I decided to throw a little Craft Sale together. We had more "Yard Sale" type customers who seemed more interested in buying our table and chairs than the stuff actually on the tables. I wanted to share a couple more tiles that I threw together. I am sure you know which one is my favorite!!
*** Edited to add that these are just plain ceramin tiles purchased from a Home Improvement store*** Fairly inexpensive.


The first one is a tile that can be used as a reminder decoration. This tile will make a great thank you gift for a teacher. Super Simple to make!

The second one is used with my most favorite color combo and my favorite addition of BLING!!! This one will actually have a home on my desk at work and the cork squares are where a pic of each of my boys will be. The pictures do not so these tiles any justice. They are much more cute in real life!!

I posted a while back that something exciting was in the works. It really is. I'll give you 3 words that might give you all a hint....tattoos, blog candy, and digital....can you guess???

Until next time,

Big Hugs

Carrie

I'VE BEEN ELVED!!!

O.K., so those darn secretary's at work got me! We are playing this christmas game. (I totally have my eyebrow raised and do not look happy!) A gift magically appears on your desk with a sign that says you have been decked. (Insert eyebrow and smile/smirk here). They mean deck the halls deck....hmmm...grrmp! Anyways, after you have been decked then the next day you have to deck 2 people and leave a gift on each of anyone's desk. ?? I get one gift and have to go rush and get 2 more gifts within 24 hrs???? I was stressing all of the way home, got home and this is what I came up with.... It says: Dreams are today's answers to tomorrows questions.

YEAH FOR ME! YEAH FOR ME! YEAH FOR ME!!

This is the one for lucky person #2....... It says: Keep company with those who make you better.

YEAH FOR ME! YEAH FOR ME! YEAH FOR ME!! YEAH FOR ME! YEAH FOR ME! YEAH FOR ME!! YEAH FOR ME! YEAH FOR ME! YEAH FOR ME!! YEAH FOR ME!!

Believe me, I am a total craft-a-holic. I just hate being made to do it, and I have never been really excited about the "have to" of gift giving for Christmas. I think that it has been turned into something so materialistic and has loss the true meaning of gift giving.

I hope you all enjoy these. They are just decorated ceramic tiles with vellum or clear stickers, some ribbon and flowers. So stinking easy!!! Everyone in my office will be getting one of these this year. Actually the most expensive part is getting the stands for the tiles.

Enjoy! Love,

Carrie
