Merry Christmas....Elf designs and ornaments

Hello!

I have been very busy and I bet you have been too!

It's just that time of year!

I made some little designs inspired from the movie "Elf".  

They are easy to stitch up and makes fun little gifts.

Here is a closeup of one...makes me laugh.

That movie is just so cool.

This design is fun...a spin on "Home Alone".

These are all inexpensive.

This design reminds me of baking cookies....especially when I was a kid watching my older sister make the most mouth watering cookies on the planet....those were the days!

The cookie wreath would look so sweet in the kitchen!

I have also been making some fun Christmas ornaments....using prints of my art!

These are all hand made by me.

They are on wood and have a gold wire hanger...plus some seambinding ribbon.

I added glitter to this one!  She is a sweet red head Santa baby.

I only made 21 ornaments total this year...so this is it....when they are gone , they are gone.

I love this celebrate life one....the colors are my kind of colors.

This is a very lucky girl....with her shamrock.

My pink hair holly girl...

The kitty cat who loves being home (that is me... lol)

Raggedy Ann....and her cat.

"Bloom"....another cat with blue eyes!

I have these best friends...

and several more to boot!

This SET OF 15 FLASH CARDS...you print them on creme colored cardstock and cut out, sooooo easy. The words you get are: Cake, flour, sugar, bake, butter, brownie, cupcake, frosting, chocolate, pie, sprinkles, cookies, donuts, fudge, and eggs. Each one comes with a cute definition and number. They measure: 7 5/8" x 3 1/4".

They are fun to have around the kitchen or framed.

Wouldn't these be great in a bakery or in a bake sale.

I love the boldness of the text.

Go to Cupcake diaries...for this recipe on Valentine treats:

Yummmmmmyyyy... is all I can say!

 

Come to the Pin me linky party and the Party Bunch!

Bet you will need a 7up....

After a hard days singing and riding in a hay wagon....you need a nice 7up!

Of course there is the hokiest guy with the banjo!

Most of the gals have their bouffant hairdos.

This is an ad from 1962.....before I was alive....but I remember people looking like that in old Lawrence welk reruns. They seem so goodie two shoes.

Looks like the lantern might catch them all on fire...scary!

Oops ...looks like I cut off a bit of the ad....my bad!

I love these Halloween ads however!

This spearmint ad is fun and a little strange....advertising the gum but also a cookie cutter you could send away for.  My dad always had this in his shirt pocket...he quit smoking and it helped him.  I always got some too.

Old Halloween yummies

 

Happy chilly autumn to ya!

Our temp went from 90's....to 50's in a flash....what's with this crazy weather?

I wanted to share some fun pictures with you....old Halloween ideas for goodies.

They are fun.... a little weird...and kooky.

These all come from cookbooks.

The pumpkin is cheerful....but totally different from the cakes from the magazines now.

I think you'll have to click on this to see it larger.....how to cut up a gumdrop to make a cat from a cupcake.  The pumpkin seems much easier....he he he.

 

This is my favorite....a dad with the kids....i guess mom is taking the pic because in real life mom would be in there.  It is super fun though. 

 

I remember people giving popcorn balls as treats on Halloween night....apples too.  One lady gave Popsicles (in Washington state?)...I loved that house.  One old man would give dimes....I was shocked.  This was the one time a year that the candy was all mine....we didn't have to share.  We lived in a home where the only snack was a nice piece of toast.  When my mom cooked...you got your portion and that was it....because it was gone.  So this trick or treat deal was major!

 

I used to inspect my daughters candy like I was an FBI agent.  She would only eat Hershey's and some nerds.  She didn't like candy.....I was always shocked and took over the candy and also bagged some up for her grandpa.  He loved getting these goodies (he is a thrifty Scotsman).

ThanKfuL...I am !

You've got to see these lovely items...just in time for our next holiday ...Thanksgiving (I know Veteran's day is next...I'm a vet and a lot of my family members are too!)

Be Thankful...a gorgeous etsy treasury!!!

These pumpkins are so beautiful!

When my eye caught the cookies...I wanted to eat them all!

What a great addition to your Thanksgiving dessert tray!

Banners...I love them....this is sweet simplicity.

Pretty....and right to the point

I love embroidery....you know that!

My sign...so orange

Imagine some yummy apple cider in that baby!

Ohhhh....so darned cute!

It is amazing how many reasons we can come up with to be thankful for....when I am down...I think of five reasons...always makes me feel better.

Who wouldn't want a card like this?  It is terrific

This shirt looks so soft and cozy.

Tags....another passion of mine....these are tugging at my heart.

Burlap...so cool

This ring is so pretty...love it!
Right now the leaves are just gorgeous here...some on the ground ...some still on the trees.  The sun is shining ....looks like another pretty day.
Have a great day!
