Thanksgiving Table

I love this blog. I was a little slow catching on to how fun TomKat's products are. She has this Thanksgiving set that would be so fun for your Thanksgiving. I think I may get it for ours. She even has a free printable for the little ones. I can totally picture my nieces loving this! So I thought I would share this blog with you so you can become a fan. She has amazing ideas and is quite popular. Enjoy!

Check out this website too! I love twine, it is all the rage! So much fun!

It's Getting Chilly.........

Progress

I have 9 bracelets left, if you would like one they are 38$ each. Just let me know, I am also making new ones daily. I can take special orders for you too. Just leave me a comment and let me know what you are looking for.

Big News!

At least for me! I am participating in another boutique next weekend. November 18th-20th in Gilbert. I will post more details as I know them. It is a great boutique and I am honored that I was able to get in at this short of notice.

I am also going to be at a boutique at the Salon Spectrum in Scottsdale December 2nd and 9th. Very exciting, but I must say I am going to be busy. Woo hoo!

Hope you are well!

Grateful.....with picture added

It went so well this weekend. I feel renewed. Washed away are all of my insecurities and doubts. Gone, hopefully for good is the anxiety and I can breathe. I have a picture to post of my booth but I am in a hurry so I will post it later this afternoon. I am grateful to you my readers who are mostly my family and friends for all of your encouragement, love and support. It makes me want to keep creating. Which is what keeps me healthy, so thank you.

Here is a little inspiration that has helped me get through these past few months. We had a lesson on this talk a few months ago. It's good wonderful wisdom for women, no matter what faith. Love you.

Almost There......

Ugh......eyeyieye......I am so close but yet have so far to go. This is what my space looks like....yuck.

not so pretty, yet.

These turned out amazing. It was a lot of work but the final product. So neat.

I have a few more bracelets to make, waiting for a shipment....it came last night. I didn't get the door.....darn it. I really needed the parts. I was in the zone. I get that way, do you?

The Old Painted Cottage

I love this blog. Jen inspires me. Her taste is so soft and subtle, I love her love of industrial vintage. In fact, her blog is where I learned that term....industrial vintage. Love that stuff. Check out her blog. She is having a contest to give away this bag! I love it! I am feeling a little lovey today. I need to be feeling less lovey and more busy! I have lots of lil errands to do! Pshaw! Come on Aim- you can do it!




I am getting less ancy and more excited about the show this weekend. For some reason I have had MAJOR anxiety about it. Tons of self doubt smothered with inadequacies. It has not been fun. My poor friends have had to coddle me double time! Fortunately, those feelings are slowly clearing away and I am feeling a lil more confident. I will be posting pictures soon to show the finished products.

XOXO~ Mamie

We trunk or treated on Saturday, then on Sunday we had our Primary Program at church, I am the chorister and am sooooooo relieved that went off with out a hitch!

We finished the fabulous weekend with phone calls from Meg's, yummy white chili, visits from Holland, Scott's nephew who recently moved to the valley. Jorgensen's our funniest friends stopped by, then we crashed our friend's home who make the yummiest treats called buffyboys, they are like scones and are delicious!
