Cereal anyone?

Ok, so bad... but so cute!

There cute..... REALLY!!

OK, so this is what my girls do when there board waiting for there dad to tie things to the top of the car. Totally a Kodak moment in our family!
p.s. SO HAPPY to be blogging again!!! YEAH FOR TIME!!!

I am finally finished!

All my orders for Kelly's Crafty Creations are finished!!! YEAH!! I am blessed with wonderful friends who have given me great items to make and some extra income for the tough winter season! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!
I am SO looking forward to the new year. We have a lot of challenges going on right now but with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!!
Please be in prayer for my daughter Kayla's eyes. She is unable to see up close to read or write right now and they have no idea why. She will be getting an MRI in January to rule out anything there, and then she will be off to a Nero Opthamologist. We are all concerned but are holding on to Christ for His guidance here.
With not being able to see to read or write, it has REALLY created a challenge for us to come up with new way to homeschool effectively. Does anyone have ANY idea's? So far we can do some things on a large white board I have as long as she sits all the way on the other side of the room...( for now her far sight is ok... it is dropping though, so that needs prayer to). My fantastic friend Shelley also is sharing some Math U SEE DVD's with us which Kayla enjoys... it's just the dvd's, no book work, but it is keeping math in her brain and that is better then nothing for sure. I was also thinking about ways to try to hook up the computer to the tv screen so they could do some school games that way... Any help would be GREATLY appreciated:)
My husband was laid off early this year, so please also be in prayer for Him and his job. He is hoping to possible get a new job in January but it is totally up to the Lords willing, so we are both trying to just be in peace about whatever he decides.

I hope you all have a wonderful time celebrating the Lords birth this year. Sometimes it's hard not to get sucked in to all the commercialism at this time of year. I pray that we all can keep our focus on the true reason to celebrate, the birth of our saviour!!
God bless!

New crafts I've been making....

Here are a few things I have been making lately. Will be putting them up on the CUSTOM ORDERS page ofKelly's Crafty Creations. Enjoy!
Tissue paper holder

Travel Tic-Tac-Toe game

This is a great game for in the car! I made this with felt on one side so the pieces would "stick" and not fall all over the car. It folds up nicely to close the outer pocket of pieces:)

This one is made from recycled jeans and green felt.

Folds out into a fun board!

And here are the pieces... I did circles and squares for these.

Time for a girly one!



This is a really nice patchwork bi-fold wallet!

It has places for 12 cards and two long pockets behind those for bills, receipts etc...

It also has a zipper for change!! I'm starting to really get this zipper thing finally!


Magnetic button finishes it off! I REALLY like this.... what do you think about these new crafts???

New CUSTOM ORDER page on Kelly's Crafty Creations!

I've recently added a new page to my craft blog. This page will be for all CUSTOM ORDERS. This way, everyone can see what other people are thinking up! Custom orders are so much FUN for me. I love to create new things and see peoples faces when then get to hold the picture in their minds, in their hands!!! Take a look over at Kelly's Crafty Creations. If you come up with something you or someone you know would like, email me here and let's make something new!

He's just, just, well, SO CUTE!

Soap making with friends!

Diaper Wreath!!

This is a fun idea I saw on some web sight. The lady who made hers used a craft wreath you can buy at any craft store, this one is done with a wire hanger!! So fun, just open the diaper, put the wire inside and tie the diaper with a ribbon. Squish as many as you can on there and then decorate with toys, ribbon, stuffed animals!! Whatever you like!! This one was made for my good friend Paulette's baby shower!! LOVE YA Paulette!!!!

Long time no post!!

Hi all!! Sorry it's been so long!! These last two weeks I have been doing some serious SERIOUS crafting to get enough crafts ready for a show a friend asked me to do in her stead. Today was the first day of the show!! It was fun and I had many customers!! I felt a little like the girl who wore jeans to the fancy ball with all those long time crafters with all there expensive items, but, still, it was fun and I got a lot of very sweet comments about my crafts! Here are some photos of the booth, I will try to get up photos of the individual items soon on this blog and Kelly's Crafty Creations!
