Sweet Treats Turkey

What do you think of a cute little Turkey with mini M&M to share????? I used the "Sweet Treats Cups" found in the Holiday Mini. In the inside I made a little hole using the slit punch so you can eat all the candy!!!! When I first saw this set, I thought to myself..."Self, I hate to go through all that work and have somebody rip it up!!!!! :(" but now that you can eat the candy & save the card....Well that's better. Click on the link for the tutorial:  http://mickeysplace.typepad.com/stamping_with_the_stars/2009/09/turkey-treats.htmlI use my sm. scallop punch for the feathers. In the tutorial she used the Scallop Circle # 2 which is not in my library......Yet. I can demo how to make this @ my next class if anybody has any queastions just E-mail me....


Votive Cover

I bought the "Mover & Shaper" Die quite awhile ago. I wasn't sure exactly what to do with it. Well how do you like what I finally came up with? A Voitve Cover! What a neat home made decoration idea. I saw this idea while blog surfing, change it around a little bit to fit what supplies I have at hand. I used "Tree Trimmings" stamp set and the "Merry Moments" cordinating DP. I used the "Movers & Shapers" Die to cut the windows out. And I stamped on Vellum in "Real Red & Garden Green". If you would like, to color in a stamp set for a more stained glass effect that looks equally beautiful!!

A little Change!

I hope you like new Colors on my Blog. It's always nice to change things up a little bit. One of the main reasons for the change was so I could have a special splace for my "Punch Art." If you look @ my sidebar underneath the "LOVE" blinki, you will see Punch Art Slideshow. Click on that and it will take you to my "Punch Art" book. If you have any problems please let me know. Hopefully you won't.......It took me all day to figure out. I have a lot,lot,lot more to add to the book so keep checking back. Remember, these are all made with SU! Punches. If you like wha tyou see let me know {it's nice to know all my hard work has paid-off wink}

1st Quarter Progress Reports!!!!!!!






Okay so I take full credit, No not full credit but I am patting myself on the back for a job well done! Nicole got her Progress Report grades for 1st Quarter.









  • Math B-



  • Computers A+



  • Science A



  • Social Studies C



  • Reading A



  • Writing C



  • Spelling A



  • Spanish A+



  • PE A



  • Art A






I am so very proud of her! This school is accelerated in Math & Science. They work 1 1/2 hrs on Math a day. And a lot of sentence structure and book reports....We didn't do in our H.M. Not to mention a BIG adjustment for everyone. I'm still trying to get used to not having a shadow :(. I seem to talk to myself and Sneakers a lot more. He sympathises with me. Lol. Well I went to "The Children's Place" the other day looking for some Church clothes for my child. Some jean skirts, not thinking I would really find anything but BIG surprise { and $150.00 later} they had everything I liked in Nicole's size. This must of been God sent because my card was down to "0" . My daughter got her Fall wardrobe that day. So this is what she looks like at the end of 1st Quarter of 3rd Grade in her new outfit. My Girly Girl, she's growing up so fast.

#1 Teacher


I know I have lots of deadlines to complete, I need to post this months class. I can't believe it's already Oct. We will be going to the "Pumpkin Patch" as soon as it opens! We {Nicole & myself} love to decorate a pumpkin. Nikki always comes up with GREAT ideas for the pumpkin theme. I guess I'm a little preoccupied. I created this basket out of the Sizzix Pillow Box Die Tutorial found here:



In side of the bag is filled with Reeses Peanutbutter candy, Mrs.Westwater's fav. That is Nicole's teacher. She's taken a special interest in Nicole education since she was Home Schooled. She realizes that Nicole hasn't had a lot of 2nd grade stuff & is kind to help her catch-up. So I thought I'd make her a special treat for "Happy Fri."! Let me know what you think.
