Fundraiser for the LAM Foundation!

As most of you already know, I was diagnosed with LAM a few years ago. It has been a bit of a roller coaster since then, but through it all, the LAM Foundation has always provided unmeasurable support and has been instrumental in their ongoing fight for a treatment and cure for LAM. UPDATE: I have extended the fundraiser for one more month! From January 1-29, 2012 From February 1-29, 2012, I am donating 20% of all sales from an online gathering to the LAM Foundation. Since this is an online gathering, it is easy for everyone to browse and purchase whatever they want and have it shipped directly to them.

Here is the link to a web page with all the details, where you can start shopping right away and even invite a friend: Fundraiser for the LAM Foundation.

I have also created a few cards to share for some ideas on what you could create, complete with a list of supplies (simply click on the image for more information). Each card has a basic version as well as a version with more of a creative kick. I hope you enjoy them!

























If you have any questions on how any of these cards were made, don't hesitate to ask. There are a few items which are retiring at the end of January, so make sure to order what you want while you can. I did update the supply lists to reflect what items did retire at the end of January. Again, please ask if you have any questions!!!

The 12 Days of Christmas Specials!

The 12 Days of Christmas Specials are in full swing! We're going to have fun with a different special every day until Christmas Eve. You can participate in one or all of the specials, but you'll have to let me know THAT day if you want the special (via phone or email).

IMPORTANT: At the end of The 12 Days of Christmas Specials, I will total your entire order for you. If there are enough orders for Hostess Rewards, I will also draw for Hostess Goodies. If your name is drawn, you'll have until Thursday, December 29th to let me know what you want for your goodies in order to get everyone's orders placed in a timely manner.

Don't forget to check your email (if you're not on my email list and would like to be, just let me know) or this blog to see what the daily 12 Days of Christmas Special is!!!

Twelfth Day of Christmas special: Saturday, December 24th!

Have a wonderful holiday season!

It's Christmas Gifts time!!!

We've been busy making some homemade Christmas gifts, which of course, I can't really share too much. However, we did give Kyle's librarian her gift already so I can share those! I help out at the library in the elementary, and one day I was helping her trim her tree and decorate a bit for Christmas. She didn't seem to have any ornaments that were for reading or books, so Kyle and I decided she needed some little "books" for her tree.







We ended up making her five little book ornaments. Kyle selected all the series to include: Harry Potter, Fablehaven, Redwall, Magic Tree House, and Percy Jackson. :-) They turned out so cute! They are a miniature book made from a small pad of sticky notes! Then I just raided my scrap paper drawer to decorate them up. If you'd like to make some mock little books, the directions I used can be found here. Here is a shot of the entire tree with our book ornaments on them.



I'll try to share some more as gifts are handed out to the recipients!
