It has definitely been a while since I posted on this blog! Life happens! Been busy with our new granddaughter, family visiting, our son has been home for the summer, the list goes on! But I did find time to scrap through all this! I made this Mother Goose Paper Bag Mini Album using MySistersscrapper method, Graphic 45's Mother Goose Paper and the Cricut Nursery Rhyme Cartridge. Great fun - this was one of my favorite books as a child. The album is listed on my etsy store - <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/CreatedbyLenore">https://www.etsy.com/shop/CreatedbyLenore</a>.<br />

It was a beautiful day, but there were also several other shows that Saturday, so needless to say, I didn't fare too well - didn't even make up the entry fee. Then, three weeks ago, I entered my second show with much anticipation since the venue was larger and the only one that weekend. Well, Mother Nature decided to rain on my parade. Actually, as my grandma would say, it came a gully-washer. The show started at 9:00 a.m - at 9:05, the heavens opened and poured down rain ALL day. I made one sale, and three hours later, decided to pack it up and go home (as was everyone else).<br />
<br />
So what was I to do with all these Halloween and Thanksgiving treat boxes I had filled with candy? I didn't know if they would survive a year in storage, so I sent them with my husband to his office for his co-workers to enjoy. And from that I have received orders that I probably would not have gotten otherwise with orders waiting in the wings for Christmas.<br />
<br />
Instead of my glass being half-empty, I choose to say the rain was a blessing. God is so good all the time.<br />
<br />
Here is a pic of the order I made for Thanksgiving treat boxes using my Cricut Expression, Create A Critter and Home for the Holidays cartridge. The pumpkin pie slices are a CCR file from Cricut.com.<br />

They told us they were going to make us first time grandparents in February!<br />
<br />
We are so excited and last week they found out it is going to be a little girl!! And I'm going to have a namesake! They have decided to name her "Nora Kathryn" - my immediate family has always called me Nora since I was a little girl. I am so honored and humbled. I hope I can be the grandmother that she deserves and like my Grandma Jessie was to me.<br />
<br />
We are blessed.<br />

My house looks like a craft show!! Maybe I should just open my front door and put up a sign! LOL!<br />
<br />
I found a new type of "yarn" at Joann's the other day - and it is absolutely beautiful! It it made by Premier Yarns and is called "Starbella Flirt". It has a chiffon fabric on one side and the loops on the other and it becomes a perfect weight for the warmer weather we have down here in southern Alabama! I've already made 3 and hopefully will get a few more made before the 28th.<br />
