Animal Cracker Box

So I was able to craft again this weekend!! Yippee!! I made this box almost the size of a animal cracker box so thats what I decided to call it. I made this box of goodies for Denise who I met at the Town Center this weekend to drop off a Cricut cartridge to her. Had fun creating this yesterday and hope to make more. My sisters and I are working on making 60 HELLO KITTY explosion boxes for a 1 year old birthday party. Hopefully we won't EVER have to make this again!! It takes toooo long and alot of WORK. What were she thinking??? It's fun though but too much work involved. I will take some pics of them after we are done. We hope to finish with it real soon!! Have a Great Day!!

Create a Critter Notepads

So I've finally got the chance to play around in my craft room! It's been a long time since I've created something and decided to try to get back into it again. I recently got the "Create a Critter" cartridge and thought this would be a great idea to make some notepad covers with the critters. I used 5 x 7 notepads for this but still need to figure the sizes of the critters to fit on the pad. I'm having a little fun with it and can't wait until the weekend. I will be making about 50 of these for the kids for our company picnic and adding some crayons with some other goodies for them. I hope the kids will like these and Thanks for stopping by! Have a Great rest of the week!

Purses, Purses, Purses

I am so sorry if my pictures are not as clear since I seem to have misplaced my camera charger somewhere in my craft room. I rearranged and cleaned up and can't find it. Hopefully it'll show up so in the mean time I am using my cell phone to take the pics. Anyway, I made a couple more purses for Mother's Day. I also made this accordian purse that I saw on Maria's blog. It was a fun all day craft day for me on Mother's Day so I ended up sewing a Dora dress for my granddaughter and made these purses. I will definitely do a tutorial for the smaller purse as soon as I can locate my camera charger because the battery is dead at the moment. Thank you for stopping by today and have a Great Week! Hope all you moms had a great day!

Mother's Day boxes for the girls

Since Mother's Day is on Sunday I made a few purses for my friends at work. Included in the boxes were some "Hello Kitty" Jelly Bellies in a box that I got from Price Busters and some chocolate macadamia hershey kisses. I also forgot to take a picture of them at home so I had to gather them back again at work so I could take a pic of it. I will try to do a tutorial of this. I am not really good at it but I'll try to do it this weekend. The measurements are 3-1/2" w x 3" h x 1-1/2" d. I measured it according to the jelly belly box so it could fit inside with the other candies. They turned out really cute and they loved it. Have a great rest of the day and to all mother's I hope you all have a "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY" on Sunday.

Butterfly Bags and Hello Kitty Bag

Here is the Hello Kitty" bag that I sewed that I mentioned in a previous posting. Hello Kitty fabric is not the easiest to find these days but I was lucky to have found this print online and ordered it. I will be including this for the winners of my Blogaversary! I hope they like it.

Yesterday I went to a brunch at the Bird of Paradise at the Hawaii Prince Golf Club in Ewa with my family. All my sisters, brother, our spouses and our kids are all invited to join us and we try to a have a monthly get together and go to a different Sunday brunch every month. It's been really fun to see who has the best Sunday brunch. So far I like the Pagoda Sunday Brunch the best. Anyway I made these butterfly bags for all the mothers for Mothers day and filled them with chocolate macadamia hersheys. We end our day with going shopping after brunch all day!

"Professional Administrative Assistant's Day" Purse Card

Wow another post for the second time this week. I know that "Professional Assistant's Day" was on the 21st which was yesterday but today is when the card had to be done because she comes back to work today. So last minute that I am did it late last night. I wanted to do something really simple but I saw this while surfing the blogs and wanted to try it myself. I need to make another again so I can have a template for myself and maybe make a few changes. I hope she likes it.... Have a Great Day today!!

Tissue holder and card

Sorry I've been MIA for sometime now. I know I posted earlier that I will be sending a blog candy out soon. I accidently deleted the post rather than editing it. It's coming soon..I just need to finish a few things like finish reorganizing my craft room then I will post it real soon. I'm finally getting it done and had to take a day off from work to do this last Friday.

Anyway, I made this quick card for a friend who moved to the mainland and is still doing cards and wanted to share some images with her. I haven't done cards for awhile since getting distracted making other paper crafts and also sewing. My stash of birthday cards, thank you cards & just because cards is getting really low so I need to replenish it soon. Secretary's day is this week and I need to make it tonight for tomorrow! Thank you all for stopping by and Have a Great Day!

I wanted to also show you this really cute Hello Kitty tissue holder that I got online. It's giving me an idea to make of fabric tonite too! What do you think? Sorry about the background, kinda distracting but I took the picture in front of my computer and didn't realize the icons were going to show up.

The bag lady is back again!

I guess I can definitely be called the bag lady. Here I am again making bags! This time its not made of paper. I guess you can use it for almost anything like make up, coins, toothbrush & toothpaste or anything you want. I have a lot of fabric that I decided to make use of and made these trinket bags with a zipper and zipper pull. I initially wanted to make a pencil case but I measured it too short so I guess I can't put pencils in it and maybe just pens. Anyway Thanks for stopping by today and Have a Great Weekend!
