Valentine cards

I'm working on valentine cards.Some for friends and family. I became interested because of a craft newsletter i recieve. They offered a Valentine card swap,which I've never done before. I have read about different swaps going on through other crafters,but wasn't sure how it was done. I will get my names on Friday,who I send my cards too. I have one done,still trying to think of design for 2 others. I hope the recipient will like it!

Contest going on at One Hoppy Place, its a quilting blog,so if thats what you enjoy,stop by and follow the instructions.

Mission trip

I'm leaving Saturday for Guatemala.Its a medical mission trip. 10 of us are going.There are only 2 women going,so should be interesting! I will work in the pharmacy,gathering the meds that the docs prescribe. I'm looking forward to hearing the local church memebers pray in their beautiful quiche voices, raised in supplication to the Lord for their fellow Indians. Its awesome!

Bible study

Today starts the new Beth Moore study So Long Insecurity. Are you participating? I've never been an insecure person,but have felt insecure in who I am recently,maybe its the winter. I'm looking forward to participating in the Living Proof blog with other women.

I'm still figuring out how to do this blog!
My husband made a cornhole game for my daughter. Its a beanbag game,that you toss bags (that are filled with corn) into the hole.The game is supposed to be 70 ft from where you toss the bag. If you have a friend with a corn hole, you compete as teams.
I made a wreath for a co-worker. She saw the star shaped wreath in my Martha Stewart magazine,said "Can you make that for me." I did,my first evergreen wreath ever to make! One area was a little too thick,but toward the end i was getting the hang of it.
I stitched the sampler for my oldest daughter. The navtivity scene is made from wool felt. I had the directions,cut out each individual peace,and made the hanging piece that they are placed on. I made a pillow for my stepmom that I forgot to take a picture of it when she opened it. I messed up on the directions,so I want to make another one,the way its supposed to look. I cut part of the pillow 2 1/2 inces too short,so i had to adjust the size,and the pillow is smaller than it was designed to be. Everyone liked their gifts. My daughter Laura made some gifts she saw on the SYTC blog,they turned out well.Its so nice to recieve something homemade. she also made us some cinamon-raisen bread,which i put in the freezer for now!
I hope your Christmas was full of blessings. Mine was wonderful,spent with family.

Completed craft room.

I bought this picture while in Amish country.I also bought the frame, and made this arrangement.

My bookcase,full of scrapbook supplies. I gave my daughter 2 boxes full of craft supplies!

The room is finished.Hubby was a trooper,the hardwood floor (actually laminate flooring) was a bit of a challenge. He persevered and installed it! The one thing that I might rearrange is the clock,and little bulletin board. I measured,put in the nails,andthen somehow they were too close. Oh well. I had a brilliant idea for my picture board. I bought some coarkboard squares,a frame and some foam board. I put it all together for an upgraded bulletin board! I love this room! Its quite the transformation.It had the original tan builders paint on it,gray carpet,and a cluttered mess. My next project is a sewing project,so I need to get moving! Christmas is closing in on me,and I have some sewing projects to get done.
