My Thank You Tag!!

 

Wanted to share my "Pretty In Pink" tag I made with you. This one is a thank you tag and her favorite color is pink. I make my own tags from manila folders that the city school was gonna throw out!! Oh no I can use them!! I cut them and then coffee dye them in my special mixture. They never turn out the same and I love that about them. I have been using my vintage typewriter that Sim got me for them and whatever I have around here. I love this pic and had a few printed out in my desk! So I had everything I needed. I miss going to the sales but I am trying to use what I have for everything right now. My studio is a mess and it's my own fault!! LOL Now I said it I gotta clean up so I can share pics with you. It is a very recycled/upcycled room and that is what I love about it!

I have made a few new things and have to put the finishing touches on them and then I can share them. Seems like I have been super busy and didn't think I had anything to share until now!! LOL

Peace out, XOXO Love ya, Fran. 

HIS eye is on the sparrow and you!!!

Wow it's been a long time!!!

I guess I've kinda been in a funk lately. I kicked my own butt physically but I am getting better. I lost a good friend to cancer very fast and his funeral was this week. His nic name was "The Harmonica Man" and his wife had one of the bands he played with do the music at his funeral. Our church was packed and the house was a rocking! What a tribute to a great man who will be missed greatly.

I thought I would show you the little owl candy holders I made out of toilet paper rolls a while back. They turned out so cute!!

 I want to show you guys the Halloween Shaker I won from Jill http://www.buckscountyfolkart.blogspot.com/. Her daughter Mary picked my name. There are better pictures on her blog. 

 She has opened a new etsy shop, http://www.buckscountyfolkart.etsy.com/, where she sells these wooden sewing thread spool ornaments and much more. Jill is self taught and very talented .

I feel so blessed and thankful to all of my blog friends. Such giving and caring talented ladies. Thanksgiving is a time to count your blessings and I count each and every one of you as a part of my blessings this year!

I am working like an elf getting ready to do more craft shows and a couple of Santa workshops at the schools. I will try to post more pictures of them as I do them. I am also trying to get to the cool sales the stores are already having!! I've been using alot of coupons I've gotten in the mail. Kaitlin and I have been doing our grocery shopping using coupons too. Our last trip to Krogers we saved $76.00. It is a great feeling to do it. It takes a little more time but well worth it. I hope you all are getting in on the savings too. But I don't think I will be getting up real early on Black Friday! LOL How about you? 

XO Fran.
