Love Family Gatherings!

Happy Holidays  Everyone!!!
I decided at the last minute to defrost my 20lb. Turkey and host a family party. We missed the Thanksgiving Family dinner and went to a friends instead this year, so I was really missing family. In all there was about 16 of us in my little country home but we had lots of fun. I made jello shots for the 1st time..he he and boy were they good. The others had a good game of Boggle going on, while I was trying to get skype on my computer to include my favorite Soldier and his family. It filled me with so much joy to be able to see my son Sean and his family on the computer. I cannot wait until he comes home in January...I have not hugged my oldest son in almost 2 years. I miss him deeply!
The morning after the party was a little tough. I stayed up unusually late and might have had a few drinks too many for me. After a while I realized that the headache I was having was on top of my head and the pain was raidiating down my face and I had a tingling on the whole side of my face for the entire day. I then woke up with it again the next day but the numbness was not as bad. Today I still have a headache....yuk!
I have only a few more things to shop for but just haven't been up to doing much of anything. Not sure if it has anything to do with the 6 injections I have been taking in my foot for the Neuroma but I think I am done with those. It isn't working and it hurts to walk so surgery is the next step. Blah blah blah...don't want to sound like I am whining!
 I am very excited for Christmas, especially when I look at my 3y/o daughter and see the excitement in her face when we talk about Santa coming. I love driving around in the car with her and listening to her ohhh and ahh at the different lights and decorations on people's houses.
I have no new creations to post as I have decided to relax until the New Year and then I will have lots of new things for you!
Thanks for Reading,

Trying to think positive

Hello Everyone,

My day started out terrible. I woke up this am and my computer screen was black and in desperation I tried everything I knew to fix it but could not. I called a the first person I could think of to help fix the problem. He won't have a chance to look at it until Monday but I did not have anything backed up. I lost all of my family photo's and years of graphics for my business and scrapbooking...I am trying to stay positive that he may be able to save everything but I shed a lot of tears first! I learned a tough lesson today...just yesterday I was telling my husband that I need some time on the computer to back things up because if we lost it we would be devastated...should have done it at that very moment...
Keep your fingers crossed for me and I will keep you posted.
As always Thanks for Reading!
Jen

So Tired Lately!

Hello all of my faithful followers and any other blog skimmers who have taken the time to read this!!
I have been so tired lately! I did burn the midnight oil for a few weeks but jeez, I just can't seem to catch up again. I think it could be the thought of knowing that I have no more craft shows coming up too. My though process now is to get the house clean for the Holidays and relax with family and friends, but it seems that my body has other plans. My little Princess has not been feeling well either with a stomach virus of sorts.

I got a nice big custom order for a little girls birthday party from my last show. I finally got it finished today..I hope she likes them

I them thought well while I have the stuff out I might as well work on some others..so here is a cute little Hello Kitty Fairy Pendant I did.

 I am going to focus on the website and make changes and add more products...Please come on over and check them out: http://www.logcabincrafters.com/

Until Next Time, Thanks for Reading

Getting Excited for the BIG MAN in RED!!!

I stayed up late last night working on another Wall Plaque. I love making them but this is only the second one so I am still not very confident in my work yet. What do you think?

I am not exactly sure what to charge for them either...I am thinking maybe $6 - $8? Anyway, I was shopping and saw this beautiful wreath and I really wanted it but it was $30 and lets face it I think like a crafter...hmmm I can make that! So I grabbed myself a plain wreath and well...WALA here it is

I think it turned out okay! On my last post I promised I would add a picture of my Prim Mart Ornie Swap Tree, So here it is: 

Sorry it isn't the best picture but the Ornaments are so beautiful and everyone involved is so talented.

I decided to share some of my Holiday Decorating pics with you...I LOVE Elves...
