Now I have a lot to share and type...so you are forwarn here! I got the loveliest surprise from
http://theblessednest.blogspot.com/!!!!!! Stacey sent me an old Cherry flashcard! I love it Stacey! Thank-you so much...and my husband thanks you....rofl...I think he lost some hearing yesterday when I screamed with delight. I was lucky enough to win a few blog give-aways as of late and wanted to share them with you. I won a fun family vinyl decal from Carmen at http://callmethrifty.blogspot.com/ as you can see she also sent a long some beautiful Thanksgiving vintage type images..that I will def. be using in my crafts and a lovely home-made card. Thanks Carmen! Than as if that was not enough...Vanessa from http://www.vanessavalencia.com/afancifultwistblog.html sent me this sweet holiday house that I can't wait to frou frou up! I also was a proud recepient of a few of her gorgeous cards she makes herself....thank-you soooo much Vanessa! It has been like an early Christmas around here! I have been one spoiled little wench folks!
I wanted to also share a few of my projects...I made these "HOME" tags last night and set them in some old frogs. I think since I have been spending so much time at home....you spend less money that way...that word came to mind. Now if you know me in real life you would know that I can be a bit of a candle snob.....BUT.....I can't declare that anymore! I have fallen in love with a 2.00 little winner...made by............clearing of throat.....AGHAST....GLADE. YES>>> dear ones...I said it... GLADE. If I lose a few readers with those words..I will understand. Their fresh linen....smells I swear to the heavens just like Yankee's clean linen......I. KID. YOU. NOT. They also claim they have real bonafide essential oils....anywhoooo.....I have bought two and they smell great. Soooo I took off the GLADE label and made my own. Just wrapped old vintage sheet music around them and tied some jute and a pharmacy label around it. Now I can't stop there...I am on a roll....as I was about to recycle the packaging that the vinyl words came in...I had an Arsenio Hall moment........HMMMMM. So instead of recycling it I thought this could be SUMPTIN> I covered it with papers and changed out the ribbons and added and tweaked...and when Christmas gets closer I will put some greenery in it and hang it from a door knob. Now the box I got second hand a few weeks back. I was attracted to the metal knob and the little metal tab..and heck people I have a weakness for boxes anyways. The top just was not doin anything for me so I cut some fabric and covered it up and stamped photos and added it to the tab and the rest is history. Ohhh almost forgot...the pumpkin is made from paper as well. Cut in equal length strips. A hole in made on both ends and you pull ribbon through to make the shape. I actually won that from a Stampen Up party a few weeks back...very easy to make...I have the directions if anyone is interested. That is it for me...sorry soooooo stinkin lengthy. cherry

I find myself more and more inspired everyday by bloggers like yourself! What would I do without blog-land friends to "steal" ideas from?! These paper crafts are simply adorable! I love all the different types of banners people are making and this "home" one has got to be one of my favs! You're just super creative!
Oh my goodness girl! You actually made that with the wall word container that I sent?!?! That is awesome! Thanks for mentioning me in your post ;o) Can't wait to see when you apply your wall words! I still haven't put mine up yet...I just can't decide where exactly I want it! Nice job...you are so wonderfully creative!
Just picked up two Glade candles yesterday (used coupons and earnedd ECB's at CVS, woohoo).
My daughter's favorite scent is YC's Clean Linen so I'll be giving that one to her. The apple cinnamon is all mine though :).
You're just so creative and inspiring. Love every single bit of this post.
Wow, you got some nice stuff! I love your box and pumpkin! It looks quite simple to make. THanks for sharing. :o)
Love your projects...you always have the nicest pictures!
I have missed you. I am amazed by all your creations!!! Absolutely wonderful!!!
Really cute stuff:-)
Um, wow! I love your stuff! Your blog is delicious!
So glad you posted, now I'll have to add YOU my my blog rolls!
I'm off to check out your etsy shop!
Cherry this is my first time on your board, and I was awed with all of this eye candy! WOW! Just fabulous cuteness. I loved it all. I particularly love the tags in that first pic and those cupcake pictures on the cupcakes in that second one. Adorable!
Thanks for stopping by my board because it led me here, and BOY am I glad! :-)
XO,
Sheila
I have the "vinyl" letter box! I couldn't throw it out-now I am soo glad I didn't! I am going to do what you did-probably not as cute, but as close as I can get! What did you use to "stick" the paper on with?
Everything you did is AWESOME!
Cherry, You are not only talented but , man you are so LUCKY. You won some great goodies. The Home tags are exceptional, as is the box. My hubby and I too have a thing for boxes. You just can't have too many, can you? Have a fun evening with your goodies.
Jean in Virginia
Congrat's on your prizes Cherry. And your projects look great as usual. I knew you were up to something. :-)
Wow Cherry! You have been busy making some wonderful treasures! My favorite (I guess, I love everything) is the home sign/tags. May have to copy u!!!
YOU rock! I am so inspired after that post!
I just love coming to your blog & seeing your arrangements & creative projects. You are such an inspiration!
So many gorgeous things...wow! I love the button gift tags and the little skate is so sweet!
~Kelli
Your blog is so full of fun things to look at :)
You are so creative. I love what you did with the container. What a great gift container!!!
Cherry, you have the most wonderful projects. I'm just figuring out how to use the Google Reader (thanks Amy from www.WhisperwoodCottage.blogspot.com for showing me how to do this) so I'm catching up on all my favorite bloggers. I would love to see you post some of them on JunkMarket Style (www.junkmarketstyle.com). You do such amazing things! Thanks for helping get our creative juices flowing!
