Happy Birthday to me!!

There will be lots of cake today and maybe some glitter I hope...I got a chocolate cake with whip cream frosting , have you ever tried it? it's yummy!

And some flowers for me becuse I love them so and always have and peonies are my favorite of all....Just don't ask how old I am ... he!he!

Something pretty...

Here is the lampshade I created for the newest issue of somerset Home ..I decided to add it to my shop..it is packed full of vintage ribbon and trims and tied there with two old millinery flowers..the old wire lampshade is just as sweet as can be..and a pretty aqua knit stocking..is this perfect for christmas or what?? I love the hanging pom poms...

And you can also find these lovely angels I added to my shop as well ..the angel images are on both sides

And who doesn't love these sweet little glittered churches.. they just are so pretty and can really be used all year ..not only for christmas... You can find all the goodies here

And last but not least ..here is what I made fo sew Somerset which I also added to my little shop... this is extremely pretty ..I just love it...I finally feel like I got something done today??? How about you???

A little Inspiration...

A little inspiration can be found in this pile of clippings from a few years worth of magazines I had decided to tear out my favorites and make one inspiration book .. There all still loose clippings and pages tucked into a binder....I have been working on some cute little Christmas pretties to show soon... I'm feeling a little late this year when usually i am working on Christmas as early as July but better late than ever...

Check out this fabulous issue of Sew Somerset ...You can see sneek peaks inside at stampington.com ... I created something really pretty for this issue ..out of vintage french labels and old ephemera with stitches sewn about ...Theres just something about sewn paper that I just love ....

And I've been on the road a bit this winter .And as you can see we don't go anywhere with out my favorite Starbucks Christmas blend...I love it and usually buy enough of it to last me till March or so.. and what is it about there red cups that really get you in the Christmas spirit???

Anywho...... I look foward to posting my glittery little churches next time... I just love all that sparkles and anything loaded with glitter...
