The Strange Ribbon Obsession
I'll get to that in a minute...
But first,
These are some things that I have been working on.
See that first one up in the left hand corner?
Well I really didn't like that head on that one,
so the rest sort of got beheaded.
Sure like them better that way.
Tried this, not sure if I like it.
And these stars.
JWS came home to find them pinned to a board
drying on the kitchen counter.
His comment?
"It's not like you don't have enough areas to craft in this house,
is this what it had come to?
You now take over the kitchen counter?"
Just short of the frustration he had when he found them drying on a
baker rack on top of the wood burner.
And now on to the topic of discussion.
Four or five years ago,
I asked JWS to stop and get me curling ribbon
while he was in town.
Red
Curling
Ribbon.
He went to Joann's and bought $75 worth of ribbon.
So proud that he had got a deal,
I still have tons of ribbon.
Then in a moment of weakness on Saturday.
Not thinking of the outcome,
I asked him to stop at Michael's to pick up this.
A couple of paper palettes.
You see, the little angel boys next door
must have decided that my $8
palette
would make good drawing paper
and wrote their name
on the rest of the
sheets.

Logan....
When do they do these things?
And...
here is what he came home with...
So proud of himself!
Anyone need any high glitter leopard skin bows?
Please!!!!
But wait, that's not all.
You say,
"Why Cathy, is that a five foot pre-lit tree
on your dining room table?"
and I would have to say
"Why, Yes, it is."
Very Calmly.
He was so proud.
I put up five trees this year.
He, apparently thought I needed another one.
When will I learn?
And this great surprise...
Saturday, I went to get the mail.
No mail, but I looked on the front porch and there was a package.
So excited!
I love packages.
Sandi,
at
sent this to me.
I love it all!
There was some Peppermint Bark that did not make it to the picture.
Hmmm.
Back to these stars.
I sure hope that they are good sellers at the Open House this year.
I am so addicted to making them right now.
Off to mix up more starch!
I hope that all of you have a very
Happy New Year.
I have so enjoyed getting to know all of you.
I love all of your kind comments!

Glad you liked your package I sent.
Love all the new goodies you made.
You certainly have been busy.
Oh my, that's alot of ribbon, and Leopard too! That's quite the hubby you have!
Happy New Year to you!
Sorry can't help with the animal print ribbon! lol Love your new tree maybe you can use the ribbon on it.
had to laugh at that last ribbon he bought. I'm sure you will do something fabulous with it. I used to have my crafts all over the house too. I even put paintings in the oven to dry with the pilot light.
On another note....I was at Michael's a couple of days ago with gift cards. I looked for palette paper and asked...they told me that they weren't carrying it anymore.I love to use this paper and thought I would investigate further, but haven't so far.I bought a round, covered, plastic palette...with those sheets inside. I have no idea how to use it, however. I'll have to experiment.
Happy crafting...your things are always wonderful.

Warmest wishes for 2012!

Gotta love it when the husbands shop for us. I did a post before Christmas showing the hand mixer my hubby ran out and bought when mine died in the middle of cookie baking!
