Wow, It's Been A Long Time! Happy New Year!!!

Gosh, I can't believe it has been since mid Oct since I posted! I have been busy creating, creating Christmas gifts. So I kept very busy. Didn't feel like so much time had passed though, I guess time flies when you are having a good time. lol 

Anyway I'm here to share the gifts that I have made for Christmas this year. So it will be pic heavy. First off are coasters I made with infusible ink from Cricut. They came out pretty good so I was pleased. They were well received thankfully.

Next  up are faux cigar boxes I made into stationary boxes. I made three, have one left to make. Will save that one for a birthday gift or something. They are all decorated differently outside. The insides are the same, just decorated to match the outside. A dozen cards, a pen, a date folio, tags-large and small, and envelopes are what is inside each one. These took me a long time to complete. 

These are shirts and a sweatshirt I made. The shirts are foil iron on-silver on the gray and gold on the navy shirt, the sweatshirt I used flocking iron on-it's nice and fuzzy feeling. Love how they turned out. 

Next up is a blanket I used gray infusible ink on from Cricut. You can see the lines of where my heat press was, but that will go away. They weren't as noticeable with the naked eye. Thought this came out cute too. This was given with the Faith shirt and sweatshirt. 

I also made some signs from wooden plaques. Here are a couple of them. I used Dollar Tree florals to decorate them. I used white chalk paint to paint the inside of the frame, and a gel paint to "stain" the outside of the frame. Some vinyl and that is it. I loved how these came out as well. 

I also did some picture frames with vinyl and chalk paint. Forgot to get any photos of them though. I intend to make more, so hopefully I won't forget to take a photo once done! I think that is it. When looking at it on this post, doesn't look like I did to much, but sure felt like I did! lol 

So these are things that kept me from posting, visiting and commenting. I hope to get back on track with all that here now that the holidays are over. As always I'm so appreciative of you all and know how blessed I am to have you all in my blogging, email, mailing life! I also appreciate you taking time to stop in and visit with me here. Again, I know blessed I am! I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas and that your New Year is off to a great start!!!
