cookies, anyone?

Well, here is my attempt at felt cookies. I am NOT a sewer, I think that's pretty obvious. But they did come out pretty cute and I do want to make more stuff. I just used the felt I had laying around for these two.

As I write this it is 73­º outside. I'm sitting here with my window open and I can see Lookout Mountain, I can hear tons of different birds tweeting and singing. It's pretty awesome. I know some people just can't imagine Christmas without snow, but I LOVE living here! Being able to go out barefoot in December rocks. It just does.

new location

I moved my blog because I figured the old name would be stupid next year so might as well move it now. So here we are! I have really been inspired over the last few weeks so hopefully you'll be seeing lots of updates from now on. I actually whipped something up today that turned out pretty cute...stay tuned for pics!

more new books

I moved, and now I have my own craft room. I've spent a LOT of time in there the past few days, and this is what I've come up with! I made another Christmas book and another little girly one. I really like the way both of them came out. They're both in my etsy shop :)

new books!

I was finally able (and movtivated) to finish these two books I've been working on FOREVER.

I tried something new this time and rounded the corners of my bags. I guess it looks cute, but I don't think I'll do it again. It was an experiment! It wouldn't stay closed so I added red ribbons to the sides. I think it makes it look more Christmas-y, like a little present! I didn't use a traditional cardinal red/hunter green color scheme in this book. My inspiration for the whole thing was this one piece of paper from basic grey's dasher line. I love the olive green, pale blue and pinks-not your regular Christmas stuff! :)


The second book is a girly one-yay! For some reason I was imagining pictures of a girl who is in 2nd or 3rd grade going in it...I don't know any 2nd or 3rd graders so I'm not sure why! It's got three spots for journaling and little bits of sparkle here and there. Not too girly, just enough!

Cute Christmas Ideas

These hand towels are from shanalogic.com and they're super cute! They're also $18.50 each! WTF! I would never pay that much for a hand towel but if someone else wants to, more power to ya.


And for something completely different, this delicate and beautiful handmade wall hanging is from stink bone jones! Is that a fun shop name or what? It's a personalized gift-and they're only $10. She also does these gorgeous hand painted onesies...and they're for boys! I'm always excited to find something fun and handmade for little boys. It does not happen every day!



I LOVE this pillow! I'm way too old to be having stuff that says "Princess" laying around, but the colors & fabrics are just SO YUMMY!!!! It's by Molly McCormick and I want it.


This pretty jewelry organizer is from Urban Outfitters and it's only $20. I'm always detangling necklaces so I might have to add this one to my personal wish list. It's online only btw.


Okay I don't even play video games and this makes me want to start. It's a pink Wii! It's under $100 w/free shipping from light in the box. That site has some really great bargains!

new 12x12 layouts

I've actually been scrapping for myself the past couple days. I haven't done that in a loooong time; I'm usually either working on custom orders or stuff for my etsy shop. Now that I have a couple of layouts done I'm itching to print out more pics and keep going!

I'm so bad about updating this blog! But I have pictures to share so that's always a good thing. This is my latest custom album, Shae & Carson. I used almost all My Mind's Eye paper so the whole thing is textured and yummy. It's kind of a challenge to do a boy/girl book but I love it!

I just tried to add more pictures to this post but blogger is being weird and I have to get dinner going, so you can see ALL the pictures on my myspace, myspace.com/craftedbyjenn
