Dollie Done

I finally got the dollie done for Tarynn's friend. It was going along with the black & pink pop-up album. She came out so cute. She is so tiny all of 5" total. I hope she likes the gifts. I even added a pic of the tag I made. I thought it was cute. LOL

I'm throwing in another picture of a kitty doll that I started when we were living in Idaho. I unpacked her & want to finish up her last details. She was fun to do. I completely painted her face which was a little different than my usual stitching of the features. I will take some more pics of her once she is complete.

I am about half way done with the giveaway prizes...yes you read it right...PRIZES (plural).

I wanted to do both of these projects so I figured why not. I haven't decided if one lucky person will get both or if I will draw two names.....you know, spread the wealth. Hahaha So make sure you keep checking back for the giveaway to be posted.

I had a family medical emergency that slowed things down a bit but everything is good & we are trying to get back on track.

Going to make those pumpkin muffins today along with the lattes (from my last post). I will let you know how they come out.

It has been raining here for the last two days....and I mean pouring. I love the rain & it makes me want fall/winter to get here even more. Now, if I could just get the cold weather to go along with rain, we would be doing good. Here in the south you just get more humidity & bugs. Blek!

Well I'm off to bake & craft. ~Toodles

WLS Update

I wanted to update everyone on my weight loss since surgery. It has been five months & I have lost 50lbs. I am extremely excited. It does seem a little slow, but I really cant complain. My goal now that we moved is to get active. I really need to walk & swim. So I will be scouting out some areas where I can accomplish that. My hubby takes pics every month to see my progression. Unfortunately, the shirts I have been wearing were very blousy & you couldn't see that much of a difference. I decided to take this months pic in a tighter fitting t-shirt *gasp*. I never wear anything like this. It makes me super uncomfortable but I wanted to see the difference it would make. So here is a pic before surgery (red/wht shirt) compared to 3 days ago in the black shirt.

Well not much more going on. Will be working on my Halloween Tag Book today & starting the Blog Giveaway Gift. Yay! Have a wonderful holiday weekend. Be safe. ~Toodles

Dollies are done

Yes, I finally got my two little cuties done for the "Falloween" launch on Ebay. Yay! It was so good to dig into my stashes of patterns, fabrics & oodles of goodies.

I wanted to share a peek at them. You can click on the "Falloween" link above & it will take you to our page on Ebay. Please hop on over there & check out everyone's creations. I am so wanting to keep my two little dollies to put up in my new craft room. LOL Is that stingy or what?

I am in the last stages of completion on my Mini Halloween Album & my reversible Falloween Banner/Garland. I think I will be listing those in my Etsy shop (CountryCreekCreation). I prefer to list there & am very comfortable with the process. I cant wait for you to see those. I have never done a banner but have always wanted to. My only regret is that I didnt make two at the same time. Would love to hang this one in our new home. Well, stay tuned for their debut. :)

Well, I am off to bed. I am exhausted. Have a wonderful Sunday everyone. ~Toodles

P.S. I am thinking that it's time for another blog giveaway. I will be making something special just for you. Stay tuned for the details on how to enter.

I had so much fun making my Spring Dollie that I decided to get another one going. Here is a peek of my naked dollie. Dont you just love those fabrics? I am in love with brown & pink these days. Not the turquois & brown so much. *Bleck* I adore the little stars on the fabric too. This one will be put into my Etsy shop once I get her done.

Now on to my MITM (Monkey In The Middle) project. I finished up my baby girl spoolie mini album. I just love how this came out. It is so girlish & cute. It is a little mini album. I will be listing this today or tomorrow on Etsy as well. I am also making ready made spoolie kits that can be purchased there as well. The kits will contain all the elements & instruction for creating your own spoolie mini album. I will do all the work for you. You get to do the fun part of creating your memory masterpiece! *Ü* I am really excited about this endeavor. Let me know what you think of them once I list them.

Well I think that about covers my day. Hope you all are having a terrific Monday.
