Holiday Quilling Blog Hop

A couple weeks ago I was asked if I'd like to be included in a Quilling Blog Hop, of course I said yes; and then I had to question what it was (hee, hee). It sounds fun, you'll be invited to hop from blog to blog where you'll find a new project and perhaps a chance to win a little "blog candy". The Hop will run Friday Dec 17th 11:00pm EST - Sunday Dec 19th 11:00pm EST and will feature 14 fabulous blogs for you to hop through, I can't wait. Here is the list of blogs that will be participating:

Card Custom Order

Years ago I met a woman through a craft fair, she had purchased a few cards from me and placed an order for a frame with yellow roses. A few weeks ago she emailed me asking if I still did quilling and mentioned she would like to have some more cards made. I called her and we chatted, it turns out she wants 25 cards; I was a little surprised - I was thinking she'd want maybe 5 or so. She mentioned that yellow would be a good color to incorporate since it was her sorority's color, so I started on her cards and here are 2 of the Hello one's I've created. I must say, it's a nice change to be working on something other than snowflakes, as I get them done I'll post them on here.

It is November right?

Last week we had temps in the 60's, for us it felt a smidge chilly; today it was 80˚ or so. Really, it's November - the bee's are still buzzing around, the mosquito's are still trying to bite and the leaves are changing colors and falling - just too weird. I want my chilly weather back, and thank goodness that I live in Memphis because Saturday is going to be back in the 60's with a good chance of rain. It's no wonder we all keep getting sick.

Speaking of sick, I've been home the past two days with my kiddo's; my son was running a low grade temp and had a sore throat but he's feeling much better. Since I was home I was able to finish up a lot of paper crafting - 10 paper ball ornaments for my awesome coworker. I'll have images of those soon, for now I'll leave you with photo's of some of my recent custom orders - 10 sets of tata magnets for my awesome coworker who unfortunately has been touched very recently with a family member who lost her fight to breast cancer. The other images are of the November mini frame of the month, fall colors and acorns - LOVE IT!
