Good Morning Everyone! Thanks so much for all of the wonderful comments left for Lynne Kirsch with Post-It Holder Challenge.

It's never too early to start thinking about Christmas, well not in my book anyway. This little cutie is living out my dream - all wrapped up in snowy white, ice skating under a fabulous Christmas tree. *sigh* Check out my BLOG for more details.


Took an art journaling class a couple weeks ago with DeeDee Catron in my new home town (Las Vegas), and created these pages. Please visit my BLOG for more details!


Inspired by the upcoming holiday, I decided to alter a printers tray with just some of the things in my life that I am thankful for. Lots of little compartments with lots of wonderful goodies. Check out my blog HERE to view a slideshow with more detailed pictures. Have a blessed Thanksgiving.


I was lucky enough to get to go on a retreat a few weeks ago with some of my crafty friends! We relaxed in a cabin in the woods, and crafted when we wanted! I stopped by Walmart on my way up and picked up a couple of little 8x10 canvases. This is what ensued! Collaged yumminess if you ask me! Check out my BLOG for more info.  


As this month theme is open, I would like to take the opportunity and introduce my country a bit, with an custom that we keep in Flanders, and that is let's call it our Thanksgiving. Actually it is St Martin's day, as we write it Sint Maarten. It is celebrated on the 11th day of the 11th month. This evening we build bonfires, and children go through the streets carrying paper lanterns and candles, singing songs for what they are rewarded with preferable healthy sweets like nuts. My lanterns are ready for this year. If you would like to know more about Sint Maarten and the paper lanterns please jump over to my BLOG.


As a part of the Anything Goes Challenge No. 41 for November at Anything But A Card, I am sharing this microwave safe "cup cozy" I recently created. I know, if I would use a coffee mug with a handle rather than a glass that has no handle, my problem with burned fingers would likely be solved ;) However, since I prefer to use this glass for making tea and using a bulky hot mitt isn't easy to grab the glass with one hand, I came up with this little cozy to use in the microwave ! It matches the microwave safe bowl cozy I made earlier this year and use regularly. Stop by my BLOG to see how I made it.

We hope our designers have you INSPIRED to take some time to be creative!! We can't wait to see your creations and we hope that you will join in and share them with us! Stop back next Sunday to see more of our Design Team creations!
