EASTER BASKET HOP!! YAY!

PURRRRR...HI! Long time no write huh? I hope everyone is doing well, healthy and crafty!
Just a Few Friends is at it again...this month our theme was Easter Baskets, in any shape or form. I'm so very happy your hopping with us!! We are all Roaring with Pride... We are excited to be celebrating such a wonderful holiday. Even though, we know its not all about the eggs, chicks or baskets, everyone still identifies this colorful, chocolate filled day with a basket. You should maybe think about creating your own this year.
Recycle cereal boxes, old cardboard (like i did) and make something beautiful!  Im giving my pink lil'basket to my granddaughter. Gonna fill it with some candy, nail polishes, cause the lil one LOVES her fingers all purdy and stuff.  lol

Here are a few pictures of my project...If you want to see how I created please watch the video..((If you click on the link and nothing happens, bare with me, I'm on the process of uploading it now and it might time sometime for this link to be available. But please check back. thanks!))

my BIRTHDAY today

Hi! so today I celebrated my 47th birthday.  I remember thinking, 30 was "old" once upon a time, oddly enough 47 is NOT old at all!!  I had a great day, even though I had to go into work!!    But I had a good day at work...Krystal bought me a coffee first thing in the am and contact lens drops lol See the thing is that for the first time in EVER I am "TRYING" to wear contact lens.  NOT fun, my eyes were dry all day and in some kind of pain or other. BUT over all I'm glad that I WILL eventually get used to them...moving on...later that day, my boss took me to eat.  SHRIMP yumm...at our local "Shrimp Basket" restaurant.  Then I came home to BRANDI (my baby girl) --who came over to baked me brownies in a cup! The darnest thing. she has this set of oven/cook ware ... see the photos below.  too cool... you pour the mix into the cow cups, and stick in the oven...then presto...brownies in a cup!!!  IT was awesome! the perfect ending!

YUM!!

Thanks so much for stopping!! enjoy your day!!

LOVE IS IN THE AIR and in our Dens!

Happy Valentines!!!

SAVE THE DATE blog hop!

Hi!!!  Welcome to 2013!!! What better way to start the year,  than with a cute calender to pencil in upcoming project due dates!
Sure feels like for EVER since I last pulled an all nighter creating!! I enjoyed crafting again, even if I had to stay up till after 7am to complete it! Yeap, I procrastinated my self into a corner!  It was due or fail and there is no failing in this house!..sooo I finally completed my project a lil' bit after 3am. But then there was the video...the editing, the pictures, the blog, and can't forget facebook...oh my! lol Now with all that done, I can't wait to go see what the cubs created!   We have been shredding paper, gnawing on ribbon and playing with flowers trying to get our 2013 Calendars complete! Would love it if you would pounce over to everyone's blog and check out the different style Calendars  the baby cubs created!
After you check out MY  calendar, would sure appreciate if you would pounce on over to Krystals blog, she had A "WHOOT' of a time creating her calendar...(wink).

So do you have a calendar yet??? a pretty one? one you created??? I sure hope we inspired you to create one you can show off on your desk at work or give away as a gift!
OK now,  let me show you what I created...
It stands tall at 8" and has all sorts of flowers, bling and purdy Martha Stewart paper punch designs! Love it! I'm taking this in to work with me Monday to put on my desk!! It turned out pretty sturdy.  Who wants a tutorial??? give me a shout out...watch the video, it has more pictures and I show you how it works! Its only 2 pages with Calendars on either side, here...watch my vid here...SAVE THE DATE VIDEO.



Lots of I AM ROSES flowers... check her site here

CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT hop!

Hello!!! Can you all believe Christmas is here! OMG!!! 2012 flew right past me!  I LOVE, LOVE this time of the year though. Especially here in Florida.  Today the weather was awesome...at 70 degrees, you can't go wrong! We have all the pretty colors of fall, and we've had some cold night, but nothing uncomfortable "yet", so I'm enjoying it since i HATE, hate cold weather!

But ...now to this hop.  12 opportunities for you to be ornament inspired! The Pride of Just a Few Friends, has been soo busy, pouncing to create that ONE special Ornament.  You should see our dens, covered in glitter, ribbon and paper! In my case, my den is covered in sequence!! I chose to create THE one ornament, I'm gonna wanna keep for ever, mainly cause it took FOREVER to make! lol OMG...i didn't anticipate the time this would take, but now that it's done, I love it! All the 600 pins and sequences I used, makes this ornament heavy. Almost feels like it's made from a solid ball, when indeed it's made from a light Styrofoam ball.    

Watch the video HERE to see more on the supplies I used and pictures of the process...

I liked working on this so much I made 2 ornaments, totally different from each other, but equally fun to make!

Thanks for stopping by my den!! Visit the next lioness den to see what she created, visit Krystal's Blog!

Here's the line up! I can't believe the PRIDE has been active for almost one year!!! In one year we are 12 strong!!!  Im so excited!!!  WE have become such good friends! Want to thank you for stopping by and following us.  WE sure appreciate it!!!
