Happy Sunday Crafty Friends,

I am in my craft room finishing up the Decemeber kit "Redemption Unwrapped" from By The Well 4 God on etsy. They offer beautiful monthly devotional kits on their etsy page and I have been working on these kits for quite a few years. I highly recommend them and so much thought and love goes into each kit.

This has been one of my most favorite kits and I am super excited to start the new kit starting January 1st!

I hope this gives you some inspiration and fresh ideas, if you have any questions or comments please leave them down below  ~

   

Happy New Year,

Behind the Scenes ~

Happy Sunday Crafty Babes,

I am in my craft room shooting a video for you of a bible journaling entry today ~

I thought I would share a “Behind the Scenes” shot of my set-up when filming. This is step 2 of the process I first have to come up with the idea.

Now I am off to work on editing and uploading so check in a few hours (fingers crossed that the internet is running smoothly) to see the end result.

Happy Hugs,

Gale :)

Happy Holidays Everyone,

Greetings from chilly Chicago! I hope you all are enjoying all the holiday festivities as much as I am... This is my most favorite time of year ~

I've got a super CUTE as well as quick and easy project for you today.

I made these Christmas Nail File Holders for all the ladies who attended my Christmas Tea Party and Ornament Exchange as a little party favor for them. They were a HUGE hit and who doesn't always seem to need a nail file?

Greetings Happy Stampers ~ are you guys as busy as I am getting everything ready for Thanksgiving??? 

I love it and wouldn’t have it any other way...

Our oldest son’s girlfriend is joining us this year for dinner and if you have been following me for awhile, you know I am all about setting a beautiful table. 

Many years ago I made place cards for everyone and I was thrilled to find the old stamp set that I used “Harvest Home”. I am not sure from what year but I am so happy I kept this and many other older stamp sets!

I’ll share the pictures of the pretty table tomorrow, it’s going to be another busy day ~ 🙏.

Ep. 644 ~ 2019 December Daily Album!

Hi there Crafty Friends,

Today a I have a look through my 2019 December Daily Album that I created during a Home Class that I held here at my home last Saturday. Having this completed and ready for me to just pop my daily photos in makes me so happy and stress-free.

I highly urge you to get your DD set-up and organized before the holidays that way you can enjoy the little things each day and take in all the special moments the holidays offer.

I hope this gives you some ideas and inspiration, it's a great way to set the foundation of our albums and of course I can move things around easily and add bits and bobs if I choose too or keep it exactly the way it is...

Happy Holidays,

Happy November ~

Greetings Crafty Friends,

It’s super chilly 🥶 here in Chicago and we even had snow on Halloween - Bbbrrrrr!

I had my December Daily Class yesterday here at my home and we all completed our DD Albums and are ready to drop pictures in starting Dec 1st.

         

         

 We had a fantastic day and I made a yummy quiche along with banana nut bread and cups of steaming coffee and tea.

        

        

 Carla brought a delicious lemon cake and Miss Tessa joined all of us as well... 

        

         

         

  Here are some sneak peeks of my album and I have a full video of what’s on the inside uploading to YouTube right now so check over there in a little bit. 

I’ll also post it her on my blog as well and it turned out really cute! 

Happy Hugs,

Bonjour Crafty Friends!

I will be back in my craft room this coming week  so thank you for understanding my precious time spent with my youngest son and hubby.

We are so excited to see him and we are staying at a lovely boutique hotel just blocks from the Eiffel Tower. 

         

   

          

Needless to say I won’t have any crafting videos up over the next 10 days but I will share some fun pictures of our adventure here if you are interested. 

I’ll get back on track shortly after we arrive home. 

Happy Fall,

Ep. 643 ~ Silly Pumpkin Halloween Treat Box!

OMG you guys!!!

This is the CUTEST project I've seen in quite some time! It came across my Facebook feed this morning and was presented by a lovely women Gloria Plunkett on Splitcoast Stampers and the minute I saw this cutie I immediately ran down to my craft room and started making one.

How stinkin' cute are these?!? 

They hold 4 Fun Size Candy Bars (I am out because I finished of the bag that was supposed to be for craft projects - aaaccckkkk!) but I will grab more on my next Wally World run.

They feature our Clear Acetate Boxes and you will get two of these darling pumpkin treat holders out of one box.

I had a blast creating this cute-pa-tutie and will certainly be making many more ~

Enjoy the video...

Happy Halloween Crafting,

Boo Too You | Halloween Card ~

Hi Everyone,

I have a fun project and even better idea to share with all your friends and neighbors...

Recently while scrolling through Facebook I saw a post from a nice gal who said she was making cards for people who decorated there homes for Halloween! I thought - GREAT IDEA!!! In our house, I LOVE to decorate for all the holidays and if you head over to my YouTube Channel you can see the video from yesterday is my 2019 Halloween Home Tour. 

Decorating takes a lot of time and effort and I know I want to say thank you to my neighbors that put the effort into making their homes look festive.

I am going to keep these in my car along with a pen so I can leave a quick note at any home that deserves to be thanked for making the neighborhood festive.

Happy Halloween,

Happy Saturday Crafty Friends -

I wanted to share my latest project I made for all the staff at my Physical Therapy Office as “Thank You” gifts. 

The "Thank You" sentiment came form the "Do What You Love" stamp Set, it's such a perfect script!

I don't know why my pictures get turned on their side when I post them from my phone - aaccckkkk! I will try to fix it 

I used the stamp set - “Harvest Hello’s” along with the matching punch. You can find the bundle in the new Holiday Catalog 2019.

I also used our 3 x 6” cello treat bags and filled them with my homemade Fall Pumpkin Chex Mix - yummy! 

My apologies for two of the pictures being sideways, I will try to correct that if I can figure out how to do that ~

Happy Fall,

Personalized Gift 🎁 Set ~

Happy Fri-YAY Crafty Friends,

It’s the weekend - yippee!!! I have had our youngest son’s best friend from New Jersey visiting with us this week so my house has been rambunctious! The boys have been having a great time hanging out together ...

They both are flying back to New Jersey tomorrow morning so Zack can spend a week out there with Brandon and visit all his old friends.

That being said, I made a cute Gift Set for Brandon’s sweet mother as a Hostess Gift and heartfelt thank you for having him. 

                   

His mom Lisa has her own candy business and makes the BEST handmade toffee on the planet!She runs this from home in addition to working full time as a Pharmacutical Rep. I thought it would make her desk pretty when she is working hard to take all those orders.

        

                                          

I used some retired Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper and gold doilies. This is a cute mini notepad holder and pen set.

       

I personalized a inexpensive hardcover notebook and made a matching clippie with some retiredribbon as well and it matched the ribbon on the notebook 📓!

Lastly I made a matching Thank You Card using the same DSP, ribbon and doilie...

I hope she likes this set and it makes her time spent working at her desk a little happier.

Have a relaxing weekend,

Happy 😃 Sunday ~

Hi there Crafty Friends,

Well this week has flown by and we spent yesterday out on our boat with sweet friends and had a GREAT time together.

Today I am staying cool by creating in my craft room and I am doing some bible journaling entries. I am working through the Illustrated Faith Minthly Devotional Kit Simmer Revival Camp 2019. These are such wonderful kits and the content is so perfect ~ 

          

Aren’t the illustrations just adorable? 

I wanted to jazz up my tab clippie so I used the fabric that was wrapped around the packaging the kit came in. To take it up a notch I stamped little airplanes ✈️ using the stamp set and I love how it turned out... 

          

Here’s how it looks at the top of my page 

         

         

Well I hope you are staying cool 😎 it’s blisteringhot here in Chicago. I’ll have a new video for youthis coming week so keep your eye out for that here and over on my YouTube Channel. 

Cool Hugs,

Bible Journaling Bag & Entry ~

Greetings Crafty Friends,

We were camping earlier this week in the Wisconsin Dells and of course I packed my bible journaling bag.

However, my bag isn’t as cute and organized as some of the YouTubers I’ve seen ...

Oh well, it’s my journey and my time with God. 

       

Perhaps I could have packed a little less ~ 

       

Aside from my hot mess of a bag I did enjoy starting the new Illustrated Faith New Testament Revival Camp Kit. 

Here’s my entry and I am anxious to continue diving in to all the great content ... 

        

Have a great weekend and stay cool in this extreme heat, good time to stay indoors and create some bible entries!

Happy Hugs, 

Greetings From The Wisconsin Dells!

Hi there Everyone,

We are vacationing in the beautiful Wisconsin Dells so I am not in my craft room right now but on our pontoon instead! 

If you have never been to The Dells I hope you can visit sometime and appreciate all the incredible beauty. It’s so rich in Native American history as well ...

       

We have been coming here for years and I have many fond memories from my childhood as well.

       

There is nothing better for me than turning off all the electronics, getting out in nature and relaxing on the water with my family - I love it! 

       

Bring on the bonfires and s’mores - this momma is in her happy place!

I’ll be back in a few days with a new video for you ~ 

Happy Hugs,

I thought I would share my entry today and see if there are any other bible journaler’s out there? Let me know in the comment section below if you are I would love to share entries... 

Have a relaxing weekend and I will hopefully post a YouTube video sometime this weekend as well.

Happy Hugs,
