It's almost SHOW TIME ...

Hello Friends and Happy Friday!!

The time certainly seems to be FLYING by so I'd better start concentrating on what I need for a couple of upcoming November craft shows I have signed up for.  Both were cancelled last year due to covid so my payment was transferred over to this years shows and hopefully they will be able to take place.  With covid on the rise again here in Ohio I'm not sure what will happen but either way, I need to be prepared.

So with that being said, I found this fabulous designer paper at Hobby Lobby the other day when I was with a friend purchasing product for new Christmas wreaths she had commissioned me to create for her house this holiday season.

The patterns are different one to the other but the color scheme is the same.


I bought several sheets of this 12x12 pattern as I want to give this one to my daughter but think it would sell well also so will make up a few more.  I'm really lovin' these old trucks and the black/white gingham goes so well with the autumn theme.


This pattern only came in the 8 1/2 x 11 size so it took a couple of sheets to complete my tissue box cover.  Whereas, I can get one box completed out of 1 - 12x12 sheet.  But the pattern was so inviting I just had to have it!

Here's a quick peek at the wreaths I created for my friend.

She was very happy with them and is excited to decorate her windows for Christmas this year! LOL  I did  five wreaths this size and one larger with the same products but different design for the door.  The all have white lights on them so should be really pretty. 

Well back to work ... it's laundry day so I'm running up/down the steps but at least I'm getting my exercise while I'm getting cards made for these upcoming shows.   Hope you have a FABULOUS weekend ahead!  Stay safe & healthy!!  Covid is still out there!!

Thanks so much for stopping by ... as always,
