See this!! This is me getting to post something not for a Design Team and I get to enter it in a challenge!! How stoked am I!!! Pretty stoked!! LOL
Why are mens cards always so hard? I find them very difficult to embellish for some reason! Am I the only one?

Aurora Wings- Cherry Sprite "Have a Very Cherry Christmas" Gift Tag and Cherry Preserve Gift Basket

Now how sweet is she?? Totally adorable right!! And she can be all yours this weekend with ANY purchase over at the Aurora Wings Etsy Store for FREE!! Yup a free gift with purchase that is beyond adorable!!! So go get her!! Well... right after you take a peak at the adorable-ness I created with her!!

This past summer a complete stranger came into the restaurant I work at and asked if anyone wanted 40lbs of fresh BC cherries... I was skeptical I admit but after talking to him I took him up on his off and Wanda and I got to work dealing with all these cherries!! Now 40lbs is a lot of cherries to deal with!! It took us 3 days to pit them all (keep in mind we have children and job ect) and 2 days to process them all into different kinds of cherry goodness!!

We decided to do some little mini jars of Cherry Jam, Cherry Pit Syrup and Drunken Cherries. Then we thought we would put them in little fruit baskets and wrap em up for Christmas Gifts for teachers, bus drivers, coaches, all those random people that are so important to our tiny humans and deserve something extra special to enjoy while getting a break from our tiny humans! LOL

We found white fruit baskets at Michaels and I misted mine with Heidi Swapp Sweet Cherry mist; wrapped it all up in cellophane and tied this adorable Cherry Sprite to her with a Christmas Greeting inside. I am so in love with how they turned out!! A few days of hard work + 1 day of coloring and crafting= 20 adorable Christmas Gifts!!

Now back to the Freebie and Gift code for the weekend!! Take a peak below for all the details!! And I will check you later!! Thanks for popping by!!

Faery Ink: Tottie Sue Who; Christmas Ornament

Today I get to show you a very cool new Christmas image the Amanda has designed for us all!! I am so in love with this adorable little "Grinch" inspired image!! Let me introduce you to miss Tottie Sue Who!!

Isn't she just the most adorable?!?! I loved coloring her up and creating the bubble ornament background!! She was so much fun and my girls were giggling the whole time!! We cannot wait to add this and more to our tree this year!! I promise to send some pics out into the world because we love "The Grinch" here!! We have a throw for the back of the couch and a tree skirt both of which I think are probably posted here somewhere from last Christmas when I finished them... maybe the Christmas before... who knows anymore!

I put little Tottie Sue Who here inside the ornament and then put some red, green and gold beads inside for a little sparkle and bling. Then I added a little vinyl to the side there and Viola!! Christmas ornament!!

Now I might have a different one to show you later... After I finished this the glass cracked for the 2nd time!! I cannot very well hang it on the tree like that with the tiny humans running around so will have to do it again... maybe she will end up on a different type of ornament all together... But for now enjoy this little sweetie!! And let her get your Christmas mojo flowing!!!
