Save The Date...Mark Your Calendar! January Blog Hop!

Howdy Y'all!

Welcome to 2013!! A brand new year, a clean slate, a fresh new calendar to mark the most important days to us!

 Oh, speaking of calendars...what a better way to start the new year off right than with a cute calendar to pencil in all your most important dates!

The "Pride" has been crazy busy shredding paper, gnawing on ribbon, and playing with pretty embellies arranging and rearranging them, attempting to inspire you by creating the perfect calendars for 2013! We would love it if you would join us in our blog hop by pouncing from blog to blog so that you can see all the different creations we have in store for you!

Mine is super simple...something that you can accomplish in one afternoon...maybe sooner! It is especially awesome to give to close friends or family members to put on their desks at work as a quick reference!

Isn't it ADORABLE?!?! 

I hope that this cute little calendar will inspire you to create one just like it. 

Below you will find a video tutorial that I created just for you to help you along the way, I hope you will watch!

We're Having A Christmas Ornament Blog Hop...Come Join Us!

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

Welcome my friends to the most wonderful time of the year...
CHRISTMAS TIME!!

Please join the "Pride" of Just A Few Friends and I as we share our most purrfect creations with you!! This month our challenge was to create a Christmas Ornament! We could use any style, any medium. So I went shopping for mini baubles, bells, and glitz, not to mention pine cones, and greenery to create the most wonderful little ornaments. And as most of you know, once I get going...there's no stopping me! :)

I came home from Michael's with Bells, mini packages, greenery, pine cones, glitter and glitz! I was so excited to get started on my little ornament. Well one ornament, turned into two, that turned into three and so on and so on. But I will save a lot of space on my blog and just show y'all a few!

This first one I named "Blue Christmas"...

I took a simple bell and added all this glitz and glee to create a magical little Christmas ornament! Feast your eyes on that gorgeous glittery blue poinsettia!! And the beautiful snowflake ribbon that I found.
Here is a closer look...

Now because I am a fan of blue but my Boo is a fan of all things Burgundy or Red...I had to make one for him too!

I must say he was pretty darn happy with it!! 
Now I will show you two made of paper...
One is a star or snowflake ornament...

The other is a pretty little origami ornament...

This one was created using lots of the famous "stickles", cardstock, a little ribbon, and a pretty red bell that really works. It is so beautiful!
Too bad after I was done with my Christmas Ornamentitis none of the ornaments worked for our little tree!! As I have know created the most beautiful "Country Christmas Tree". I will post pics of that very soon! And also share some of the ornaments I created for our tree! Looks like all of these lovelies will be going on my daughter's tree!! She will be elated to know they're hers!
