Okay folks! I apologize for the hiatus but sometimes life takes control and you are just barely holding on. Well I'm back in the saddle now and ready to go Christmas Crazy with projects, recipes, tips, etc. It will be a little of everything and complete madness!! (insert devious laugh here)
My mom was sick last year and it really Brought my attention to the importance and reasons for the Christmas holiday back down to earth for me. On Christmas morning my 5 year old and I woke up to a couple present on the coffee table, no tree, 4 inches of snow and grandma attached to an oxygen tank. We were just as happy then because we were all together. So this year, we will go crazy for Christmas the only way I know how: with a pure heart, lots of love, and crafting all the way.
I will be having a special friend of two join me along the way as well. I plan to post something every day so check me out and friend me.
See you tomorrow for Day 1!!
Take your gifts, your parties, and your home to the next level with Glue Mommy.

Halloween costume with cricut... Sort of!!
Sorry for the departure y'all!! But I'm back with a quick bit to share with you.
We are going to a family Halloween party and my daughter decided we were going at the Pink Fairy Royal Family. (reason #1 why you should never buy costumes for your kids ahead of time).
Anyway, I am making a couple of things so we look cute together. Here is a picture of our wands. And in the back you can see my skirt. Yes it's a tutu. Its the only thing I make really well. Crowns coming soon!!

Bling it up
So I bought this little wood sign from Mighty Dollar last fall. I wanted to freshen it up a little bit. So I added some Stickles. Who doesn't love glitter?!? 
Birthday... The easy way!!
This year there was no extravagant craziness for my daughter's birthday gathering. But I still put my frugal crafty spin on it.
They painted this pumpkin candle holders for $1 each and took them home. I also made pumpkin placemats with my YourStory. To save my table from paint and as another party favor gift.
They had a lovely time and took home decorations for the season!!!!

Thank God for Sundays
Im feeling weak in the knees for adding to my stash so it is a great thing that Hobby Lobby is closed on Sundays. To help me cope my good friend shared a couple of sheets of cute paper with me from her All About Boys DCWV stack. I don't have a boy but the paper with the lightbulbs would be perfect for the science camp layout.
Which leads me to Thrifty Tip #1: share with a friend. Shop the mat stack sales with a friend. Don't buy the same stacks and when u are finished with that theme, switch stacks. Sure some of the paper is missing but it's like having new product in your home and it cost you nothing!!! Awesome huh?$?
On a side note, I made these awesome cupcAkes for a friends get together today. They are as. Yummy as the look

No Spending- Day 1
Hey y'all!!
I Was forced to go into Joann Fabrics with some coworkers today. I only purchased a pack of dcwv paper for my neighbor (we don't have that kind in our town and her daughter is a huge Twilight fan) and an apple door hanger for her teacher. It was $6.99 and 70% off!! I thought it would make a cute Christmas gift for her teacher along with some handmade stationary. (more to come on that later).
The point is: I didn't spend any money on my scrap stash!! Hurray me!!
