Antique Excursion

Just got back from vacation with my hubby to Tennessee and Virginia late last Saturday and I wanted to share with everyone all the goodies I found on my 20-25 antique shop excursion through the deep South.  My pride and joy finding was this amazing 1906 ceramic doll above, do you notice how her arms are attached by wire so they move up and down......big smile on my face when I found her.

Just look at all this cool stuff.  A 1950's domino, vintage Christmas lights, cookie cutter.

Love this snowman and a very strange tin Santa Claus.

What about this cool Santa Claus tree light.

more and more and more

ooooh, this old stuffed toy, how cool.

Close up of the ceramic doll.

The entire collection.  Now, don't forget to check back in the near future to see the Vintage Christmas Printers Tray and Configuration Box I'll be filling with these great finds.

Card's Plus Club October

 Hi fellow bloggers, I wanted to share the projects my Card's Plus Club gals did this past weekend.

 I'd like to call this one my "Timsperation", using freebie products from Tim Holtz, and some extras from my crafting stash.

 What a cute name place holder and large tea-lite candle to decorate your Thanksgiving table with.

and this great card for a super spectacular person in your life.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Finally back in the grove, it only took 3 days to get my land legs back.  

Thank you, thank you, thank you is all I can say to Tim Holtz.  What a wonderful experience.  This was my first real cruise, from Florida we've all been out on the little 3 days cruises and the one day gambling cruises, but the Freedom of the Sea is a world all its own.  AND Tim and his crew, did a first class job with this event.  Check out Tim's video here for some great highlights of the Cruise.

The ship was amazing, the food was to die for, the service was excellent and the company of my favorite Gal Pals, Annette, JoAnn, Sherry, Charmin and Dotty was the icing on the cake.  Now, I haven't got many pictures yet, we are having a CD made with everyone's pictures and I should have it in about a week.  Here are a few pictures that I have to show now.
