Bring on the Holidays!

Hello & Happy Thursday!

It's been quite crazy around here at the Aungst Pad so that's why the lack of blog posts. First off i'd like to start out by giving an update on Bailee Boo. She is doing beautifully! We got both set of cultures back from her Trans Tracheal Flush she had done on 11/25. Both were negative of any viral or bacterial infections. She has not done any coughing or wheezing since. I am thinking that the last dose of antibiotics & the steroid took care of it. She does have something that alot of dogs have called Reverse Sneezing. This is not life threatening thing and goes away on it's own. All in all there is nothing else being done since she is not exhibiting anymore signs of wheezing or coughing. The sad part of this is we spent all that money on having the procedure done to know what was going on in her lungs and we know nothing more than we knew before! Oh well, sometimes that's the way it goes!
Yesterday, she slipped her collar when I went to take her out. Oh boy, I panicked and went after her since she just took off. Thankfully she came back to me but I wasn't happy with her. I tried running but with my back hurting....it wasn't easy!
Then yesterday we got sad news from my sister in law that their dog, Winston, passed away from the battle he was fighting with cancer. He recently hurt his back too and has been going downhill. I'm sad but understand that they are no longer suffering but that missing them is the hardest part of losing our fur babies. RIP Winston.....you will be dearly missed.

Last evening was our stamp girls Christmas get together at our local Chili's. We've been doing this for the last couple of years and so enjoy it. We all received some very cute handmade items and shared lots of laughs! I had a great time! Thanks girls! Happy Holidays!

So, I know you came to see what i've been up too so here goes!
Most of my stuff has been made for the Christmas craft show that i've been doing for the last 11 years but this year it was cancelled a few weeks before our delivery date due to health issues. My oldest daughter has stepped up to plate and sold so much of my items at her work. Her co workers keep asking for more! Here are some of the candy bar wrappers I did up!











Most of these candy bars my Aunt asked for as gifts for her family. I have another order for 25 more for a friend of my Mom's which I need to soon get working on. I noticed that anything with candy always seems to be a hit for Christmas! They do make a nice little stocking stuffer or a little something for a co worker, teacher or even the mail delivery person and I really enjoy making this kind of stuff.

I'm not going to list all the supplies used to make these so if you need a recipe on anything here, please shoot me an email at blueyes966@comcast.net 

Well, that's all for me today!
It's another dreary, rainy day here. I'm going to head on down to my stamp table to get some notebooks covered & possibly work on that order of candy bar wrappers! Tis the season!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!!

Halloween Spooky Banner

Hello & Happy Sunday!

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

Yesterday was the Heirloom Stamp Show in York and most people know that follow my blog that my stamp girls & I attend this event every year. We shopped & talked to friends that we seen there then around noon we headed to our friend Nan's house to make those awesome Halloween banner that Stampin Up has in the Holiday Mini Catalog. She prepared a lunch for us then we got to work on our banners. We had a choice to make just the Halloween or the Halloween & Christmas one too. Most chose to make both. We had fun talking & laughing while working on them. The banners are fun to make but a bit time consuming. I got mine started and brought them home to finish. I hung it above my tv in the living room so everyone can see it. Isn't it cute? I think it is!

A huge Thank You to Nan for having us over to make these & for a wonderful lunch with friends! I had a blast! :)

Here is my Halloween Banner.


I was hoping to do my Christmas one but today I sat & watched football with the hubby then took Gigi for a long walk at the park. Hopefully one day this week I can get it finished. I'll share on here when I do!

Well, that's all for today!
Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Snowman Tealights

Hello & Happy Thursday!

 Things are in full Christmas swing around the Aungst Pad. Gifts waiting to be wrapped and cookies are slowly being baked! I love this time of year!

Last night we had our stamp girls Christmas get together as we have been doing so for the last 4 or 5 years. We met up at Chili's, talked, ate and exchanged gifts. The laughs and hugs are the best part of the evening as we do not see one another very much.

I have been racking my brain thinking of a nice handmade gift for them this year. I think this year my brain was woren out because nothing was registering! LOL After surfing SCS, Facebook and some of my favorite blogs....I came across Becky Roberts blog, Inking Idaho, and seen the cutest idea ever! So, I had to take a stab at it to make my own! 




Since I love Cherry Cobbler and Marina Mist, those are the colors I went with on mine. I did the brim of the hat a bit differently since I didn't quite understand how Becky did hers in her directions. I really think that was a sign that my mind is toasted this year! I also made her little boxes to match so it made the cutest little boxed gift for my stamp girls! They loved them! 

 Snowman Tealights:

Stamps: none
Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Marina Mist, Frostwood Lodge, Window Sheets
Accessories: LED Tealights, Recollections White Pearls (colored with a black Sharpie), Word Window Punch, Large Oval Punch, 1/2 Circle Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, Decorative Label Punch, Cherry Cobbler Sweater Trim, Hot Glue & Liquid Multi Mono

We also got a surgery date for Ryan whom is having some minor surgery done. Next Wednesday is the scheduled day but I seen now they are calling for snow so who knows what will happen there. I know it's a week away and it could all change till then....atleast that's what i'm hoping for!

Well, that's all for me today!
I'm off to grab my shower and try to do some crafting. My hands have been giving me a really hard time lately and I think I am just burnt out from all things Christmas! Time to move on to another occasion!
Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Santa Owl Pails

Hello & Happy Sunday, friends!!

Hope your day is going well so far!
I had a great day yesterday with my stamping girls! Time really flies when your having fun! It was good to see them and we got our Christmas Get Together on the calendar for in a few weeks! Yipppeee!! :)

Here is a picture of my gang :)


Anyways, today I wanted to share with you these awesome little pails that I picked up at Micheal's last winter when I was still in Joplin. I wasn't sure at the time what I was gonna do with them and one day the thought of making the Owl Punch into a Santa Owl came to mind and as they say....the rest is history!


I wrapped the pails in a dsp from Hobby Lobby only up to where the handles are on the sides. Also punched some red cardstock & more dsp and put on the lid. Then I took white cardstock and punched it with the Scallop Circle Punch and ran it thru the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots EF for alittle somethin' somethin'! LOL I punched out 16 red owls and glued on the googlie eyes that came from Micheal's. I punched the vest out with that extremely heavy glitter cardstock that Micheal's sells and glued it on the Owl body. I then punched out 16 Wild Wasabi stems for the Owl to sit on and added dimensionals to the backside to adhere to the white Scallop Punch. Next I had a pack of Jolee's Santa hat sticker's that I got last year out in Joplin and added those on the Owl's head. Filled with 5 or 6 bite sized Snickers and called them "AWESOME"!!
I just loved them! What do you think??

Cardstock: Real Red, Neenah White, Wild Wasabi, DSP from Hobby Lobby, Glitter Paper from Micheal's
