Feeling Crafty

My great grandmother’s birthday is coming up in March! (Well, she isn’t technically MY great-grandmother. She is my half-uncle’s grandmother.  She’s not blood related to me at all. ) She is going to be 90! So we’re throwing her a huge party. And I had forgotten that I had volunteered (until my aunt emailed me yesterday) to make the invitations. Like, 30 of them. So off to Hobby Lobby I went, buying cardstock and ribbon, cupcake decorations, ink, embossing powder and an embossing heat tool (I’ve done this stuff before, but never actually owned one of my own! So it will be nice to have it in my crafy collections…).  I spent close to $80. Which was probably INSANE, but whatever. I have a lot of extras for other crafts and projects down the line…

This is what I’m working on:

 

Send junk food my way…I only have 24 more to go!
