Hi Everyone, I haven't posted anything on my blog for such a long time, been busy working after 10 hr’s days and 2 hr’s drive time, I don’t feel much like crafting.. but I have been making Dangle Charm for Swaps at the Life On the Scrap Beach and Mini Albums Scraps Both are great sites for all kinds of Swaps.  Today Is Thanksgiving and I'm staying home all by myself, hubby is hunting and I just want to stay home, not much into over eating and watching people sleep afterward. Plus I don’t get much time off from work so I'm enjoying these days off, hopefully to clean and craft.. here are some of the dangles Ive been making, the ones I got in return are just beautiful.. Christmas Dangle and Tag to go with I got another one I made will post picture after get it uploaded on computer, Im hoping to make some Christmas Cards today too, Hope everyone has a Good Thanksgiving and thanks for stopping by
