A Better Look @ the Goodies!

Here are two of the Notepads from my large order! They were very well received by the lady who ordered them from me. I was thrilled that she was so pleased. They may be a little plain in terms of what I normally make (notice the absence of bling?) but they are exactly what she requested and she was really happy with them. There is always such a satisfaction to making something yourself and having the person you made them for be so thrilled with it. It was a large order so I am hoping for her to be a repeat customer. I hope these little cuties inspire you to do something creatively patriotic today! It is almost the end of the year and I wanted to thank all of you loyal followers of my blog, even if I have been lax in posting this year you are understanding and still kind with you praise. I wish you a a very blessed Christmas season. One filled with family, food, friends and love. As the New Year approaches I wish you all joy and prosperity. May God Bless all of you and those you hold dear to you. Let me know what you think of these!

HOOAH with a Dash of Red White and Blue

 

Here is another of my favorites created for a good friend. The Army background pairs so nicely with the Grand ol Flag doesn’t it? I LOVE LOVE LOVE the ribbon I used on this notepad. I stumbled upon it one day when I stopped by a craft store. The image is a stamping bella image I acquired years ago and that I still love today. Its perfect for the front of a notepad. If you look really closely you can see I even made the briefcase camo! Is that cute or what! I hope this notepad inspires you to do something creative today! Regards to you and yours. Now that the kiddos are back in school (as am I LOL) GO GET CRAFTY! After the long hot summer you deserve some good fun craft time!

Much Aloha,

Air Assault…

If any of you have been stationed at Fort Campbell Kentucky you know exactly what this phrase is. Although I can’t see the point of jumping out of a perfectly good helicopter; many have told me how fun it is.. really.. yea okay.. LOL.. This is my take on the Screaming Eagle Spouse. She is ready to take on any task at a moments notice and just excuse the pun, jumps right in.. I hope she inspires you today as my Army Spouse sisters inspire me everyday!

Below is a photo of the pair I created. Its still following along the Americana theme that my friend Tracey asked for..

If any of you good readers out there know a Military spouse whose husband is away, offer her a hand in any way you can. You’d be amazed at how powerful an effect it could have on easing the tremendous burden that they bear. They are truly the unsung heroes of a deployment. Military spouse’s must be father and mother, cook, nurse, handyman, plumber, mechanic and maid and the Comforter in Chief. If you can lend her a hand or even just a shoulder. she could probably use it even if she looks like she’s got it all under control. Support our sisters and brothers who stand behind those who serve.

Much Aloha,

Mishy
