Beatrice Joined The Sisterhood!  

Posted by Danyel aka Nelliebella


I made this for the SCS swap, Night at the Movies! My inspiration was Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants! Yeah, I'm a sucker for cheesy chic flics!!! To say the least! I'm also using this as my entry for the Fall Bella Bash! I'm totally thankful for Beatrice Bellbottoms! As Em would say, she's yummalicious!!!!

Turkey Time  

Posted by Danyel aka Nelliebella


These are the treats we're giving to Trey's friends at school. Yes, they're empty. I ran out of peanut butter and too lazy to go to the store right now. So, I guss I'm going to have to do the unthinkable and give store bought cookies. Aaaaaahhhhhh! You have no idea how much it pains me to say that! But, I didn't get to bed until 4 am last night and it's already pushing 3 am tonight. That's pretty much my only option. Ooh, I almost forgot I need to make Mac N Chz for school tomorrow. Okay, enough rambling. I'm more tired than I thought. Have a great weekend everyone! Don't go too crazy getting ready for next week!

Happy Birthday Ms. Lisa

Ms. Lisa's birthday is over break, so we're bringing this in tomorrow! More bath salts!

Have a Great Break Teachers!

I made these for my son's teacher. They have White Tea bath salts inside! I found the jars at Old Time Pottery for 50 cents, and the bath salts were only a few bucks for all of them. Can't beat it for a cheap gift!

Another package for my aunt!

My aunt is going in for surgery for the other hand tomorrow so I'm going to send this off to her! There's bath salts in the altered flower container. Oh, and yes, she does actually swing! You can't really have a girl on a swing that doesn't move. :)

Okay, so I have a few new found loves (even though I definitely do not need anymore):

Memento Tuxedo Black - all of you Bellas were right! This stuff rocks!!!!!! Good bye StazOn, Hello Memento!!

Stamp Oasis Little Lovin's - Aren't these images adorable?!? There are tons to choose from and they're really inexpensive, even with shipping!!!

Copic Markers - I broke down and bought my first Copic the other day. I originally bought Prismacolor markers because they were a little cheaper. Anybody need any? I'm going to sell them to buy Copics!!!

Blog Candy Update: I am still trying to get all the goodies together and I will post a pic tomorrow! It will definitely be worth the wait!! I was up til 4 am last night/this morning finishing those cookie swap invites! Glad to say they're done! But I think cute!

Now, I better go start making everything for Trey's Thanksgiving Party tomorrow!

Cookie Swap Invite

My friend needed help with her cookie swap invites and this is what we came up with! She was a lot of help with all 60 of them! Yes, I was a little too ambitious! But, what's new! I think they turned out cute, do you?

Happy Birthday Gift Card Holder

This is the gift card holder I made for one of Trey's teachers!

Halloween/Fall Party Gifts  

Posted by Danyel aka Nelliebella


These are the gifts we made for the Fall Party (can't say Halloween because he goes to a church school). The pillow boxes were filled with the best Chex Mix ever. And of course the candle holders were for the teachers with a yummy Mocha scented candle! I used the Xyron and Big Shot to create the design on the glass. I have to say, love the 5" Xyron but really don't care for the X. I tried to use it for some ribbon and it was way too messy. Better luck next time!

Okay, so here's the best Chex Mix ever for Trey's friend's Halloween treats. Of course, I didn't follow the recipe (when do I ever?). Look at the bottom to see what I changed!

http://www.chex.com/Recipes/RecipeView.aspx?RecipeId=33994&CategoryId=340

So here it is:
2 cups Corn Chex
2 Honey Chex
handful of dried cranberries (Great Value - WM)
handful of cut dried apples (Great Value - WM)
handful of golden raisins
but followed everything else.
I have to admit I was very hesitant on coking it in the microwave, but it did work.

Warning - The Bobbitts

I'm very sorry if I offend anyone reading this, but I had to post my Halloween Costumes! Afterall, I think I worked just as hard on these as I do a card! We had so much fun at our party last night! There was lots of craziness going on!
