IT'S ANOTHER MINI!!! (plus a contest win!)

Today I was able to complete another mini I created as a gift for a friend.  These were photos from a graduation party I attended last May for a friend from Minnesota.  She was here attending University of Delaware but is now home in Minneapolis.

 Obviously Kiki's Dad!

Isn't this a wonderful group shot?

The end!

I am going to share this in 

Word Art Wednesday 

challenge #207 Anything Goes.

And a share of a tag I created for a Thrifty Thursday contest on Addicted 2 Paper Dolls. It called for creating a tag with a doll stamp that featured a tv or movie character.  I chose the Nanny - Fran Dresher as over the years many people have told me that I have looked (and sounded) like her! And...I won!

How about that 'big' hair!

Lots of spray in those days!

Hope that you have enjoyed today's creations... well actually yesterdays...but there will be some today as I am going to visit my friend Maraline tonite.

IT'S A MINI!

Today I am here to share a mini-book I created for my last Pastor from photos of her going away party.  I can't wait to send it off to her!

This is the cover - which is actually a photo of the posterboard sized card I also created which was signed by the congregation.

 This was the room all ready and waiting.

and Pastor with a few of the guests (the man on the right is my son's Biology teacher!)

 Two delicious cakes!

Pastor getting ready to cut the cakes!

 Pastor and her husband with some of the gifts!

This special gift is a quilted panel of a cabin 

at Lake Pecometh where they had both 

gone as children.

Here are some of the youth group! 

(my son is the one on the right)

and here - Pastor, Chuck and more of the youth!

and the youth goofing on her! 

The end!

I hope you have enjoyed joining us at the party.  I am entering my mini over at 

Word Art Wednesday in challenge #206.

HAWAIIN STYLE

Today I'm sharing a mini-book I made (with lots of help from my good friend Maraline).  It is a gift for the hostess of our United Methodist Women's Summer Luau.  Karen is indeed the Hostess with the Mostest!  There were lots of Hawaiin decorations, leis, awesome food, swimming, fun and of course great friends. 

We each brought a dish to share.  I brought an awesome Hawaiin coconut pineapple pudding that my friend Maraline gave me the recipe for.  She lived for several years in Hawaii so she was the perfect person to help me!

The little book shows off some of the fun and lots of the great ladies from my church.  It's hard to get the real effect here because the pages all flip open to reveal others so on here some parts are blocked by others if that makes sense to you.

 

I am entering this in Sketches4All Cheryl's August Challenge - use any kind of fabric.  The fabric included in the book are the flowers which were on the luau lei's our hostess gave us when we arrived.  I am also entering this in Word Art Wednesday Challenge #144 Anything Goes.

I did another gift mini with Maraline for another friend from church who just had a brand new Granddaughter.  So, please comeback tomorrow for more!

Thanks for stopping by and sweet dreams!
