Make it Merry Blog Hop

Thank you for visiting my blog! My name is Janelle and I live in Iowa (right near the South Dakota and Minnesota borders). I have two little girls ages 2 and 4 and my husband is a middle school band and art teacher and I'm a stay-at-home-mom! I love to scrapbook but my weakness is scrapp'n the holidays- so I'm so happy to have completed this special project! Oh, and I'm terrible at journaling so I hid it along the border! ☺


I wanted to use some new techniques I've seen lately like the paper pleating and the ruffle ribbon (thanks Georgana!) and I really enjoyed myself. Plus, I just had to use the glitter glue from one of the recent BWS kits- love those kits!! ♥♥ If you are just joining the blog hop click here to start from the beginning! I love the red snowflake paper and with my little girls I just had to add some flowers and some bling!

Thank you so much for Hopping by and Make it Merry! ♥ Your next stop on the hop is

Fobs for Food Fundraiser

My new friend Carla, who has a great Etsy shop and just made me this wonderful necklace, is doing something really great and I wanted to share it with you!



She is donating the proceeds from her fun key fobs to a food pantry close to her heart now through Nov 23. Read more about her fundraiser project here and here. I hope you'll take some time to check this out and think about getting a little holiday shopping done during her promotion. She has lots of styles to chose from and is great to work with! Her fobs are top quality, and very affordable too. They make excellent gifts, stocking stuffers, teacher and coach gifts, secret santa gifts and more- plus they are so useful! ♥

Creative Inspiration

Ok, I LOVE these!! So cute, affordable, fun, great learning tool, and a perfect little gift or stocking stuffer! Made by the lovely Angela, check out her awesome shop SpoolofPlenty! She makes them in several fun styles as well as lots of other great items too!


My girls were so excited for their little gifts! I have a 2yo and a 4yo and both were equally thrilled! ☺

Have a Happy & Safe Halloween!

my daughters made these supercute pun-kins at their wonderful children's library programs last week! ps- I am glad I took the picture when I did because shortly after the scarecrow got a little man-handled by my 2yo! oops!

☺ Happy Halloween! Trick-or-Treat!

Where's Waldo

A while back my red striped ribbon from our etsy shop was featured in this "Where's Waldo?" treasury! How Fun!! ☺

Pay It Forward

I made my first treasury the other day, with the theme of "PIF" or "Pay it Forward" and included one of our PIF yarn flowers from our shop!
