for all of you that have already left a comment, you will also be added in the drawing. I will draw a name this coming Saturday....

Hello everyone welcome to another MADE IT MYSELF MONDAYS...I have 2 projects to share with ya today...one that is very dear to my heart...I remember a few years ago I had to get an emergency Hysterectomy.....it was the worst pain I had every experienced in my lift..yeah worst then having all 4 of my kids....I had 2 HUGE tumors, one on each of my ovaries that had exploded...anyhoo I remember back then I was a CRICUT BUG NUT...literally spent days and nights posting and communicating with the girls on the board...many of us still to this day are very close...anyhoo, I remember when I had to get the emergency surgery and the board found out about it, I was flooded with cards, get well wishes and gifts...it was the most wonderful feeling to know that people I had never ever laid eyes showed so much care for me...it really got me through the whole ordeal.....ANYWAYS so when I read a post that my sis Teri had participated in for a sweet little girl name Olivia, I knew I wanted to participate...you can read all about it here and see Mrs. Teri adorable card over there as well.....Thanks T, for doing it and sharing with all of us....

This little box of COLOR ME IN SENTIMENT cards is for OLIVIA...She is having surgery for tumors and they want to fill her room with cards...so instead of sending her a card, I thought I would send her a set of THANK YOU AND JUST FOR YOU cards that she can color in and send to some special family and friends thanking them for her cards.....
Here's the inside of the box....there are 6 COLOR ME IN SENTIMENTS in the box....I thought it would be fun for her to be able to color some cards in herself...I also made her a few heart and flower matching stickers that she can put on her envelopes or on the cards...there is also a few colored in by Olivia tags for her to put on the back of the cards...all of these things are self adhesive...so she doesn't need any glue...the rhinestones are also self adhesive...
I covered the crayons to match the box and added some stamps....Don't want her parents to have to worry about getting stamps...
Thanks sis Teri for sharing the Information about Olivia....we are all prayer for you sweetie.
This set is perfect for kids to color in for their own teachers, family and friends.

To make this set I used the following cafe sets:
8 by 5 inch box with dividers

COLOR ME IN SENTIMENTS:

Up next is my first HALLOWEEN CARD.....I so love Halloween...not the buggy man and then devil side of it, but all the treats and fun images to make cards and gift packages...This card comes from the new MIKALA ANN BEING A GOOD WITCH SET.....I decided to use colors that had nothing to do with Halloween...
The paper is by a company called Authentique....and I fell in love with the patterns....I so love this set of images cause it comes with a few different outfits as well as two different witch hats...
not sure if you can see the glitter on her hat, but it awesome...it cost me 11 bucks...geeesss, it is by fairydust....it is amazing I tell ya...super fine...LOVE IT....I also added a few black rhinestones to her dress and flowers....
Well thanks for visiting me today and please be sure to check out the post on OLIVIA and visit the I MADE IT MYSELF MONDAYS..
Also there is still time to enter the challenge going on over at the cafe here...you could win any 5 sets of your choice...hugs

GOT MILK................................

Welcome to another week of MADE IT MYSELF MONDAYS...
be sure to click on the link above to see all the fun stuff people have made...okay like my title read GOT MILK......................

CARTON GIFTS that is...I am loving these new Milk Carton releases over at the Cutting Cafe. There are 5 new Milk carton files that have just been released:

CHRISTMAS MILK CARTONS.....I also used the CHRISTMAS MINI WORDS on this box
PLAIN MILK CARTON...(no cut out windows)...I simply couldn't resist putting GOT MILK...of course there isn't any milk in it...just some plain o almonds....which I love and the GOT MILK sentiment is from the GOT MILK SENTIMENT SET...
Don't ask me why I added the strawberries at the bottom..it just looked good on the swiss dot paper..

ASSORTED SHAPES MILK CARTONS...This one was perfect for a school gift since it has a apple cut out...I just filled the box with blue paper clips....and the greeting is from the ALL ABOUT SCHOOL SET.
Finally HALLOWEEN AND FALL SHAPE MILK CARTONS...I so love this paper by MME...I thought it went well with the spider cut out...then I just added some rhinestone orange eyes..I used the GOT MILK SENTIMENT SET again for the little tag.
I got one more project for you all....this little set was done using the new #1 ribbon shaped card set.....I thought it would be fun to give to my sons teacher...she can put the circle labels on the ribbons as needed...I used the 8 by 5 inch divider box to put them in...
