Do you have to interview people for jobs? This is funny.

I came across this funny job interview on Jenny's Blog here.  What's funniest about it is that I can totally see that happening.  Funny...sad...crazy.

Shari has made the cutest ornament from switch plate covers

I am so amazed at this gorgeous ornament made from switch plate covers.  Shari is really talented but this is over the top in my book.

I love Christmas movies

Well, the best thing about November to me is that I break out the Christmas movies!  I have a few Thanksgiving movies but not as many as I have of Christmas movies.  I love the older ones best..."Miracle on 34th Street", "The Bishop's Wife", and the coup de gras for me is "It's a Wonderful Life"!  Oh boy, I just love watching those movies.

I saw the cutest pin made from recycled denim

I found this adorable recycled denim pin by Veronica Goff over here.  The ladies at our church are cutting up old jeans to make quilts for the kids at the Baptist Children's Home.  They have scraps that would work perfectly for this project.  I ordered the Tim Holts tattered floral die.  It came today and I cannot wait to play with it.  I hope to use this as a "make and take" for the annual Ladies Christmas Gathering at the church next month.  I think that will be double recycling on the jeans.  I will get a picture of one of the quilts to put on the blog.  We are going to be tying them this weekend.  Kristine and Sue are working hard on sewing the finishing edges, etc.  I am amazed at how well they turned out.  The quilts are for teens so the denim is perfect material.

Cindy has great video on unmounting wooden stamps

This is one of the best videos that I have seen on unmounting stamps from wooden blocks and turning them into cling stamps.  Check it out here.
I have unmounted some stamps in the past.  But it is time consuming and there are so so so many great new clear stamps for sale and SU! has some great clear stamps that I have stopped unmounting my stamps.  I have put many of them into the Missionary Closet at my church.  The closet is for visiting missionaries to "shop" for free.  I know they will use and appreciate the stamps that are in there so that makes me happy.
