Flower Pick Grab Boxes!

Hi everyone I want to share with you that I have some grab boxes for sale at my ETSY shop
www.jentaleigh.etsy.com the boxes will consist of 30 flower picks and each pick has a minimum
of 4-12 flowers each depending on the size and style of that particular pick. That is a lot of flowers!
All of the picks have never been used and they are  in new condition. They are
from my own flower collection. My collection has gone over control and I need to down size.
For some reason every time I get new flowers for the shop I end up with a few picks of my own
so this has really gotten out of control.... lol!!!! The price of each box is $25 dlls it will include shipping
and delivery confirmation. All grab boxes will vary and are not all the same. The flowers are absolutely
beautiful some have been sold on my shop before and others are still even listed!!!! Take advantage
of this box you will not regret it :) www.jentaleigh.etsy.com



Thanks so much for taking the time to visit my blog. I am in the process of sharing with
you a mini page that I have been working on for a swap. Until then my friends many hugs
and blessings!

Thanks Susi.....


Awwww thanks Susi @ http://artcsushi.blogspot.com I couldn't believe it when you gave me this awesome award! I really feel blessed to have you as my friend you are one super sweet :) amiga!

Thanks for this awesome award it means so much to me my friend especially coming from you who showed me how to do all this blogging thing! If it weren't for you I would be clueless. I learned from the best! Gracias :) I feel so so happy to get this award!!!



Okay so now I have to share 8 things about me that a lot of people do NOT know! This will be hard cause I'm an open book lol......

1. I was an only child until the age of 23 wow!!!! Now I have an 11 year old sister Jocelyn and a 7 year old brother Alejandro. Whom I completely adore!

2. Hello Kitty is one of my all time favorites if I could I would have everything Hello Kitty, seriously I would, but my hubby wouldn't be so happy!!!

3. My first name drives me crazy and I DO hate it with a passion, but I will not share it because it is a very common name and I do not want to hurt anyone's feelings...... Sorry I can't share it!!!!  Believe me if I could go back to when my parents were naming me I would delete that instant when my parents made that first name decision lol......

4. Puerto Rico is by far my favorite place in the world! If I could live anywhere it would be there. I love everything about it and my hubby hopes to one day retire and move there!!!! Seriously I can't wait!!!!

5. The night I met my husband I was on my last day friend night!  I was to go off to Mexico and marry a fiance I had for almost 2 years yup!!!! Isn't it crazy...? I don't regret it for a thing I do believe in Love at the first sight and definitely destiny. I ended up with an  intelligent, loving,wonderful, extraordinary and blessed man. What could I say...?


6. I have know my best friend for 21 years the funny thing is that I'm exactly 24 hrs older than her.



7. I have studied education, some nursing (not my thing) and fashion design! I love my job as a SAHM much better though :).

8. Jentaleigh is Jen= Jeanelle and  taleigh = Nataleigh so it's part of both of my daughters names in one!

Hope you like the 8 things I have shared with you!

Some lil' stuffed owls.....

Hi everyone, blessed Sunday! Sure hope everyone is doing just great!
Things here are so so so feel horrible and can't sleep; I really hate being sick!
Have been on antibiotics so hopefully that will do and sure hope it's soon!
 Let me share with you a little something that has happened to my daughter
Nataleigh, she has been hit by the owl fever thanks to Susi from http://artcsushi.blogspot.com
she's the one to blame for this lol.... Just kidding Susi you know we love you! Susi has inspired us to create these little owls.
Anyway my daughter has been so in love with owls ever since she heard Susi talk
about them :) She just loves those little guys and wanted me to make her some stuffed
owls and I did here are some pictures of the first owl I made her, hope you will like it and
leave me a comment. I made the pattern free hand and have used the quilting pre-cut
squares from Hancock Fabrics. I chose this cutesy heart material for the front of the body
and used a coordinating polka-dot pattern for the back. I have also cut and hand stitch a small
heart to put on the back. Felt was used to create the feet and eyes of the little owl as well as
some small buttons.


Hope you will like the little owl, my daughter loved it! She has chosen a very cute owl print
material in the shades of purple which is her favorite color; to decorate her new bedroom. We
will definitely be busy sewing. We? Yes my daughter Nataleigh and I will make everything from
curtains to bedspread. My daughter has been sewing since she was eight, so this will be a fun project
for both of us. Let me share with you now the owl that she has made herself .





Hope you will like it and please show her some love. She will love hearing what you think of her sewing. Nataleigh will soon open her own ETSY shop and will be selling these little owls in all sorts of different materials that she has personally handpicked herself. Which by the way she has a great eye to coordinate her fabrics and I can honestly say she impresses me and I sure feel proud of her.
Thank you for stopping by. Be blessed and please don't forget to leave us a comment :).....

Hugs Alee'

Where has time gone...?

Hope everyone is feeling blessed as I am today! As I was going through some of
my picture files I came across this layout of my daughter Nataleigh I titled it,
"Special Precious You."
  
As I look back to the day I created this layout; it makes me teary eye and I ask myself,
"Where has time gone...?" It seems it was just yesterday that my  baby girl was
born. I remember that day like if it was yesterday and again I ask myself, "Where has time 
gone...?" I do not know honestly... as I look back to the day I created this layout I remember
telling her that she woke up more beautiful than the day before as she smiled and gave me
the sweetest glance ever I was asking myself, "Where has time gone...?" I honestly do not know 
and I would probably keep asking myself that same question again and again for years to come.
This I know no matter where time has gone... I have been blessed to be a mother to this beautiful
girl. The Lord is gracious and His love endures forever no matter where time has gone! I am blessed
and this has made me realize that this is why I create and why I scrapbook. It is through the grace of
God's spirit that gives me this passion to love and be loved in creativity. My passion to scrapbook 
has to come from the inspiration God has given me through my daughters. It is for them that I 
scrap and even if I ask myself every time, "Where has time gone...?" I now know that they will look
back at every layout and ask themselves, "Where has time gone...?
Items I used to create this layout:

Paper from DCWV
TH Birdcage die
Doilies (Thanks Jenny @jennymarie99 for the doilies)
Fabric flower by:
Paper/Late flowers from my ETSY
Different pearl beads
Bling
Bird

Thank you so much for stopping by may the Lord bless each and everyone
Blessed night ya'll :)

On another note I do want to share with you that this weekend was fab my friend
Vero & I took the girls out shopping on Saturday for their outfits; for their school's
Valentine's Day Dance which was a bit of a challenge because they have to follow 
a dress code. The girls are excited because for once they do not need to wear their 
uniforms :) . Jeanelle, Ale, and Gabby decided to dress the same and ended up choosing
a very cute outfit. We thought it would be nice to book a, Best Friend's photo session
here is a picture of them and their Valentine's Day outfit.
That's my daughter Jeanelle (sitting on the chair), Ale (standing), and
Gabby (front). What do you think of their first Valentine's Day Dance outfit?




On Another note I want to share with you some pictures of the flowers I created
for Sonja's swap over at YT @ catcrazycreations. This is the first time I join a flower

Getting Ready





Hi everyone ;) hope you are having such an awesome crafty week!
As for me been busy with my daughter's homeschooling and also
been planning to go out shopping for my oldest daughter's very 1st
Valentine's Dance (Oh my how does time fly...). This really has both 
my hubby and I nervous; just a weird kinda feeling that she's growing
up :(  it's a good thing though, right?

Besides all that's going on I decided to finally start my blog because
I have joined a blog hop challenge with one of my sweet and dear friends
Linda @ scrapchica :). I am actually clueless as to what to do or where to
start but I'm sure Linda and Susie @ Sillyshysushi will show me the way :)
I'm a bit nervous about the whole blogging thing, but hopefuly I will get the 
hang of it soon!

Another thing that I have been doing is sewing didn't realized how much I miss it.
I have made some cutesy pillows for my daughter and for Susie Once I get the hang of all this posting pictures I willeventually share them with you :) Besides pillows I have been creating handmade flowers
for an upcoming swap over @Catcrazycreations. I am glad I am completely done after
this I will get busy on another swap I have with a dear friend and another two due @karlas001
and the other @ ASO group on Facebook. I love working and crafting under pressure :) lol...

Have a blessed rest of the week everyone! Many many hugs and blessings
