Linda's Blog Hop

Hi there everyone :) it's finally here Linda's Spring Blog Hop and I
am so excited to be a part of it :) Thanks so much Linda for inviting me
to join in my first ever Blog Hop participation :) If you are here from
Vero's  http://goldenmomentssometimes.blogspot.com 
You are in the right Place and thanks for hopping with us.

As soon as Linda asked me to participate in this fab hop I started brain
storming on what I wanted to do I was so happy she had invited me to
participate and was extremely nervous ..... Instantly I knew what I wanted
to do. Wanting to do a wall hanging at first I figured I would do
a Canvas, but just a week ago I changed my mind and decided to do a
Embroidery Hoop Layout I had been wanting to try one for a while now.
Ok here it is hope you like it my dear friends :)

The hoop was purchased at Michael's for $1.45 the size is 12", the polka doted fabric I purchased from Hancock Fabrics from the pre-cut quilting squares on sale for $0.99. The fabric I loved it reminded me of Easter eggs and jelly beans just perfect for this blog hop. The chick and rabbit came from last year's dollar bin from Michael's, but had been saving them because I purchased them after Easter for $0.10. Using some of the lace and ribbon ruffle I had in my stash was fab as well as using some of the left over fabric from a previous project I made the yellow flower and mint green one the other two twisted flowers were a gift from Jo that came with some of the flowers I had ordered from her. The added  button was  also from my stash. The crochet doillie came from an Etsy shop as well as the white silk flower which came from my  ETSY shop @ www.jentaleigh.etsy.com . I have used a spring  sticker that came from Hobby Lobby which came in an Easter Collection and I got on sale for $0.85. The making memories plaque came from Michael's which I found a pack of 12 from $1.49 wow this project was a less than $5.00 can you believe it?  I will definitely continue making more of these it was such a fun project to create and very inexpensive. Thank you Linda for letting me share this project in your hop and I have enjoyed creating it so much.
Now for the give away..... This is what you have to do be a follower to my blog and tell me the most inexpensive Easter or Spring project you have made or plan to make. It will be fun knowing what you thought of my project as well. The winner will be announced on Monday the 14th of this month. I will read all comments together with my girls and hubby and we will choose the winner through random.org. Now here's the picture of the prize.

Thank you so much for stopping by and for hopping with us. Once again thank you Linda @ http.//scrapchica.blogspot.com this has been so much fun. Now on to Nataleigh's blog @ http://nataleighscraftland.blogspot.com

Hello everyone hope everyone had a great weekend! We sure did a long one too!
We took a mini vacation and it was absolutely needed and well deserved we enjoyed it
so much my hubby & I got to spend a whole lot of time with our Nataleigh which was great!
Nataleigh sure enjoyed the attention all to her self we got to go shopping and she was able to
buy a lot of scrapbooking goodies she's very excited about that. I am too because of coarse her mommy needed to get some for her self too... lol. We really enjoyed it and  Jeanelle was  at a confrence with the academy  she attended the Acquire The Fire Christian Confrence and I am glad she did it was a twenty-seven hour conference whit teachings and praise and worship. A life changing experience
which she enjoyed very much and I am thankful for the work that the Lord has done not only with her, but with all the youth that participated in the conference!!!!

4x4 Mini Lace and Pearls Page

Hope everyone is having a blessed week so far. Just wanting to share with you a mini page I created for Karlas001 mini page swap themed lace and pearls. Hoping you will like it as much as I have liked putting it together. This was a bit challenging for me because I made it a point that I wouldn't use any of the craft flowers I sell on my ETSY shop www.jentaleigh.etsy.com because since I have them handy I do tend to use them a little too much in all my projects.  They are beautiful, but I decided I needed to take myself up to the challenge lol.... The paper I used for this page was the K & Co. Julianne paper line which I used the 6x6 sheets because the print of the flowers is much smaller. I used the Martha Stewart butterfly punch as well as pearls, bling and pearlized button. On some of the solids I ran them through my cuddle bug to give them some dimension and I also incorporated some burlap, cotton fabric for the cover. Sheer fabric was used for the making of my small yoyo flowers. Hope you like this page wishing you a blessed rest of the week.

Many Hugs

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.....

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!
