For us crafters, it is a time to shine and a time to overextend! More often than not, I am overwhelmed by the ideas swimming in my head. And yet, I love that crazy, I don't have time for another thing that goes on during the Christmas season.<br />
<br />
This year, with the move, I don't know where anything is. And the stuff I have found, I can't get to! But you make do. We bought a new tree, that will become Amanda's when she moves. Hopefully next year I will have found mine. We had a beautiful 10 foot tree, that we used for many years. But we left it behind because the ceilings in our rental are not even close enough for that bad boy! I have also found lights, lots of lights that will go outside, if I get a minute. I found a cute light up Ho Ho Ho for my fireplace and my favorite Santa Claus for there also. I am good. Sad that I have all kinds of stocking stuffers and no stockings. :-)<br />
<br />
As for kards, Amanda decided she wanted to send some this year. So I made 20 "Do You Wanna Build A Snowman?" kards for her. The inside contains the pieces you need to build your snowman on the front of the kard.<br />

No matter what you chose to do for Christmas, remember to take a breath once in a while. Put your feet up. Have a cup of hot chocolate. And relax. It only happens once a year, and if you blink, you miss it.<br />
<br />
Scrappy Christmas!<br />

I want to blog. I really really do. I sit down to blog. I really really do. Then life seems to happen. Out of the blue. Whammo. Life.<br />
<br />
So I am going to try again. At least for today.<br />
<br />
I moved. To Missouri. Three weeks ago, almost 4 now. It is a huge adjustment for me. I have lived in the home Keith designed for 26 happy years. And we raised our daughter there. But, Keith and Amanda got jobs in Missouri, so here I am. Keith was here for 11 months without me. Amanda was here for 6 months. I am thrilled that we are all in the same place again!! <br />
<br />
But I miss my kraft stuff! Ha! I have unpacked roughly 40 boxes of kraft stuff so far! And it is all stuff that I use, but not the stuff I need!! I have some paper, but not my PAPER! I have some die cuts, but not my DIE - CUTS! I have some stuff to color, but not my stuff to COLOR!!<br />
<br />
I love to color. Coloring makes me happy. Puts me in a happy place. Calming. Soothing. So, imagine how happy I was a few days ago... when I found my Copics!! I found my Copics, my refills, my glitter pens, my colored pencils... tons of colorful goodness!!<br />
<br />
I do admit, I am not anywhere near as talented as the people I see online coloring. I would love to be that talented, but I am not. However, I am very very happy with my coloring, so maybe that is why I don't take the classes! Well, that and I live in Missouri now and don't know where anything is yet! I do know how to get to the Hobby Lobby now! FINALLY!!!<br />
<br />
Here are various kards that I have colored on. Any of the digital stamps are Bugaboo. I adore her work! I love her digitals! The other stamps are a variety. I love Lawn Fawn! Stamps by Judith. Peachy Keen. Stampin' Up! And Hobby Lobby bought stamps!<br />

I am still working on orders, seems that I do that a lot. A good thing though, right? Yes!</div>

Summer is filled with all kinds of busy stuff! Of course, the very very very best part of summer is TLC Camp! It is the best week of the year!</div>

Amanda and Thalia. They have been friends since they met at TLC Camp in 2008! Friends forever!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Also during the summer are Farmer's Markets. I do two of them and totally enjoy the day out! I am in Aurora on Wednesdays... sadly, it is not as great this year as it was last year, but I am doing well enough! Thursdays, I am in Bolingbrook at the Promenade. I share a tent with Soap Creek Design and we always have such a fun time! Look for the tent of laughing crazies!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We have also started fostering kittens. My daughter, Amanda, works at a shelter and is the emergency foster. So we get tiny kittens. Our first kitten was Juliette. But she had a name change at our home. She became Merida. She was afraid of everything and after working with her for 2 days, she got her Brave on and became Merida.</div>

Merida was with us for just a few days and then she was paired up with another tiny kitten and went to another foster home. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After Merida, we got Liam and Lexi. They were 3 weeks when we got them and we still have Lexi! Liam reached his goal weight of 2.2 lbs after 7 weeks with us and was adopted in just 10 days! I miss him! Lexi is a tiny girl. She is now 12.5 weeks and still under 2 lbs. That is okay with us, we are not sure if we are giving Lexi back! Shhhhhh, don't tell Keith.</div>

I have been working on orders, which is great, some of them on the fly!<br />
<br />
I have done 50th Anniversary invites for my Uncle and Aunt, many baby kards, birthday kards, and a bunch of Disney kards. Book korners are going like hot cakes! As fast as I make them, they are gone! I have been donating a lot of them also, to different charities that are using them for goodie bags! Harley helping hands and the MS Walk are the most recent.<br />
<br />
Speaking of MS walk, I am walking this year. I have to dear friends who have this horrible disease and just feel like I need to do something. I am trying to raise as much money as I can. Here is the link, if you feel the need to help! Any amount, small or large, is so very appreciated and needed!! MS Sucks!<br />
<br />

<br />
I discovered, with a little help from my CM friends, a new Pop Up kard that I just love. I have made a few of these, mostly for birthdays, but I have done a couple for other occasions too. Here is the link for you to watch and try. It really is easier than it looks. Takes some time to decorate, but cutting the kard out is not difficult. Like most of them, the folding in several directions at the same time seem to be the toughest.<br />

I really do. I just don't know what to blog about. I mean really, how many times do you want to look at the kards I make? Or the ideas that I borrow and revise? Or the stuff I come up with on my own? My husband, bless his heart, keeps saying I am the perfect person for blogging. Really? He thinks that because when I get something in my head and become obsessed with it... well, that makes me the perfect candidate for blogging. Not sure, but I think he just called me a little miss know it all! Humph!<br />
<br />
Well, it got me to thinking. Dang it... now I will have to give him credit!! I love to make kards. I think you all know that. I love love love to make kards! I also love to share my kards. Whether you buy them or I just give them away, I love to share! I want to share. More.<br />
<br />
I have decided to pick a kard a blog and post a "how to"... now keep in mind that it won't be me doing the how to. I am going to post the same how to that I learn from. Then I will post several kards that I make in that style. I would love for you to make your own kards. Or to try to make your own kards. But if you just don't want to, and you fall in love with the kard I show you.... I can make it for you! The bulk of these kards will be my $3.00 specialty kards. <br />
<br />
Let's get this ball rolling...<br />
<br />
This is the link I used to make a Center Step Kard. You will find hat I use Splitcoast Stampers tutorials a lot. They are really easy to follow. They are easy to understand and to make on my own. You will also notice that I never duplicate the embellishments. I do my own thing. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/centerstepcard/">http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/centerstepcard/</a><br />
<br />
I tend to print up the directions, staple them together and then refer to them often!!<br />
<br />
Now here are a few Center Step Kards that I have done.<br />

I hope that 2013 brings you all that you deserve. <br />
<br />
I "rang in the New Year" with a new little guy that I was sitting for, Chip! Chip is an 8 lb. yorkie, that has become the newest client of The Critter Sitter. He is a cutie. I was able to hang with Chip from 12-27 until I came home late this afternoon.<br />
I enjoy Critter sitting. I figure that everyone's fuzzy babies should be home, safe and sound, while Mom and Dad are away. I am blessed with an awesome kennel that my Riley loves to be at, but not everyone is happy taking their fuzzy ones to a kennel. So I go to their homes and move in while they are away. Everyone is happy! Mom, Dad and, most of all, fuzzy one!!<br />
Right now, I have three fuzzy babies that I hang with, but I am booked for two more dogs and a bunch of cats! How much fun is my life???<br />

I am entering the krafting world in 2013 with a bang! I have 1 order to get done right away and then I am making the invitations for my Aunt and Uncle's 50th Anniversary! I am so excited about this! I did a 25th Anniversary last year and now this! Super excited! I can't wait to look at papers and embellishments!<br />
<br />
I have been making more and more book corners. They are addicting little buggers! I have made Noms (googlie eyes and teeth), Clops (one googlie eye and teeth), Potts (Harry Potter paper, eye glasses and scar), Sirs (mustaches and monocles), Hello Kitty, Darth Vadar, Angry Birds, Mickey, Minnie, Winnie the Pooh, College Teams, Japanese paper collectibles, Santa Claus......... and the possibilities are endless!!<br />

This is why I am up!My daughter, Amanda, starts a new job tomorrow. She will be working for the Forest Preserve.. Deer Management. Yup, just what it sounds like. Population control. She starts graveyard shifts, 6:30 pm - 6:30 am and is changing her body clock. I am keeping her company for a bit longer and then I am heading to bed. <br />
<br />
Her job is seasonal, so in a couple of months, she begins the task of finding a new job. Hopefully a permanent job in an aquarium not too awful far from home. Even a zoo would be nice, but her love is fish.... ugly fish are her favorite. The flounder. :-)<br />
<br />
But back to her seasonal job... and this is not for the faint of heart, so be warned. Deer Management is, basically, population control of deer. There is a certain number of deer that need to be "managed" so that they don't take over. There are not too many natural predators of deer, so short of introducing bears, cougars and coyotes into your environment to control the deer population.. it is done by people. The coolest part comes after the deer is "managed." The deer is dissected and many of the organs are removed and tested. Tested for genetic problems and diseases that we don't want in our environment. A couple of teeth are removed to check the age of the deer. Basically, slice open the teeth and count the rings type of thing. The heart goes to a wildlife preservation for the birds to treat on and then the food pantry comes in, takes the deer and feeds tons of people. How cool is that?!?! <br />
<br />
My delicate flower is hoping to dissect and research! Somedays it is tough to listen to her stories! :-)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I have been keeping busy filling orders and doing shows. I had a show Saturday and have one more this next weekend at my house. Feel free to drop by if you are in the area. I am debating about doing a show on the 18th and my last show of the season is on the 8th of December. Seems like it never ends and that is good! I love the opportunities to show my kards and to make new kards! I have 2 full pages of orders that I will be working on this week, along with getting my house set up for the show. It will keep me busy and centered. I am going to miss my girlie. She will work during the nights when we sleep and then sleep when I want to chat about her day! Not going to lie... this is going to be tough!<br />
<br />
Enjoy your day... hug your kiddos!!<br />
~Happy Krafting ~eFreak23http://www.blogger.com/profile/12522589854945264473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866082823032765780.post-26010631569577304332012-10-18T15:00:00.001-05:002012-10-18T15:00:24.261-05:00And yet again.....I am not meeting my blogging requirements! Of course these requirements are all in my head and, theoretically, I should just blog when I have time. But that never seems to happen because I never seem to have time.... so I feel bad!<br />
<br />
Not a lot bad... but a tinge of badness swirls about.<br />
<br />
I have entered into a new venture the last month or so and it has been keeping me quite busy. I have, for the last few years, been available to sit for the critters of my friends. Whether it is just stopping by a few times a day, or actually moving into their home while they are away. I love it! I am an animal lover and if I could, would have a house full of dogs and probably cats too! So I have decided to take this to a bit bigger scale and pass my name around to all of my friends with critters and let them know that The Critter Sitter is open for business. I have been gone quite a bit in the last 2 months. I pack up my stuff and off I go! It has really been fun! Most of my jobs are close enough to home that I can be there for dinner each night and I can fulfill my duties at the Dance Centre too! My kards come with me and I am able to set up shop from anywhere!!<br />
<br />
This weekend, I am Krafting it up at a craft show in Hoffman Estates. I am looking forward to spending the day meeting and greeting and hanging out with my daughter, who is going with me. She has been sick this past week and is looking forward to getting out of the house. <br />
<br />
I have a few end of the year Krafties lined up, including one at my house. That one is my baby because the main focus for this one is Pampered Chef and my friend Kathy Gilmore donating 25% of sales to TLC Camp! TLC Camp is my heart! So go to my Pampered Chef website at the bottom of this paragraph and purchase something... knowing in your heart that you are helping to send a child with cancer to day camp for a week! It is our (Amanda and I) favorite week of the year!!<br />
<br />

(Let me know if this doesn't work for you and I will get it resolved!)!<br />
<br />
<br />
Much krafting has been going on here. I have discovered the absolute fun of book corners! Right now I have made two kinds, Nom, Noms and Sirs.<br />
<br />
These are examples of Nom, Noms.....<br />

<br />
I, of course, have been neglectful to blogging. However, I have been thinking about blogging. Busy just got the better of me.<br />
<br />
I am over flowing with orders and loving it! But it does mean that a lot of stuff takes a back seat to kard making. My house, for example, could use a major cleaning! I have managed to get the laundry done fairly regularly! Go me!! Dance started again last week, so I am back at work outside of the house. Tomorrow is my last farmer's market of the season... endings and beginnings... circle of life.<br />
<br />
I was lucky to get to the Scrapbook Expo a couple of weeks ago. My bestie and I usually go, but she was on a cruise to Alaska so my Amanda said she would go! What a trooper!! Together we found these AWESOME stamps from RubberNecker Stamps. Oy!! I call them Pretty Ladies and they are to die for!! Here are the Pretty Ladies all colored and put on kards!<br />

I have done complete sets in red, orange, blue, green (gone already... didn't even get them on kards), aqua and purple. I can't wait to make more in other colors! I used colored pencils on them, since my Copic markers are a bit too much for these delicate ladies.<br />
<br />
Tonight I am working on 42 birthday invites. I just finished invites for a third birthday and a 25th anniversary. I have outstanding orders for Christmas kards, Sympathy kards, Wedding kards and Birthday kards! They start next week!! My only complaint is that I don't have time to finish my daughter's Graduation Announcements!! <br />
<br />

It was what I was afraid of. My life just gets in the way!<br />
<br />
I have moved into my bestie's house to take care of her dog, Presley! I have been there since the 23rd and will be there until the first. I can honestly tell you that I am getting a ton of kards finished! I have finished 28 so far. Here are a couple...<br />

I have been doing the Aurora West Farmer's Market each Wednesday and have been having a blast with Pampered Chef Queen, Kathy Gilmore! I sell much less than she does, but laugh just as hard, so it is so much fun! I paid for my table after 2 weeks of being there, so no matter what, I have made money. I have also taken a ton of orders, so that keeps me busy as well!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also do the Bolingbrook Farmer's Market once a month. That one seems to have a larger crowd, but in all honesty, it has many more vendors and sellers in a much bigger space. I enjoy that one also, but my friends are not near me, so I don't laugh as much. I do get more krafting done at that one though.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have 3 more in Aurora and 2 more in Bolingbrook. Well, I fibbed. I won't be at the 9/5 day in Aurora. :-)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have also done a craft show in Bolingbrook for their Jubilee. I sold one stinkin' kard! But I spent the day with my daughter, Mom and a friend of mine who was selling also. This kard is similar to the kard I sold. Love this little guy. The inside left of the kard says... "Sorry to hear you're DRAGON."</div>

I have also signed up for a few different shows. I will be at the John Deere weekend in Wisconsin for their show. That is the weekend of September 14th. I will be in Kenosha, Wisconsin at the Moose Lodge craft show on October 8th. And I will be at my Church's craft show in December. Keeping busy! I have a few outstanding orders right now, but I have finished about 5 orders and have them all delivered. Couple more will be delivered this week and next week!</div>

I have a handful of kards on Storenvy.com to try and sell. If you have not heard of Storenvy, give it a look. It is similar to Etsy, but much more friendly to us crafters because it is free!! Yay for free!! I have taken all of my kards off of Etsy, because I don't sell enough to cover the fees. And yes, I have yet to sell anything on Storenvy, but it is free, so it is okay! :-) I have many new friends that are on Storenvy! They should all comment on here and leave their pages so that my friends can go look at their awesome stuff!</div>

If you ever know one thing about me, it should be that. I AM an Olympic Junkie. I love them! I watch everything I can. All hours of the day and night. I cry when they finally get here. I cry during them. I cry when they are over.</div>

My husband surprised us in 1996 with tickets to the Olympics in Atlanta. It was an awesome time, even though we didn't even spend the night. We flew in, went to our events, hung out in Olympic Park and flew home. </div>

Next came 2002 and we went to Salt Lake City for Amanda's 12 birthday and the winter Olympics. Again, Amanda and I knew nothing about this. That man does love his surprises! We stayed a bit this time, couple of days. We went to our events and hung out in Olympic Park. A blast!! </div>

My krafty life has a life of it's own lately. I have been doing Farmer's Markets and not doing them well, I might add. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy them and I have my table paid for, but the last 2 weeks at the Wednesday Market, I sold $5.00 in kards. Sheesh. Tomorrow is the day for my Thursday Market, so fingers crossed!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I would begin to get a complex if I didn't sell so many kards away from the Farmer's Markets. I have gotten 4 requests for invitations and announcements, three events that I have not done invites for! I did invitations for a Bridal Shower and for a third birthday Ballet party. I am doing announcements for a baby girl and invitations for a 25th anniversary party. Fun stuff! (here is where I shamelessly plug a few of my favorite things.... I found the best digital stamps to use on the Shower invites from Bugaboo Stamps and my Cricut has been rocking for the birthday invites and the baby announcements)!</div>

I was critter watching. My Mom went on vacation with my brother and my niece to Texas. It was probably the first time they were on vacation together since high school, a few years ago. I stayed at Mom's house to take care of her critters, Pam, Lucy and Otis. Pam and Luce are felines and Otis is canine. It was a crowded twin size bed at Mom's house! Pammy actually slept on my back most of the night. And Luce?? Well, she was my krafting buddy....... from hell!<br />

She, ever so kindly, allowed me to have part of my table. I spent 10 days there and could not imagine being without my kraft supplies. Paper, adhesives, Copic markers, glitter pens and my Cricut... these are a few of my favorite things!!<br />
<br />
During the times that I was not running home when my upstairs bathroom toilet sprung a leak and soaked the downstairs bathroom and basement, running home to head to work, running home to toss in a load of laundry because Amanda worked in pigs that day.... I was able to get a bunch of kards done.<br />

Truth is, I don't blog. Well, I didn't blog. I don't have the time, I feel, it takes to have a successful blog. That being said, I am going to give it a try. If I don't have the time I want to dedicate to it... I will blog how sorry I am that I am not blogging on a regular basis.<br />
<br />
That all said.... Welcome to my blog. Krafts by Kondrot. <br />
<br />
Krafts by Kondrot started many many years ago. I would cross-stitch designs on baby clothes and baby bibs and sell them. I then pulled out a sewing machine and made story books and crayon and coloring book holders. I think I sold about a thousand of those. My eyes were crossed! Then I started making photo boards. And eventually, I started making my own Kards. I still cross-stitch, but my love of paper has taken over the house!<br />
<br />
When Amanda went off to Michigan State University (Go GREEN!), I desperately needed something to do. I was crying every day and the blue funk around here was wearing me down. I decided to jump feet first into kard making and I have never looked back! I still cried every time we left her at school, for 4 years, but, at least when I got home, I had something to do.<br />
<br />

The stamp used is by my favorite digital stamp company - Bugaboo Stamps. You will see them a lot in my kards. I love them!!</div>

I guess that about sums up how KBK came to be. I will be adding more and more kards to this blog, but you can find the majority of my work at facebook.com/KraftsByKondrot. Or you can even purchase kards at kraftsbykondrot.storenvy.com</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All kards are made to order and can be customized to your liking.</div>

No Problem!Today I am posting some of the newer kards that I have made. We lost our power at noon on the first of July and were without until noon on the 4th. Boy did I get a boatload of kards made!<br />
<br />
I am always looking for different ideas, be them in nature or my own weird brain. I take a bit of heat for being online at my computer all of the time and truth is, I am there a ton of time. I am at my little desk, where I make most of my kards, and it has my computer on it so that I can go to different websites looking at ideas and supplies. It never stops me from having fun or going out though!<br />
<br />
All of the kards I will post today were done with Bugaboo Digital Stamps. They are my favorite and I love to work with them. I print them out on white card stock and color them with my Copic markers... another favorite! Sadly, I am not as talented with my Copics as many other paper crafters are, but I am happy with the results and I love to use them. I am on the lookout for a class on Copics. :-)<br />

I tend to be a "simple" kard maker. I love layers and colors. Usually I will make a kard base, add a layer of solid card stock and then a layer of patterned paper. I pull it all together with a layered embellishment of some kind. Sometimes it is a stamp or digital stamp that I have colored and layered or it can be a die cut that I used my Cricut for! And don't even get me started on how much I LOVE MY CRICUT!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am pretty sure that you will learn, and hear, a lot about my favorite items. I have things that I will not trade for anything and I am loyal to a fault!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These kards shown above are all for an order. I think she will like them. I have a bunch more to make for the Bolingbrook and Aurora Farmer's Market. And to put in my stash!</div>
