MERRY CHRISTMAS....

Just logging on long enough to say I hope you have a VERY Merry Christmas!! Hubby is home - and I plan to take off until after the first of the year to spend time with him....

This will be the last extended period that he is home before his deployment.... so I am sure you understand!

Having said that - I will be hit and miss - but come the first of the year you can expect BIG things to be happening here at Beloved Keepsakes!

I hope you all have a great holiday!!!

Until Next Time!

I need YOUR help....

If you live near a Michael's craft store and think you will be getting in there anytime in the next few days..... would you be willing to do me a HUGE favor??? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE?!?!?!

I am looking for a metal 3-D snowflake ornament that they have there... they are on clearance for 60% off (hence they are only 99 cents each!).

If you are willing to go to your Michael's and see if they have these for me - I would be more than willing to pay you for them, plus shipping and for the gas money to get there!!!!

They have two different ones - and I am only looking for one of them. The ones I am looking for are the ones with the squares near the end.....

Here is a photo (you can click on it to get a better view):


I need as many of these as I can get my hands on... and since Christmas is here - they probably don't have very many of them....

If you get a chance to go to your local Michael's and check for me - I would GREATLY appreciate it!!!!!

If you have any questions - please contact me at lori_mcdnld@yahoo.com .

Like I said - I would GREATLY GREATLY appreciate any helping in finding as many of these as I can!!!!

Hope you have a GREAT weekend (the last one before Christmas!!!) Whoo Hooo!!!

Until Next Time~

Coming soon....

If you read my blog you know I have been very very very busy making Christmas presents this year.... well.... while I would love to share them with you now - most of the recipients read my blog! So we will have to wait on those!!!

But I did want to show you one really really cute project I did! As a matter of fact it is soooo cute I decided I will be offering them in the Beloved Keepsakes Boutique (in a very limited quantity).

My mother's birthday was yesterday and I made this adorable tea light candle holder for her....



The cut out says "blessings" so I used photos of my dad, myself, hubby and then my parents dog and of course the grand puppies!!!!

I also have a holder that will be available that is just like this - but instead of the word "blessings" it has "Faith, Hope, Love" cut out of it!!! Just tooooo cute!!!

So be looking for these to hit the "Boutique" after the first of the year!

I am off to finish up all custom photo star orders I have to get out!

Hope you have a very blessed day~

Until Next Time!

I am soo sorry I have been MIA.... but it is just crazy around here!!! I have FINALLY got all my gifts but TWO completed!!! Wheew!!! And about 3 PM today I finally got all the ones I had to get shipped - wrapped, boxed and shipped out!!! Thank GOODNESS!!!!

You would think that I would be able to breath - but no.... I have three 15" stars to get out the door, 14 ornament sized stars and then three photo bracelets and two ribbon pins..... so.... as you can see I am busy!!!!

Having said allllll of that!!! Hubby actually made it home this past weekend and we FINALLY got our Christmas tree!!! It really is starting to feel like Christmas here!!!


I think it turned out quite well - even though we had a "Charlie Brown" moment when hubby decided the tree needed a little bit cut off from the bottom!!! (And for the record - I said DON'T DO IT!!! But did he listen!?!?!?!) Bahahaha!!!!

I may be hit and miss for the next several days as I try to get all my Beloved Keepsakes orders out!!!

Hope you had a GREAT weekend!!

A GOLD Christmas....

Whoo Hoo..... Looks like we are going to have a GOLD Christmas this year!!!!! Are you scratching your head, trying to figure out what I mean? Do I mean gold lights, gold ornaments, gold gifts???? NONE of them.....

We are having a GOLD Christmas because my dearly beloved, hunk of adoring hubby was PROMOTED!!!! Whooooo Hoooooo!!!!

Yep it is official..... hubby is now MAJOR McDonald!!!! (Man that just sounds strange!!! He has been CPT Mac for sooo long in my eyes.... Major Mac??? Nah - Maybe MAJOR pain in the rump! Bahahaha)



I am just soooo stinking proud of him I can't stand it!!!!! He has opted out of a "formal" ceremony (he'd rather poke his eye out with a sharp stick!!!) - so I think I will be traveling to the unit next week so they can pin him!!!!

He has been doing a Major's job for over a year now... and he totally deserves this promotion! I am just soooo sooo sooo proud!

I have to read (well type) to you the first item on the "official" memo - for those of you that are not in the military - so you can understand JUST how proud - and WHY I am so proud......


The President of the United States has reposed special trust and confidence in your patriotism, valor, fidelity and abilities. In view of these qualities and your demonstrated potential for increased responsibility, you are, therefore promoted......


Yeah that pretty much explains it all!!!!

Ok - I am off to work on my Christmas gifts..... Don't forget to leave a comment on yesterday's blog to be eligible for my drawing for the FREE "Twilight" book mark.... I'll be holding that drawing tomorrow!!

Until Next Time!

Feeling like an elf...

I just need some of those little pointy shoes and a pointy cap with a bell- and I think I would be complete! Well that is if Santa's elf's wear ratty old sweatpants and t-shirts that are three sizes too big and covered in paint, dried glue and mud!!! Bahahaha!!!

Yep you guessed it - I am still busy working away! In addition to having five star orders I need to get out... I am also still working on my 20 hand made Christmas gifts that are not done yet!!!! CRAZY - I KNOW!!!! Actually all together I think I have a total of 26 hand made gifts that I am making this year!!!! So that means I have six of them completed!!! Hmmm.... I better get on it!!!

But before I go... I wanted to share with you one of my "Twilight" gifts I made - and offer one up for a FREE GIVE AWAY here on my blog..... One of the gifts that we are giving this year is the complete hard back book collector's edition of the "Twilight" Saga... and I thought what would be more perfect than a hand crafted book marker to go with the set....


So I designed and created this book marker that has photos of all four covers of the books from the saga.....





I think it turned out quite cute!!! And if YOU think so too... then leave a comment in the comment section of this blog posting and I will do a drawing for one LUCKY winner to get one for FREE!!!!

(SOLD SOLD SOLD Now... if you are not feeling lucky - I actually have one extra one that I am willing to sell! It would make a perfect Christmas gift for that "Twilight" fan on your list! I am selling it for $8 plus $2 shipping. If you are interested - please email me at lori_mcdnld@yahoo.com and I will send you a pay pal invoice! SOLD SOLD SOLD)

I only made three of these... one to give away as a gift, one to give away as a prize here on my blog and one to sell!!! So each one of these are one of only three ever made!!!! Don't miss out!!!

Ok - I am off to get back to my elf'ing work!!! Bahahahah!!!!

Until Next Time!

Cousin's Day....

I hope you all had a WONDERFUL holiday weekend!! I know that I personally ate WAY WAY WAY toooooo much!!! It was sooo nice to have hubby home for the week of Thanksgiving! I am missing him already! He will be back in time for Christmas as well - and that is going to be awesome!

But I have to tell you - in addition to a yummy Thanksgiving meal that my mom made - we had a wonderful weekend as well!

On Saturday we went to "Cousin's Day" at my cousins farm in South Ga (near Pearson for those of you that know Georgia!)


At the farm they grow tobacco (of course), peanuts (of course) and they "use to" grow sugar cane back in the day! Well they have decided to bring back a small crop of Sugar Cane and host a "Cousins Day" where all the cousins (both old and young) could come out to the farm and have an honest to goodness cane grinding and syrup boil!!!!!

So on Saturday - we headed to the farm!!!! And it was such an AWESOME day.....

First of all - you have to see these two photos I got of my hubby "on the farm" !!! I think that they turned out really hubba hubba!!!


Now that you checked him out - I will give you a quick play by play of the making of Cane Syrup!!!

First you have to grind the cane! Back in the day they use to use a mule to run the grinder but now they use the tractor!

Once you get about 60 gallons of cane juice you put in the boiler and start the fire! (Once again - back in the day they had to keep stoking the fire as it was a wood fire - now it is done by gas.) One interesting thing - this boiler pictured below was actually casted at the steel mill in Savannah, GA, which is just up the road from me!!

As the can juice starts to boil - all the impurities start bubbling up to the top - so when it gets to be a certain thickness you have to skim the gunk off the top and strain it out! Here is my cousin David (who owns the farm) straining the stuff off the top!

Once the skimming is done - well you just have to let it boil! The juice has to boil for about 4 hours in order to become syrup. So while it is boiling - we of course take part in some Eating.....

And then of course we have to take part in some singing!!! Picture below is my grandmother's (who past a way a few months ago) sister and brother along with their spouses and then my cousin Patty (who is David's wife) playing the piano. My Aunts and Uncle grew up singing good ole gospel songs in the family church! And let me tell you - if you ever want to hear some old time gospel singing just head on over to our family church - you will be in for a REAL treat!!


Once we were done signing and eating - it was time to check on the syrup! Yep - it was ready to be dipped up! Notice the yummy golden brown color!!!

Once they dip it up it has to be strained into the pot! Which all the male cousins where clamoring to help out with!


Then it is mixed with some corn syrup to make sure it doesn't candy - and then low and behold! You have Cane Syrup!!!


Which we all got to take home a bottle of the syrup that was made that day!

Now that was what I call a fun filled family day! It is what the holidays truly are all about! Spending time with family and those you love!

Hope you have enjoyed my cane grinding and boiling explanations! I have some star orders I need to get out - and I need to get busy working on my Christmas presents!
Hope you all have a GREAT week!
Until Next Time!

I love love love the holidays though so I just can't complain! Between hubby getting to come home from all his training missions to visiting friends and doing my Christmas shopping - it has been a crazy crazy few days!!!!

Speaking of visiting friends - we went down to Jacksonville yesterday to see my best friend and her family! Now in addition to being able to spend some great time with my bestest bud, getting to eat some major yummy Japanese, and getting to do some scrapbooking shopping.... I also got to see my god daughter!!!

Holly cow! It has been since August since I have seen her - but I was totally shocked how much she has grown!!! She is so not a baby any more!!!

As a matter of fact - here is a quick snap shot that I took yesterday!


I have to say (and yes I am bias) but she is sooo pretty! Don't you agree!!!

Now in addition to doing everything listed above - I also have 17 - yes I said 17 new files up at Paperthreads!!! Are you as excited as I am???? No?? Well here is a sneak peek - lets see if that changes you mind!!! Bahahahahaha....













Now - don't run out and snatch these up today - please just wait.... because all my files will be 35% off on Friday, Saturday and Sunday!!! So get them then - while they are on sale!!!

Ok - that's it for now - I still have my order for 100 white ribbon photo pins complete so I am off to work on that!!!

Until Next Time!
