From 1-?? grandkids, surely we can customize a shirt just for you, your mother, father, grandparent, nana, papa, mimie or whatever they call them. Contact me today and Let's get Creative.

Unusual Embroidered Gifts

I decided to think outside the box or roll? What do you think about this? Drum Roll or Toilet Paper Roll, please. I will be selling these soon online. What a great idea for someone who has everything? I bet they don't have these? Many small designs will fit on these rolls, just trial and error- if it doesn't work, we just tear it off and try again.

Step back in time inside this adorable old train station complete with ticket counter and so much more.

Custom Logo Work

The above pictures are my graphics- made just for my business by Jessica Doodles-she did an awesome job on the graphics. Then the digitizer Stephanie from Heartstrings Embroidery converted the graphics into my embroiderable logo. Awesome work Ladies and thanks so much for sharing your talents with us.

Are you a small business looking for additional ways to advertise your business? Embroidered logo's to match your graphics is one way to effectively advertise.

We can take your graphics and turn it into some beautiful wearable art. I wear mine all the time. On denim shirts, sweatshirts, t-shirts. Also golf towels, kitchen towels even Toilet Paper.

Yep Toilet paper advertising? Is that funny or what. I have more customer requests for this than you can imagine. One company is CPS Plumbing. Another is Toney Contstruction, he builds new homes and I mentioned to him that he should leave a roll in each new house he sells.

Great way to advertise at open houses. CPS has showrooms where the customers can walk thru the visualize there baths, kitchens and spa's. What a great place to add TP, Embroidered Bath towels and so much more.

Primitive Toilet Paper

What a great way to decorate a shelf in the bathroom? Many styles to choose from including country, prim, flowers, butterflies and much more. Contact me and let's get creative. If you are in the Cameron Missouri area- stop by the Iron Horse Antique shop and take a browse thru the craft and primitive booths.

I have also embroidered compnay logo's on toilet paper for them- What a great conversation piece and inexpensive way to advertise your business.

Latest Ideas

Let's get Creative-is a big statement. Our oldest grandson just celebrated his 7th birthday. We embroidered several shirts for him in the hunting/fishing theme and then made this adorable and unique wall-hanging. It was a hit- "Awesome Grandma". Possibilites are endless for these quick to stitch Letter Lovies. These blocks are stuffable, appliqueable and so much more.

Enjoy my blog-more craft projects to come. Mothers day is coming soon and so is fathers day-so watch for my next post on grandma/grandma shirts.

MDA- St Joseph Missouri LOCK UP

2008 MDA LOCK-UP ST JOSEPH MISSOURI

Muscular Dystrophy Association

To: All of my friends, family and business acquaintances
From: Charlene Karger

Purpose of this Letter: To help me stay out of jail and raise money for the MDA 2008 Fundraiser in St Joseph Missouri.

A warrant has been issued for the Arrest of Charlene Karger. She will be jailed on April 24, 2008 at 9:00 am if bail is not raised.

Bail has been set at $1600.00 and I have less than 30 days to raise money for my bail or the PADDYWAGON will be picking her up at work and she will spend the rest of her day in captivity at the local Stoney Creek Jail.

They are serving some great jailhouse Grub (oh my gosh- I hate grits and biscuits/gravy) and they tell me the hospitality is wonderful (handcuffs wonderful??) I don’t think so.

If everything goes as planned and we raise enough money- my time spent will be minimal and courtesy of local MDS officials, I will be escorted back to work in a Limo. The best part of my day will be that we together raised enough money to send 2 kids to the annual MDA Summer Camp.

Donations can be made securely online-see the link below or clikc the header in this post to go directly to my site.

Our Labrador Duke Pasted Away

Duke was a Fox Red Labrador Retriever. He was 7 1/2 years old and he passed away this past weekend unexpectedly. We miss him dearly.

Duke had a personality like the character Eyeore from Winnie the pooh. He was laid back and such a sweet boy.

We still have Lily Babe. She misses him too, especially at feeding time, she looks for his dish to try and steal his food. It never happened though- duke wouldn't let anyone take his food.

Duke joined our other family dogs in Puppy Heaven on Sunday February 10, 2008. Amy, was our Irish/English setter, Gus-our chocolate lab grandson and chubbles-was a rott/lab mix.

We miss them all but know they are all up in heaven having a great time together.
