Gift Bag


Simple gift for a friend at work who's leaving. We are putting together a snack basket so I just grabbed one of everything in the cabinets and tied it up in a brown paper bag with one of the recycled magazine bows.

Happy for You Card

This took about 3 seconds to make. Used a pre-folded black card, put a ribbon border on the bottom and layered the happy for you sticker onto an inked pink scalloped circle and tied a bow on a top.

Paper Covered Canvas


I mod podged 12x12 papers to flat canvases and used the same paper as a border on the top to tie them all together. I hot glued ribbon to the back to hang them.

Recycled Magazine Bows


Made a couple of these bows...very easy. Just cut strips, looped them together and fastened them with a brad.

Here are the numbers

I didn't have the number rub ons I thought I had so I just used different stickers

Muffin Tin Advent Calendar






Here is the muffin tin advent calendar we made yesterday. I just need to add the rub on numbers. It's basically just twinchies with two strips of magnets on the back. Each one has a peanut butter cup that fits perfectly in the mini muffin tin except for the last one, which will be the 24th day, has a little rhinestone star necklace for my niece.

Winter Cards

Winter cards with little mittens and birdie stickers...not sure what I'm doing with them yet but thought they were cute.

Birthday Card Scrapbook Page

Here's the scrapbook page I made with a pocket to hold my birthday cards since I don't have any pictures. The cupcake was a birthday card that I glued to the pocket.

Closet Curtain


Here's the simple closet curtain I made last year. It was in the guest bedroom but it looks really good with the wall color in the craft room.

Christmas Tree


Use pinking shears to cut a triangle out of green felt.
Sew the long sides then stuff with polyfill and sew the bottom leaving small space in center for stem.
Hot glue buttons and ribbon bows on to decorate. Add a sparkly star topper.
Paint a small terra cotta pot and fill with floral foam.
After the tree stem (dowel) is in the foam, hot glue spanish moss to cover the foam.

Birthday Card & Envelope




Christmas Boxes



Tried out a new size - very shallow. Good for a gift card. I hot glued them this time and it went much faster than double stick tape.

Pam's Halloween Decor for me


Here is the Halloween home decor item Pam made for me for our swap. It's really cute - pumpkins sitting on a stick with ghosts and spiders dangling from fishing line. The spiders are my favorite :) Something like this would be very cute for each season...
