Christmas Crafts... What did you make?

Hey Gang!  The season is upon us!  It's time to break out the Christmas music, put up a tree, and get my house all glittery with beautiful ornaments.  Here are a couple of the Christmas Crafts that I am working on this year....   The first is some wooden letters from Hobby Lobby-- painted red and then brushed with ModPodge and red glitter added.  

Next is my simple version of Christmas Subway art.. not sure if I have added enough words-- but I wanted it to be simple-- because I put a lot of greenery on my mantle, and you won't even be able to see half of the words at the bottom!   

And finally, here are some christmas ornaments that I made with my mom this past weekend- using floor polish and glitter.  I added some vinyl letters with my new Silhouette Cameo (Which I adore).

Christmas stores are so cool

Yesterday, I had the fortune of taking a day off and spent it hanging out with April searching for the perfect Christmas decor.  I think we successfully found that times 10!  check out these pics I snuck in the store:

It's not easy being so Crafty!! :)

I'm working really hard to expand my business and one of my goals this week was to get some things prepared for my amazing friend - Sharhonda from For My Princess Tutus to put in her display for this weekends upcoming craft show.   Check out the mess in my craft room!  

ooohhhhh glittteeerrrrrrrrrr!!!   I love glitter!

A total mess, right?   This is my process.  Believe it or not, I know exactly where everything on this table is.     So, be on the lookout for tomorrow night's showing of what will be displayed!   I'm so excited!!!!

Christmas is coming sooner than you think!

Trash to Treasure time

I will admit something pretty wrong. lol When I drive down my alley, and people leave something cool out to be picked up for the trash-- I take it. But, only if it looks clean and cool.

And, by clean, I mean, not-smelly or food stuff. Furniture mostly. Stuff like end tables, ect. Well, this summer, I came across two train cases. I slowed down.. then thought-- those could be cool for something. Let me think about it... so I took em. hahah

This is what has become of one of them. I think I might give this to my tween-age cousin with some crafty stuff in it. She will love that! But, how do I get the 1970s smell out of that thing. I put some Sensi brick in there-- just to see if that will help for a bit.

The case was originally a really not so cute avocado color. So, this is a definate improvement. The color now is a really sweet aqua, kind of hard to see in pic.

Anybody that might ever read my blog on occasion have a suggestion???
