The Wedding Card

For some reason I loved this card when Jody sent me the idea.She sends me tons of inspirations..thanks girlfriend.... I of course changed a bit to fit my needs.... I still like it and know they will too...and I got to sew. Life is good...

So on now to see if I can find some small butter knives to bead, then this gift is ready to present on Friday. Whew! I am usually way more ahead of the game than this. I am one of those get stuff done way ahead of time kinda people ya know...I rest easier this way. Life has just been getting in the way of my crafting needs these past few weeks...it just isn't right I tell ya.....I have one more swap to get done then I am going to rest for a bit...

I have to vamp up for making 4 halloween costumes in the next month....anyways have a comfortable crafting evening yourself. You deserve one right....

Wedding Gift

My Friend Mel is getting married for her first time to another friend of mine named John. I am so happy for them both...They are both wine lovers so I made this basket as a gift..they are going away to a beach to get married so we are having a dinner to host thier wedding. I etched the glasses with a heart I love from the Wedding Cricut cartridge, then put thier intials on the reverse side using the Jasmine Cricut cartridge...then made two small chesse plates with the same heart to go with them , thru in a dripless pourer and wha la!...I am hoping, if I get time to make 2 small beaded cheese knives too...she only gave us short notice here...lol...I need to get the card made now too and maybe a small candle....then will wrap it all up pretty and be on my way...

P.S. Man is it hard to take good pictures of etched stuff...everytime is a challenge..

Firefly Houses

I made these for my grandkids to catch fireflys. Up north fireflies are in abundance. this should be a safe place for them to observe them and set them free...

Firefly House

1 plastic container, I used a 16 oz. cappuccino mix container

1). Cut opening in front and lid of container. Cut plastic screen to fit openings..with tacky glue into place. Let dry thoroughly

2.) Choose graphics and size to fit on all sides and around opening in the front.…cut out and apply to front, sides and back of container..I put this poem on the back side….Firefly, Firefly come tonight,
Show me some cheer and pure delight,
Please come fly within my site.

3.) Embellish with glitter and things as desired.

Glue Bottle Holder

I am kinda weird in the fact that I like my glue to be ready to use when I need it. So I always store it somewhere upside down. In my craft bag, it is upside down, in my craft room, it is upside down, everywhere upside down..So I made this to match the rest of my craft room stuff, remember my recycled jars, so this will sit on my table and be the keeper of my upside down glue bottle.. I got this wood pencil holder a while back with a recipe box. I wanted to recipe box to mosaic for one of my girls kitchens. It turned out awesome, can be seen on my slide show at the bottom of my blog. The pencil holder on the other hand has sit in my garage for atleast 3 years...poor thing...Finally it is re-purposed to this beauty. I love it and will use it often now..it breathes a new life now.
