Get to Bloggin'!

Ok, time has gotten away from me...hard to believe January is over tomorrow!!! I have been working on quite a few projects, both large and small.  We are a military family with orders to move this summer so the big clean out has begun!!!  Not sure what I am going to do with all the clothes, junk, and collections but we were very close to being overweight(well we were overweight but with the box and paper allowance..everything was good:) the last time and hubby has informed me the military home we will probably move into is much smaller than the current house we live in now!!! but such is the life of a military wife and like always I will find a way to make the furniture and curtains all fit:)

I finished this little project a few weeks ago but just recently uploaded my pixs and getting them on the blog!  I got this idea from www.howdoesshe.com

 

This project was fun, I bought no supplies except for the wooden blocks and since I save every scrap piece of scrapbook paper I have ever bought it was super cheap!

Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog...make sure you check out www.howdoesshe.com for a complete tutorial on this project!  With their simple instructions you can give it your own flair!

Holiday Craft....Yes, the Holidays are over:)

Forgive my lateness with this craft/post!  This is a craft my daughter and I made over the Holidays...I have quite a few of these lovely acorn sets but she is newly married and wanted her own set for her house!  Funny how they make fun of your stuff till they want their own:)

I cannot take credit for this creation....my mother has made these for years, they are beautiful with greenery underneath a cake platter, or in the middle of a centerpiece for a table.  I also apologize because I still had a few pieces of greenery out that were unable to fit in rubbermaid totes!  The lack of color is because I did not want to pull out Christmas decorations that I had just put up:)

We made these by purchasing plastic acorns at hobby lobby for a dollar, I will admit they were hard to find this year!  Silver spray paint is what was used as the base coat.  After drying we applied craft glue to the top of the acorn and silver glitter.  After drying completely, this set was adorned with mirrored beads....this is where you can get creative and use any type of bead, etc.  Hot glue is what we used to make the beads stick.  After the glue dried we sprayed with a glossy finish sealant, normally I use matte but these are on the sparkly side!  

I also apologize in advance for all my photography!!!! I do not now or will ever claim to be a photographer!!!  Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog:)
