Crafting Away

This is for a sweet little girl about to get her very own big girl bedroom!
How exciting! It is a shadow box from Dollar Tree! I painted it, and glued in a flower! It even came with the hardware to hang up! You can make all sorts of fun things with these cheap-o boxes...Perhaps a handprint or footprint....or a little felted bird...oh, the possibilities!

A scarf for Kevin! It sat unfinished for months, and Mr. Observant never even noticed! ;) I hope it keeps him warm!
***


More dishrags...They are easy to make, and they eliminate the need to waste paper towels and napkins.
***


Bookmarks for all bibliophiles. Does anyone read anymore??? Recommend a great book and I will send you a bookmark!

I made these little houses from scrap wood my friend Melissa gave me. They were fun to make, and they bring a smile to my face. Thanks Melissa!


Have a great weekend! Hope everyone is staying warm!

Holy Moly! You are one busy girl..putting me to shame! The Boof Thief, by Marcus Zusak. You don't have to send me a bookmark..thought they are awesome! I love that book. It is ususally found in the teen section at the library/book store. This author has an amazing way with words.

love those little houses - you just gave me an idea - if i cut out little wooden houses i could let the kids decorate them with paint, markers, or maybe we could mod podge them! thank you for the inspiration. and about reading - i read all the time - probably too much :) i've been reading some classics that i missed as a child to my own children. and i recently devoured the twilight series - the last book i read in a 36 hour period. i'm kind of sad that i finished them - the books were such a fun (and easy) escape. what are you reading these days?
