Coloring turned crafty!

When your littlest wants to color with you, you go all in! I had this adult coloring book, used my CTMH ShinHan markers, CTMH Gold Shimmer brush [sparkly on poinsettias], and a 9" wood ornament shape I had [which i modge podged on later]. Bam, quality time and wall hanging...Happy Holidays ♡

Christmas cards - check

Sorry everyone that I haven't posted more lately, just getting the feeling back in my fingers...I just finished my Holiday Cards 95 to date! That's a lot of hand making, stamping, signing, addressing, folding of the newsletters, stuffing them, and stamping. SOMEONE ELSE is licking them shut because at each and every step I had people say do you want help as they continued to walk right out of the room so they couldn't hear me shout YES! By about 70 I was thinking do I know this person, do I really like that family lol! Those of you wondering where the big number comes from, I do our cards and my Mom's...so when you come from two giant families, then add in friends and "family"...we get to here! And this was the cut down list this year. I promise to post a photo of the card here in about a week, once they reach where they are off too.

Coloring images on the go tip


Tip of the day: so if you have a lot of stamped images to color or cut grab a lunch container through in your markers (only exact colors needed or little scissors) and carry in your bag for doing in waiting rooms, kids practices, etc. I find I spend hours in waiting rooms lately).  I have 224 images to color for upcoming cards and just make the most of my time I get 10-40 done per appointment, using the lid as the desk top.

Fall Decorations made fresh

Fall decorations are in the air, thanks to my girlfriend Alison for donating the flowers and birds. I had originally planned on making wreaths but thought the baskets gave a different and fun feel. They can easily be hung on the wall. Nothing is glued in and and be changed out.

DYI Hogwarts Robes and House scarves

The scarf is made out 8 sheets of felt, and the robe 2 adult tshirts. Total invest $8 and an afternoon, compared to a ridiculous price online or at universal studios. Besides it might not be perfect but he knows there is love in every stitch!

Wood P photo collage

I had this large wooden P around forever, and decided to print my favorite people on plain printer paper and mod podge them randomly down. I chose to print all in black and white. I applied the glue to the wood on 1st layer, then when they were attached went back and placed a sealant coat on. The gems and accessories are all CTMH ♡. I LOVE IT!

Holly Hobbie Curtains

It's been a labor of love, but my Mom finally has curtains. These are hand pieced, crazy quilted together for her from fabric she had bought herself years ago in Michigan. This was the best solution I could come up with because she could pick between any ONE of the the things she cherished.

Homemade wordsearchs

Not EXACTLY crafting but I thought creative none the less. School snacks or gift bags on birthdays are quite an issue around here. With as many littles as I have, that many all store bought items adds up, so outside the box thinking is needed. I took Kennedy's classmates names, the words birthday, and nine and made a heart shaped word search out of them on yellow copy paper. We rolled them up into scrolls. The free program I found gave the answer key in pdf too, so I forwarded that on to her teacher, who sent me a thank you note saying she loved the idea and was sure the kids were going to as well!
