A whole lotta love

Well I finaly cut out enough felt circles for my Valentines

wreath like The Idea Room's. 95 to be exact!

I bought a straw wreath at the thrift store. It was shedding

straw like crazy so I wrapped it with some fabric

scraps.

Then I started hot gluing the felt circles on

after folding them in half twice.

 And here's the finished wreath!

I love it. Even my husband said I did "really good with it".

After I put my "LOVE" and frame on the dresser,

it still needed something. So I got out a cute

frame I got at the Dollar Tree, took the glass out,

 and put some paper in the back. Then

I got out the Scrabble tiles.

How I love Scrabble tiles!

I hot glued them to the paper and added a heart 

I cut out from the felt scraps. I think it is my favorite!

And here is everything all together. Just in time for February!

Dry erase calendar

I finished my dry erase calendar! YEAH! I was inspired by

Somewhat Simple's calendar, but I don't have a Cricut to

cut out the days of the week. So I pondered on it for a while.

 I thought about printing them on clear sticker paper

 or using rub-ons. Then I saw The Stories of A to Z's

calendar. I could do the lines and words on the computer!

So I made a calendar in Word and  designed a header

with Paint.NET. I'm not totally satisfied with the header,

 but I was past ready to hang it. So it will have to do for now.

Little bit of love

I found these wooden sayings at the Dollar Tree a while back.

When I saw them again the other day, I had forgotten

I had "LOVE" too!

So I printed out some scrapbook paper from PaigeandBrooke and decoupaged

it over each letter. I got the heart frame at Family

Dollar the other day. I put a little scrap of paper

in it too.

And I am working on a Valentine's wreath like

this one over at the Idea room.

I only have 50 circles cut out so far. I don't know

how many I need, but probably a lot

more than that!

More craft room organizing

I've been doing some more organizing

 in my craft room.I made some cute labels for all

 my storage containers. I got the labels from Tricia-Rennea's blog.

She has a lot of cute printables. I printed them

out on sticker paper.

I got these storage boxes from the Dollar Tree.  I love

the colors and patterns. They inspired my whole color

scheme in my craft room. Now I just have to

find some fabric for the window valance

with these colors. I still need to print out some

labels for these boxes.

I covered some vegetable cans with scrapbook paper

for my markers, colored pencils, and paintbrushes.

That's it for now. I am painted a table my Mom

gave me. I can't wait until it's finished

and put in my craft room.

Winter

I put up my Christmas decorations this week and got out my Winter stuff.

This is a grapevine snowman I made several years ago. All you do is wire 3 different sizes of grapevine wreaths together. Then I made a scarf and hat out of fleece and glued some snowflakes on him.

I made this wreath several years ago also. It is just cotton balls glued to a round styrofoam wreath form. Then I glued on blue beads that were shaped like snowflakes and a silver bead in the middle to cover the hole in the bead. I can't believe it has lasted this long. If you look real close you can see some of the glue on the beads has yellowed.

My Dollar Tree mirrored tree. Next year I may try the mercury glass treatment on it.

My tiered tray all winterized with Dollar Tree snowflakes.

Started on my craft room...

All I want for Christmas is to get my craft room moved
from the carpeted bedroom to the linoleum bedroom AND organized.
Linoleum in a bedroom? Weird, I know! It's a long story.

So I bought a new wire shelf. I already had one, but I wanted another
to go on the other side of the window. I started organized my craft supplies and
bringing them in from the other room. Right now, I used shoe boxes and baskets
I found around the house to put each category in.

Later I would love for everything to match. I will be pulling out my

trusty spray paint whenever I figure out my color scheme.

I want to make some fabric baskets like this or this.

I think it would be so cute to use coordinating fabrics for the window

valance and baskets.

Maybe I will even cover my office chair like my friend Kristin

did over at Little Corbin Hill. Plus that will give me an excuse to

use my new air compressor and staple gun.

I used glass containers for all the colorful supplies,

 like pompoms, pipe cleaners, and zippers.

Buttons!

This is one of my favorite containers and one of my newly

acquired craft supplies. BINGO chips! I don't know what I

am going to do with them yet. But they are so cute!

I got these glass jars at the thrift store along with

2 boxes of the letters. There are so many I can't even fit them

all in the jar. The letters are ceramic. I think they were used in

some kind of marquee sign for the DOT maybe. You can see

the pink post-it note on the box in the next picture.

And of course, Scrabble tiles!

Ping pong balls. Cause you never know when a craft will

call for ping pong balls. A girl's got to be ready for anything! :-)

And I haven't even started on the sewing stuff!
