oh christmas tree...

I love Christmas. I love decorating for Christmas. My dream is to one day decorate my ENTIRE house for the Christmas holiday, right down to the towels in the bathrooms and the comforters on the beds. It may never happen, but a girl has to have a dream, right?



So, in the meantime, I made this cute tree. I love it. I really really loved it until I downloaded the pictures I took and noticed that the flash on my cheap-o camera felt the need to highlight all the spots where the fabric didn't completely cover the styrofoam. Stupid camera. But, in real life it's not even noticable, so I still really love it.



See, I even took a picture without the flash....can't even see the flaws, right?



(wow, that's a horrible picture....)
If you see the flaws, just don't tell me. I prefer to live in denile. :)

Bring on the Holidays!

I am far from the organized person that I want to be, but when it comes to the winter holidays, I have to write every thought, idea, activity, vacation, party, and Christmas wish down, or my brain will explode. So I was SO excited when I came across a free printable from the gals at eighteen25. Not only that, they have a step by step tutorial on the blog Under the Sycamore, where they did a guest post.



Now, I'm ready. Bring it on.

Once there were some snowmen...

I love Christmas and Winter decorations. They are my favorite. And I needed a new snoman. So I made two. A Mr. and Mrs. if you will. There may be some little snow guys in their future. And maybe Grandma and Grandpa will come to visit.


Who knows.



All I know is they make the cold snowy weather a little more bearable.

Turkey Tom

I love to browse crafty blogs and get inspiration and ideas for myself. I found this way fun blog the other day. It's
called Craft Goodies. She is currently doing a Christmas ornament a day during the month of November, which I love!!!! She also made this...



So cute! I loved it and knew I wanted to make one for myself. But (and there is always a but, isn't there?) I didn't have the paint stick she used for the head. And I didn't have a block cut to that size. And I didn't want to go to the store to buy stuff with money I didn't have...so I used her cute turkey as inspiration for my own.

I went down to the basement and out to the garage to find some wood scraps...



I went to the craft closet (which is literally a bookshelf in my master closet) and grabbed the craft sticks, glue, paper, and other goodies. Sorry, no pic.

Then I got started. Here is my creation. I call him Turkey Tom, and I love him.




I'm linking up to catigorically crafting at Someday Crafts

I Got Another Blog.

"Really" you might be saying? Really, when you don't even post on this one?

Yes.

It's a craft blog. I want to start an Etsy shop (eventually) so I will be doing lot's of crafting in the future (I hope)and I wanted a place just for all of that.

Then, I decided "why not just do it all here? Do I really want to try to keep up with ANOTHER blog? I can totally just do it all here. Lots of people do that." So, hopefully in the future sometime soon, I will change the look of the blog, cause I've had that Christmas header up for a year now. And hopefully I'll get more organized. And hopefully I'll blog more, and not just about crafts. Not that anyone reads it anymore, but ya gotta start somewhere, right? And I do have alot to catch up on.

Wish me luck.
