Elmer's craft night

Omg! Soooo much fun. Just the break I needed from homework and the cure for my crafting withdrawls I have been having. 

I was one of the lucky few who got to attend the Elmer's craft night hosted by Lil' Luna and Lollyjane Boutique. 

We were told to bring a 12x12 glitter scrapbook paper and 2 dozens of cookies. 1 dozen to share that night and then a plate full to take home. They were going to be supplying everything else. And boy oh boy did they.

Check out the bag FULL of goodies we each got.  This was sitting on our crafting places.

Ohhhhh, look what you can see.

Did you see it all.  Glue dots, exacto knife, scissors, foam board, cutting mat, gel pens, painters makers, fabric glue, glue stick, and more.

I even won another cutting mat and scissors from one of the numerous drawings they had throughout the evening.

And check out this merry JOY banner that we ended up making.  See what the glitter paper was used for?

Thank you to Elmer's and Lil' Lolly!  hahaha!  Lil' Luna and LollyJane Boutique.  You guys seriously rock!

Wreathy love

I have 3 wreaths that I made to decorate Maka'z Home with.  This first wreath I made last year for my front door to welcome all friends and family.

These next 2 wreaths I made in an hour or maybe less.  I like this one because of the simplicity.  I just stuck the poinsettia in and added the bronze looking filler added a few ornaments and done.  Nothing is even glued down so it could evolve or change if I get tired of it  some other creative idea.

I love this one and how simple it looks and how easy it as to make.  Just start with a wreath and hot glue random sizes of balls randomly around the wreath and add a bow to complete it.

I still want to make another outside one for the pitch in my roof above the garage.  Is it possible to have to many wreaths?

Joining these parties and more here.

The tree is Decked!

I finally got around to taking pics of the tree we put up last weekend.  Not too much words, but a few pics to share.

I loved the look of this tree I saw at Jenn Balcer. She did it
last year, but I did not get the time to try it out until now. I think next time I should use double sided paper becasue I don't like how the white shows. Simple and cute. There are other tree tutorials on Jenn's blog also. I tried one of the other ones that were there too.

With just 4 sheets of 12 X 12 paper, cone styrophom and sewing pins, walaaah! Topped with ribbon and planted in a painted terra cotta pot. Too easy.
