My First Workshop!

Filed Under: No Category

This past weekend was non stop and today has been a total recon mission!  Friday night and all day Saturday, I attended a local craft show.  Unfortunately the turn out wasn't great on Saturday, but I did pretty good.   I sold all but two ornaments and had so much positive feedback.  It was very encouraging!  Yet, again I forgot my camera so I will have to wait to share with you.  (My friend got some pictures, so I will have them soon!) On to Sunday!  Sunday's always feel pretty ... Read More about My First Workshop!

Some of you had asked if I could share how I made the pinwheel ornaments, and I have finally found some time to post about it!  You need sheet music, hot glue, some type of string, embellishment for center and cardstock. I cut my sheet music into 2" strips and then roll TONS of little cones.  I like mine to have points on the end, so I cut diagonally across the end, before I start rolling. Using a regular glue stick, add glue on the end where you made the cut. Then roll the cone first, and ... Read More about Pinwheel Sheet Music Ornament Tutorial

25 Days of Giving and PB Inspired Advent Calendar

Filed Under: No Category

These past few weeks I have been thinking a lot about how blessed I/we are.  If you live in the US, I hope you don't take for granted how lucky you are.  Even the poorest of the poor, in America are better off than most people in other countries.   With the recent election only a week behind us and all the talk on television about how much the government should or should not be involved in our lives, it has made me realize just how vital it is for us to take care of one another.  I know ...

Tree Topper and some HELP PLEASE!

Filed Under: Christmas Decor

Today I spent the entire day home, working!  I have had this idea for a tree topper, and I finally had time today to make it.  But, when I asked my husband what he thought about it, he didn't really "get" it...so I thought you all might be willing to give me your opinion.  I'd like you to be my "test" group, so please be honest. Let me explain my thought process.  I was trying to use words to convey a message.  I wanted to use the word "SHINING," as in "Shining Star," but it was too ...
