Thanksgiving 2012

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!  We did!  Indstead of taking naps, playing games, or watching football we crafted since this was the first time I've had Thanksging at my house they excpeted nothing less.
We started the afternoon off with making magnets out of bottle caps, but that didn't hold their attention for long.


From left to right we have my sister Heidi, my mom Nancy and my niece Lexis.
 
We soon moved on to something else. I went to my craft supplies and found some cigar boxes that I was saving for the right project to come along.
It was perfect!
With some scrapbooking paper and modge podge we spent several hours having fun!


My daughter-in-law soon joined us for this project and she really did have a great time, even though the look on her face shows some concern.  She just hates having her picture taken and she claims she's not very crafty.




 


 
They all turned out great and I can't wait to embelish mine with a little bling!
Stay tuned,
just another Craft Fanatic!

Preparing for the Holidays

I've been busy today!  Trying to stay ahead of the Holidays.  Time is running out on greating those holiday gifts and ornaments.

I started my morning by finishing up my nieces shoes for her.  She's attending UNI this year and needs a pair of spirit shoes to root on those panthers.
 
 
I needed to finish up my gift tag ornaments.
I made these cupcake ornaments and added a gift tag to give to all of my friends and family.
 
 
and I loved Lexis's shoes so much I had to make myself a pair.
 
 
Great day!  I even managed to get my husband to shampoo the carpet today!
I think I've earned a nice hot bath!
 
Keep crafting!

Hey Karen,
This is what I've been up to...and time is running out on me.  The picture doesn't even show the sock monkey outfit I'm making for my grandson who turns 1 on Dec. 23rd.

Keep you posted!
