'tis the season --

looks like i'm slipping again --- don't worry i've got lots of stuff for you to check out ---

well, it looks like christmas is just around the corner - so i thought i'd share some fun projects with you that i used at some craft fairs this year  --

this first one is so much fun!

i can't take all the credit for it -- i saw the idea on splitcoaststampers.com.   here is a link to the directions on patty's stamping spot .  it uses SU punches, and some embossing folders.   i changed mine up a little, and added some ribbon so this guy can hang on the tree - he's so cute!

more chirstmas projects to come soon ---

thanks for stopping by - happy stamping.

a time to be thankful. . .

it looks like the holiday season is upon us -- thanksgiving is just around the corner, and the christmas season will soon follow.

it seems i've started to think about chirstmas a little earlier than normal this year -- i hate that.  thanksgiving is my favorite holiday  --- but since i opened my etsy shop, and have started to do some craft shows, it seems i have to start thinking about the winter holidays sooner then i'd like.  sigh.

but -- first, here is a thanksgiving project.  this is a set of trivets.

they are stamped with stazon ink on 6 x 6 tumbled tiles.  i also add a bit of cork or felt to the back so it doesn't scratch up the table top.

i love the rustic feel of these - celebrating the harvest.

thanks for stopping by - i've been pretty busy making holiday items for some upcoming shows.  be sure to stop by again soon -- i'll be sharing some of the fun projects.

in the mean time -- have a wonderful thanksgiving!

glass pendants --

hey!  thanks for stopping by!

i have a fun project to share with you today!  i've seen them around alot, and i finally figured out how to make them --- glass pendants.  i sold a bunch of them over the weekend at the craft sale! 

these are just a few of the ones i did for the show -- sorry, the first one is a little blurry.

 i also added ball chains to them -- they are so fun!

what a great way to use up scrap papers, and a quick and easy way to make something to match an outfit!

i found a great website for buying the glass pieces, metal tags and chain : Sun and Moon Craft Kits

these would make a great gift!  so fun!  the possibilities are endless!

i'll be making more of these for my etsy shop!

thanks for stopping by!  happy stamping, and hope to see you soon!
