Christmas Ornaments

You'll Need
Dollar Store Puzzles
Paint
Glue-super glue or hot glue
Ribbon

First glue the puzzle pieces to any shape you would like.
Here are mine...





Then let the kids paint them.
You'll want to hot glue the string to them.


After adding some cute sparkles and gems to make it just a bit extra special to the tree.
This is the end result! 



Current Craft Project

This is for my master bedroom. 
Our theme is red, white or off white and blue!!

You'll need 
Hobby lobby wood letters
Spray paint 
Newspaper
Wooden frames
Scrapbook paper


I sprayed the wooden letters red
The wood frames blue
Decided on dictionary scrapbook paper
I then glue the paper to the insert of the frame
I am still deciding if I want to hot glue the letters on 
or 
get some other type of glue that works well with wood.

Like in the picture you'll see I have completed one frame already.


(Newspaper is great to put under so you don't get it all over everything.)
(Also old foil pans work great) 

Homemade Christmas Gifts


I bought a cute puzzle from the dollar store
Glued it to green paper,
Put an adorable picture in it..
And inserted it all into a frame.
How cute is this!!!!
Frame is from Hobby Lobby. 


Any Mason jar will do 
And
Christmas colored tissue paper.
I put candles in mine 
but you can also..
Make it an herb planter.


Better Late Than Never...

My garden summer of 2014! 

Pumpkins, I had 8 grow and only one got rot.


Half of my garden in raised beds


My strawberries, which I'll have to move once we re-do the deck. It's rotting :/


My other half of my garden in raised beds.


My baby rhubarb, I think it's doing pretty good for year two. Year three or four is when I'll start to harvest from it.
