Whooo wants to craft?

H & I getting our craft on...inspired by this.

Mantle change up...Hang some big plastic eggs with some ribbon. Get a jar and fill it with grass and smaller plastic eggs. I was bad and didn't jot down where I found the Easter subway art. Sorry...I tried to retrace my steps but...no luck. Luckily there are so many fun and free print ables. Go here for another print. Go here for the banner. I found the colored glass vases at yard sale.

Mom and Dad McCoy DIY'ed their kitchen. In the process they got rid of a few do-dads. H has always had her eye on this menu chalkboard. Since the little "Chubby Chef" isn't quite our style. I made some slight alterations.
Ta'dah...I sanded the edges and inserted white card stock into the frames. It's proudly hung in our kitchen with some tulle and ribbon.

Thank you to Heather for helping inspire me to pay omage to the Irish side of this McCoy family. She posted photos of her fabulous mantle on her FB page and I had to follow the leader. Best part? Total cost for mantle redeco was $0.00 because I found all the supplies around the house.
A jar full of buttons! Luv it. Heather's mantle had a jar filled with green colored candies. Very sweet and yummy! I didn't have the candy so I used what I had on hand. BUTTONS! Go here for the printable in the frame.
This garland was made in a flash! I used kitchen twine and clothes pins to hold it together. I found the printable here and the two Cricut paper dolls leprechans were constructed and save from a project last year.

Subway art is pretty hot right now! Words strategically placed in a simple monochromatic collage. Batta bing batta boom...Go here and print this one.

Girls & their dolls...H & A crafted cute ribbon head bands today. I get a kick because she'll ask for some supplies from the scrap room but won't tell me what for. I just have to be patient and wait to see what she creates. She's mini me!

As promised here is the "after"...i-pod Valentine treats to pass out to the classmates. H searched the internet for a project and finally decided on this one.

It's almost February...

Funny...we have lived in our home for 9 years and our fireplace has never been used. Really? Really... there isn't too much of a need in Southern California for a roaring fire. But I will admit a crackling fire sure looks and sounds pretty.

Now, the fireplace mantle on the other hand... It sure gets all the attention. It is my inspiration for seasonal decorations. H made me a candy striped "LOVE" sign with left over pipe cleaners from C's science project...he had to create a 3D "D.N.A" structure.
While I was blog hopping I found this vintage Valentine wreath. So easy to make, you can do it too...check it out here.

One of these days I'll make the time to install gas logs. So then the fireplace won't be so jealous of it's mantle.

bring on the ♥s and glitter...

Had a bit of time to play & create last night. Woo hoo!

It sure has been a while since the stickles have made their way through the tubes. Now I need to go back and get more glittered up! ...after 8 hours at the computer, dinner is cooked and served, two more loads of laundry are cleaned, homework is checked...geez...I'm tired just typing about it.
