Snowman ornaments

I have a couple more ornaments to share that I made. This time I made snowmen. They don't have to be Christmas, just winter themed. 

I'm thinking with the blue and pink that they may make good Babies first Christmas ornaments also.

I made these ornaments! Gingerbread and house

I've had so much fun getting all glittery. I made these gingerbreads out of felt. I found glitter felt at Target and just had to have it. I love all of the shimmer on these ornaments and they will make great gifts or Craft Fair sellers for next Christmas.

Adorable Shaker gift card holders

Aren't these the cutest? I was inspired by a youtube video by Nurse Tara. I didn't have the photo sleeves that she had so I just cut 4 x 6 pieces out of my 12 x 12 We R Memory keeper photo sleeves and used my fuse tool where needed..

More Cute Tags- gingerbread mixing bowl

Hi Friends, This time I have some tags that are gingerbread in mixing bowls. I've been really using my silhouette lately for die cuts. I found this file at Treasure Box designs and couldn't resist. Jill Norwood on youtube has made similar tags and I was inspired by her.

Tags, Tags and more Tags

Hi friends, I know that I've been missing for a long time. I'm still crafting, just not been blogging. A lot of things have been going on in my world. My daughter just finished her first solo flight for her pilot career and my son was named all county for his football position. All good and exciting news. I  finished my first craft shows with a success and had so much fun doing it. 

I thought that I'd share some of the tags that I've been creating this week. I love all of them and I love the process of creating them. I've been inspired by youtube a lot. This idea was originally from Created to Create on youtube. For some reason right now I'm in shaker mode. I'm making shaker pockets for gift cards for Christmas right now.

Snowman Bath bombs

Yes another Craft fair idea. I found these cute files at myscrapchick.com 

 and couldn't resist making these for the Craft Fair today. I love the Scrapchick site also.  She allows you to sell things using her files for free up to 100 items. No way that I'd ever make a 100 of anything to sell so this was right up my alley.

Check out my cute Snowman Bath bombs.

In this photo you can see the bath bomb below in the box. Cute huh? I thought so.

Handmade Gift tag sets

These are the gift tag sets that I made for my family this year. I've tried to make it a tradition to give my family Gift tags at Thanksgiving to use for Christmas. This is how I've packaged them up this year. 

There are 10 tags in the inside of the bag and a snowman decoration tag that hasn't been used on the outside so they will get 11 tags total per package. I sold some of my leftover tags from last year at the craft fair last weekend also.

Thank you for stopping by again and checking out my tag sets.

Tic Tac Snowmen and paper pad with pen for kids

Here are a couple more Craft Fair ideas that I sold this past weekend and will be selling the left overs this coming weekend.

Tic tac snowman and paper pad with pen for kids. I sold these for only $1 Each. I only sold a few of each but will be trying to sell the rest this weekend.

Snowman Soup craft Fair idea

I just have to say that the craft fair this past weekend was so fun that we signed up in Spencer Indiana for this week. lol!

My BFF and I sold a lot and laughed a lot.

Here are my snowman soup. I sold several of these.

I made my own recipe of hot chocolate for these and sold them for $2. They were a big hit. 

Thank you for stopping by and taking a look.

Craft Fair Chapstick favors

After about 10 or more years of being on Design teams, I'm officially not on any. I'm making a clean start. Although I'm going to miss everyone I think that it's best for me to do my own thing right now. I've gotten a couple of paid jobs crafting by doing a journal and a scrapbook and feel that I may want to start some new things. Thank you, everyone, for continuing to follow me. I will always be on a crafting venture. Right now I have several things to share so stay tuned. I've been working on craft fair projects and really love how some of them have turned out. I've also been designing my own templates in the silhouette. That is fun! This isn't one that I created but I love it still the same.

Thank you for stopping by today.

Popcorn gift card holders

Here are some of my Gift Card holder ideas. These are gifts within gifts. Bags of Microwave popcorn with a gift card slider on top. I know that my family isn't real big into cards so I thought that these would be a little different.

Kind of a more manly project. I believe.

Cold Cootie kits

I came up with this idea on my own and then did a search for free labels for the tissues and hand sanitizer. I thought that " Cold Cootie kits" was a clever name for them. I wanted them to be funny yet have something in them that people would use.

I will be selling these at our local craft fair on Saturday. I love them. I can see them in a kids backpack etc...

I hope that this inspires you to be creative with your projects.

Craft Fair projects to share

Well, my friend asked me to participate in a Craft Fair in November and all of my time has been into making things to sell. With that Said, I decided to start showing my Craft Fair projects here. I've mostly been going for the Stocking stuffer things that are cheap and will sell. (I hope)lol

To start off, I'll show you my version of lollipop treats. I had these cool stickers in my stash from Michaels years ago so I broke them out and added those. I think that they are adorable.

What do you think would be a fair price? Some have tootsie roll pops and others have bubblegum. 

Check out these paperclips

Halloween is fast approaching and if I don't share these today I may not get to. I saw a lady on youtube that makes these paperclips and attaches them into her junk journals so that they can be decorations and remove when you want to write underneath. I thought that this was a clever idea so I thought that I'd make some and share. I have been making Craft Fair misc... for weeks now so I will probably start sharing those soon.

Finally Sharing something

Well, I'm sorry for not posting for so long but, I have been working on a Scrapbook for a friend. It's a paid job and I'm really excited to actually get paid for a job. I want it to be wonderful so, I've been working hard on it. I'm almost finished with 36 scrapbook pages.

Today, I have a card to share using my Art Impressions watercolor stamps.
