Giveaway From Posh & Pampered!!

This is such a cute giveaway!!  I'm really excited about this!

Posh & Pampered is giving away one of her

"Match Made In Heaven" Charms!

When you go over to her Etsy site, you will fall
in LOVE with everything that she has for sale!

Here are a few other things that she makes:

 If you are having a girl, or know of someone who is,
this is a perfect baby gift!  

They are bracelets that the girl will wear at each of her milestones.
They come in a set of 3 bracelets
a bracelet for her blessing, one for her baptism and 

one for her wedding.
And, with each bracelet comes a rolled up scroll
with a scripture and a place to write the date of the event.
Such a great gift that will last a lifetime

AND it comes packaged in a cute box!

She was so nice to send me this necklace as well.  She had taken a quote
that my son had said, and stamped in on the necklace and added
 a picture of him on a frame charm, and
finished it off with a little heart charm.
 I LOVE it!  Truly a keepsake!

Like I said, you are going to  LOVE

Crepe Paper Wreath

Are you looking for a CHEAP and EASY Valentines project?  Here it is.  I think it turned out pretty cute.

AND, all you need is 3 things to make this!

*Crepe Paper- I used about 3/4 of a roll and it made a wreath size about the size of a dessert plate, but you can make one as big as you would like

*A piece of wire

*Embellishments 

Your first step is to cut the Crepe paper into about foot long strips.  You don't want to fold the whole roll into one bunch, because if you do that, it will be much harder to punch a hole all the way through.  That is why you take little strips at a time.  Makes the hole punching a lot easier!
So, as I just said, you want to fold the Crepe paper like this:

And when you have that piece folded, punch the wire through the middle like this: 

And repeat until you have the whole length of the wire covered
like this:
(I added some white Crepe paper as well)

When you're done, add a few embellishments and a piece of ribbon to hang it from like this:




They would be so cute in any color!!

Home Depot Frame

This really isn't a craft tutorial, just kind of a "look what I did" post.
We recently got our family pictures taken, and of course, I had to order a 
picture that is an odd size (16x16) which, in turn, makes the 
frames that size way expensive!  It was going to be about $80 for a frame that size. 
So,  what do I do?  Head on over to my local Home Depot and buy (and have them cut for me)  a piece of Crown Moulding!  So, add wood glue, some nails and a little paint .......... but not $80 later, more like $18.... here is my finished frame!
