Vintage Plush

I was born in the 70's, my childhood in the 80's through 90's. Some of these plush animals and toys are mine, some from my children born in the 2000's, and others I've found at garage sales, and thrift stores over the years all in great condition. I'm always on a treasure hunt for anything reminsenct of my childhood that takes me back to young memories. That feeling you get when you see something from the past and you say to yourself "I remember that, I had one of those when I was little. Or "I wish I could of had one of those growing up." Well these plush animals are for sale. For new owners that I hope enjoy them as much as I do. Good Vibes and Happy treasure hunting.

New YouTube Channel

I have decided to become more active on my YouTube channel. Posting videos on planners I have a  Heidi Swapp Personal Planner, a work planner that was created from recycled material and a kids planner my son and I work on monthly. Plan with me tutorials on how I fill in the boring blank spaces on my planner with color and whimsy. I also have videos of kids crafts and experiments I do with my 8 year old son such as building a volcano and candy roses. Last but not least I will also have videos of shopping hauls. We all love to find great deals so when I find some I will be informing everyone through my channel. Places I find planner supplies include Michael's Craft Store, Hobby Lobby, JoAnn's Fabric, 5 Below, Dollar Tree, King Dollar, and .99 cent only stores. 

Let me know if there is a particular video you want further explanations. I look forward to hearing from you my new crafting community lets make some AWESOME stuff together.

Thankful Tree

Today at  work we had our Annual Thanksgiving PotLuck. Our company provides turkey and ham to all the employees and we bring the side dishes. This year I involved my co-workers in a Thanksgiving craft. I created a Thankful Tree. 

                                               We all wrote what we are thankful for on a paper leaf and hung them on a branch. 

                                          I made this layout using the new Winter Wonderland Cartridge on my Cricut machine. Along with some sunflowers and a beaded stick pin. 

Pine Cone Potpourri Basket

Although Christmas is fast approaching we must remember to be thankful for all our blessings. Which I have so many in my life with family at the top of the list. The changing of the leaves, reds, oranges and yellows,and cooler breezy weather has me seeking out the warmth and comfort of earth tones in these up-cycling projects.  

                                                        I added gold glitter to the tips of these large pine cones to add some sparkle to a fall potpourri filled basket.

Christmas Stickpin

Yes it's that time of the year again CHRISTMAS !! I'm so inspired with ideas for holiday decor just got to focus and find the time to create. While on YouTube I found so many video's of up-cycling and altering all types of objects. I joined a forum called MiniAlbumScraps and created these Christmas stickpins to share with others.
