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.
