Christmas decorations 2014

Hello my blogging friends.

I wanted to share my decorations for 2014. This year I put up 8 trees around my home. Lots of work but so fun when it is all said and done.

Here are lots of the pictures I took of our home.

 My craft room tree in pink with bright colored ornaments.

 A gingerbread house in the kitchen.

 Santa's in my living room.

 Angel tree in my living room dedicated to my mom with a Nativity scene.

 Dining room table setting.

 Fake fireplace in the family room. In Florida we do not need to stay warm.

 Main tree in the family room decorated with elves and red and greens. Love the traditional colors.

This antique curio houses my Disney snowglobes. Here are the decorations I put in it.

 Santa tree in the master bedroom.

 Family of mouses.

 Gingerbread tree in my living room.

 Rudolph and friends tree in my youngest daughters room.

 More Santa's on the hall way table.

 Shabby pastel colored tree my stepdaughters room.

 Precious Moments village. First time in 6 years that I put it up.

 The hubs office is decorated with a small tree filled with tool ornaments.

 Can you see the ladder and screw driver in this picture.

 The guest bathroom has snowmen and a very old tree with glass ornaments.

And lastly my craft room with my curated Christmas area.

So there it is. My home filled with lots and lots of Christmas decorations. I really hope you all have enjoyed the tour.

Happy Holidays.

Craft room decorated for Christmas 2014

Hello my blogging friends. I have been MIA, been busy with family, home and just life itself.

I did manage to decorate my craft room for the holidays. Actually I have decorated all of my home, but for now I will show the craft area.

 This section has some of my crafting Christmas things that I will be using for gifts, like tags, pom poms, bells, etc. Also have out some things I want to play with, kits of gingerbreads, gingerbread houses, snowglobes a sled and some other felt ornaments.

Here is my build a bear.

This is my Pink Christmas tree which every year I add a few new ornaments. 

 I have been on a banner high lately. These are a few of the ones I created for Christmas. I plan on selling them at a craft show in 2 weeks. 

   

Here are some pink mittens I altered, by adding fur like, buttons, pretty pink paper with snowflakes and some felt snowflakes with bling on them. 

Two clocks I added some pretty Santa Clause paper a chain and some beads and to top it off a jingle bell. 

 My new obsession. Altering bottle caps. LOL. They are so fun to make. I plan on selling these at the craft show as well.

This last picture is showing a shadow box with some compartments to hold some of my Christmas embellishments. So fun to see the things you have and easy access to them. 

Hope you guys like what I have done with my craft room. 

Will be back with my Christmas home tour pictures.

Halloween Decorations 2014

Here are my Halloween decorations for 2014.

Halloween Swap

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to stop by and show you the things I received from Sherry, who is Creatology here in blog land. We usually swap once a year and this year is no different, except for this year we decided to swap Halloween crafts we created. We also decided to make it a little different by surprising each other with whatever we wanted to create. We would chose what we wanted to gift each other. Very exciting.
I have not yet mailed her package out, but here is what she sent me.

 Here are the 5 items she sent me.

Look how beautiful the bracelet with the orange skulls, a bubble wand (love that) and the felt with the sewn fabric with a cat was wrapped around a chocolate bar. Suerp duper cute idea.

This is a pouch, which is adorable. Great for makeup or anything inside your purse that you don't want all over the bottom. And the cute cute scissors in the orange and black and genius to add the ribbon with the buttons. Adorably cute and great so that I don't lose my scissors in the mess I sometimes have on my craft table. Love that. So going to craft lift it.

Thank you so much Sherry, not only for the items you sent me but for your blogging friendship. I love everything you sent me and can't wait for our next swap.

Please go checkout Sherry's blog if you already haven't. You will not be disappointed.

Thank you all for stopping by and have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend.

Paper piecing layouts

Hi everyone,

Happy Saturday.

Just wanted to post some layouts I had been working on these past few weeks. Of course they are paper pieced. My favorite thing to do with any image.

Here they are:

Hope you all like them. Thank you all for stopping by and Happy Crafting.

Mini Shabby Chic Banners

Good morning everyone,

I know I have been long gone from Blogging, but I have been busy doing videos of the crafts I have made. I will share some of those projects on a later posts (PROMISE). I will do everything possible to post more often.

Here are some mini banners I have been embellishing. I purchased the wooden banners at Michaels on clearance for 5 cents. Yes, 5 cents and knew when I saw them what I wanted to do with them.
I embellished 3 for Halloween and the remainder with words like, Happy (because that is how I feel when I am crafting), Smile (because I smile when I am in my room crafting), Love (because I love to craft), Art (because crafting is an art) and last Craft (because that is what I do when I am in my craft room). Hope that explains why I chose these words. LOL.

Ok, so here are the banners:

I hope you all like them and have enjoyed reading my blog. I will be back to post the new layouts I have created.

Have a great rest of the week and weekend.
