"Coffee Filter Wreath"

This wreath I made out of "Coffee Filters"... Mind you.. I don't drink coffee.. I bought them at the Dollar store.. They were white and I dyed them a bit in some dye.. Just slightly..

I dyed them for 20 min. and then seperated the filters and let them drain a bit.Then I threw them in the dryer.. Watching them very carefully.. Didn't want to cause a hazard.. It really was easy.

The wreath I bought at the dollar store. I wrapped it in batting and tulle.. Then I just pinched the filters and hot glued them to the wreaths..

Then I just had too much fun embellishing the wreath.. I sometimes get carried

a way.. The roses were fashioned out of tissue paper and leaves out of old music paper..

A fun valentine wreath....

"LOVE" IS... FOREVER !

"Sprinkling" Valentine's around our Home!

Simple "Valentine" decorations.. Crayon shavings on wax paper... So pretty in the "Sunlight"....




I love "Valentine's Day"... I have been having fun sprinkling the house with the colors of 'Valentine's". This was a fun easy craft to do with my son, Kenny..

I put down some Kraft paper and used a pencil sharpener (Cheap one) and peeled off the paper off the crayons and just shaved a way.. I used Red, Yellow, Pink, burgundy, Rose, Crayola crayons. Shave on Wax paper.. Then I put another piece of wax paper on and covered with another piece of Kraft paper.. Then used my iron on dry heat and made sure I didn't get any crayons on the iron.. Then I cut into Heart shapes..

I have more to share . I love this Holiday and love all the colors that are used. I hope you don't get sick of my sharing. It doesn't take much to create simple and fun ideas. Always fun to get the kids involved.

Have fun "Sprinkling" "LOVE"... this "Valentine's Day" !!!

"Thank you- Creative blogs!"

I love making wreaths. There are so many wonderful wreaths out their in blogland. So many talented crafters.. I came across this blog.. She really inspired me. This is only one of the wreaths that she makes.. Check out her beautiful work!

This is my interpretation of the wreath I was inspired by on "Knock Knocking's blog" I gave it as a "Hostess" gift for a Bunco Group that I belong to.. She is a Kindergarten Teacher and she Loved it..

Some of the flowers were made with recycled sweaters and some were made from fabric. I added silk flowers, crochet flowers also.. The wreath was first wrapped in cotton batting and tulle.. Then I wrapped yarn around the wreath. There is a knack to it.. I don't think I have it yet.. It was fun though. I added some other fun things... A fun Valentine wreath..

I really appreciate talented bloggers. There are so many creative blogs out there.. I really glean and learn a lot from other crafters.

This blog that inspired me - I really love everything she does.. She adds so many

fun creative touches to her wreaths.. You need to check it out.. I want to pay my respects and gratitude to the creative bloggers.. They really inspire me..

"Cupcakes" ?

To: Stephanie .... With Love xoxoxoxo

I made this cupcake pincushion out of recycled wool Sweaters. I had some wool sweaters that had oops.. Shrunk.. So, I wanted to put them to good use.. I have since found some for a dollar at thrift stores...

I love this book.. Great felted projects.. "Warm fuzzies" by Betz White....

I love it when I can take a clothing item that has a hole or shrinks... and reuse it and make it into something new...

My Friend, Stephanie makes amazing decorated edible cupcakes.. I hope she enjoys what I made her..

Betz White... Great projects !

"My word for 2010"

I have picked the word that I would like to focus on

this year 2010'.. It is "HOPE".

I have been greatly blessed with new insight and understanding. My life has been

enriched and renewed with "HOPE".

To do something, however small, to make others happier and better, is the highest ambition, the most elevating hope, which can inspire a human being.
John Lubbock

"Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and

a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward feasting upon the word of Christ, and

endure to the end, behold thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life". 2Nephi 31:20

"Happy New Year Table centerpiece"

I decided that I would decorate a "New Years" table Centerpiece.
I use to do that when my kids were little.. I may not do it every month.. No pressure..
I wanted to "Celebrate" 2010'..

I decided to decorate some bottles and add clocks and made a simple hat out of music paper.
I also decorated a simple plastic black hat.. added lace and other touches.. I even used one
of the pictures for my Blog Header..

This Year has possibilities.. We're going to do our Best to make the most of this Year!
