Wood Burning Spoons

Last night I borrowed my son's Wood Burning Tool and had a blast burning some wood spoons.

I had a Wood Burning Tool when I was a kid and loved creating fun things with it.

I bought a 4 pack of Wooden Spoons at the Dollar Tree...

The 4 pack is awesome because if you mess up your only out a few cents.

So my art isn't the best..I'm not a professional and I was using a KIDS tool but here are the close ups of my Wooden Spoon Burned Art :)

My last name and a Palm Tree..I LOVE Palm Trees

A goofy face :)

Wouldn't this make you smile while making dinner? 

And of course..Eat..Pray..Love

Did you see that movie??? OMG it was so good...made me want to drop everything and run to Italy lol :)

So there you have it...some Wood Burned Spoons.

These would make a great House Warming Gift wouldn't they???

Something to think about for Christmas next year...if you have older kids, they could make one for Grandma!

Have a great day

and

Happy Crafting!

Journal Jars

Journal Jars

This is such a fun project and fun for all ages.

This would make a great gift for a kid going off to college, or that person that you just don't know what to get for Christmas.

First I printed up my Journal Entry Topics...

You can download mine, or make up your own...

You can download this HERE

OR

In Black & White HERE

Then....

I cut them into strips..

Like so!

Then I curled them with scissors, like you would ribbon.  You could also just fold them up.

Paired with a journal these would make a really fun gift :)

I just threw mine in this jar..however you could definitely make them a bit prettier with a nice jar with some ribbon around it.

You could also make your journal topics specific to a particular person you are gifting this to...such as a child, college student,a new mother, a teacher....

Happy Crafting!

Post-it Gift

Post-it Gift

Hello Everyone!

Fist I'd like to apologize for being absent for almost a week...I've been so busy with orders, the family caught a cold, and getting ready for my upcoming craft shows.

When talking to one of my oldest and dearest friends last night, she told me that I better get my booty in gear and post a craft on my blog cause she looks forward to them everyday...thanks Bre!

Ok, here's what I did :)

I bought these plastic frames at the Dollar Store, one is a 3.5 x 5 and the other is 5 x 7.

Turns out I like the smaller one better, I think it takes up less space, and the post-it fits perfect :)

I also bought this 4 pack of post-it notes..there is yellow, blue and pink.

I decided to make this for one of my son's male teacher so I picked the blue post-it notes and cut coordinating scrapbook paper to 3.5 x5 size.

I thought an outside pic would be good, but NOPE too bright, the sun reflected off the frame.

I added his teachers name in stickers to the paper, slid the paper in the frame, and then took the paper off the back of the post-it and stuck to the frame...Ta Da!

But I couldn't stop there...I mean come on..there are so many options here...

I printed out the quote "To teach is to learn again." on card stock, wrapped it around the frame with color coordinating ribbon and now my post-it gift is complete!

Don't you think this would look great on his teachers desk?

I'm telling you, this was SOOOO easy..in fact I am going to be making a TON of these I can assure you.  Every teacher, family member, friend, and possibly every stranger walking down the street will get one of these bad boys!

These would make excellent Teacher Appreciation Gifts, Holiday Gifts, Birthday Gifts, Just for Fun Gifts..you name it.

Happy Crafting!
