Deco Mesh Wreath

In October, I was in Kentucky and saw Deco Mesh Wreaths.  What, you've never heard of them?  Well, I hadn't either, but from what I understand they are huge in the southern states.  I didn't buy one because I thought I could make one.  When I got home, I was so happy to find out that one of the local colleges was going to be having a class on making these wreaths! Me, my daughter-in-law, her mom and a couple of other ladies all signed up for the class.  This is one of the wreaths I made.

I love these wreaths!  It looks so much better if you could actually see it.  For some reason, it just doesn't photograph as well as it looks 'in person.'

Drum and Tissue Box

Christmas is right around the corner, so I've been making more tissue box covers.  Yes, I want one (or two) for every holiday!  Of course, I had to see what Mary had at SVGcuts.com, and found this cute little drum.  Yes, this drum is made from scrapbooking paper!  You know you want one!

Christmas Chargers

Love these chargers!  I bought the Santa and Snowman files from Kim Bright (google her for awesome .svg files) and after carefully weeding the vinyl, attached each to a charger along with snowflakes...instant cuteness!  Is cuteness a even a word??

Happy Thanksgiving

If you've never been to SVGcuts.com, you need to stop right now and go look!  They have tons of .svg files for every occasion and more!!  They give away free files weekly, and just tell me, who can't afford free??  They also have files that you can purchase for a VERY reasonable price.  That's where this little turkey and Indian files came from. I made about ten of the turkeys and I filled them with candy and plan on handing them out to nieces, nephews and friends. What little boy or girl wouldn't love to receive these cute little turkeys?

I used a file from SVGcuts.com to cut out the bag and then attached the cute little boy and girl to the front.  Once you start making these, it's hard to stop!

Fall Tissue Boxes

Everyone needs a tissue every now and then.  Why not cover those plain boxes with a cute cover.  The inspiration for these boxes was found on splitcoaststampers.com.  They have so many cute ideas.  Check them out!

Give Thanks

Fall is my favorite season!  I love the changing colors of the trees and the cooler temperatures.  I also love to do paper and vinyl crafts for this time of year.  This bottle was pretty easy to do.  Well, that is, after my husband cut the hole in the back of the bottle and inserted the colored lights.  I just used my handy dandy Cricut to cut out the leaves and wording with vinyl.

Surprise 30th Birthday!

Here's a picture of the 'Sucker Bouquet' I put together for my son who just turned 30!  (How can that be when I'm only 35??  LOL)  He was totally surprised when he walked in and everyone yelled, "SURPRISE!" Love when a plan comes together so well.

Happy 30th, Zach!

Mickey Mouse Bag

I decorated this plain red bag with the ever popular Mickey Mouse!  I love doing these bags for the birthday kids!

Happy First Birthday, Wyatt!
