...black friday...activities...

While the world was out shopping... fighting for the black Friday deals... I was safe and sound at home crafting Christmas fun!! Eric and Melissa had driven up to spend Thanksgiving with us and Melissa was excited to do some crafting... I got on pinterest and found the most adorable barn board Santa by Megpie Designs...Here is the link if you want to make one yourself <<HERE>>.
Aren't our Santa's just adorable... They were so much fun to make!! Merry Christmas!!

A Few of My Favorite Things....Craft Boutique

Getting the word out... a friend of mine is having a craft boutique in her home!!

Here's your sign...

I have fallen in love with painted wooden signs... Thank you Pinterest for the vast amount of ideas.. I missed getting a Halloween sign done. I did manage to get one done for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I love the support my dear husband gives me... He'll stop on his way home from work to pick my up supplies.... And sending me off to play in my room!! So blessed!!

Halloween Witches Broom

I never thought I'd make a broom... But since I saw one on Pinterest I knew I'd make one for my Secret Spook at work. I've been looking for inexpensive materials to make it. I looked at Hobby Lobby and Michaels and didn't find anything that would work that was inexpensive...I finally decided on the cinnamon brooms found at Dollar General!! Below is my supply list...

Halloween Witches Broom Supplies

2 Cinnamon brooms
wire
twine
stick or dowel for handle
pliers
wire cutters
glue gun

I found a nice stick out in our wood pile that was perfectly crooked. I scrapped off all the bark using the saw I used to cut if off the larger branch. I then used my orbital sander to sand it smooth. I trimmed the cinnamon brooms to the length that would work best with the length of stick I prepared for the handle. Placing one broom and each side of the bottom of the handle...I spread the broom out so that it went completely around the bottom of the handle. I then used wire wrapped tightly in 2 places. I used the wire cutters and pliers to get the wire as tight as I could.

I then used twine to wrap the broom to hide the wire. Tied a bow and added the tag that reads "Your New Ride"

If you don't want to make one... I will make one for you... for a price of course!!
