I am taking a group along with me who are fellow scrapbookers and it will be one of my friends first time going. She can hardly wait and probably won’t sleep at all. Lol… Finally I will able to see all of the new product cool tools that I have been drooling over for weeks now. I cannot wait to see it and get my hand on some of it in person! Lol…  I have my list ready of all of the manufactures I want to see first, camera in hand ready to take photos of some of my favorites to share with you. I will keep you posted as soon as I have a chance to post. I am so happy I am able to take along a group of friends with me to share in all the fun!

Mini Nests

 Today was a beautiful hot day today and it put me in a crafty mood.I decided to make 4 small nests. 1 is in a mini flower pot. I used 2 really small nests and 1 about 3 inches. I had purchased them a while back and I did them really quick with my trusty hot glue gun. I added some pearls, vintage lace and feathers with dried mosses I had and this is what I came up with. I made them to add to my studio decor because I love to collect birds nests. I have more to make ad I will post pictures when I have finished.

  I went to this really tiny fabric store by my house the other day and I found some really cool lace and its REALLY cheap. They have quite a bit and button and fabric. I am definitely going back for more next week. Here is a photo of what I purchased.

Happy Thursday, and thanks for visiting!

Mini love notes book

  Here is a little 3x4 Kraft book I had purchased the other day. This could be a quick project to make. I thought it would come in handy for somthing, so I covered it with paper and added some paper flowers, valentine die cuts, tiny ric rac and some tulle. This is what I came up with.

Thanks again for visiting!

 

Paper mache heart

 I was up late last night and I finished my paper Mache heart. I had purchased it at Joann’s and I did not know what I was going to do with it. I bought some new Martha Stewart paint called Chipotle. It was a really cool deep red and I love how it looked, I added ivory create paper which I hand stitched it to gather it up. And I made the arrow  with a stick I had and this is what I came up with. I think the heart will make a cute gift.

Thanks again for visiting and Happy crafting!
