I promised a giveaway and here it is! I've spent the past couple of weeks picking up craft items for me and YOU! Here's a bird's eye view of what I'm calling Crafter's Delight: The winner will receive a paper mache dress form, paper mache cone (or tree depending upon which way you look at it!), black tulle netting, ribbon galore, pre-strung mini wood plaque (great for using with chalkboard paint!), a fat quarter of shabby...
I'm not the biggest fan of working with glitter. Mainly because I always seem to make a mess with it. But I do love the look in the end. This week I broke out my German glass glitter and some Martha Stewart glitter for some quick Xmas touches. First up is this old pocketwatch: I've seen this look on Etsy and wanted to take a crack at it so when my husband dug up this...
First I wanted to send a big thank you out to Karen at The Graphics Fairy for featuring my sled on today's Brag Monday. It really made my day! And thank you to everyone who left such lovely comments about it! And now onto today's project. I had a ton of leftover Dollar Store matchboxes from two years ago. Yup, you read that right. I bought them two years ago to do a copycat Country...

I also got 5 little bottles that I plan to embellish. First makeover is the bucket: Can you tell I ran out of white spray...
Got to play Martha Stewart yesterday. Well, not really but I did use the fabulous stocking template mentioned in the December issue of Martha Stewart Living. You have to go to: marthastewart.com/stocking-template to download and print it, and then you get to make one of these: I used the larger template for this stocking. I have been wanting to do a burlap stocking for the past two years. I don't know why I never did one...
I'm still happily transforming some of the goodies I got at my local church's thrift store sale a couple of weeks ago. The sled was my first transformation, and yesterday I put the finishing touches on these cute shaker boxes: I spray painted both of them black. Once they were dry, I added some vintage sheet music to each top. Then I tied them together with some of the plaid fabric I also got at...
