I have (eep!) one tin left. I gave some to my 9 year old so he could make his own. He used Lego pieces for his and they came out quite cute. I'm still figuring out what to do with my lone survivor...

I bought a bunch of tart tins from our local thrift store a couple of weeks ago.
They were too new for what I had in mind, so I searched Pinterest for a recipe on how to age them. Some vinegar, salt and water gave me exactly the look I was going for, so I could turn them into...
Xmas magnets!
I used random pieces to get three different looks. This one is my favorite.
Or is it this one?
I can't decide. Each has its own little personality.
I must confess: I'm a little obsessed with making these now and have some others in the works.

Wishing all of my bloggy friends a very happy Halloween!

I know Monday is Halloween, but who isn't already thinking about Christmas projects? I know I am.
I'm battling my first cold of the season, so I had some down time this week to do some crafting.
I used an old spaghetti tin to make this pretty. First I added some sheet music as my background. Then I picked the pretty French image (from the Graphics Fairy) and glued that on the sheet music.
Next came the fun part - and I do say that with a touch of sarcasm. I added some cheese cloth to the front of the image. Not exactly an easy task to do while handling a hot glue gun. Ouch! I then added some lace, burlap trim and buttons.
My finishing touch was the Scrabble letters to spell out Noel.
Happy to say I had everything I needed on hand for this quick Xmas project.

I have been woefully neglecting my Etsy shop of late. Sure, I've been fulfilling orders, but I haven't had a chance to add too many new items.
Over the weekend - in between playdates, sleepovers and giving our garage a must-needed fall cleaning - I spent time whipping up some new items.
I love lavender sachets, so I broke out my stamps and ink for these two designs: a country bunny and the White Rabbit.
I also used the country bunny stamp to make some quick, new tags.
It felt good creating some new items for the shop.
