A Day Late and a Dollar Short!


Y'know, sometimes I worry myself....


It's kinda scary, really.

I know I'm a Grandma.
but...come ON!
I'm only 38. ONLY. 38.


I'm not old.


Not THAT old!!!!



but my memory....




Scatterbrained. That's me.



Well, anyways, I missed the Blog Party yesterday. I kept thinking it was on Tuesday. Then, it snowed, the kids went to school 2 hours late, my husband was home, I had to work at Paper Muse....excuses, I know. What it boils down to is simple: I FORGOT!!!! ...sigh...




Okay, enough. Better late than never, right?


So, first off, I want to share my favorite wreath. I wrote about it a little in my last post, if you read it. I found these deer, these lovely flocked deer at the Goodwill. They were .99!!!! Oh, how I love these deer! Add to that, a vintage bottlebrush wreath. Truly vintage, not just reproduction. Tiffant found it at an Estate sale we went to. She carried it around the whole time, but, at the last second, decided she didn't want it. She asked if I did, and I swear, I whimpered, I was so HAPPY! And it was only .50! Lovely aged white color.... It had ugly plastic pointsettias on it, so those had to go. I put some Shiny Brite ornaments in their place. These ornaments are the kind that have the indented starburst-like front. I found them at an antiques store. They were the loveliest colors, but the indent was broken on them. The lady at the counter said I could have them for free, if I had any use for them. {choke} Ummm, I think I could come up with something....




Here it is:




Next is a little village scene I made. I spray painted a wooden cake plate, added a little village of wooden houses, LOTS of glitter, fake snow and a few bottlebrush trees, a cake dome, and....


Well, I wanted to share my pink tree all decorated, but I don't have pictures yet, and I have three babies wanting lunch, so, I'll try to do it later.

That is, If I can remember!

LOVE those posies!!!



I just ordered these from Monica at Caramelos on Etsy. I can't even tell you how much I LOVE these! I can't wait to get them! I ordered 12 bunches, so I can make lots of fun things for MY Etsy shop. YAY!!! Oh, I also ordered clear glass glitter.

I got these cute little houses at Goodwill for $1.99 and I'm about to transform them into something oh-so-adorable for my shop. I'm thinking old book pages, paint wash, clear glitter...kind of like Amy's Sugarville houses at ispireco.

Also, I'm working on some kits for my shop. Little houses (again, with the houses, you might say?) Yeah, I know, it's a theme (or fixation...whatever...) with a cute bubble window surrounded by glitter. Inside, a charming vintage image. Pretty scrapbook papers on the outside, and vintage wallpaper on the roof. And, to finish it off, why, posies, of course! The'll be up soon, so check back!

These cute little elves are going up, too! I love the colors on these little guys. They were made in Japan, and all but one are either made of a pinecone or are sitting on a pinecone. I don't know why the roly ploy guy doesn't have his own pinecone, but he's got the cutest round red body!

Have a wonderful day!
