Fall Gourd Wreath

Creepy Crawler Wreath

Everything is more fun with glitter - bugs included!

Halloween Nail Designs

Witch Cakes

Marble cake mix dyed Green for bewitching fun. 

Filled with chocolate pudding for an oozing good time...

Cinderella Inspired Nails

Sometimes I just want to feel like a princess.

I highly recommend Art Clubs skinny brush line...

It can be used on a full nail too, of course!

Book Planters

Book planters made from 2 books, drilled, cut and glued together (it was quite the task!).

Succulents are best for permanent planting, but we used ivy for these 

Bridal Shower Center pieces. 

Hoo's 30?

Owl "Hoo's 30?" etched wine glass from homemade stencil. 

Etching cream is my new favorite thing! 

Leopard Nails

I am currently borrowing hands for fun Mani's!

Here's my first stab at leopard print using nail polish. 

Let's go to the Beach - each...

I did not go to the beach nearly enough this summer!

So I made a wreath about it...

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?!

I have cake pops to make, earrings to wear and a wreath to hang!

Let's go Giants!

Seeing Stars

Ask not what your country can do for you,

but what you can craft for your country!

Congrats Grads!

Here's to the Class of 2012

Red Velvet cupcakes with vanilla frosting;

Decorations: Reeses peanut butter cups, chocolate graham cracker, fondant and pull-n-peel twizzlers.

Minnie Mouse Cupcakes

It was a special little girls 1st birthday, 

so with my dearest fellow crafter, Michelle, we whipped these up for her!

Proud to be an American Crafter

Wire garland can be a mess and get tangled;

wrapped up in a wreath makes for one patriotic win!

Pickle and Salsa jars are my new favorite craft item. 

They can be decorated with any color tissue paper, for any holiday, for anyone!

 (I suggest a contained candle or tea light inside for less mess and damage)

Flower Power

April Showers Bring May Flowers

- or in 2012 -

May Booms bring June Blooms!

Bridal Shower Love

Personalized gifts are one of my favorite things to make. 

This beautiful bride is getting married this August, so for her shower I personalized a coat hook/frame. 

Her soon to be husband is sure to never to forget their anniversary!

*****

After crafting for a blushing bride, I was pleasantly surprised with the opportunity to craft for some wonderful bridesmaids. 

At the Bridal shower they all had matching glasses to drink from - and now enjoy!

Cocktail Anyone?

Cocktail Umbrella's are for more than just snazzing up your drink!

Easy French Manicure

I highly recommend NYC Color's # 134 French White tip. 

I have decent nail beds so I simply put a couple coats of clear to top it off. 

Voila!

Eat a pint!

This is the birthday cake I made for my dear George's birthday BBQ. 

Cut from a 9x13 pan and iced with love <3

Country Crock has shared these fun food crafts and recipes,

I can't wait to make some!

A Very Veggie World

Duct Tape heaven!

Check out the 5 Below nearest you!

Fishy Friday!

I had some un-iced cupcakes, blue sugar sprinkles and a craving for swedish fish. 

Behold, the result.

Spring/Easter Candle holders

I am adamant about recycling - into my craft collection!!! 

If you love salsa,pickles or anything that comes in a jar, this craft is for you! Keep those jars and make yourself a nice candle holder. All you need is tissue paper, everyday glue (adding a little warm water makes it easier to brush), scissors, a paint brush and an idea!

Easter Treats

Did you know that brown or free range eggs dye brighter than your everyday bleached white eggs?

The eggs are actually gum balls. 

Luck of the Irish!

I hope this St. Patty's Day was lucky for everyone!

I took a stab at making bagels. I need some more practice, but they sure were festive!

Valentine's Day

Pull N' Peel Twizzlers make great (and delicious) cupcake toppers.

Ebony and Ivory Cupcakes

Nuke frosting for 10-15 seconds at a time until smooth, then dip your cupcake right in and let cool. Makes for a smooth and delicious surface. Before cooling dip into your favorite toppings. Mmmmm

Winter Wreath

Unfortunately it did NOT snow... so I call this one wishful thinking.

Fall Holiday Wreaths

Fall 2011: I decided I wanted to make a welcome wreath for each month of the year. The basic idea began with foam shapes I found at A.C Moore and it took off from there! Now I incorporate whatever I can find that suits the theme of the wreath. I have a feeling I'll have more than one a month, the themes are just endless!

Theme ideas always welcome! :-)
