Projects & Linkin' it up PaRtY!

If you own a tween this picture might be familiar....

Yes I can "own" her a few more years!  She walked in after school and I was working on a project.  She said, "Mom, I thought I told you to chill out on the crafting!".  I laughed.  The other day she lectured me on how I should craft less and read more.  She loves to read...so do I.  I'm not sure why she thought the lecture was necessary :)

Didn't have any hooks to hang up the new sign so I had my anti-craft daughter be the hooks...

She loved every moment of it!

I'm likin' the molding projects.  Here are some stars....

It's a fun easy project that anyone can do.  You can even find clearance molding at Home Depot.

A gal in my craft group needs a little inspiration.  She is in charge of this month's craft night and doesn't know what to do.  Let's help her out by LINKIN' IT UP! It's so easy.  There are no rules.  Just share a project. I know my readers aren't just beautiful wonderful people...they are also super crafty.  Show me what your up to!

Friends Inspire...

I have some really great friends who inspire me.  My friend Hannah made this.....

So stinkin cute.  I'm in love with the whole idea!  I met Hannah through my blog and we quickly have decided to be online best friends.  I keep telling her there are houses for sale around me :)  Hannah is so awesome!  She is letting me share this printable...

Love

My friend Kristen had this brilliant idea of gluing (I used Gorilla glue!) molding together and then cutting it into a heart shape.  Genius!

I had to make this one right away and I love it.  I'm not sure exactly where it will end up but I have a feeling burlap might make an appearance with it.

Thanks to good friends who inspire!!!

Wreath

It's time for the ornament wreath to come down off my front door.  The only problem is I don't have anything to take it's place.  Yesterday I set off to make a Valentine's wreath and ended up with something else.

Remember those burlap flower ornaments I made for my tree?  I put them to good use on my wreath!  Lovin' the different style of flowers together.

I also made a few burlap hearts for this wreath.  They didn't make the cut for this project but maybe something in the future?

I'm a mood crafter. I think I'm also getting good at making up crafty terms:) Just in case you don't know what a mood crafter is...it's someone who crafts to their particular mood at that moment.

Today I've been grouchy. When I was little I was taught when you are grouchy and having grouchy thoughts to sing an uplifting song. My song has changed throughout the years. When I started with my grouchy thoughts today I thought for sure my song would be "Count Your Blessings" It wasn't. It was this....

"There's nothing you can do that can't be done.

Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.

Nothing you can say but you can learn

how to play the game

It's easy.

There's nothing you can make that can't be made.

No one you can save that can't be saved.

Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time -

It's easy.

All you need is love, all you need is love,

All you need is love, love, love is all you need."

As I sang my little heart out I created this....

All you need is love. Thanks little heart craft for making my heart feel happy.
