More projects

Have I said yet that I decided that I am making Christmas presents for everyone in my family this year? It's a fabulous excuse to expel my creative energies. So...maybe you might see some of these again, but I am just so excited about them that I had to share! :)

Suncatchers: I found the butterflies on clearance at Pier One, CD's, sparkles, beads, and all kinds of stuff to reflect the sun. Turned out fun.



So, I got this idea on pintrest to do a tree and use buttons for the leaves, but unfortunately I didn't have the right size buttons, and it really didn't work with the shape of my tree.  What I did have was extra stems of flowers from a bouquet so I decided to pull them off and make myself a spring tree.  I think this was especially appealing because I was in the hospital for half of spring.  While I hate the allergies that come with spring, I love the blooming trees.  I missed a lot of them this year, so...now I have one year round. :)



This one is another pintrest find (I'm in love in case you were wondering). I used canvas boards, modge podge to paper it and buttons for initials!  Then ribbon to hang. I love the way they turned out!!
