For my neices first birthday I wanted something that I could give her that wasn't traditional- like toys and clothes. I don't live by her and miss her and wanted something more thoughtful than your average gift. I asked my sister what her rooms theme was and she said it was earth tones and foresty. When she said that I knew I had the perfect frame. I just couldn't decide what to put in it. I played with so many phrases, first and last name placements, and I decided what I liked so much was the old antiqued wood frame, and I didn't want to draw attention away from it. So I did her name, and a simple "I am a child of god" across it.
Simple.

Santa Wreath
I love love love this wreath. The original version I saw was made of burlap. My last two wreaths were made of burlap so I wanted something different, but when I went to Hobby Lobby they had a minimal amount of red burlap and said it was back ordered 3 weeks, so I figured I could switch it up a little bit. I used red felt and made the belt with burlap and scrapbook paper. Super cute!
My sister in law ordered one but thought it needed a little something. So I added Ho Ho Ho to it. Very nice touch!
Kit includes: wreath, felt cut into 2" squares, straight pins, ribbon for hanging, black burlap, and precut belt buckle. (if you want the letters those will be included too)

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
When I made this, I originally used silver vinyl because I have a plethora of it, and figured it's perfect for stencils. So my original plan was to use a red board and paint white letters on it. But after webbing the vinyl I liked the way it looked. All silvery and shiney. So I left it how it was and added it to a white piece of wood. :)

Thanksgiving Blocks
I kept my Thanksgiving/fall crafts simple because Halloween was a huge craft time and I can only imagine what Christmas will be like. These are 2x4 wood pieces, 8" long. 2 have scrapbook paper, and I tried to add something simple to the phrases. I personally love the owl on Be Thankful.
These I'm selling individually or collectively. So you can pick one or a pair, or all 3

Gobble Till You Wobble Set
I think this is the cutest Thanksgiving phrase. I had to use it as a craft. I used 2x4's and cut them in half for small, thin wood, painted them brown, added scrapbook paper, vinyl, and a ribbon. I love it. It's my favorite of all the Thanksgiving crafts I made.
Kits include: 3 wood pieces, 3 various scrapbook papers, vinyl, and ribbon.

Etched Mirror
This was a project that I never wanted to take on. But i was up to the challenge. I have a lot of experience with various scrapbook paper, vinyl, wood- but very little with etching mirrors. I have done projects in the past with etching, but it was a last name on the bottom of a dish, or a short saying. This was totally nerve wracking. My sister in law had the vision, and I ended up making one for her and one for her best friend.
The Saying:
I have AMAZING potential. I can make GOOD choices. I am NEVER alone. I can do HARD things. I am BEAUTIFUL. I am of GREAT worth. He has a PLAN for me. I KNOW who I am. A DAUGHTER of God.

Witch Plaque Variation
My original post about my Witch Plaque is HERE. When I did a craft day with my sister in law's friends her mother in law wanted a plague but with no kids at home "lives here with her little monsters" didn't apply. So she ordered a plaque with a different saying and I loved it!

Duct Tape Valentine Wreath
My fingers hurt so bad by the time I finished this wreath. This wreath is so time consuming, the only way it's worth it to sell them is as-is, already completed. I shortened the ribbon after I took a picture of it but never took another pic.
This is red, pink, and white duct tape, cut and rolled, and pinched into little rossette's. It took me 3 days, because it wasn't a project I could sit down and finish in one sitting. My fingers needed so many breaks. And my kids needed their mom. :) I hot glued them onto a cardboard circle and hung this wreath inside.

Temple Block
I needed a craft to do for the ladies at church. We had heard quite a few complaints about the seriousness of our extra meetings, and they wanted something fun and lighter. I had to get permission to use up a huge chunk of our budget but with dinner provided and a craft it was the highest attended activity I have seen thus far.
They are so incredibly simple. It's wood cut into 5x7 pieces, painted black with sanded edges. Printed pictures of the temple in 5x7 and then trimmed. Mod podge the pics on. We tied a thick ribbon around one side and a little white tulle. Perfect and very budget friendly. Especially when you want to make a lot.
Here's the website I got the pictures from- LilLuna- she is fabulous, she didn't have the Oakland temple picture with out words so I emailed her and within an hour she had responded with the correct pic. I loved it.

Egg Wreath
This craft was easy peasy. It's colorful, bright, and perfect for Easter. I have hung it up for the last two Easter seasons. It's simply plastic eggs glued to cardboard. I did it that way so it layed flat on the door.
This is a craft anyone could do. I tied a purple ribbon to the top to hang it by.

Land That I Love Set
I couldn't believe how popular this was among my crafting group. I loved it, but to see how many other people loved it too was awesome. Each wood piece measures 7x10, I initially feared it'd be too big and wanted to do 5x7, but I'm so glad I stuck with the larger size. It was perfect.
