A Cherry on Top

Happy Valentine's Day Cupcake with Cherry on Top!

Glitter-fied

You cannot do any better for a gift that is crafty, thrifty, and glittery all in one.
From humble beginnings glittery things can be made.

Crafted these for the all "girls" in my family. Yes, they are made from small treat boxes left from my bosses' Christmas gift basket. I saved them from the horrible landfill.

Used my favorite color combination of aqua, pink, and white.

You did know that picket fences always make for a good neighbor?
It does!
Not that I have bad neighbors or a picket fence;)

They are so sugary sweet I could just bite one.

Never mind me saving the world one box at a time.
Look out people, I have glitter....

Just in time for Valentines

With not a minute to spare. The little pink lighted tree is loaded with Valentine goodies.
It may even be overloaded...but can you have too many pretties and sweets?
My heart from E...very special to my heart.

One of my pink lovebirds. Can you see the pipe cleaner garland?



One of my small cupcake cottage ornaments...sugary sweet for sure~

A variegated pom pom with rick rack hanger.


I love those milky white glass bulbs. Also added some vintage ribbon still on wooden spools.


I spy a red glitter lollipop in the background :)


Wooden Cherries hiding in the back.

Lots of goodies right there ^


Purchased those glittery puffy hearts from Dollar Tree...8 in a pack. They will appear again on this post.

And there are more glittery puffy hearts. Used some sea salt I had hanging around in the pantry for years to a pretty glass vase. A pretty pink polka dot ribbon ties it up. The Vintage Valentine cupid clown is from Mary. You have to see her collections.



2 more pink trees that I boxed back up..need more Valentine goodies to fill them up~


Some red ceramic cardinals to top off the shelf <3


Happy Valentine's Day Weekend,

Julie

Sugary Sweet Overload

Short but very sweet post:

See Santa? He's watching you!


Peppermint Lollipop Tree


Cotton Candy Chimney Smoke



Peppermint, gumdrop, lollipop, candy cane, cotton candy, lemon drop..oh my!
My teeth hurt just looking at it all. These 2 can be found in my shop.

Can you believe it is almost Thanksgiving? I've been trying to keep up with my running, crafting, working, and now Christmas is on my mind. How about you? Do you feel the pinch?
Like it's closing in..so much I want to do...and know it will not all be possible. Enjoy the season.

Happy it's almost Friday!

Peppermint Happiness Bluebirds

While I was making Elizabeth's baker's dozen of Peppermint Happiness Bluebirds..I decided to whip up 3 more for the shop.

They do somehow take on their own little personality


And for those who may have been waiting for more glitter cottages, two have been listed and hope to have more made before Christmas.


Believe it or not, Christmas is just around the corner.

Boo

There's a goblin at my window, a monster by my door.
The pumpkin at my table keeps on smiling more and more.

There's a ghost who haunts my bedroom, A witch whose face is green.

They used to be my family until they dressed for Halloween.

Bewitching

This little witch is sporting green yarn sneakers and yellow yarn for hair! Holding her broom in one hand and her carved pumpkin in the other. The added embellishments really makes this card pop! Orange vintage lace has been added to the edges and 3 pumpkin charms are dangling at the bottom. Has been added to my LOLLISHOP

I really like this one...I want to keep it for myself
Hope your weekend is beautiful

Spring is HERE!

It's finally warming up a bit in the midwest. I see the greens coming up through the earth in my flower bed. The sun is shining much longer. This means I cantake brighter pictures!!!!

This is a special order for Leigh. She wanted all pink and aqua.
This bunch of bunnies is inspired by Jennifer Murphy http://www.jmurphybears.com/ I love how the little one turned out with her party and and frou frou mini skirt!
Mary http://snowflakes-on-eyelashes.blogspot.com/ ordered these special colors for these cottages and even sent me the bunnies to use for them. Great choice in colors!

I was so inpsired by Mary's choices in colors that I went ahead and created another pair to sell. They are named after her. Mary's Cottage Ornaments!!!

She always inspired me to create.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend,

Glittery Cuppie Cake Ornaments

Don't they just look yummy? I really like these. Small in stature but make a very pretty statement for your tree or use as a package topper! They are 2" x 2" . Hand cut by me from recycled chipboard and they are very light in weight...See no calories...well you would get some fiber anyway;) But seriously not intended for consuming. Please do not try that at home.


Festive cuppies

Shabby Chic Cuppies
Assorted Variety Cuppies

New Projects finished

Creepy Halloween..well not so creepy. In my mind I was making a scary Halloween house, but it always turns to cuteness. I guess scary is not my style. The skull is
even smiling;) Maybe if it's added to a Halloween village with those wicked looking trees and some spider webs it will appear gloomier? Trick or Treat.











Recycled chipboard covered in glittered vintage sheet music. Eyelash yarn sandwiched between the 2 layers of chipboard. Black ribbon for hanging. I positioned the words of the song right in the middle of the dove. Looks equally beautiful on both sides:)














I really like the way the church turned out. It is also covered in vintage sheet music and glittered. The "stained glass" windows are a flowered scrapbook paper. The vintage pom pom trim is from my stash that I have been hoarding for myself..hehe. The trim is sandwiched between the 2 layers of recycled chipboard (my favorite supply right now).

Next time I will make the church door "stained glass" too.

I really think sheet music is appropriate for the dove and church.

Patriotic Cottage Preview

Ready for 4th of July!!!!

All Handmade by me. I have about 4 of these that I will post to my shop in a day or two. Handcut each one from chipboard, glued, assembled, painted, glued, glittered, and added extra goodies! The sturdy base is covered in patriotic scrapbook paper.

Look what is for dinner <3.>
