Gettin Crafty!

Thank You Pinterest. I know people complain about Pinterest and how they feel like they will never have time to do all the things they have pinned. I don't see Pinterest this way. I see it as a way to store good ideas in case I need them in the future. When I moved last summer all of those great organization tips I pinned came in handy. Now at a time in my life when I am trying with all my might to ignore as much as possible about the current situation I am unfortunately living in, I decided to craft. After all it is cheaper than therapy.

What spurred the creations was a free standing metal frame that my Mom left when she moved. It has 3 sections on it that I thought would be great for seasonal decor outside of my front door. I have finished Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. The rest of the Seasons will have to wait for a while. My family is tired of living in glitter and paint.

Next are some Halloween Fun. I saw these on Pinterest and have been wanting to make them for months. The wreath was holding me back because of the cost involved to purchase all that was required. I had to make a trip to Michaels to get some adhesive. They had a similar wreath outside the door. I had a temporary laps in judgment and broke down and bought the purple and black glittery tulle/ribbon. I also bought the hat and pipe cleaners. It cost me less than $20 to make all of these projects. Now pick your jaw up off the floor. Most of the materials I already owned. The shoes, stockings, skirt part of the wreath came from the Swap Shop as well as all the wood used for all of the signs. Thank You SWAP SHOP. 

This last board my just be my favorite. It may also stay in the kitchen all year long. I wanted to add some purple paint to it but I didn't have any left. 

If you want to join me to get your craft on I am always happy to. Now that I have had some emotional cleansing it is time to pack up the paint, cricut, vinyl, and glitter and finish all the other projects I have going on around the house.
