My Crafty Side

So to fight off boredom and now that I have the time, I've tried making a lot of my presents for our family's birthdays and Christmas gifts. So far I've had a lot of fun and come of with some really cute ideas. For Frank's niece I made a Christmas countdown. I forgot to take a picture but it turned out really cute. I used a bead holder container that had 24 individual jars that I painted and decorated and put treats in each container (I found the container at Walmart.) For my sister-in-law I made a necklace that I copied from Studio 5. It was cute, but I think I will do it a little different if I do it again. Today is my mom and mother-in-laws birthday's so I came up with my own little craft and thought I would share my idea. Hope they like it! If not I had fun making it. I'm not the most crafty person. I don't usually have the patience. I love the idea of being crafty but I always get in a hurry to get it done, but I'm getting better. Anyway let me know what you think.


This I just mod podged a wood letter with scrapbook paper to hang on the wall
