Peppermint Candy Dish (Edible)
One of my friends thought of using Jelly Ranchers at Easter time - I like the idea of a big cross with the pretty colors making it look mosaic or stained glass!
Anyway - I will be trying this out - with different colors of candy - different shapes - to be sure! Santa could have his cookies served on this little peppermint dish and then eat the dish, too!
You just place parchment paper down on your cookie sheet - arrange peppermints into the design and the bake at 350 degrees until they start to melt and remove - about 10 minutes. You have to watch closely! Store in a sealed bag or container.
*After posting this I checked Pinterest - and of course, they are ALL over pinterest!

Rosette Felt Grapevine Wreath
Here are a couple of pictures of us hard at work. I don't know how Brendel sat on that hard tile floor so long!
Brad and I with the finished product. I can't wait to see some of the photos that Leslie comes up with using the wreath!
Items needed:
felt - she bought 10 yards which was way more than we needed. You could get by easily with half of that.
scissors
glue/glue sticks
tacky glue
The actual pattern was 3 x 3 inch squares - but we made ours 5 x 5 and then trimmed into circles. You can get the true directions here.

Gift Card in a Can
Very quick - giftcard in a can - - - I love it and plan to make a lot of these for Christmas. I already have ideas how to fill some of these for my grandangels this year.
Scrapbook paper is perfect - you don't even have to trim very much. These particular Pringles cans do not have the "pop tab" - these have the paper pull tabs - I will make sure I find the pop tabs for my next ones. I think they will will be more fun for the girls to open.
This one is for a wedding shower - so I embellished with 3D stickers with Bliss & Happy Life. I added a flower on top for good measure and a little bit of scrap ribbon.
How cute would this be for a baby shower? Cute paper - lots of curled ribbon - and filled with baby socks, bibs, etc - along with a gift card? You can stuff quite a bit in these tall cans!
So just carefully cut out the bottom of the can with a can opener and empty out the chips - and wipe clean. I know some people hot glue the bottom back on but why bother? Just put the plastic lid on the bottom that came on top of the can!! They all come with one! Simple Simple!

From Yardsale Junk to My Wall Treasure
I found this at a yard sale a few weeks ago and bought it for 50 cents. At the time I had no idea why - I just wanted it and knew I would find some use for it eventually. It was pretty scarred but had no chips or cracks. It is actually made of plastic and the letters are raised. I know it looks ceramic in the photo. (*I wish it was!) Plus it matched no decor in my house.
I tried to stain it - and that was an epic fail. I decided to just paint the whole thing black - and I love it! I was going to take some white paint and go over the letters but I decided I like it just the way it is.
I know it is hard to read it in this photo - but not in person - just click on the picture to enlarge it and you can see it better. Now it fits right in with my black and red decor!

Simple Simple Vase for the Office
I just spray painted a tall one white - added a black and white ribbon that matches the decor in my office - (I have this ribbon around my bulletin board) added a string of stick on beads and a gold letter G.
I will cut some of my roses before I leave for work this morning but for now I added a couple of stalks of bamboo to show it off.

From Dress to Skirt in 0.5
I decided to just make skirts out of them. Here is one I finished tonight - I also had enough to make a necklace scarf to match.
I love the fabric print - but it had a bodice that just screamed "look at me" and I had to wear something under it PLUS a shrug and I still felt subconcious in it. I love Maxi skirts just as much as dresses so this is a winner now!

Jumbo Paperclips Redo
I trimmed around them until they were just small plastic circles so I would still have something to glue on to. The first one actually has a piece that is supposed to be used on a headband. My office is black and white theme - so I really like this one. The 2nd one is just a 3D scrapbook sticker. I am going to put it in whatever book I happen to be reading at home. (which is on rare occasion since I mostly read from my Nook Color. I just used hot glue to put them on.
Simple - but now they are something that I will actually use.

Denim Bible Cover - good as new!
A little scrap fabric and a hot glue gun and it is good as new.
Denim, Cotton, burlap, metal cross -and a monogram G ribbon for bookmark. I sewed the pocket to the denim - other than that - everything is hot glued.
♥My mission now is to find other unwanted bibles so they can be revamped like this one and given to people who might benefit from them. ♥
This one I plan to keep for Wednesday night bible study so I added my initials with iron on letters.

Hand Painted Tee Shirt
I used to be so good at drawing and painting but I just don't do it much any more and so I'm not as good as I used to be. The good thing about doing stick figures is you don't really have to be good. Anyone can draw a stick figure!

Tissue Flowers
They are very simple to made.
All you need is tissue paper and a little piece of wire.
First - - - Layer your tissue paper - for these 2 - I pulled the tissue paper straight out of the pack which was 9 sheets - a mixture of lime green and hot pink. I didn't want to use all of the package so I cut a width of about 9 inches. I then folded it over and cut in half so I could make 2 flowers.
Start folding accordian style - about an inch wide. Fold over and secure with wire.
Carefully start separating the tissues and fluff into a pretty flower.
