A few projects

Ever since we got our card group started I've just been in the
mood to do some crafts. Plus I like to get my Christmas/birthday
and other holiday stuff done early especially since I'm having a
baby soon.
Some of these are gifts so if you get it, I hope you like it!

I found this board for $1 and it had some ugly duck on it so I
just covered that up with some cute paper and added some
ribbon. Now it's a barrette holder for a baby shower or
something. The flowers I found at Michaels and I just added
a barrette to them. The little knob sitting at the top is to put
on the wall and then you can hang the board somewhere.
Same idea here, but just a frame. The flowers again are
barrettes.
This is a book that spells out FAMILY. I just decorated it and
then the person who gets it just adds pictures to the inside.
These are some cute and I found them on clearance for $3 at
Fred Meyer. The only bad thing about them is they take
F-O-R-E-V-E-R! I think about 5-6 hours to do.



Just some more blocked letters.This is just a photo box I had that I had old photos in and I never
got them out. I removed the insides and made it my card holder.
I just scrap booked some tabs and added all my homemade cards
in here.

I have about 5 or 6 things more to post, but I'll do it another time. They are Christmas presents so I'm a little leery about somebody seeing them!

crafty birthday present

This was a great birthday present I received from my
cousin/sister-in-law.
A cute frame with a fun picture.
A decorated box.
Then she attached all these cute tags onto things that she loved
about me or things that reminded her of me. i.e. you're athletic
and she had it taped to a ball. It was so fun to look through! Thanks
again Rachelle. I thought it would be fun to share this one.
