Crafting Craziness

Saturday was a day set aside solely for the purpose of crafting with my best friends! Ashley & Maryann came over to the house Saturday morning and we enjoyed some breakfast casserole, S'mores Crispix mix, fun conversation, lots of laughs, and lots of craft projects. We decided to make this an annual event and do it more than once a year. Want to join us? You are certainly welcome! We missed Reena, for sure, and would love for you to come join us next time. Pinterest was our inspiration and Michael's was our friend! Here are some pictures of our mess, our projects, and our process.

Crafting...makes my heart happy!
It was a success too...Scott loved all the projects made for our home. :) That is a Christmas miracle in and of itself, as my taste can be a tad--um--eclectic at times. :)

All finished and SO lovely!

My finished project #1...bottles wrapped in yarn & twine for my kitchen window sill

My finished project #2....Christmas Card Wreath in our kitchen

Some of our crafting supplies and mess for the day

My in-process project...Goodwill $2 painted canvas. Pattern drawn on tape and put onto the canvas. Spray paint over all the canvas. Remove the tape.

Oops! Canvas was too big for my little art on it. This is my attempt to make it all colorful again before I repeat this process. Funny thing was, Scott saw it like this and said he liked it...as is. Maybe he was just trying to be nice because he thought I was finished. :) Love him!
Stay tuned for pictures of the finished in-process art to come soon...as soon as it dries and doesn't smell horribly of spray paint. :)
