Yard Sale Find

Yesterday I went to a yard sale (yes, on a Tuesday) and found this nice, heavy silver chain necklace.  I paid a whopping $1 for it!  I knew the intentions I had for it as soon as I laid eyes on it - beads!  So, I spruced it up with some pink and white beads I found at my local WalMart for $2.50 and here is my final project!

Flower Power

This newly painted plaque took me a total of about 4 hours today.  It is painted on canvas with acrylic paints.  I got this idea from a handmade bookmark I saw on none other than Pinterest. 

Valentine's Day

Yes, it's that time of year again.  Stores are busting to the seams with oodles of heart-shaped candies of every kind imaginable, and stuffed animals take over the aisles.  If you are like me, you can never seem to find a gift for your spouse amid all the red and white.  So, you opt for something of the handmade nature.  I came across this idea via Pinterest, and thus made it as a heartfelt gift for my hubby this year.

Monogram Tree

Might I start off by saying that I am ADDICTED to Pinterest!  It is an awesome site filled with ideas from all around the web.  My favorite is the Arts and Crafts section, naturally.  I have come accross so many crafty ideas of things I would love to make in the near future.  The one I am going to share with you today is a Monogram Tree.  Painted with acrylic paints on a small canvas, you then add button 'leaves'.  Pictured above is my finished project.

Creating from Love

Well, here it goes:  The initial post of my newest blogging adventure!  I have always (well, since I can remember at least) LOVED to be creative.  When I see something in the store or at a craft show, I look at the item to see how I could make it.  On this blog, I will be posting crafts that I really like (and links to them if applicable) as well as my own crafts.  So, if you are ready to see some creativity, please have a seat!
