The HOME SHOW is almost here!

 

Hope everyone had a fabulous thanksgiving. We did. We got to spread ours out until Sunday, so that was nice! 

We actually ventured out on “Black Friday” at 4:30 am. Said I’d NEVER do that again, but I DID! What was I thinking?….Its crazy out there! LOL

 

 

So, the house is FILLING up with new goodies for the HOME SHOW! Hope everyone remembers to stop by for a visit and some shopping!

The date is SUNDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2010. From 11am – 5pm!

 

You can email me at lcompton@neo.rr.com for directions or more information!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

a VERY happy Thanksgiving to all! Stay safe and enjoy!

Make sure you are an "official" FOLLOWER!

Just wanted to be sure you know how to be a "follower". It is very easy. Just click on the small button on the right side of the page where it says follow in the white box. It will ask you to log into your google, twitter or yahoo account and thats it!

If you don't have one of those just click on "create new accout". You just have to choose a user name and password....it is quick and simple and you never really have to worry about "using" that new account again, it just lets you be listed as a "follower" on mine or any other blog. No strings attached! No harrassing emails or anything.

I am working towards my first goal of 50 followers. When I reach that goal I will be giving away a prize! I will select the winner from that list.  So come on everyone....follow me!

hAPPy Little SnowMeN

 

I am having so much fun creating vintage-y, glittery snowmen! These are made with styrofoam balls (an item, I must say, I have NEVER used for crafting!) But I think they turned out kinda fun!

 

I have thrown Santa in the mix too! I found the metal plate I used here in the clearance halloween bin at my local craft store so I bought a bunch!  They were bright orange—wrong color but great price so I snatched ‘em up!   A little paint, paper and glue and voila!—Christmas!

All these new items will be in my

HOLIDAY OPEN HOUSE HOME SHOW!

New Ornaments!

Hey there! Wanted to share my new ornaments I made with the help of my new Tim Holtz Sizzix Rosette die! I have made TONS of these! Look for them to post soon in my Etsy store! 

Had fun playing with different glitters, papers and ribbons to create a unique snowflake each time (no snowflakes are alike you know!)

 

 

I’m sure you already saw the ones in my Esty space that are on picks…those are fun too! I was thinking of doing a smaller version of those to use as cupcake picks.
