The creation bug bit again!

I have been creating this morning and believe it or not I still have my pj's on!! shh...
don't tell anyone please!!! :) I guess you could call today my "number 1" morning.
A running theme of numbers today. :) Oh no...I just looked at the clock and we have
passed over into afternoon...yikes! I gotta get dressed!

Mini cloches that I finally got finished and that love!

A pretty candle holder. yep...still on numbers. :)

Had to share my huge birdhouse that I purchased on the route 127 garage sales
for a whopping $3.00!! There is a 39.99 sticker on the bottom. What a deal steal!!

{ Sorry the lighting wasn't good at all the day I took this photo} 

I finally got these signs listed in my shoppe as well. They were going to go with me to the Artisan fair, but
it ended up not happening and sadly I just can't keep everything.  :)

You can find all of my goodies in my Etsy shoppe {except the church of course. ha!}

My mama just isn't getting her strength back as fast as she had hoped for. I spent the day
 with her and my father yesterday and it was a good day, but she needs some encouragement
so please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
Thank you so much my deary bloging friends!!

I started with an old wooden berry picking box...

 ...laid it on it's side and started embellishing. {it was already painted white}

First I added white cheesecloth and then an angel graphic from The Graphics Fairy. I glued lace around the edge of the angel photo and then I added a feather, tag and tiny vintage ornaments.

I LOVE the wonderful patina that is found on old Christmas ornaments. You just can't get that in new ornaments.

I thought for a sudden burst of creativity that it turned out pretty good.
What do you think?


First time around I added a candle {and I even lit it}, but that was before I added the feather and I really didn't want my home going up in flames, so I opted for the vintage ornaments instead. You could use a battery powered votive though and I think it would work just fine. I see all kinds of possibilities with these embellished with holy cards and candles etc.  I hope to work on some more after the holidays.
