Vintage Lace Organization ~

I had a couple of these jars just sitting around and a pile of antique lace laying around so I decided to combine the two. I added a scrapbook paper design to the top of the lid along with a vintage millinery flower . I then tied seam binding ribbon around the jar along with a *LACE* flashcard. Loving these colors right now ~ Blessings !

Valentine Creation ~

I was able to find a few minutes to create a little something for Valentines day. I am really hung up on hang tags, so here are a few that I made. I listed a few in my Etsy shop so come on over and check them out.

It is snowing here today...a very light airy snow, but don't let that fool you. We are under a winter storm warning and are supposed to receive from 6-10 inches of snow with blowing and drifting so I guess I will stay in for the rest of the day. I ran uptown this AM and the roads were already getting slick...snow wasn't supposed to start until 3 pm and it was snowing this morning at 10 am! Winter is here with a vengence. This poem describes Michigan to a T !

It's winter in Michigan,And the gentle breezes blow. Seventy miles an hour, At twenty-five below. Oh, how I love Michigan,When the snow's up to your butt. You take a breath of winter, And your nose gets frozen shut. Yes, the weather here is wonderful, So I guess I'll hang around. I could never leave Michigan,'Cause I'm frozen to the ground!

Little time to create ~

Annika ~ 21 months old... Keira ~ 14 months old...

Allysha ~ 9 and 1/2 years old...

Jonathan ~ 2 and 1/2 years old.

I have had very little time to create lately, but I did make these Christmas ornaments of my grandchildren for my tree several days ago. I guess I need to get a better camera because these pictures do not show how sparkly they are. I used glass glitter on them and they just shine on my tree! I also made little banners to add to them with their names and the year and also embellished the banner with transparent glass glitter . I love how they turned out! I can't believe that my oldest granddaughter Allysha will be 10 years old next June! Where oh where do the years go??

I may be MIA this weekend as we are going to be celebrating Christmas with my children and grandchildren over the new year. Enjoy and have a blessed day!

Victorian Christmas Ornament

I wish my camera had better close up features because you can't really tell how cute this tag is. I created this today using a free image from Dawn over at The Feathered Nest (http://the-feathered-nest.blogspot.com/) and I thought it turned out so cute. I can see several of these on a tree decorated in vintage style. You probably can't tell from the pictures, but there is glass glitter on part of this tag and it just sparkles. I also used a vintage Merry Christmas out of an old Christmas card. I will be listing this in my Etsy store and will be making more with different images. Have a blessed day!
