Ok so I slacked off! Here is to make up for it!

I slacked off in December, I underestimated how much time work and school and christmas season takes out of you! But plans are in the works for a January craft, so stay posted!

In the mean time I will post something that I made this last month that everyone can do on there own if you feel the crafty bug hit you one day.

Homemade Apothecary Jars- these are great because you can change whats in them to coordinate with the holidays or seasons!

I got everything at Hobby Lobby (my new favorite place!) Here is what you need.

3 unfinished wood candle stick bottoms. About $1 each
3 unfinished wood craft circles. $0.50 each
Black craft paint
Candy jars ( I got three different sizes, but thats up to you). Ranged from $2-$4 depending on size.
Glue

Glue the candle sticks to the craft circles and let dry. After they have dried compleatly paint them black, I did two coats and then distressed them with sandpaper when they had dried. Then you need some heavy duty glue to glue the jars to the candle sticks and your done. Im debating about spray painting the jar lids black but because its been to cold outside I have not gotten around to doing so and now I kinda like them silver. I have also seen where someone has covered the tops with twine, so you can make it your own.

And then the best part is filling them! You can see from my picture for christmas I filled mine with fake snow and ball ornaments! I love these they are great! I cant wait to change up the inside of them for valentines day!

Have fun, and if any one has any questions feel free to post them and I will help as I can.

Welcome!

Hi girls I have finally found the time to put this blog together! This is how I am hoping it will work. I will put up a poll to find out when the best time for us girls to get together and do a craft and then I will decide on a date for a girls craft day! I will post a few ideas of what we can do and apoximatly how much it will cost for the project and let everyone vote on what they want to do, the one with the most votes wins! Some of the crafts will have supplies that you will need to get (so that you can pick our picture frames or colors that you like for your house) and the rest I will get and then just have everyone pay for the day of. After the craft day I am going to post a tutorial for how to make the craft so that anyone that could not attend can still enjoy or so that you can know how to make it again in the future if you want!
The more the merrier so if you know any girls that would like to come and have some fun and make cute crafts feel free to invite them! And also if anyone has any ideas on what they would like to do or has seen a decorative item they would like me to see if we can copy for less feel free to shoot an email my way!
So here is the first poll....To kind of get an idea what times work best for everyone to get together for a craft on the side bar answer the poll and then I will try to pick a day that generally works best for most the group!

Also if you do decide you want to follow the blog....please, please, please at the top of the screen click the button that says follow and then select the option that says follow publicly, just so I know those who are reading and want to participate!
