I'm still alive!

       Wow, I can't believe how long its been since I posted. I can't believe i went through the holidays without posting more projects. I do have to say in my defence my house was crazy for the holidays, for the first time in 7 years all my children and grandchildren were here for 2 weeks, I'm pretty sure I made people crazy with my deep seeded need to keep my house clean at all times, kinda hard to do with 9 people living in your house for a week and then 14 people living there for the second week oh yea and have Christmas and New Years but hey my family is awesome and this was just about the best holiday ever. Well the house is back to normal and unbelievably quiet so I think things can get normal in the craftroom now. That being said I hope everyone will forgive me for not posting so much this holiday season. I am working on a few projects that I hope to get done soon like a small hope chest I picked up at a garage sale for 3 dollars and maybe I will finally do moms birdhouse if you watched my craftroom tour you know which one I'm talking about, its been almost 8yrs since she passed and I think it's time.
      So Happy Late New Years to all my crafty friends and heres to a year with tons of crafts.

MY Block Project

Here it is, the blocks are 2in blocks, I painted them with Auntique white paint and used up alot of my older papers and stickers that were sitting around doing nothing. All the lettering was cut out on my favorite cutter ever the Pazzles Inspiration and then glittered, flocked or embossed. Most of the decorations were from other projects leftovers, so the whole project cost me maybe 10 dollars as I got the blocks at a garagesale but I cant imagine if you had to buy the wood that it would cost very much. Halloween

 Ok heres the trick, just turn the blocks 1/4 of a turn and you have a decoration for the next holiday. Thanksgiving

 Christmas

 and finaly New Years, all in one decoration, put it up in Oct. and dont take it down till mid Jan.

Ok let me know what you think, I am very happy with how it turned out and it will be around for many years.

One More Sneek Peek

Ok here you go the last sneek peek, next week the final reveal.

OMGosh it is turning out so cute, just you wait and see!

And its a quadruple decoration too so it will cover 4 different holidays.

Gotta love a decoration you can put up at Halloween and not put away till after New Years.

Decorations

Remember these, I showed them in my craftroom tour video and said they were my next project, well I'm finally working on it and it is going to be awesome. It will be a home decoration for Halloween , Thanksgiving , Christmas and New Years all in one. The Idea has been rollong around in my head for about 5 yrs. starting when I bought the blocks at a garagesale 34 blocks for a dollar. So stay tuned for some hints. Oh yea the blocks are about 2 inch cubes.

Fall Decor

Ok so I love my new porch, when we moved into the new house I wasn't real sure how I was going to like the new house, it is smaller but mostly in the master bedroom and bath. As you all know I absolutly love the new craftroom but one unexpected thing I really love is the front porch, the porch at the other house was no bigger than the doorway so there was not really any room to decorate. The new porch is very big and what a joy to decorate and thanks to the dollar store and a few things I had already it looks great. I had totaly forgot that I always wanted a porch that I could decorate cute for Fall. This move has turned out to be a really good thing. Just wait till Christmas.
