This month has been hectic with craft shows (sometimes two!) every weekend since the first of November. I've had several people ask how I have time to work on things and even one person remark "you obviously don't have kids!", but in truth, my ability to craft is partially because I try to stay organized. I am grateful for a break right now, but the past weeks has started with organizing and planning on Sunday, having a list of everything I need to do each night, and some things to work on during lunch each day. This was great because it helped me stay focused with what was at hand, and also make sure I could replenish anything needed for the next week.
I will be posting some tutorials soon on some things I've made and want to share, but until then, here are some pictures of ideas to share!
I made "bags of tags" where ten tags were in a cute bag ready to decorate a present! I also made several bunches of bows, that are also ready to go on a present.
Presents and Pine cones! I pre-decorated some large boxes and made them super cute to match whatever great present would go inside. The pine cones were were hand painted, glittered, and be-decked to make any tree beautiful!
Candy purses uses a top note die cut and are great stocking stuffers. Above, jumbo clothespins are perfect for holding a picture or a recipe, notes, or being a paper-weight. I sell a good amount of these at each show, which tells me people love them as much as I do!
And the paper stars? I love these!!! Stay tuned for a tutorial on how to make these. :)
