Christmas Crafts!

I am alive I promise, I just have been super busy!
I was gone for 5 days and didn't have any time to 
get my posts put together ahead of time.

I would love to show you a few of my Christmas crafts!

Check out my cute $3 frame that I turned into HO HO HO!

A few years ago I found these fun square chargers and turned them
into holiday plates with ribbon and vinyl!

Here is my monthly set of 10 blocks!

Along with my countdown blocks!

This year I was involved in a ornament gift exchange group.
There are 12 members in the group and each member makes 12 of the
same ornament to give to the other members.
I was very excited about my glitter and vinyl
glass ornament.

I am way excited to show you my next 3 crafts.
I am sure you have seen these adorable kits that
you can get from Wendy over at her fabulous blog
She has a cute Etsy store where she sells her kits for way cheap!

Don't you love this cute little reindeer?

I ordered the JOY before she offered it with a jingle bell,
now you can get the kit with a big jingle bell.

This one is one my favorites.

So there you have it, a few of my Christmas decorations!

Peppermint candy jar!

First of all I would like to apologize for my lack of posts lately!
I am especially sorry that I haven't had time to put Hoo are you
up for the second week in a row!
I have been super busy and my computer has been a nightmare.
Anyway enough of my complaining I want to show off a little something.
 
I am in love with my cute peppermint candy car!

I had to hurry and take a picture before my husband and kids ate all the candy!
This jar was from Halloween. I copied the idea from A Pumpkin and a Princess!
I started to make a red one for Christmas and then it rained on my pot, so I took my original one out of my Halloween tote and added Christmas ribbon and candy to it!
Isn't it so cute?

staples/staple gun

Step 1
Spray your frame



Step 2
Wrap garland around frame

Step 3

neighbor gift idea!

Last year I had a few friends that I wanted to give a little something to them.
I had seen the idea several times and decide it would be a fun gift to make.
I went to Smith's and purchased 6 packs of bottled root beer and cream soda.
I then turned them into reindeer!
They were so easy and they didn't take long at all. 
CAUTION!!!!
I do have to warn you that when delivering don't leave them in your friend's truck. We did this with one of our friends and we didn't realize they were out of town and they exploded all over the truck. What great friends we are! Merry Christmas we killed the reindeer!

What is the giveaway you ask?
Well here it is!

That is right, it is three chargers that spell out JOY!
Please excuse my picture. This is what happens when you take pictures late at night.
