And then decorated it up like this:
I'm pretty sure this:
wasn't exactly what he had in mind.
But we thoroughly enjoyed it...thanks Dad!
This weekend my friend Kristi (of 28 years!) and I took a road trip to my parents' cabin. We loaded down her car with enough crafting supplies to decorate a small country and headed out. We got there and immediately began crafting.
On the agenda:
1 Scrapbook
2 Fall Wreaths (wonder what those were for? Hmmm)
1 Crocheted scarf
1 "Rag Bag"
1 something with chalkboard paint
I am happy to report we got all of those things done and then some! Let's take a look, shall we?
Here we have a mirror I sprayed with chalkboard paint and glued a fall "pick" onto. I wrote "FALL" with white chalk when I got home. The mirror was messed up and had been buried in the back of a cabinet. Now it has a purpose in life!

Cute little pumpkin pillow thingys that just about anyone could make.
Fall pick hung upside-down with bow.

ReplyDeleteOh my, I love the bag. How much would you charge me for me? Please leave a post.

Hi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteThis particular bag is for a giveaway I am doing on the 22nd. You can certainly enter that by leaving a comment that day, becoming a follower of the blog, or sharing an idea for a fall wreath.
I will have to do some thinking about how much I would charge for this bag. It is a very time consuming project. If you would send me an email, I would be happy to get back with you. Thanks!!
