One hot chick

Amanda and I have been on a little crafting spree lately!!! we are trying to loose a little weight before we go to California with our good friends Becky Cluff and Stacy Moore to!!! So to keep ourselves from eating we are crafting, fabulous idea eh!!!!
this is just one of the many things coming out of the workshop!!! They turned out so stinkin cute we want to make a bazillion of these and put them EVERYWHERE!!!! I love spring!!!!!

Pumpkins!!!!

Okay so here it is, I have this fetish (no joke) with pumpkins, most without the faces, my taste is more plain jane thank you very much!!! They bring me joy to look at, they calm me, kind of like a long hot bath with Tylenol PM running through you, they always put a smile on my face and make me giddy, no really!!!! SO I have found a way to feed my fetish all the while still being able to feed my kiddos, Priorities here, Priorities!!!
So when my sweet friend Amanda over at Dejavu crafts and I got together we tore my house apart looking for pumpkins that we could make by just copying some of the ones I already had and just adding our own little twist to them.
So off the the Cemetery (really) we went in search of old wood that my dad had lying around (no pun in tented hahaha) we found pallets and pallets that he said he would be more than willing to GIVE us, yes friends you read that right, these pumpkins didn't cost us a dime (seriously) and yes my dad owns the cemetery and it is the coolest thing in the world (no really it is) Geesh Gene you are awesome!!!!!
and low and behold we came up with these, here is the first one that I did and the bigger one and other little one are coming soon, I promise, I do have to keep a clean house while I craft to keep a happy hubby ;)
So more are coming, and pics of the other things I've been working on!!!! HAPPY FALL!!!

Pumpkins....

Here is the bigger ones that Amanda and I made!!! I love these!

Yep......I made this

So here is my new fall door decoration and my sweet sweet friends and I got together at my friend Amanda's house (yep we really know her AND hang out with her;) We loved every minute of this craft!!!! Even the 7 kids running around the whole time!!!! This was made by using a Styrofoam wreath from the dollar store and corn husks that you use to make tamales our of!!!!!so easy and so fun!!! and this is the final product!!! I want like 19 of these in my house!!! I can't wait to post pics of all the other fun stuff we have up our sleeves. Craftay, Craftay!!!!!!

What I've Been doing lately.....folding pages ;)

So this dear friend of mine that I (heart) so much made these adorable (logs, or Pumpkins) whatever your fancy!!!! all you do is get an old book from your local thrifty, mine was 30cents for the paperback and 75cents for hardback book and you rip the cover off!!!

Then you start folding all the pages inward to the seam of the book
Keep going till you have the whole book done, you need a book that has at least 500 pages so it looks full, I am doing one right now that has 2000 pages and oh my gosh it is adorable!!! Pics to come!



Finished project!!!! Put a stick in the top or glued on and make it a pumpkin!!! I will show you that one too!!! More pics to come, on the run but will show them later!!!!
