Sugar Plum and Gum Drop Garland

I'm back from my Thanksgiving vacation. I ate alot of good food and gained alot of bad weight. But I have been busy making new items  for Holly Raleigh like the above Gumdrop Garland and below my Sugar Plum Garland.

Sorry about the photos they're a tad blurry. I'm moving so fast these days everything is a blur including my photos.  :)

MY MAN THURSDAY!

Aidan Quinn. I love this guy.

Here are some of his movies that I really liked.

Two New Christmas Dress Garland

I thought I would share what I am working on. I believe these will be available at Munchkin Designs inside Bliss Bake Shop soon.

Sorry the photos are so bad we are having a really bad wind and rain storm which lets in very little light. Today has felt like 4:30 all day long. But I love the wind and rain. So very Emily Bronte.

What's A Girl To Do With . . .

cotton balls, glue, glitter, a paper cone, misc. faux gum drops, and a hot glue gun?

Well, make a cotton ball tree of course. Duh!

These just make me happy.

Here's how to put some joy in your life.

Round up your supplies:

Paper cone

glitter

craft glue

old paint brush

cotton balls

fire up the hot glue gun and you're off!

Start at the bottom of the cone and carefully apply the hot glue three cotton ball spaces at a time.

Next apply cotton balls and press the balls as you go. Keep this up for the entire cone. Then dap a bunch of craft glue on wherever you feel like it. Sprinkle glitter over the glue and shake of extra glitter. Let that dry.

Next I  hot glued some, faux gum drops I had tucked away in a drawer, around the tree. You can hot glue buttons or small pom poms, or old tiny ornaments wherever you think they will look good.

Shop For Makenzie Table

We had a great time at Shop For Makenzie. Now I will be working on a ton more swell stuff. Big sellers today were, dress garlands, tags, Santa's Own Magic Reindeer Feed, and tea stained gift card holders.

My little fingers will be flying to restock. I have been asked to put some of my items in a store here in the Portland area  Munchkin Designs She will be opening her shop inside Bliss Bake Shop

Can not wait.

Cheers!
