Thanksgiving Table Decor

I saw this floral arrangement advertised on the Internet and thought, I can do that.

It cost me about $18.00.

I had the pumpkin left over from Halloween.

I picked up the flowers from Sams Club for around $15

And the fresh floral foam for $2

Lots of color. And something that I don't need to store after the holiday is through.

Scrap Stool

I needed a little stool. I had just enough scrap pieces of 2x2 to make this cute, little one.

The angles are cut at 15 degrees. I used screws and wood glue to hold it all in place. It's sturdy enough for an adult to stand on it. Yes, I tried it out.

Then I gave it a nice sticky coat of this apple green spray paint. I think it turned out fun. Blog worthy I suppose.

Teacher Gift

It was Denton's last day of school yesterday. This was what I made his teachers as a thank you gift. I did two of them. I discovered the world of digital scrapbooking earlier this year. And now I can get enough of the colors and textures and thousands of ideas all the sites have to offer. This idea (teacher's pet) came via email from The Shabby Shoppe. And of course their sample is much more colorful than my final product. But it turned out ok. Even in the crude box that I built in 20 minutes.

Re-Use

I can't believe I actually posted something on this forsaken blog. Who knows when I will do something new again, but here it is.

I thought that I could use some creative juices to make something useful out of garbage. So with a little paper and hot glue, I re-used these empty containers. Pretty cute eh? And then when I am sick of them (or they fall apart) I won't feel bad about throwing them in the recycling can.
