A girlfriends daughter just had her two year birthday. So my friend Kate Kiehl and I decided to make a keepsake box as a gift. We found pictures of little Jolie and I went to work decoupaging away. I am going to make these for more of my friends is was so much fun and it was a whimsical way for me to play with textures and just enjoy crafting!
This year I decided to give out homemade treats to friends and family for Christmas and like a lot of people this year- we are on a budget. So I came up with a fun idea for packaging that is VERY inexpensive. Cookie Tins and bags can get pretty expensive when you are trying to give lots of gifts out- so with cost in mind I thought of a great cheap idea for bags, in the isle with plastic wrap and tin foil there are packages of 100 brown lunch sacks for $2.39 - so then I think - how can we make these look good - Got it - Stamps. |
| The tree I painted be fore we found out we were having a boy, now that we know the sex I may add some more boyish things to it- aven't decided yet possibly his name in the tree trunk when Jason and I finally agree on one ! |

| Tessa seems to approve ! |

| Using furniture we already had I refinished the pieces to match the crib I envision in my head. |
What a great idea ! Great in Portland to keep the rain from diluting the beer - Add yeast to the beer to be more effective
