It's about time I got to posting the pumpkin-palooza that took over in September, well, that and the football-palooza as well. But right after I post this one, the Halloween pics will be up. Enjoy!
Isn't it amazing that OSU's colors go perfectly with the Fall season?!

Being "iced" in today with school closed, I took the opportunity to get crackin' on the kiddo's class Valentine's. Look how cute!

It hit me: I could make leg warmers and embellish a plain cardigan. Here is the how-to:
For Leg Warmers:Cut the sleeves off at the seams
I used elastic ruffle trim for the tops of the leg warmers. Cut a straight line across where the sleeve was attached, to square Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02824843798308964342noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469921690887988581.post-29248818194491671872011-01-13T15:28:00.000-08:002011-01-13T15:28:35.407-08:00Valentine TablescapeEnjoy!

This is not by any means, a new creation for all of us devoted craft blog followers. It is however, a project that I finally got around to doing. I found a clearance open back frame at Hobby Lobby and originally thought I would use it somewhere in the house as decor, not functionally as an earring display. I enlisted the help (and expertise) of the husband and with a little hot glue Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02824843798308964342noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469921690887988581.post-33662721146620995592011-01-10T17:15:00.000-08:002011-01-10T17:15:47.423-08:00Love is in the air, and on the mantle!The mantle looked so lonely after the Christmas decorations were put away, that I had to get a jump start on Valentine's. Mirror from Kirkland's; open back frame, wreath, and angel from Michael's. "XOXO" sign made from Dollar Tree black frames and Walmart red floral dept. stones hot glued to scrapbook paper.
The Valentine's tablescapes will be coming up later this week.

Let's just say, I don't need to do another one anytime soon. It turned out really cute, but was quite time consuming. I used 6 boxes of ornaments from the dollar store, hot glue, a white styrofoam cone, and LOTS of patience, all for a total total cost of $10.

All you need is some fallen branches, a bucket or pail, and some hanging tags. I added in clearance branches from Michael's Fall floral department. The kids have really enjoyed writing their "I am thankful for...." tags. It is such a great reminder of the reason for this season.
