Move over Martha Stewart

Just kidding... Martha Stewart I am not, but give this girl a glue gun, some fabric, maybe some paint and we will have fun! So I discovered a whole new facet of blogging that I didn't know exsisted... home decor blogging!!! I am in heaven! Ideas without spending a bajillion dollars on decorating magazines! Can you say fabulous!!! In case you are interested, here is my new fav
http://nestingplacenc.blogspot.com/. Seriously if this woman lived near, she would be my new BFF! I am going to make her holiday garland and I may quite possibly just copy her whole house! Who said I am ever original?

While I am in decorating mode, here are a couple of nifty little projects that I am going to give as Christmas gifts this year. Now if you are on my gift list and you see this post, just act surprised when you open these :) Ok?


I am not sure what rock I have been living under, but I also did not know about Modge Podge!!! This is amazing stuff! I am going to be decopodging EVERYTHING! Just finished this little wall hanging for a friend's baby gift. (still need to add ribbon to it and I may go over it with the matte modge podge cause it's a little glossy)




And also while we are on the subject, I burned the heck out of my middle finger (yes the hubs thought this was hilarious as I was showing him my war wound) with hot glue! YOWWWW! Everytime I use the glue gun I say to myself, "This time, let's not burn yourself ok?" But wouldn't you know it on the last frame I stuck my finger right in the molten hot lava glue.... it was a moment that either the expletives were going to fly or it was so bad that you just had to give it all to Jesus! You're curious now aren't you? Is Jennifer cussin in her kitchen??? :) Not this time :) It was so bad all I could do was dance around and say " Oh Jesus please help me". My girls also thought this was hilarious. When I calmed down enough to look at my finger I couldn't tell if it was glue or skin that was flaking off my finger! If you have a weak stomach that was probably TMI. Sorry! Anyway turns out it was just glue, but I do have a lovely blister on the tip of said middle finger. If you care to see it I will show it to you...just don't be offended.
Ok, off to craft some more! Toodles!

I am so impressed. I really want to be more crafty, but my projects never come out so well. I saw some frames like the ones you made for like $80. That is crazy, and your's are way cuter. You have inspired me, maybe I'll try and make something wonderful later today.

Wow! I think you are fabulous. I don't get to "craft" as much as I used to but this makes me think....do I have anything pressing today that can't be pushed aside for a little hot glue and glitter?
