So, blogging community, get out there and find some deals! Happy crafting!

If I NEED it, I CUTIFY it!

So, I NEEDed new oven covers. But everywhere I turned, there just weren't any that were cute enough for me. I know, I'm difficult...

So, what is a girl to do? MAKE THEM HERSELF! Come on, ladies! We're all crafty! If we need something "cutiefied" (new word), then who are we to stand in the way of crafting progress?!

Here's all I did: I bought WHITE oven covers. I cut out circles using my circle scissor plus thingy from two different green patterned papers (my retro oven and stove are a nice green...), faux mod podged them to the covers, and voila! Here is the final product! I don't mean to toot my own horn, but they turned out stinkin' cute!

SO...here's to all of the cutiefying we can do in the world! Who's with me?! That's right--all of you!!!!! I hope you take the time today to cutiefy something in your world! Happy crafting!

Well if there's Christmas in July...

...and Thanksgiving daily, then I declare it to be Halloween in June! Here's why:

I had these two marshmallow fluff jars sitting in a cupboard, waiting to be "used." For years. And years...about 4 to be exact! So, as I was cleaning out that cupboard, I gave myself an ultimatum: USE 'EM OR LOSE 'EM!

Here's the final (?) product. All I did was take white tissue paper and brayer it orange, tear it into pieces and faux mod podge it to the jars.


Then, I drew and cut out the faces and adhered them to the jar.


They needed the lids, so I painted them green.


Here's the thing, should I use some toilet paper rolls to create stems?! If so, HOW?! Please help me! Comments and suggestions are very welcome today!!! Happy sharing!!!
