More to come...I've definitely gone through some life changes, but everything seems to be falling into place.  Now if I could just retire...

It's Been Awhile!!!

Well hello everyone!  It's been quite a while since I've posted any updates. Sometimes life gets in the way of all the crafting I'd like to be doing!

Here are some new things I'm working on:

The wooden snowmen were actually old decorations that I found at the thrift store and I repurposed them into some lovely winter decorations.  Here's how they looked before:

Still working on a few of them...I love how they turned out!  Some of them are listed in my Etsy shop!

Some other good news...my son and I have started a countdown to our move to Colorado.  I'm so excited...this is my best friend Jennifer, who lives right next to Pike's Peak...We've been friends for almost 45 years...and I miss her so much!!! We're looking for condos/townhouses in the Colorado Springs area...so I'll only be about 20 minutes away from her!!

I'll try not to be away this long...stay safe everyone!

New Glass Shaker Snowmen!!!

So I was going through all my boxes of craft supplies and I came across a box that I'd been keeping my shaker bottles to make my snowmen.  Oh Lord...I didn't realize just how many I had...and yet, I keep buying more when I see a really cool shaped one...I add it to my supply.  So, I pulled out a bunch of the bottles, made the heads and started decorating.  Here's my little group of snowmen that are almost done and will be heading to my Etsy shop soon!!!

I really enjoy making these little guys and gals...each one has it's own personality. The only bad (not really "bad") thing is that there is literally glitter everywhere in my dining room!!! And with Thanksgiving less than 2 weeks away, I need to start cleaning off the table so that we can actually eat dinner there!!!

So stop by my shop...www.SimplytheGlitter.Etsy.com...pictures will be taken this weekend and then added to the rest of the jolly snowmen!!!

Happy Snow!

New Pieces

My creativity finally came back!  I've been in the process of trying to move my son out to Colorado...we went there in May to look for houses and he had a few interviews.  Now, next week, we're driving and moving him out there.  :(

While I was out there in May, my bestie took me thrifting...oh boy, did I get some awesome stuff!!!  Had to ship it back since it didn't all fit in my suitcase!!! I got some amazing bottles for my shaker snowmen...and picked up a ton of jewelry!!!

Here's some new things that will be in my Etsy shop soon!!!

I've decided I need a bigger house...I keep bringing more and more junk home!!!

Hope everyone has an awesome summer!

The Steps to Completing my Shaker Snowmen!!!

I love creating snowmen!  There, I said it!!!  I collect them as well.  But creating them means giving each one their own personality!  

The heads were just made for these...and were drying!  

Their personalities were starting to come out...lol.  As you can see, earmuffs, cowboy hat, feathers, pearls...

Here's the finished crew!  Now I have to name them and take pictures so they can make their way to the Etsy shop!

I just love them...don't you?!!!

Also....I'll be putting up a discount code on my Etsy shop for Mother's Day...keep an eye out!
