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 Additions to Etsy Shop

I have been creating like a crazy woman lately...I even squeeze in a few glues or paints before I leave for work in the morning ;)

Here's some of the things I've been working on and have just listed on my Etsy site:

These are made from green vintage wooden spools.  

I love how they turned out! 

This was also a vintage wooden spool...love the snowman's expression!

This church is made out of ceramic...first time I've ever worked with that...I think it turned out pretty!

I want to remind everyone that this Saturday is the craft show at Bain Manor in Kenosha.  Here's the ad with some information:

I dropped off several houses, snowmen and churches, as well as some of my jewelry, so be sure to stop in and say hi to Joy and Renee.

Happy November!!!
