Gifted
My very gifted friend Dawn called for a haircut appointment and before I even gave her a time I said I needed something from her. My kids gave me a cell phone for Christmas and I needed a cover for it.
When she came for hair appointment she brought this cute cover she had made.

Anxious for Spring!
I've been wanting to check out a Home Goods store for awhile now but it was 30 minutes beyond where we usually shop. That makes it about 2 hours away. I had a Dr appointment on Tues. and decided to go. It was worth the drive just for this.

Santa Boxes
The last 2 boxes I made were for a niece and nephew with kids. They are all about Santa.

That's the end of my 'boxes'. I would love to make more for sale but shipping would be a problem. I have thought of selling them as a kit, with just the items needed to fill one. What do you think of that idea? I would love some feedback.

Here are 3 more 'boxes' that I made for Christmas presents. I like to mix the old with the new.

I have 2 more to show you tomorrow. Keep in mind that all I bought at the store was the paper filler. Everything else was in my stash or found at household sales.

Special Project
I went to a lot of sales this past summer and fall that I didn't talk about because I was buying items for a special Christmas project. I use boxes and drawers filled with stuff in my decorating and I decided to make them for my family. I picked up any small item I might be able to use. I was also looking for 'boxes'. I found some in basements full of screws and stuff but I would ask to buy just the box. I used batting to cover the filler.

These were really fun to make. I also had a lot of fun searching for items to use. I made 7 in all so come back tomorrow for more!

Scrabble
My daughter, daughter-in-law and I try to do a craft every Christmas and this is what we did this year.
I asked a couple girlfriends that do garage sales to be on the lookout for old Scrabble games. We found them for $2.00 to 25 cents. My son tore apart some pallets that were thrown away at work and my son-in-law cut them into pieces.

We used watered down paint for stain and scrap paper or cloth ribbon for the backgrounds.

The Announcement!
I kept hearing comments that you wanted to go junkin' with me so I decided to take you along!
