Orange you Glad it's Summer

Yet another post starting with this is Pinterest inspired....but GOSH I just love PINTEREST!!!  Any whoooooo....I saw this idea for teachers & though the grandbabies would just love these!!!  So I got the link from pinterest (sorry cannot even remember where now) to print of the labels & I went from there....had fun finding orange flavored items to add to these..and of course I had to personalize them!

 The orange flavored goodies ...

 The gift bags with the label & wooden alpha beads (purchased at WalMart)

 All ready for some special little people in our lives!

 Look at those SMILES!!!  I also found some BIG coloring books to put in there for them...a great way to end the day on Mackinac Island.

Gift Giving =)

Happy Crafting.....

Well that BIG day is almost here!!!  I am finally getting caught up....I made these today for some pretty special people in my life!  I sure hope they love love love them like I do.  I got the idea for these from Pinterest (my new obsession)...anyone who knows me, knows I am VINYL OBSESSED!!!  I purchase all of my vinyl from www.expressionsvinyl.com they have great products & super fast shipping!

Merry Christmas to you & yours from the Crafty Queen household!

Hard to tell in this photo but the Red vinyl is actually metallic

 Put some bling in the background of this one!

 Bling in the background of this one too!!!  The snowflakes are actually pop dotted!

30 days of gift giving day 6

Hello Thank you so much Jill for asking me to participate in your 30 days of gift giving blog....if you came from
www.thescrapoholic.blogspot.com/ you are at the right place...I am day 6...

I have recently become addicted to Pinterest.....man oh man there are so many great gift giving, home decor ideas.  So my project I copied from....
www.adiamondinthestuff.blogspot.com/2011/08/fridge-picture-gallery-winner.html
To me this was such an awesome idea & would make a wonderful gift....who would not love a perpetual calendar??

So off to the resale store I went to see if I could get some cheap frames, then I purchased some spray paint, ordered my calendar from Snapfish to my local Meijer to pick up the next day....

 I had to play around with different magnets...I bought these at Menards they are heavy duty....I also had to play around with the glass in the frame...the original glass that I bought with this frame was heavy...so I went to the dollar store bought another 11x14 frame & switched out the glass.  My refrigerator has a texture on the front of it (fingerprint free) and it took a little playing around but I finally got it to work.  When you go to A diamond in the stuff blog you will find a link that will take you to the person who created the calendar & she has different background colors to choose from.  I know that I will be making these for some special people in my life.

Thank you for stopping bye...would love it if you became a new follower!  I will be returning on the 29th of November with another gift!  Have a great day =)
