THE LETTERED...I made THIS and THAT and THESE and THOSE



It's been a busy weekend.  All 4 kids were in a fashion show this weekend.





Then the crafting began.


I have been working on all kinds of projects this weekend and started getting a little decorating done.
 
While we were in Missouri, I stopped in at this one store.  It is a huge freight recovery store-if you see something you want you better get it, because it may not be there the next day.

I saw a package of these clear numbered rubber stamps for $2.50.  They normally run about $12.00 :

  I just LOVE numbered and lettered things.
I pulled them out and made some numbered coasters. 
Then I made THE  LETTERED COASTERS






Have you ever worked with this sandable paper?
It is pretty cool.
I used it for
THE NUMBERED COASTERS
Then I worked on some plates.

These were just plain glass plates but I added our last name initial with the fleur-de-lis and leaf pattern.

I scuffed it up because I wanted it to look aged.

I scuffed up the plate as well..

I will show the completion of these this week.


Then I made these glass vases.
I've seen them all over the place

 --I got everything from The Dollar Store and glued together the vase piece and the candle obra with my Gorilla Glue.  They are already being used for decorations and I will show you the rest of this project on Wed for the Celebrate the Holidays party.

Then I made some
chenille powder pink  
and medium pink 
candy canes
for our  
PINK tree
--I can not wait to show it to you--.


It is so
PRECIOUS

My sweet friend Roeshel needs everyone's helping voting for her project every day--she is a finalist in a makeover project with True Value--

    Wow! You sure do keep busy! Superwoman! I don't have anything to share today - I didn't actually finish any of my projects...so creativity all over the place but nothing done. :(

    I look forward to see everyone else's projects though!

    Your plates look so pretty! Great job!

    Thanks so much for sharing my DIY Drama with your readers. I am so thankful for each vote!

    Have a great week Cheri!

    I love the everything you did but I especially like the plates. Did you have to use a special ink for the plates? Can you wash it?

    You've sure been a creative little busy bee Cheri! I am just now realizing you live in Naples. My folks own a condo there and we've been down several times. Such a beautiful place! They'll be wintering there again, so maybe I'll get myself down there and we can have coffee :)

    Hi, Cheri: I love lettered and numbered things too. These coasters are great gifts.
    I have a question about the tool you used to seal off your ribbon from fraying in the craft tutorial. Is that just a wood burning tool? After your tutorial I am now becoming a tassel queen and sealing off ribbon with a tiny strip of Elmer's takes way too long!
    You can reply in my comments or e_bogardus AT hotmail

    Thanks, and have a great Thanksgiving!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE reading each and every comment. Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit. I wish I could sit and chat with each of you face to face, sipping on an ice cold lemonade (in the hotter months) or a nice hot cup of coffee (in the colder months), getting to know each other but this is fun too.
