12 Months Of Christmas - January 25th

I am sure many of you are thinking

"REALLY!?!?"

It feels like we just did the whole Christmas thing.

It seems that lovely time of the year goes at the speed of light,

and my creative spirit feels let down when it's over.

So why not make 2019 the year

 to carve out one day each month to play with my Christmas craft stash?

I can't think of any good reason not to.

The plan is to share on the 25th every month.

I may actually get my cards made before December 20th this year.

Merry hugs,

Kim

Stash To Treasure Saturday

Welcome to

Stash To Treasure Saturday,

where some sad, forgotten,

and unloved bits and pieces 

are given a beauty makeover

and a new life.

This week's abandoned hidden treasure

comes from a Goodwill score.

I purchased 2 dozen wood frames

which had been used as table markers

and then donated to the store.

It took a good sanding to prep the frame for paint.

I used black chalk paint,

followed by a light dry brush application of white chalk paint.

I added paper and a gingham ribbon to complete.

(FYI: Merry Christmas die - Tim Holtz)

Remember,

it's Shop Small Saturday,

and I am running an Etsy Cyber Sale

in both shops

(button links are at the top of my right sidebar).

Merry Hugs,

Kim

Quick Hello And A Share

Three birthday cards for 2 nephews and a niece.

I am madly in love with these new paper dolls

from Tim Holtz!

I kid you not,

they are so much fun,

and at an awesome price.

(not a paid spokesperson, just a fan)

Happy Weekend!

hugs,

Kim
