Rusty Old Tin

Good morning Chickadees!!
Here are a few ideas of things to make with vintage goodies!!
I made these for a friend as a happy!!!
Johns grandpa had given me a few of these old tobacco tins and
I altered it to be a flower, note, or whatever holder!!
I added vintage Chandler crystals, vintage lace and a vintage flower!
Wrapped the top with burlap twine and stuffed full with flowers!!
Every girl loves pins to dress up a plain shirt!
Here is one I made from layered silk flowers and a silhouette of a rose pendant!
This little vintage tin got made into a initial name pin!
I added a scrabble title to the middle and vintage flowers adorned the side!!!
I love making new things from the old treasures!
I cant wait to find some more old rusty goodies!
Hope you have a wonderful day looks like mine is full of rain!
big hugs
toodles ♥

Where are you Christmas?!!

Hello there!! I AM SO ready for Christmas this year!! I have a couple craft shows and an open house where I will be selling my burlap door hangings and along with other Christmas things! To get more in the spirit of giving I made these cards for a fundraiser! They made a big $50 so I am so happy to of been blessed with the talent to make things and be able to bless someone who needs the money with my talent! I have found that people love getting homemade things that I come up with! It comes from my heart and it makes that person just feel more special! which who doesn't want to feel more special!!!
I already have some gifts bought through out the year! I find something I snatch it up and like a squirrel I hide those things away till its Christmas time!!
I also said I had some news to tell yall!! Well John and I are going tomorrow to talk to a VA loan person and were starting the process of buying our first actual Home!! I am sooo EXCITED I cant even contain myself haha and those of yall that know me Know that its been a challenge for us since the hurricane but our love for each other is AWESOME and we are finally being blessed with the ability to purchase a home! With that being said I am also so nervous lol
John I love you but your just not handy and I don't blame you some people have that gift and some not so much! So I am nervous for what we can afford and what kind of house our money will buy us. lol so I might be having pics posted of me just decorating or me wanting to pull my hair out from DIY repairs to a home and decorating in between my balding hahaha
Just please pray that God leads us to where we are suppose to be which I know he will but pray that we follow that path! So what are yalls creations for Christmas this year? I am going to try and be a homemade person this Christmas since money will probably be slim due to buying a home so I need some ideas!!!
Anywho I am off to create some things! Have a Blessed and Awesome day!!
