DIY Mason Lid Snowman Ornament

DIY Mason Lid Snowman Ornament

This last weekend I had a craft booth at a local Fire Station open House, in which it was a HUGE success! I'm still gleaming!

 So I was looking around "Imagination Station" aka Garage, trying to think of what I could use to make some ornaments. I thought I hafta have some type of ornament, it's a holiday open house! Then it dawned on me...

 I had a whole bag of mason jar lids leftover from our Wedding. The insides of the lid were white....perfect for a little snowman face! So I painted their cute little faces on!

Our Favorites from last week!

It's Begining to Look alot like Christmas

I don't know about everyone else but I'm getting in that JOLLY mood a little early this year!!

I was asked to bring some of my creations to an Open House at a Fire Station in a couple weeks. So of course my head started spinning... what could I bring? All of my creations have really been custom ordered/one of a kind. So I thought why not make some fun signs and spread that JOLLY spirit that has taken over my dome!

 I thought I would share some of these creations that has kept me busy this past weekend! Oh, and a few Holiday decorations that have begun to take over our home! HeeHee, because I do have quite a bit!!

Rockin The Antlers

Yesterday I was cruisin good ol Pinterest, creating a dream laundry room board. And that's because it's on my Winter "To Do" list! Well anyway I came across this picture..

What's the first thing that caught my eye... ANTLERS! How friggin cool are these?!! I commented on the pic and pinned it to my board. Next thing I know I'm getting a message from a friend of mine, "I've got some deer antlers you can have!!" WHAT??!! Oh heck yeah!! I picked them up last night!!

Imagination Station- AKA Garage

Well another area is getting re-vamped at our house. It's a work in progress still but I just wanted to share what we have got done so far!! Well, because I'm soo darn excited about it!

Earlier this Spring I scored some rustic galvanized tin from this old chicken coop! Oh, and 2 gorgeous barn doors! I have a couple ideas floating in my head as to what to do with them but haven't yet. I wanted the tin for this very project, the garage! It was another project I could vision before it was done. And I say this because my hubby doesn't see "my vision" until it's complete.

Rambo's Ammo Belt

DIY Rambo Ammo Belt

I finally convinced my son to be something other than a ninja for Halloween. And since my boys love movies that I grew up with, Goonies, Karate Kid, Jaws, ect.. He decided to be Rambo! I thought OK, I got this! We went to a Military surplus store that we have in our town. We got some old BDU's, and some dang near brand new boots!! 

If you have boys, you will know that it's all about the weapon the character has. In this case, had to have a gun and ammo belt. Gun...check! Ammo Belt...had to get creative.

My older son suggested black duck tape to make the strap GENIUS!

 Bullets...hummm..
I'm walking through the store, I'm looking at anything and everything that could be used as bullets. My original thought was PVC pipe cut down and painted black. Then...Ding Light Bulb!

Glow sticks!! 

That way everyone could see him (safety) and he had flare! LOL

I did cut the the little loop part off. (where you would loop your string through the glow stick)
