Had a wonderful weekend - well, 24 hours! Went to Midway and attended the "SWISS DAYS CELEBRATION!" Oh my goodness - so many things to see - it was almost overwhelming! Had a great time with great friends! Got lots if ideas for Christmas and crafts and home decor! My head is spinning! NOW, I just need some TIME OK a LOT of time and a LOT of money so I can do all that I want to do! Can't wait to start on some projects though!
Here is my first Halloween project for the season! So excited!
In the "somewhat" dark....
In the light....
Bought the lantern from IKEA - $15
Picked up ribbon from Taiwan Imports (2 kinds - 5 yards each)
And fillers from the local craft store -
It's amazing how quickly the "FILLERS" can add up-
So, suggestion....
Watch for items to go on sale
Look for things at a dollar store
Give yourself time to pick up things when you can use a 40% off coupon....
I didn't plan very well - it was kind of a last minute decision to "CRAFT" while at our adventure to Midway - but - in the end - it all worked out...
I also built everything around and on the "bow" so I can remove the bow and change it to fit the "season" - watch for my FALL - THANKSGIVING bow to follow soon - as well as
my Christmas and Snowflake shortly after that....
Or as soon as I can muster up some energy!
(Oh-my favorite thing - THE HAT! SO CUTE! - You must have a hat!)
Happy Haunting!
Clarification: this was NOT a Swiss Day item - it was just an idea I had that I wanted to do - so I hurried to gather the stuff so we could all make one on our excursion! - So no worries - I didn't steal the idea from anyone at Swiss Days - at least not to my knowledge.... didn't see anything like it at all....
