I made this cute tree lot to give my dad for Christmas. I bought my supplies at Hobby Lobby. I had seen an idea like this on Pinterest, but there were no instructions on how to do it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got a box from a grocery store and cut my foam to fit it. I googled how to fold a tree out of money and found a tutorial on YouTube. I wasnt sure how to get them in the lot so I used a razor knife and cut lines and pushed the trees into them. That worked for the most part. I took skewers and cut them to the height I wanted to string the lights from. I alternated lights and sequins. I loved how it turned out. It took me a long time to put it together but I was in love. I made it a couple of weeks before Christmas and I noticed the trees started to all lean forward. I am not sure how to fix that but I might try taping them on the back to hold the folds closed. That might help? Not sure</div>

I guess it has been a minute since I have posted on this blog. It is graduation time next week and I have been working on gifts. I used <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-e-yG1WUsU">this tutorial</a> on You Tube to make money roses. I am pleased with how mine turned out. I had a florist arrange them in a vase for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The lighting wasn't the best, but you get the idea.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have made money roses before but this was the first time I have used this tutorial to make them. I have also made the cap and gown for the bottle before as well. You can find instructions for this on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/148478118937611132/">Pinterest</a></div>

I found the instructions on how to make these books on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/148478118942274439/">Pinterest</a>. (or you can find it directly <a href="http://www.betterafter.net/2014/10/altered-halloween-books-tutorial-new-and-improved.html">here</a>). I thought it would make a cute Halloween decoration, but I also wanted to make it into a scrapbook so you could actually look through the book. I divided my book into sections for how many pages I wanted in my book. I paper clipped the sections together.I kept the first and last page of each section and tore out the middle pages, then I glued the front and back page of each section together to form one page. This is my end result.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided I would try the spiderweb for my cover. I just made the spider web out of hot glue. I used stickers for my letters but they probably weren't thick enough. I would probably use thicker letters because when I highlighted the high spots with the metallic paint, I could not get just the letters to highlight. I had to paint over them and it was kind of hard to see their outline. Overall, I like the book.</div>

I wanted to give money for a wedding gift and was trying to think of a cute way to give it. I remembered I had purchased the pattern to make this <a href="http://www.confessionsofastampingaddict.com/2011/05/weddinganniversary-convertible-gift.html">car gift card holder</a> and thought it would be perfect to hold money too.</div>

I saw a link to the pattern to make <a href="http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/crocheting/home-decor/daisy-coaster/46475?ext=FB_CC_PP_Registrations_Free_Pattern_46475_20150321_1800&utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Social%20Engagement&utm_campaign=Crocheting%20Club-Registrations&initialPage=true">these coasters</a> on Facebook. I thought I would give them a try. My first one I followed the pattern exactly, but it left a hole in the middle of the flower. I made the second one but I started with a magic ring instead of how her directions had me start it and no hole in the center.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
They were easy to make and I like them. My husband on the other hand wasn't so sure about them. He didn't think people would know that they were coasters and he wondered if anyone would use them. Tell me your thoughts. Would you know? What is a cute way to tell someone it's a coaster if you gave as a gift? Would you use them if you got them?</div>

I think I am obsessed with crocheted animals. I think they are so cute. This pattern is by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/amorningcupofjocreations">A Morning Cup of Jo</a> and its really easy...until you assemble. Like the <a href="http://twinsand2boys.blogspot.com/2014/06/crochet-reindeer.html">reindeer</a> I made earlier, I struggle a little to put it all together. Ive gotta figure out an easier way. But, despite my struggle, I love the bunny. Cute huh?</div>

I like to try things I find on Pinterest. I found an idea for cleaning grout. I've found several ideas, but this one was easy as far as I could just buy it and use it...didn't have to mix things, etc. It worked really good. It was time consuming but I am happy with the results. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You get Clorox with bleach toilet bowl cleaner and clean your grout with it. I have it pinned on my <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/148478118940863206/">Pinterest</a> if you want to save it.</div>

I found these on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/mycomputerismycanvas">ETSY</a>. You purchase a download and it gives you everything but the candy and cellophane to make these. So easy and cute!

Homecoming is coming up. I paper pieced the owl on here. I told him to write "GUESS 'HOO' WANTS TO TAKE YOU TO HOMECOMING". He didn't want to leave the W off. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He put the letters of the alphabet in some balloons. The letters that spell his name he put in a different color. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a little bit smaller. Each reindeer has its own personality. I used thicker yarn (for both) than the pattern calls for and a bigger crochet hook. (I used a F crochet hook and wool weight yarn). He is all single crochet with increase and decrease stitches. Not too hard. The front of the book shows you how to do these stitches as well as a magic ring, which you use to start every part of him. The finishing instructions are minimal so it was trial and error for me since I've never made amigurumi before. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can get the pattern for just the reindeer without purchasing the book <a href="http://www.amigurumipatterns.net/shop/Pii_Chii/Rudy-the-reindeer/">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is what the original reindeer looks like. I changed the colors for mine.</div>

I made flower cookies for a Mother's Day gift for the ladies I visit teach.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's how I made them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My supplies. Any flower shaped cookie will do. This was what was available to me locally.</div>

Im a little OCD so I like the same color on both sides, but you can do it however you like.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There were 43 cookies in the bag. I made 40 of them, 10 for each lady I visit.</div>

Red and White is the last dance of the school year here. Since it was close to Easter when my son asked, we decided to go with an Easter theme:</div>

Here's what I'm working on for Easter. I found this <a href="http://stampin-n-stuff.blogspot.com/2012/03/easter-carrot-video-tutorial.html">VIDEO TUTORIAL</a> on how to make them. I changed the measurement of the carrot to be 4 inches by 5 inches, just so I could get more out of a 12x12 piece of paper. (I got 6 out of one piece) I did the green the same size as she did. I found the <a href="http://www.bakerella.com/images/2010/04/tags-easter.pdf">BUNNY TAGS</a> online and so my punches are bigger than what she used also. Cute huh? I put 10 mini Cadbury eggs in each of them. One bag made 8 carrots.</div>

I found these cute test tubes at Sams Club with gum already in them. I made the cards to go with them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut the card 3.5 inches by 8.5 inches. I scored at 3.5 inches, 4.25 inches and 5 inches. Fold the card in half (on 4.25 inch score line) and measure up an inch from each side then cut to score line to make the opening for the test tube. I think they turned out cute.</div>
