    What’s On My Crafting Table Today……….

    Hello Little Peanuts. If you are new here WELCOME! If you’ve been around awhile you know that I am a bit (pfttttt A LOT) of a procrastinator.

    Winter Preparedness Mountain Style

    After the craft room clean-up that I posted about yesterday. I thought for sure that I would immediately be creating masterpieces right and left. I was WRONG!!!

  • Let's make a Dead and Breakfast sign

    Dead And Breakfast DONE!! Baby DONE!!

    Finally finished my Lakeside Catalog dupe of their Dead and Breakfast sign. My sign is very large. Much larger than the Lakeside one. To read the story of WHY it’s so big check out this post: Dead and Breakfast My Way   After all my colors and fonts were chosen (Thank you, everyone that voted for the colors. It was a huge help!) The color I went with was gold. Unfortunately, I ran out of the gold vinyl before I got to the spiderwebs. UGH!! So, I cut them out in silver. Oh Nooooooooo…. that looked horrible.
