Throwback to "Baa" Humbug

~OrnaMENTAL Status~
  • Pro-procrastination
  • Actually opened the craft box...then closed it

Nothing like a good Christmas Pun! Throwback to a Christmas long, long ago (2007) when my first set of Christmas Sheep made their debut.  I think I made these while watching an epic Crab Fishing marathon on tv haha. Ahh, memories.

Ewe-ltide Greetings / Yultide Bleatings / Fleece on Earth / Fleece Navidad

Any other pun ideas are MOST welcome! Puns are my life-force (well, that and coffee...and mebbe a wee bit of liquor, ha!).

Motivation Monday

Only 160 days until Christmas, people!!! Must...Get...Motivated...

I've had my container of foamy goodness looking at me for some time now, but I need to bust a move. In 2014 my inspiration was the Zombie Gingerbread Man(slaughter), while 2015 was "Fleece Navidad," reindeer and snowmen. Hmm...what will inspire me for Christmas 2016. Maybe Santa Claus? Piggies?

Springtime pretties

Hello! Well, Valentine's Day came and went without so much as a paper heart, so I cured my craft guilt by making these pretty butterflies to decorate my office window. They are really easy to make (see video link below).

The only thing I did differently to the video was to secure the butterfly "nose" in place with the glue gun.




Supplies used:
  • Colorful construction paper (stolen from my daughter's stash)
  • Scissors
  • Glue gun
