Another Secret Pal Gift- Commissioned
My friend asked me to make a Christmas wreath for her to give her secret pal. Since I am totally into yarn wreaths right now, I thought this was a perfect excuse to hone in my mad yarn skills. It turned out pretty festive, classic, and still in the simplistic fashion. I was pleased. I do hope that my friend's secret pal loves it as well.
Since I didn't finish it until about 10:30pm, and I plan to hand it off tomorrow...I had to take pic's in a dark house. Sorry for the quality.

Turkey for the Turkeys
Today was my Sunday to teach Sunday School at church to a toddler group. Since the attention span is low, the actual "lesson" doesn't really last that long. I usually like to have some kind of art or craft to get them involved in, and usually I keep it seasonal. Having said ALL of that...today we made turkey pins, and THEY ...WERE...CUTE! We all loved them; me and the kids. Cash is in the class, and he decided that we should keep them to wear on Thursday. Awww, melts my heart when I get Cash excited about crafts.
Cute + Easy = AWESOME
I found the idea in Disney Family Fun November issue. In the magazine, they used cereal boxes, but being the felt lover that I am...well, you get it.
The "How To"
-Start by tracing four small, round objects, such as a jar lid, a bottle of tacky glue, a dime, and a quarter, onto your felt (or cereal boxes.) My circles range in size from 5/8 in to 2 in.
-Cut out circles.
-Snip tail feathers into the largest circle, as shown.
-Cut one of the medium circles in half for wings.
-Use a hole punch to create tiny circles for eyes (I did mine free hand, and I dont recommend it...kind of makes the turkey look a bit crazy.)
-Cut a triangular beak from yellow and a tiny half-circle from red for the snood. (NOT pictured. I forgot this part. Opps.)
-Stack and adhere the pieces with tacky glue.
-Hot glue a pin on the back.
Done. Turkey for a little turkey. (lovingly call the boys turkeys.)

Sneak Peak Day 3- Tid Bits for the Office or Home
Let's see.... I am going to break up the monotony of multiple days with hair accessories by giving you a day of goodies for the office. Reeeally, you could use this stuff anywhere...home or work. They are fun, bright, and cute! These would be another great idea for stocking stuffers, or small gifts for co-workers or secret pals..
These dolled up clothes pins have super strong magnets on the back. Perfect for filing cabinets, white boards, memo boards,lockers, and fridges. They would also be fun on top of a wrapped gift holding a tag, OR use them to clip your chips, hang up delicates....you can even turn them upside down for an easy photo frame for your desk.
Here is an easy, yet personable gift. These initial bookmarks are perfect for avid readers of all ages, and are the perfect size.
Another set of bookmarks.
Sassy tacks that can brighten up any cork board! Whether using these at home, school, or the office...tacks have never been so fun! :)
More colorful alternatives for your cork board.

Sneak Peak for Holiday Open House!
Happy Monday to everyone! It's going to be a busy and exciting week around here, and I will tell you why...this weekend is my HOLIDAY OPEN HOUSE! YAY! I am very, very psyched about this for a couple of reasons. First of all, we are going to have 5 different vendors, and Jewel Kade is one of them. I can't wait to introduce Jewel Kade Jewelry to more people here in Chattanooga! Second, one of those five vendors is going to be....Paper Wings Studio. Yes, I am going to have a table selling my little handmade goodies for the first time. I am nervous, and giddy with excitement at the same time. I would absolutely appreciate all of you coming out to support this endeavor, and I am even going to give you some incentives...
