Last Minute Gift Idea

A {Relaxing Neck Pillow} I found it at: {One Pretty Thing} Although it's taken me longer than it took her, it is an easy project. I had to figure out a step. I know some basic sewing, so that is why I think it took me longer to do this. But I am going to start on another one. I used material I had on hand and stuffing from making my {Mumblina} for my grandchild one year. Second pillow shouldn't take as long. Hope your enjoying the holidays!!

Burned Out Bulbs

~

If you have any burned out outdoor Christmas light bulbs how about turning them into an ornament. I used puffy paint to make a design and added glitter. Let dry before attaching a ribbon or thread to hang. I will either attach blue thread around the skrew part or ribbon so I can hang it. Reinforce ribbon or thread with glue. Let dry before you hang it. You can use glue to make a design and sprinkle glitter over it. Let dry before use. If you had enough of them your could make a garland and hang it across your windows or where ever you choose. Give the ornaments as gifts like I did this {Snowman} Orna-

ment two years ago using puffy paint, glitter and mod podge. You could also attach it to a gift even. {God Bless & Happy Holiday's!!!} PS. Wouldn't it be cute to paint a black belt and fur down the middle of a red bulb for a Santa suit? Even put glitter on the red part of the bulb or the fur and belt. Would love to see what you come up with!!

A Charlie Tree

Lots of limbs down on the ground. I've put some in a pitcher with baby's breath that dmil grew in her yard, made a wreath and added a few extra pine cones and baby's breath, and I made this Charlie Tree by putting greenery inside a vase and sticking in a limb I found on the ground on one of my daily walks. Added a red bell I bought sec- ondhand and some baby's breath. So simple to do. {God Bless You!!!}

Underside of Lid

Here is the underside of that other lid I told you about in the following blog entry, {Stenciled Pickle Jar}. I like the finished look much better. {Sticky Situation} {Pray 4}

Sticky Situation

If you run out of tape when wrapping gifts, you could use a glue stick, stickers, even those stickers you get from junk mail and how about using your address labels. {Pray 4} {Sticky Situations} ~ Betsy Schmitt
