SO Overdue!

I have been making things off and on lately but haven't posted. I only have a few pictures today and will add more hopefully soon. Enjoy these!


This is made from Scrabble tiles. I have made several others as gifts that said things like a new baby's name, "Friends", "Hope", "Family"  etc. I can make it say anything as long as it fits, in any color. Let me know if you would like to order one. They are $8.00 and would be a great gift.





I added this stamp to a plain white plate in permanent white ink and will use it for a gift with come cookies or something. I have tons of stamps and themes that could go on dishes....the ideas are endless!!!



Ok, this is my favorite thing and an idea that is about 5 years in the making! Years ago I found a fallen aspen tree and made Josh bring it home for me. It has been either in our basement or backyard ever since. A few weeks ago my stepdad Larry helped me cut in into pieces and drill holes in each one for tea lights. Since them I have worked on sanding each piece until it is satiny smooth. I am then adding some kind of ribbon or decoration to each. These are just the first two. I have about 20 more of various sizes. I want to decorate some for fall and some for Christmas. I would love to decorate these with certain types of ribbons or elements for you! They would look awesome in groups of two or three! Aspen wood is very light - in color and in weight. I have also seen candle holders similar to these selling in mountain towns up here for about $30 - way to pricey!  Another idea would be to monogram them... Please let me know if you have an idea and would be interested in some for Christmas gifts. These are just the first two that I finished and took pictures of.

Thanks! Shiloh
