Snuck out with niece

 


Remember these dollar placemats I grabbed?



They were so pretty and a dollar


See?  Nice


Even some joy too!


Well a niece came over with my Christmas gift and we scooted for an hour to Joannes 
We made sure hubs was settled and had 2 phones

Our Joannes is 10 min away
So I found the 12x16 forms

Plus niece had coupons saving me enough to buy her 3 books

Also happy birthday Gram in Heaven

Be still my heart ❤

She goes Auntie you know how to do everything

Now to find time to sew em up

Slate coasters


I tried to paint a pair of cardinals on slate coasters

Earlier in the year 
At Wal-Mart I found one package of 2 coasters
And grabbed them





Here is the male cardinal



The pair 
I need to tweak my painting a little but not too bad
I wish I had more coasters

Need to find a large slate and paint up something I think sis in law would like 

Do you paint and have other crafty HOBBIES?

Other ideas


Christmas cards
What if I make a joy banner using a snowflake or dresden o
Whole new ballgame right?




So far tried making hen magnets, cardinal magnet and a santa rock to hide

Not too bad

Onto the slate maybe next?

The rock had the perfect beard texture

I want to place it where people walking will find and smile
Maybe near our mail room

A smile is always a great 🎁
