Box Clever...

I blame Cate...
it's all her fault!
She says she's going to have a crafty crafterton day
and then it happens:
the smell of the glue {white glue people, not airplane glue...
that was before my time!}
the sound of the scissors...
the feel of the GGG...{ouch!}
I turn into Rainman, the OCD crafter!
I CANNOT STOP!

I had another package of those little white match boxes
and I was gonna use them!




'How cute', thought Raymond, 'would they look all over a little tree??!!'
{clothes pins give you more placement control than ribbons or
twine... sage advice from the OCD Crafter's Book Of Meticulously
Placed & Positioned Crafts...sadly, it's no longer in print. ;}






The vintage combined with the faux vintage...fintage?





This hand-stamped muslin just makes my heart sing...fa la la la la la la la la!





This one got the full GGG...had to...I was been going through withdrawls!






You can't really tell, but this one is actually covered in a glassine bag...
which demonstrates that subtlety just does not work for me! But that
tiny tree is the bomb!






This was an absolute case of premeditated glittering! As soon as I saw this
little dress form I knew I would have to do this...






BAM! {if only Emeril used the GGG???}
And I thought the glitter would be enough, but even I see that it just needs
something more...I haven't decided what yet...but I can't rush the process...
but even plain...I can see several of these on a white tree...
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh la la!






I bought these little pastry boxes a little while ago {"a little while ago"
I say this a lot....I find that time has no meaning any more...well, it does,
just not for me...or my sisters...we will swear to the death that it was
juuuuust last year that this or that happened...NOT!
Try three years...five years...yeesh!}
Ok, where was I...pastry boxes...I even buy them without the pastries...
just the hint of a pastry is enough...ok, not really, but I just like
looking at them...even pastry-less! {sick!}
So, I made it into a purdy decoration!
{I know this says something about me...but let's not delve...
we'll save that for my episode of Dr. Phil! ACK!}





Ok...I reeled myself in...and made this little spooliciously festive treat.
I have spools...and I don't sew...so, I better find a way to use them, eh?
{Uh, no...learning to sew was NOT an option! But you are funny, though!;}





Hey! I was all prairie and stuff before prairie was cool...Laura Ingalls
and I go way back...on the prairie...in a soddy {look it up...this post
is nothing if not educational...} Anywho...so, me and my "little house"
got all nostalgic and thought our little yuletide play on words was
a bit of fun...but, you know, I spend a lot of time alone...with cats...
my perception may be skewed! {may be??? ;}






I have tortured you enough...forgive me...
{you don't have to tell anyone you know me! ;}
