Christmas came to our home!!!

Remember my pumpkins?!?!?!  I had so many, I couldn't figure out what to do with them all.

For Halloween I did these.

So...  For Christmas I decided to use them to make a SNOWMAN!!!  I love snowmen/women, they are my favorite Christmas decorations.  They are just so cute!!

I decided she was going to be a she!!!  Haven't names her yet.  OT has already knocked her head off once too.  She'll eventually go outside once it gets cold and stays cold (and isn't so dern WINDY!!)

Each morning as I'm drinking my latte, I'll look around at all the beautiful things others make to get inspiration, or ideas.  A while back I came across this tute on how to make lampshade covers for a chandelier.  Well, I have these wall sconces that I don't mind, but once the walls were painted, they pretty much fade into the wall color.  I've never found any other shades that I likes, OR if I did, they were $$$$.  That dern champagne taste on a beer budget.  Ugh!!!  So, when I saw this, I got inspired!!!!

My boring, camouflaged wall sconce shades

closer look; they are pretty, just blah.

Went to Jo Ann's one day for glitter and they were having a scrapbook paper sale.  5 sheets for $.95.  I bought 4 of the glitter'ish red, 4 of the glitter'ish orange (the color of my living room) and then purchased the snowflake stamp sheets.  Cut them apart and glued to the red shades.  For my first attempt, I'm not disappointed.  Not perfect, but...  Gotta wait for the next sale and try it again.  I'll post when I do my "regular" ones.

Need to put up the big tree in our living room and do my outside decor and I'm ready for SNOW and CHRISTmas!!!!
