Button, button, who's got the button?

I was tardy a lot in high school. I also frequently waited 'til the last minute to get my assignments done. I guess some things never change.

LAST Friday Heidi hosted a button party! For her Craft Challenge of the month participants created and shared a button project. Here's mine:

I gathered my supplies:

I cut my empty TP tubes to the size I wanted, then cut strips of scrapbook paper to the same width.


I was going to use Mod Podge (you know how I love it!) to attach the paper to the tubes, but decided to use spray adhesive instead. If you use MP it will probably make them a little stronger, and more spill proof.


I then glued coordinating buttons around the edges of my decorated TP tubes.



When I was done...VOILA! Adorable napkin rings perfect for when we FINALLY have pic nick weather outside! Don't let the sunshine fool you...it's COLD!

These are adorable! My girls would love to do somthing like this for our "fancy" dinners (sometimes I break out the china for a treat). I may need a cool temp glue gun...not sure if they really are cooler and safer for little hands. I'll think of soemthing!

Hand Made for Fall - A party and a Giveaway!

I've been a busy girl! I have been wanting to do a giveaway for Fall, and when my fab friend Heidi revealed that her Monthly Craft Challenge for October would be Fall-themed crafts, I thought "YES! I will do a giveaway of Fall items - handmade by me!" So today I'm linking up with Heidi , and introducing my Handmade For Fall Giveaway as I show you what I've made for Heidi's party ! Sound good? First, a while back I showed you some coasters that I made, but it was clear back when I first started blogging, so I'm going to show you again with this new seasonal set! This idea has been floating around blog land, and I've seen several different variations. Here's how I do it. You will need: paper napkins, 4x4 ceramic tiles, 4x4 cork squares, MOD PODGE (what else?), sponge brushes (not shown), and polyurethane (not shown). Start by cutting your napkin down to a manageable size, slightly bigger than your tile. Next spread a layer of mod podg onto the t

Friend Makin' Monday and 100th post giveaway!

I just love Mondays! If you've never heard of Friend Makin' Monday , go to Kasey's to read all the rules and join in! I have met some of my best bloggy friends through FMM ! This week's task is to complete the following tag: 5 Senses Tag We are to list 4 things we love, and one thing we dislike, for each sense. Smell Like: 1. Pot roast in the oven! 2. Sunkissed Citrus Scentsy, and Melon Medley from the Walmart knock-off scents! 3. rubbing alcohol (I know, I need help) 4. along those same lines...nail polish and nail polish remover. Dislike: coffee Touch Like: 1. The click, click of the keyboard beneath my fingers! 2. back massage from my husband - he has magic hands! 3. an ice cold soda can on the back of my neck on a hot summer day! 4.Hot showers Dislike: Hot glue on my fingertips! Occupational hazard for me! Sound 1. My baby (okay she's 2 now!) whispering "secrets" in my ear. 2. My kiddo's giggles. 3. My husband's singing. He has a very nice si
