Lost Mini Album - Never know what you'll find!!

Hey everyone!!

I was recently cleaning out a closet in one of my spare bedrooms and came across a box labeled 'Mini Albums'. WHAT??!! Where did this come from??!!

Have you ever done this before? Go on a cleaning/purging spree, box things up, throw things away, store things in various areas of the house, then go on with your life? Only to find things at a way later date like it's Christmas?! Please tell me I'm not the only one! lol

I pulled this box out and frantically ripped it open----ok...carefully ripped it open because I didn't want to tear anything inside----to find a bunch of mini albums and various things I made a long time ago.

I vaguely remember making this album. Let me know what you think of it. I was thinking about putting it up for sale for someone else to enjoy it. Since I obviously completely forgot I even had it! What would you sell it for...or better yet....what would you pay for it?

Thanks for looking/reading!

School-themed Decorative Boxes

Hey everyone!

Remember those paper mache boxes I bought? I posted some of the Halloween ones I made. So here are some school-themed ones I did!

I think I'm going to sell these for $10.00 per set of 3 at the craft fair. What do you think?

Thanks for looking!!

Halloween Box Sets

Hey Everyone!!

So, there is a craft store called Pat Catan's that are closing in our area. I picked up 12 sets of these for $3.00! They are only 0.25 cents each and each set has 3 different sizes. I couldn't believe it and had to get some to see what I could do with them.

I have 2 events I need to make and sell things for. One is for our upcoming fundraiser for our shelter. I need to make things for their silent auction. The second is for craft fairs I have coming up throughout the rest of the year.

This is what they look like out of the packaging.....

I started by picking out papers and black ink for Halloween. I inked the edges of the boxes and lids.

I measured the top of the lid, the four sides of the lid, and the four sides of the box. I cut the paper to size, inked the edges, and glued them on!

I did an assembly line with the cutting and inking. This made them work up so quickly and easily!

I am going to do some Christmas and non-holiday ones also. I'll post those when I get some done.

Thank you for looking! Don't forget to follow me here, Instagram, and Pinterest!

Crafting Sale!!!

Hello everyone!!

Hope you all are doing fabulous!

As many of you know, I am kind of the single, crazy, cat lady! With that comes the many phone calls to take in strays and unwanted cats. I currently have 17 - yes, seventeen! - rescues that I call my own. To top it off, they are all indoor and some with special needs! So I'm sure you can only imagine how expensive things get around here. Not only the feeding, litter, and daily maintenance, but the vet bills getting them spayed/neutered and healthy, all add up greatly!

Since I am a single mom, working for minimum wage, pinching pennies is what I do to keep my son and I fed and housed along with our rescues. Money is getting tight so I have decided to purge some of my crafting supplies!! There are also items that I have made myself to help raise some funds for these rescues. With that said, please go check out my facebook page to see if there's anything you like!

All orders of $20 or more will ship free!
