These Christmas trees are so fun to make!

It almost ended up in the trash at my friends garage sale but I grabbed it because I saw the ghostly potential.

Today is a rainy day and I'm playing around in my workshop.

I just love pallet art, especially the ones with pumpkins!

Sometimes I just want to turn everything I find  into a pumpkin in the Fall. 

Remember when I said I'd use that bling from an old light...

Christmas is 12 short weeks away...



Now that I have your attention, I'm reposting a very popular ornament post from a few years ago.

My first thought was to find vinyl Christmas words online  to use for my project.
But in the end I decided to hand paint them.  
I used scraps of driftwood I found on the beach. I just love hunting for driftwood scraps on the beach.



I gave them a quick coat of white spray paint then hand painted Christmas words with a Sharpie oil-based paint marker.

I gave them a quick sanding for a distressed, rustic look.

I drilled holes in the corners of each block and wrapped waxed twine around the ends and through the holes of each block. 

I finished some off with a flannel ribbon and a DIY rusty mini clothespin.
