Fall Craft Night

So, this time we really will have a craft night (the last one I couldn't do because I couldn't find a replacement blade for the saw I needed) I am thinking of doing it the last WED of August. I have to check with hubby's schedule before I can set the date for sure. Here is our project:

I know I know, it is still JULY - but Fall is just around the corner! I like to put up fall after Labor day, so if we do this at the end of August, then that will be perfect! The blocks are made from a 2x4 cut out staggered heights and routed.

Notice how one side of the pumpkin I painted a jack-o-lantern face for halloween, and the other side is blank for Sept. and Nov. This is one you can leave up through Thanksgiving! I love that! Here is a close up of the pumpkin - so cute!!!

Project Cost: $10 - remember, that will cover EVERYTHING! you don't need paint, or brushes, or anything - I will provide all of it. (the letters on the blocks are card stock, not vinyl - so I can keep the cost low)
I would like to have a pretty good idea of who will be doing this by August 15th so I can get all the wood cut and routed in time. Can't wait! :)

Can't get enough!

Last night was our candlestick craft night. It was such a blast!!! Thank you everyone who came! (We assembled 28 candle sticks) I hope you all had as much fun as I did! So last night I couldn't go to sleep because I had had so much fun and couldn't wait till our next craft night, so here it is.



We will do these sometime in June (probably the first week or two) and I haven't figured out the cost for sure but I am thinking $10 (I am pretty confident it won't be more)
Disclaimer: These are not mine, I found them on etsy (I think) a while back and this morning I spent an hour trying to find the seller so I could give credit where credit is due, but couldn't find them at all. (I like to surf the internet and copy and paste ideas I like into a craft folder) So ours might look slightly different, but they will be pretty dang close.
If you want to do them, leave me a comment or call. Everyone is welcome!
I can't wait!!!

Craft Night!!!

I don't know about the rest of you, but I am very ready for a girls night out! So any and all of you who are interested in making these big n' chunky candlesticks are welcome to come! The cost for all three is $25. As of now I am planning on doing it Wednesday, May 12 at about 8 pm. (it may have to change depending on my hubby's travel schedule)
Due to the amount of time I will have to put in, I need the money by April 26th, so I can get the wood and get started cutting and routing everything.

The cost includes: all wood for 3 candlesticks, paint (I will have white, brown, or black available), sandpaper, brushes, nails, and glue (candles or wreaths not included - but you can get 2 for $5 at Hobby Lobby - plus a 40% coupon)

Dimensions: Tallest candlestick is 27", middle one is 22", and smallest is 17" (mine are slightly taller and too tall, so I will be shortening them a bit)
Everyone is welcome to come- just leave me a comment with your email if I don't know you!
*note - they will not have that bead board look that you see in the close-up of mine - it was a huge failure! So I won't be repeating that one! :)
