Christmas Test Tubes

EDIT: If you want some of the test tubes shipped to you...they are .75 each + shipping - while supplies last! Check with me first so that I can make sure they are still available. Just email me at: kaitysmom@fuse.net

Hi There!
So sorry that it has been so long since I posted! My last craft show at Cooper High School went so well, I SOLD OUT of so many things! I have been working really hard this last week or so to replenish everything...especially with Thanksgiving coming up, I know that I will have a limited amount of time to get everything done this time!

Anyhoo.....since I have been re-making a lot of things, I thought I would so you something that I have been working on today! These are Test Tubes, just like the ones I made for Halloween HERE, but I decided not to make the little "holder box thingy" for these. These would be great for co-workers, teachers or stocking stuffers!

I got the test tubes from a little candy outlet here locally....LOVE that place! Also got the candy that is inside there as well. They are called "Sixlets" - just think little bitty Whoppers! And the colors are fabulous!

Hi There!

Anyhoo....finishing these cute little clothespins today and finally found a way to display them! This was a suggestion from a crafter on SCS. GENIUS I tell you! And all for less than $10.00. Used a metal cookie sheet from Walmart ($4.50) and a book stand from Michael's ($4.00 with 50% coupon).

The magnets I used are from this site on ebay and are SUPER strong. I had to change my adhesive to that "stinky" E-6000 stuff because the magnets were pulling off the clothespin!

Puppy and Kitty Treats - More Craft Show Items

Hi there!

Quick post before I head off to watch TV for the evening....It's Housewives of Atlanta and Orange County Night!

Anyhoo.....we can't forget our "fur babies" this holiday, so I made a few treats for their stockings! OK...admit it....you put up a stocking for your dog/cat! You are not alone!!! We have 3 stocking - (2) dogs and (1) cat - used to have a hamster too....but that is a whole different blog post! :)

The dog and cat die cuts were made with my Cricut....I really need to dig that out more often. Made these so simple and easy. Made about 40 in just a couple hours!

Peppermint Patties

Hi there!
I'm in full on craft show mode right now...next show is on the 14th and I have a ton of new ideas to work on!

These are York Peppermint Patties! I found them at Target...but sad to say that I don't think they have them packaged in the foil covers anymore. I think that they are now packaged in little individual plastic bags....so more more peppermint patties after this batch!

Anyway, these are super easy! I had a bunch of left-over chocolate covered pretzel rod bags from Halloween and saw a post on SCS from Cindy and Maria at Crafty Creations that used them for the Peppermint Patty wheels - PERFECT FIT! And they are packaged so different too - that I hope they are great sellers! Would make cute stocking stuffers, teacher/co-worker or neighbor gifts.

Jr. Legal Pad Covers - File Folder

Hi there!
Been working on replenishment of the items that I sold from my last show and a couple new things that I am pretty excited about!

These are Jr. Legal Pads that I found at Walmart (6 for $2.50 ish) and file folders that I bought at Staples. (12 for $8.00) You can also find some single folders at Michael's and Walmart, but I liked the colors on the ones from Staples better.

Got the tutorial for these HERE. They are super easy! Once you make a couple, you can whip one out in about 15 minutes! Will add some beaded pens with them....but haven't decided how I will attach them to the folder or pad yet. If you are curious about the beaded pens, try HERE for the tutorial. I use the Mini Micro Beads and O' So Sticky Paperback Tape from Penny Wise Arts HERE.

If you have any questions, email me: kaitysmom@fuse.net
