ANOTHER VALENTINE GOODIE!

Greetings, dear readers! Today I share with you yet ANOTHER (you WILL be sick of Valentines Day by the time it rolls around...promise!) Valentine Goodie from the Palace. Behold...the Grungeboard:

If you'll remember, a few posts ago I mentioned getting a package of Grungeboard from my hubby...this is my first experiment with it and I must tell you, I LOVE IT! Other than having to find a glue that will hold it in place (hot glue is NOT the answer!) it was a dream to work with. I changed the color of the heart about 4 times, wiping off and then repainting or reinking, and it wasn't even a little worse for the wear! It's also flexible, so unlike chipboard it doesn't get the unsightly "bends". It is, in a word FAB! Try it, you'll like it!

More soon!

Greetings Fellow Merry Makers! As I am being slowly sucked into the holiday hooplah, I am finding some of the most WONDERFUL inspiration on Etsy, the web and Flickr...Behold:

Made from vintage postcards and old children's books

And these from bits of left over ribbon!

And these FABulous Good Luck "hens" from left over quilting fabric!

And Look at these yummy handmade goodies from the amazing artists at Etsy! (I pledged to give only handmade this Christmas!)

And these adorable Christmas owls...

And these wonderful little treasures...one made from license plates and the other from gum wrappers...which are not as much Altered as Recycled...Aren't they WONderful?
