Well, Halloween is in full swing here at the house, but up in my studio I am getting ready to switch gears to Christmas. I don't know that I will be making a whole lot of things for my
SHOP this Christmas season, I haven't been keeping it up very well. I would love to see that change, but we will see!
In the mean time, I have had this idea in my head for a few weeks to make these coffin shaped Halloween pendants. I got {swiped} a whole set of old wooden dominoes from my moms house and Scott let me play with his power tools & I made these.
They didn't turn out exactly how I wanted them, the embossing powder isn't as clear as I would have liked, but I tried Ranger's 'Glossy Accents' first, and it seemed like it had lots of bubbles. So, they aren't perfect, but still cute I guess. I will perfect them for next year for sure!
I made the pictures using digital scrap booking images and Photo Shop. I had a couple more ideas, too- but you know, Halloween shopping is about over & it's time to get Christmas things out! I still have all my other Halloween projects that I started, too- banners, glass spiders, another pendant...So next year, look out!!
I haven't decided if I am going to list them on Etsy or not- like I said, they aren't perfect- but I guess that's what home made is, huh? Maybe I'll price them low... I'll decide later today. Maybe. Let me know what you think!?!
Have a great Tuesday~ Lisa
I did a post awhile ago about the Money Trees that I have made in the past. My mother-in-law is going to a wedding this weekend and asked if I would make one as a gift. The color of the wedding is Latte. I bought the flower pot for $4 and had the rest at home! I tied on $10 bills folded and rolled all over the tree, you can barely see them! It's one of my favorites so far!! How can anything the color of coffee turn out bad, though?!?!? 
Finally, I couldn't help but make these cute little brownie treats for Jake's Halloween Party at school today! 
Have a great day, Lisa
Before I start full swing into Christmas I just wanted to share some other Halloween adornments I made this year and last.
I made these yummy truffles, too- they are {were, they are gone now} SO good! Thanks to Martha for that recipe! {I was going to link to the recipe, but the Martha Stewart website won't load today}
