Boots and Shoes Wall Decoration

Do you have someone who likes shoes or boots. I have a Brother In Law James who owns and operates his own JT Shoe store. He repairs your favorite shoes you just don’t want to toss out.

James suddenly became ill. And will be out of work for about 3 months.  His customers were leaving notes on the door.  

Crafting Time saw this and created a cute wall hanging decorations for him. 

Differently cute for his work space.

Rose Flower Dolls

Oh how cute these Rose Flower Dolls are. Homemade beautiful dolls. A rare item now days. But to a CV hild these Flower Rose Dolls will bring many hours of imagination play.

Made with only a few supplies: ping ping ball (head), a full silk rose, 3 pipe cleaners, brushed yarn (hair) and a markers red rose (lips) and blue (eyes).

Easter Egg Lilies

Love making these lovely Easter Egg Lilies. Vibrant colors and lilies together bring a new fashion to coloring easter eggs. A beautiful bouquet for a centerpiece for the spring and Easter.

Hot Air Balloon

Enjoy the hights of the sky. Or think of a ride in the sky. I created a Hot Air Balloon out of tissue paper and mod podge, pipe cleaners, and a bowl for the basket. A push light sits on the X inside the balloon part. Leaving you the basket to put in what you would like to show off.

Organizing Paper To Craft

Here is an idea to hold your crafting papers.  Yes it is a shutter. And you can easily hold the 12 x 12 papers, and vinyl’s, glitter papers, and so much more.

Here is how I made this cool idea.  I took fabric and slide it through the slot of the shutter.  Than I used Gorilla Mounting Tape and put across the shutter slot.  than I pulled the fabric back through the slot leaving enough room for the paper 12″ x 12″ to show on the other side (that is the front and the pocket is the back.) The paper should be no higher than the slot in front.

Than I repeated the process to get this great and undamaged paper storage.   this is what I used for years.  And Jennifer from Jennifermaker.com used this as well but did it just a bit different than what i do.  To check hers out as well go to

Open up your storage boxes and bags, it will save you lots of money.

Open up your storage boxes and bags, it will save you lots of money.  .Do you have things in boxes for later use? or a bag tossed in the corner or tucked in a box for a project later.  I just went through 6 large boxes and found my flowers that was packed away.  What was amazing on this all, is I had just made a list of flowers for my shopping spree for crafting.  I would of spent at least $200.00 on flowers.

It is snowing out and we are expecting 6 inches of snow.  I did not want to drive in the snow, so I decided to do clear out my boxes.  What a discovery.  I have enough flowers with out any doubt for at least 1 year.

I went though the flower patch by separating stemmed flowers, and made a beautiful display with those flowers.  The flowers that did not have a stem went into a bin, and will be used in immediate projects.  And the leaves for the flowers were put into a bin as well and will be added to the flowers as they are used.  For some reason the stems and leaves of the flowers were removed from the flower.

If you follow me on Facebook you will be able to see all of what I did to organize the flowers.   This little time consuming project saved me lots of money.  Open your boxes and bags from you storage and see what you can save and use, before your next project. Save your money and use what you already have.

Ping Ping Dog

How fun this dog was to make. Its amazing how a few ping pong balls can create a dog.

First thing to know .. if you use hot glue… to much will melt the ball.. or pop it. Use a touch of glue, only. And do not touch the metal on the ball.. it will melt into the ball.

Supplies: 8 ping pong balls, 2 bubble eyes, foam ball for nose, red glitter sticker for mouth, foam for ears, and a golf tee for the tail. And of course hot glue. And a ribbon for collar.

Dogs that love to play

Dogs love to play. And this is a Border Collie and they love to fetch and return a ball or freeze bee or bring you a stick or 2.  Very full of energy and loves attention.  The more the better.

They are also a shedding year round dog. And will need to be de-shedding about 3 to 4 time a year.  Best done with a groomer.

This picture is a Cricut craft I made from CraftwithSarah.com for those who wish to make one. The heart I added for my own likes.  Sarah has 2 bundles and are very cute.

Christmas Around The World Japan

The Japan greeting is Meri Kurismasu. There are not many Christians in this Country, but Christmas is a time to host important events and programs in their Churches and share the Christmas message with others.

The Japanese celebrate like America and Canada. Trees are decorated but they use paper fans and lanterns , dolls and flowers. Hoteiosho is the Japanese god who has eyes behind his head to see what child is good tobrings gifts. Some Japanese enjoy Santa traditions as well.

Christmas Around The World  Italy

Merry Christmas in Italian is Buon Natale!  And the first Christmas Carol’s probably came from Italy.  And mangers are set up and left empty till Christmas  Eve. When baby Jesus was born.  

Most children do not receive gifts til Jan. 6th.  La Befana brings them. She rides in on a broom stick and goes house to house searching for the Christ Child and leaving gifts for all the good children.
